Foresight with Technology
Predictive modeling is a process that uses data mining and probability to forecast outcomes. Each model is made up of a number of predictors, which are variables that are likely to influence future results. Once data has been collected for relevant predictors, a statistical model is formulated. As additional data becomes available, the statistical analysis model is validated or revised. Predictive…
Read MoreSemantic Search Technology
Semantic technology is a frequent topic of conversation in the information science world. Machine learning or semantic technology is the basis for most commercial artificial intelligence (AI) systems. But where does semantic search fit in? Semantic search seeks to improve search accuracy by understanding searcher intent and the contextual meaning of terms as they appear…
Read MoreThe Search Journey
Content without access is relatively worthless. Enterprise search is how an organization helps people seek the information they need, in any format, from anywhere inside their company.

Read MoreLooking Deeper at Predictive Analytics
Predictive modeling and predictive analytics are terms used, often interchangeably, in big data. Predictive modeling uses regression models and statistics to predict the probability of outcomes and it can be applied to any unknown event. Predictive modeling is often used in the field of machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI). The model is chosen using detection theory to…
Read MoreData Safety Across Generations
Safety took on an entirely new level of importance in 2020. Even in the world of technology, safety of data is different with so many people working from home or remote locations. Organizations have had to think outside the normal working conditions to ensure their information, resources and data are safe. But how safe is…
