Search-based BI: Are you ready for the next wave in Business Intelligence?

Neural Networking Trends — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 08:56:18 +0000

BI has been around for years now, and I would argue that since the introduction of the Data Warehousing concept in the early ‘90s, not much has changed. Innovations in consumer electronics, entertainment, and communications have been revolutionizing the day-to-day lives of millions of people. Through the Internet, consumers have unlimited access to information and tools. Social networks, messaging and new media have changed the way people communicate and exchange information. On the other hand, BI has seemed to avoid any disruptive innovation. In this article, I’ll describe what might be the next wave of innovation in BI. I’ll point out why BI needs to become user-friendly, intelligent and agile to fulfill its potential. Some hints of these new features already exist today. Search-based BI is one of those interesting new innovations capable of changing the landscape of tomorrow’s BI.

NY Times: Machines May Outsmart Man

Impressed and alarmed by advances in artificial intelligence, a group of computer scientists is debating whether there should be limits on research that might lead to loss of human control over computer-based systems that carry a growing share of society’s workload, from waging war to chatting with customers on the phone. Their concern is that further advances could create profound social disruptions and even have dangerous consequences.

Datamining in SQL Server: Customer Profiling

Neural Networking Trends — Sun, 28 Mar 2010 09:54:16 +0000

The 2n tutorial in the beginner’s series on datamining in SQL Server. In this tutorial, clients are classified into logical clusters by means of a classification algorithm. The method used in this tutorial for creating customer profiles is called “unsupervised clustering”.

Business Intelligence in 2020?

Neural Networking Trends — Sun, 28 Mar 2010 08:38:48 +0000

Let’s get and think out-of-the-box. We know the classical stuff: OLTP, ETL, DW, DM, OLAP.
What about BI in 2020? What do you consider to be the new frontiers in Decision Support and Business Intelligence? RAM or In-Memory processing, Integration of BI and Search Engines, Fusion of Structured and Non-Structured information, Artificial Intelligence and Intelligent Algorithms, Management Automation and Predictive Analytics, Real-time Datawarehousing or Closed-Loop BI? Please don’t limit yourself to one aspect of the discussion. Anything goes!

Henri Bergson on the Human Mind

“Dans ce corps démesurément grossi, l’âme reste ce qu’elle était, trop petite maintenant pour le remplir, trop faible pour le diriger. D’où le vide entre lui et elle. D’où les redoutables problèmes sociaux, politiques, internationaux, qui sont autant de définitions de ce vide et qui, pour le combler, provoquent aujourd’hui tant d’efforts désordonnés et inefficaces : il y faudrait de nouvelles réserves d’énergie potentielle, cette fois morale. Ne nous bornons donc pas à dire, comme nous le faisions plus haut, que la mystique appelle la mécanique. Ajoutons que le corps agrandi attend un supplément d’âme, et que la mécanique exigerait une mystique.”

Do we control AI?

Some people think that we control AI or that we can develop it in a controlled manner… The opposite is the case.
