Artificial Intelligence (AI) & Machine Learning (ML)
Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are ever changing and news evolving topic areas. Our team tackle these areas head on. This section contains a range of content from a whitepaper on ‘AI enabled Data Quality’ to blog posts on topics such as a series entitled ‘Practical AI’ including blogs on, ‘Explainable AI’, ‘Ethics’ and ‘Dataset Labelling’.
A number of the pieces are written by many of the team members with Dr. Raghad Shabnar and Dr. Fiona Browne taking the lead on the research behind these pieces. With this blog section, we hope to enlighten you to the ever-changing capabilities that AI and ML are bringing to not only our platform but to many industries.
With a growing team, we hope to give a voice to the different members within our team to unveil their thoughts on technical developments, industry changes and overall technology revolution.
Our Head of AI, Dr Browne has written some poignant pieces that are currently in the works. We aim to provide not only rich white papers but short blogs, long form blogs, bite size blogs and interviews with the team. We hope that you find this section enriching and AI heavy.
