Cognilytica is hosting Kathleen Walch and Ron Schmelzer, Managing Partners at Cognilytica and their presentation ‘Intro to CPMAI Certification’ on Tuesday, August 9, 2022 at 11:30 AM ET! Far too often, agencies, organizations, and consulting firms are running data and AI projects without taking the right steps to ensure their success. Agile and iterative approaches have become adopted best practices for application development projects, but why don’t we have something similar when it comes to advanced analytics, big data, and AI projects? Without using best-practices approaches that standardize steps for data preparation, data identification, and data protection, it’s hard to achieve the success you’re expecting, wasting money and resources, leading to failure. This session will walk through the Cognitive Project Management for AI (CPMAI) methodology to provide the foundation needed for project success, especially as you incorporate advanced analytics and AI projects. The CPMAI methodology is the established best practice for AI & ML projects, and increasingly will be demanded by organizations and agencies that plan to develop, procure, and deliver AI and advanced analytics projects. This session will provide real world examples of how CPMAI methodology allows individuals to gain the skills needed for AI project success.

AI in Government is hosting guest speaker Jeremy Golant, Government Solutions Consultant at Coursera presenting ‘Driving Data Literacy in the Public Sector’ on Wednesday, August 10, 2022 from 12 PM - 1 PM ET! As data becomes more seamlessly integrated within decision-making processes, public sector agencies must ensure individuals across the workforce can read, work with, and question data in the context of their role. Data literacy shouldn’t be mistaken for technical literacy, and it doesn’t necessarily include the skills and knowledge needed by a data scientist. Rather, data literacy is now increasingly recognized as a core workforce competency and something that public sector agencies need to pay attention to. In this webinar, we’ll explore the concept of data literacy, share the impact that a more data literate workforce can have on public sector agencies, and provide a roadmap for driving data skills development in your own organization. Be sure to stick around till the end for Q&A with Jeremy!

Cognilytica is hosting Kathleen Walch and Ron Schmelzer, Managing Partners at Cognilytica and their presentation ‘The Top Reasons for AI Project Failure - and What you can Do about it’ on Tuesday, August 16, 2022 at 11:30 AM ET! Artificial intelligence and advanced data projects are gaining rapid traction. However, with all this interest and hype in AI, only a small percentage of AI projects are actually seeing success. Why are so many AI projects failing when they don’t need to? With all the resources, great technology, and skilled talent put towards building AI projects, we shouldn’t be seeing so much AI project failure, but up to 80% of AI projects are not being completed successfully or achieving critical success measures. Clearly it’s not a technology or people problem, so what could be the main issues holding back AI project success? Leveraging experience with thousands of AI projects and experience through best-practices approaches to AI, Cognilytica shares in this webinar the most common reasons for AI project failures and the insights to be learned from those failures. In this webinar we will discuss common reasons we see AI projects fail, the risk of overpromising and underdelivering on AI capabilities, methodologies and processes that can guarantee a higher rate of success, and how to avoid the common traps and pitfalls that usually beset AI projects.

Enterprise Data & AI is excited to host Dr. Harold Walbert, Solutions Data Analytics Manager at Guidehouse  and his presentation "Case Complexity Analysis: Using Advanced Analytics to Understand Complex Problems" on Thursday, August 18, 2022 from 12 PM - 1 PM ET! A problem can be solved or a question answered in many ways, but some ways may be better than others. The question of how hard a problem is to solve is something that scientists, researchers, computer scientists, governments and businesses have all thought about for a long time. These different groups work in different domains and are concerned with different questions of interest but an underlying need to categorize questions into categories is a need that unites them all. You may have a problem you want to solve, like sorting a list from highest to lowest or understanding which applications for a program will take the longest to adjudicate. Some of the questions (especially in the computational arena) don’t necessarily have a human interaction or social complexity aspect to them. Other questions (like those primarily asked in business and governmental contexts) are inescapably tied to issues around human behavior and the added complexity that it brings. Using advanced analytics we can begin to understand these problems better and position ourselves in ways that lead to better outcomes. Join this webinar to learn how Guidehouse achieves the best performance possible given these complicated problems using Case Complexity Analysis. Be sure to stick around for Q&A with Harold!

The August 2022 AI in Government event featured guest speaker is Dr. Tamara Roust, Chief Data Officer at the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission and her presentation ‘The Difficulties and Limitations of Implementing AI at the CFTC and Beyond’ Thursday, August 25, 2022 from 11:30 AM - 1 PM ET! Most institutions necessarily institute artificial intelligence (AI) to solve individual use cases in their enterprise, a form of “first-generation AI”. A chess program, speech recognition, an algorithm to rapidly buy and sell financial products. These are straightforward applications of structured data problems. One of the chief difficulties is in getting understanding in the enterprise beyond these structured data cases, particularly in the domain of limited budgets. Once the “first generation AI” is implemented, successfully or not, the next step is more lateral movement – development of more standalone cases, rather than layering and refactoring to produce additional complexity, the neural nets and deep learning AI problem sets. Join this interactive session to learn some of the difficulties associated with implementing AI as well as the difficulties moving from “first generation” to “second generation” AI in order to achieve business process improvement by modifying data architecture to reflect how data is actually used.

Join the September 2022 Enterprise Data & AI featured guest speaker Jerry Gupta, Senior Vice President, Personal and Commercial Insurance Research and Development at Swiss Re and his presentation ‘Model Maintenance: Hidden Costs of Data Science’ on Thursday, September 1, 2022 from 11:30 AM - 1 PM ET! Data Analytics is considered the fourth phase of industrialization. Not surprisingly, organizations are rushing to build up and accelerate their data science capabilities. While robustness of data, and availability of talent remain their primary concerns, one of the hidden failure modes is model maintenance. MIT Sloan Tech Review estimates that these costs can add up to several times the cost of model development over the lifecycle of the model. Yet majority of companies continue to underestimate both the costs and complexity associated with model maintenance. This results in poor ROI, but more importantly, model maintenance is a weight around the ankles of data science teams that results in reduced productivity and attrition.

Join this interactive session to learn the hidden costs of data science in model maintenance and stick around till the end for Q&A with Jerry! Register and attend for free on the Cognilytica event website.
