NLP systems in health care are hard—they require broad general and medical knowledge, must handle a large variety of inputs, and need to understand context. We’re in an exciting decade for natural language processing (NLP). Computers will get as good as humans in complex tasks like reading comprehension, language translation, and creative writing.

For a while, Microsoft has been toying with different methods for training and credentials. They launched the Microsoft Professional Program in Data Science back in 2017. While it provides great content, it did not result in either a college diploma or an official Microsoft certification.

It has been 5 years since Gartner embarked on the journey to enhance our coverage of the risk management technology marketplace. That journey included in-depth survey research and countless interactions with our end-user clients to understand their need to better manage strategic, operational and IT/cybersecurity risks. These end-user needs and resulting demand led to the definition of a new technology marketplace – integrated risk management (IRM).

Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability. It’s no surprise given the non-deterministic nature of LLMs. To effectively create reliable LLM-based (often with RAG) applications, extensive testing and evaluation processes are crucial. This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.

The world of data is now the world of Big Data. The genie is out of the bottle and there’s no going back. We produce more and more data every day and the datasets being generated are getting more and more complex. Traditionally, the way to handle this has been to scale up computing resources to handle these bigger datasets. That’s not feasible for the long term on a global scale, nor is it tenable in the near term for smaller organizations who may have limited resources to deal with their analyt

If we are not actively engaged in industries related to technology, we may fail to fully appreciate how we might already be influenced by artificial intelligence in our day-to-day world. Everyone is talking about self-driving cars, seemingly inanimate objects conversing with you about your personal preferences, someone somewhere already seems to recommend your shopping list armed with the knowledge of what you like or dislike.

For regulatory compliance (e.g., GDPR) and to ensure peak business performance, organizations often bring consultants on board to help take stock of their data assets. This sort of data governance “stock check” is important but can be arduous without the right approach and technology. That’s where data governance comes in …. While most companies hold the lion’s share of operational data within relational databases, it also can live in many other places and various other formats.
