Latest trends in Visualising Machine Learning: A case-study driven approach to humanising the intelligence

Abstract

These are exciting times for the discipline of data science. While we make stellar advances in AI and further the cognitive capability of machines, there is a rising disenchantment & distrust in the technology. One of the key factors at the root of this growing dichotomy is the lack of understanding in machine learning and deepening opaqueness of the algorithms. This talk will highlight this challenge by using industry case studies to illustrate practical roadblocks faced by enterprises with the adoption of machine learning and AI initiatives. The solution framework that can be leveraged to tackle this challenge head-on will be presented by showcasing some of the relevant, upcoming trends in Information Design, Data Visualisation and Machine learning that are particularly useful in this perspective. Through live examples, the successful implementation of such techniques across domains and business use cases will be presented.
