Clickless Analytics – Disambiguating George (Part 2 of ∞)

Does not look like a technical heading? It is as serious as my other stuff. And I have forgiven the definition of technical for being ambiguous. The problem for working in a Clickless world starts with the meaning as meant in the input. So, a simple phrase “come on George” Could mean multiple things. A classic problem which the bot engine developers are resolving by using patterns and machine learning. “Come on” said by a mother, boyfriend, boss, colleague, store keeper, the barista could mean entirely different things at different times depending on the previous sentences.

I am sure you all have experienced this on the large e-commerce site and enjoyed it.

Clickless Analytics – Augmented Analytics

Gartner recently released a paper on Augmented Analytics which is described as “An approach that automates insights using machine learning, and natural-language generation.”

So as a gyani disseminating free gyan on the internet, I have chosen to write a few words on this.

This blog post of mine is an extremely biased and opinionated post. This is because any attempt to be fair and unbiased would not be thought provoking. We believe in clickless analytics and path to that includes learning and responding, predicting and suggesting, warning and solving.

Self-Serve Data Preparation Provides Significant Benefit to the Enterprise

By providing sophisticated analytical features and algorithms in an easy-to-use self-serve environment, the enterprise enables business users to perform data preparation and test theories and hypotheses and prototype on their own. Rather than preparing data at the central meta-data layer, and restricting what business users can do and see, IT enabled (rather than IT controlled), self-serve data preparation allows users to compile and prepare data and use that data in analytics to test hypotheses, perform visualization and create and share reports, and create custom alerts and other information. Business users can control the data elements, the volume and the timing.
