Check out all of the blog series: part 1, part 3, part 4, part 5. “I define nothing. Not beauty, not patriotism. I take each thing as it is, without prior rules about what it should be.” — Bob Dylan It’s entirely possible that someone, somewhere, has successfully built one of the amazing market predicting magic boxes from the previous…

At DataRobot, we strongly believe AI is a force for good. From the way deep learning algorithms can create art and writing to its applications for health and medicine, as well as astonishing head-to-head match-ups between AIs and humans in games, AI has made enormous strides towards imitating human behavior. At the same time, we recognize that AI is a…

This series of blog posts is based on a talk the author presented at ODSC Europe 2019 alongside Ayub Hanif, VP at JPMorgan’s Quantitative and Derivatives Strategy. We’ll look at how recent developments in automated machine learning and interpretability can help market participants build, test, and understand powerful AI models that support and enhance their investment processes. But first, some context is needed. Part 1: Beyond the Market-Predicting Magic Box In which we conclude that the existence of this article is strong evidence that we don’t know how to use AI to predict asset prices, either, and try to get real.

AI is Hard Investments in AI are growing every year, even during economic uncertainty. However, there are plenty of obstacles to successfully implementing artificial intelligence projects and creating organizational change that’s needed to drive them.  In such relatively hostile or apathetic climates, AI projects often succeed only because there’s someone who can see the forest for the trees; a person…

DataRobot Intelligent Value Estimator for 2020 MLB Team and Player Performance Recently, we predicted how the 60-game 2020 MLB season would unfold -- for teams and for individual players. Please see our original post for all of the details of how we build the models with DataRobot’s leading artificial intelligence platform. Who is projected to win each division in the…

Epigenetics, the study of how genes express themselves, is a growing field rich with potential. A common metaphor to understand how epigenetics differs from genetics is to think of a human genome as a family recipe book, where your DNA is the recipe. Epigenetics are all of the notes written in the margins making tweaks to the recipe, changing the…

In our previous post, we talked about how red AI means adding computational power to “buy” more accurate models in machine learning, and especially in deep learning. We also talked about the increased interest in green AI, in which we not only measure the quality of a model based on accuracy but also how big and complex it is. We…

Many executives and business owners perceive that artificial intelligence (AI) is only applicable to big companies such as Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix and Google, and not for smaller enterprises.  The reality is that any organization can implement, scale and benefit from AI today. Although it is true the Big Tech companies achieved early success through the adoption of artificial intelligence,…

DataRobot Intelligent Value Estimator for 2020 MLB Team and Player Performance Before the 2020 season started, we predicted how the MLB season would unfold -- for teams and for individual players  -- by leveraging DataRobot’s leading artificial intelligence platform. Then COVID changed the world. Health, the economy, and our entire way of life have all been fundamentally changed, as have…
