Many organizations have interest or initiatives in Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) projects. There are certainly challenges in algorithm and model creation; however, the models produced need a continuous flow of information to learn over time. This presentation gives an overview of how we successfully structured our environment to support a sizeable strategic project, in concert with bringing additional value to our organization by implementing data as a service through data virtualization. Some topics we will address are: 

  • How do I continuously acquire and deploy data? 
  • How do I manage big data effectively?
  • How do I ensure models can continuously learn? 
  • How do I position to effectively exploit future data sources? 
  • How do I handle data protection while working with an external research partner?
  • How do I position for reuse of information for self-service and analytics?
  • What are some challenges and solutions associated with AI and ML projects?
