Stephen Brobst, Truision Partner, CTO of Teradata Corp., & Managing Partner at Sampo Technologies & Systems, will be discussing Artificial Intelligence.
Autonomous Decision-Making, Machine Learning, and Artificial Intelligence: What Does It All Mean and Why Should You Care?
We have entered a new era of analytics with machine learning and artificial intelligence algorithms beginning to deliver on the long promised advancement into self-learning systems. These approaches allow us to solve previously intractable problems with completely new attack plans. The appetite of deep learning algorithms for vast amounts of data and the ability to derive intelligence from diverse sets of noisy data allows us to go far beyond previous capabilities in what we used to call advanced analytics. However, to be successful we need to understand the capabilities and limitations of the new technologies. We also need to develop new skill sets in order to harness the power of deep learning to create business value in an enterprise.
- Learn about the future of artificial intelligence and how you can take advantage of emerging capabilities today.
- Learn about the differences between deep learning and shallow learning and when to apply which technique.
- Learn about the pitfalls and opportunities for using advanced analytics to create high value outcomes.

Marc Donner’s Bio
Marc Donner was born in a log cabin on the Lower East Side of Manhattan in the second half of the twentieth century. After high school he escaped to Los Angeles where he studied physics, math, and electrical engineering at Caltech. Later he worked at NASA on planetary radar. He got lost one day and ended up back on the east coast where he joined IBM Research for a while before finding his way to CMU where he earned a PhD in computer science and party organizing while programming Ivan Sutherland’s six-legged walking robot. A talk on juggling by Claude Shannon inspired him to build a juggling robot. While that work was going on he sponsored Ted Selker’s work that led to the TrackPoint. He then got involved in large-scale distributed computing which led him from IBM to Morgan Stanley. There his possession of the root password let him build the first Intranet. Later on he fooled around with big data in the marketing department and built some entertaining economic and financial models in the research department. After his spider sense warned him of the impending collapse of the financial industry, he moved to Google where he led a number of efforts in the New York office – Ads development, DoubleClick integration, Google Health, Google Finance, Network Software, and the Google Art Project. After his spider sense tingled again, he moved to Uber as the engineering site director for the New York office, after a two-year relapse with the financial services industry. The simple life lasted only six months, after which Uber asked him to take on leadership of all of SRE, which he then undertook.
