It comes as no surprise that machine learning models are in production systems right now. How a machine learning algorithm got there is a little bit complicated story. So in the recently concluded MLOps (Machine Learning and IT Operations), that was held virtually from June 15th to 18th, one thing is clear, the proliferation of machine learning algorithms in production systems is a challenge to deploy. The theme of most of the talks in the conference is centered around taking software development practices and DevOps (software development and IT operations) and applying them to deploying machine learning algorithms. The workshop gave meaningful insights into how an organization can adapt some of the platforms presented at the conference. If we want to leverage machine learning algorithms in software products, we need a platform to consistently develop, test, and deploy machine learning algorithms in production. The workshop presented some of the platforms that can be used right now, li

Abstract  In this paper, we will explore why NLP (Natural Language Processing) techniques contribute to Human Advancement. We will revisit how the interpretation of a text, learning from writing, and interaction with NLP based technologies affect our lives, decision, and behaviors. We will also see how NLP affects our community and social structure. 1 Introduction  NLP technique is key to our human advancement. It is crucial now for interpreting a corpus of text. It will be critical as more sources of text are digitized. It is also the reason why we need to advocate digitization adaptation. NLP techniques are how we are going to sustain the information needs of our society. NLP is also a key technology in our learning. It is becoming a necessity for our human development as we shift our social interactions online. As we produce more text that can be analyzed, we can look into a person’s profile and information without actually revealing it. Profiling can be used to target and influence

Are you tired of waiting?  Almost every day of your life will be spent waiting. You will be waiting in traffic. You will be waiting to buy or acquire a service. You will be waiting on the internet for your movie, music, or social media update. For the longest time, the human race has been inventing a lot of things for us to save time. But why are we still waiting?  We live in only one Earth, where we are bound within finite space and resources. More human beings are getting introduced to this home of ours. There are only enough resources that we can share. So, the future will bring us longer waiting times for us to share these resources because there will be more of us. There will be longer wait times because there are a lot more of us (humans) vying for the same resources. Roadways, Food, Water, Air, Internet, and Services (e.g., Healthcare, Legal, Social) will need to be efficiently used and scheduled. We have systems in place to access these resources. Our current policies a

Intelligent systems are augmenting our ability to make decisions. This ability to make decisions is based on machine learning models or deep learning models that use large amounts of data that are non-parametric that fit into non-linear functions.  These models are hard to comprehend and explain. We are plugging a lot of these models into business processes in every industry.  Soon it will be hard to monitor and justify the root of a decision made because of these models. Take, for example, a step in a process where a human decides.  We can ask the human about the reason for the decision. There is also discretion on the decision based on the ethics of the one who decides. The decision might not be as consistent or efficient to maximize any benefit after that decision, but at least somebody can explain the details about the decision and understand the reason behind it. Now let's take the data behind past human choices and create a model using  AI in an intelligent system. We opt

For the longest time, our ancestors have transferred a lot of knowledge through social learning. Social learning in a family or community setting builds the foundation for adaptability as an adult. An extended childhood with a lot of opportunities for social learning is one of our adaptation. ( https://www.americanscientist.org/article/the-benefits-of-a-long-childhood ). All humans learn socially and individually. We use whatever we learn to guide our behavior or decision to what we think would be beneficial to us. The context of social learning is an ever-changing landscape. The setting of our social learning and the influences that we have from people are now shifting online. With just a few clicks of the button, you can learn from professors from ivy league universities, consult with a doctor, or even cook dinner with a world-class chef. Gone are the days that you learn your trade from your father or immediate family. You no longer are bound by the tradition of your ancestry o
