Cloudera Episode 6: Machine Learning - Take Risks and Fail

Cloudera

Many organisations are struggling to get their machine learning and AI projects off the ground.  The reason? There are no shortcuts to achieving machine learning capabilities. ML is solving hugely complex problems and in order to do that you've got to be prepared to experiment - and yes, maybe even fail sometimes.

In this podcast, Jeff Fletcher, Senior Director of Product Management at Cloudera, explains why we need to rethink how we operationalise ML within the enterprise. Jeff starts by talking about what technology types apply to ML and what people should keep in mind about the operational side when testing. Also, he outlines the boundaries of machine learning, AutoML, and artificial intelligence and how cloud fits into this process. Finally, Jeff explains the importance of feeding and caring for how the data is trained.

Cloudera was founded in 2008 by some of the brightest minds at Silicon Valley’s leading companies—including Google (Christophe Bisciglia), Yahoo! (Amr Awadallah), Oracle (Mike Olson), and Facebook (Jeff Hammerbacher). Doug Cutting, co-creator of Hadoop, joined the company in 2009 as Chief Architect and remains in that role.

Cloudera delivers an enterprise data cloud for any data, anywhere, from the Edge to AI. Powered by the relentless innovation of the open source community, Cloudera advances digital transformation for the world's largest enterprises.
