Thought Leader Keynote: Becoming an Ace with a Robot as your Wingman!
Humans and computers have strengths that are more complementary than alike – to the point where a sophisticated algorithm may be the best 2nd person to put on a complex task. Yet, our computer analytic weaknesses are surprisingly severe. To explore how to improve the man/machine partnership, we compare and contrast natural and artificial intelligence, with special attention to the growing realization of how challenging it is to think truly rationally.
Dr. John Elder heads the US's leading data mining consulting firm Elder Research that focuses on investment, commercial and security applications of advanced analytics, including text mining, credit scoring, image recognition, process optimization, cross-selling, drug efficacy, market timing, and fraud detection.

Measuring data mining myopia: the value analysts lose by relying on their favourite tools.
In many applications, data mining is deployed with the concrete goal of finding objective patterns – serving either as an enhancement or a replacement of human intuition. However the choice of algorithms used has unavoidable impact on final performance! In this session, we illustrate how problem-specific details (e.g., industry, sample size, number of independent variables, type of target variables, etc…) may help in the selection of the most appropriate methodology, which paves the way for automation of the design of a data-mining solution and ultimately leads to commercialization of data mining technology.
