Kortical is an end to end AI as a Service (AIaaS) platform designed to accelerate the creation, iteration, explanation and deployment of world-class machine learning models. The vendor describes the key benefits of Kortical is AutoML that writes custom machine learning solutions from the ground up in code. Getting hands-on with the code is optional but being able to edit code it makes it easy to get the best of data scientists and AutoML, while also getting the benefits of full…N/A

DataRobot
DataRobot can be used for risk assessment, such as predicting the likelihood of loan default. It can handle both classification and regression tasks effectively. It relies on historical data for model training. If you have limited historical data or the data quality is poor, it may not be the best choice as it requires a sufficient amount of high-quality data for accurate model building.

Kortical is really widely applicable to many use cases, although it doesn't handle images or video it is great to help you build really great ML models without needing to plan ahead what you are going to try, you let the platform build you the best model. It is suited to beginner and more advanced data scientists as you can edit the code to narrow the search space which makes model creation more you build it without AutoML. Hosting the model behind an API that is ready to go is great as it saves so much time vs doing that dev work from scratch

Pros
DataRobot
  • DataRobot helps, with algorithms, to analyze and decipher numerous machine-learning techniques in order to provide models to assist in company-wide decision making.
  • Our DataRobot program puts on an "even playing field" the strength of auto-machine learning and allows us to make decisions in an extremely timely manner. The speed is consistent without being offset by errors or false-negatives.
  • It encompasses many desired techniques that help companies in general, to reconfigure in to artificial intelligence driven firms, with little to no inconvenience.

  • The NLP models results were much better than the ones that we did outside of the platform.
  • It is really easy and quick to build a good model with a lot of the manual boring tasks all done automatically like one hot encoding, etc.
  • Kortical shows the features and their importance for any model type as part of the platform which is great for understanding the models.

Cons
DataRobot
  • The platform itself is very complicated. It probably can't function well without being complicated, but there is a big training curve to get over before you can effectively use it. Even I'm not sure if I'm effectively using it now.
  • The suggested model DataRobot deploys often not the best model for our purposes. We've had to do a lot of testing to make sure what model is the best. For regressive models, DataRobot does give you a MASE score but, for some reason, often doesn't suggest the best MASE score model.
  • The software will give you errors if output files are not entered correctly but will not exactly tell you how to fix them. Perhaps that is complicated, but being able to download a template with your data for an output file in the correct format would be nice.

  • It would be ideal to have Jupyter built into the platform, they say it is coming.
  • Also while it is easy to use, at the start it would have been helpful to have more help guides.

DataRobot
DataRobot presents a machine-learning platform designed by data scientists from an array of backgrounds, to construct and develop precise predictive modeling in a fraction of the time previously taken. The tech invloved addresses the critical shortage of data scientists by changing the speed and economics of predictive analytics. DataRobot utilizes parallel processing to evaluate models in R, Python, Spark MLlib, H2O and other open source databases. It searches for possible permutations and algorithms, features, transformation, processes, steps and tuning to yield the best models for the dataset and predictive goal.

Support Rating
DataRobot
As I am writing this report I am participating with Datarobot Engineers in an complex environment and we have their whole support. We are in Mexico and is not common to have this commitment from companies without expensive contract services. Installing is on premise and the client does not want us to take control and they, the client, is also limited because of internal IT regulations ,,, soo we are just doing magic and everybody is committed.

Their support is great as we use Slack and we have our own channel and they always respond really quickly. Data Science support is available to help unblock you as well as dev support as we're setting up the data feeds. It would be great if there were more FAQ or self-help guides in the platform but the personal touch is also really appreciated and probably gets us there quicker anyway.

I've done machine learning through python before, however having to code and test each model individually was very time consuming and required a lot of expertise. The data Robot approach, is an excellent way of getting to a well placed starting point. You can then pick up the model from there and fine tune further if you need.

Return on Investment
DataRobot
  • We have been able to cut costs by not buying leads that we will not be able to sell on
  • We have been able to deploy loan eligibility reporting which brought in new business
  • We have been able to improve the performance of our credit providers and our partners which has helped to retain business

  • ROI is great as what we would spend on compute we get the AutoML for essentially the same price so it is cost neutral as Kortical comes with compute built-in.
  • The results mean that we can automate so much more than our previous model so that is key to the positive ROI.
  • The platform auto trains new models and lets us know when there is a better model so it has saved a lot of time so we can focus on new business problems to solve with ML.

Screenshot of Lab Screen is the main screen where you upload your data, select the target column and then hit start training for the AutoML to turn your data into machine learning data,  automatically build features and then generate the code on the screen (which you can edit if you wish) and leave it to train to find you the best model based on your data.Screenshot of The graphs show you how many iterations Kortical has gone through to find you the best model.Screenshot of You can explore any model in more detail.Screenshot of You get high level explanations for each modelScreenshot of Also row by row explanations - here is a passenger that is highly likely to survive the titanic, due to being female, first class cabinet and high fare but her age at 35 was counting against her surviving a little and you can get these for every row and future prediction.
