    IBM Watson Machine Learning is an AI-based scalable self-learning model for any type of business. It can be used to help any company automate repetitive tasks, predict future trends, and make data-driven decisions. I used it to predict stock prices based on certain variables. It works well, cost me nothing, and gives me the ability to create my own AI-based models that I can use for any purpose.

    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

    • 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.

    • Not localization friendly, cannot support regional or local language documents.

    • 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.

    IBM had a hard time providing business level support. There were a lot of data scientists and technology experts but rarely a simple business person shows up. Also the way IBM operates IBM Consulting has competing priorities as compared to IBM Technology. This has resulted in a lot of confusion at the client's end.

    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.

    We have been using Microsoft Azure as a machine learning tool. But the challenges remain the same. These are all tools that you need a robust analysis before a decision on the tool. Unfortunately, the technology company cannot make that determination due to lack of core business understanding. Without that the project is doomed.

    • 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.
