SAS is trusted by clients for AI and Machine Learning applications in virtually every industry in the world. We help you understand the benefits of AI and Analytics with industry specific use cases and can partner with you in delivering the benefits of AI to your organisation.

An AI use case in the healthcare industry.

Have you ever wondered where Machine Learning can fit into the healthcare industry to make medical procedures more safe and effective? We will be exploring this with a live demo of a use case where we predict what causes a Stent Failure.

A Stent is a tiny tube that a doctor can insert into a blocked passageway to keep it open, for example to allow blood flow in a blocked up blood vessel. 

In this webinar we will be going over the application of Advanced Analytics and Machine Learning using SAS Viya, as well as exploring open source integration like R/Python to cover the full analytics life cycle. We will also be discussing other use cases of AI in the healthcare industry.

Speaker: Haidar Altaie

Haidar is a Data Scientist at SAS UKI. He joined SAS in September 2018 after graduating from University with a Mathematics and Statistics degree, and is passionate about integrating the analytical skills he’s learned across growing industries to enable customers to solve complex real life issues.

Using Machine Learning to predict Stent Failure

Artificial intelligence (AI) may be the next big opportunity, but what does it really mean for customer experience? Where does automation stop and AI begin? And how should you plan for it in your objectives?

About the webinar:

Most organisations have AI on their agenda, whether they are planning to implement it, are already implementing it or are just experimenting. When considering planning customer experience strategy, when is AI the future of customer experience and when isn’t it?

This webinar will explore common challenges when implementing AI into your customer experience strategy, including understanding what AI really is (and where it’s not just automation), and how best to plan for AI to really meet your business objectives and enhance your customer’s experience.

Why attend?

Get real life examples of where organisations are already using AI to support their customer experience strategy
Understand the challenges of processing and analysing vast quantities of data
Learn what is AI and what is really marketing automation

Speakers:

Tiffany Carpenter, Head of Customer Intelligence Solutions, SAS UK&I

Caroline Hermon, Head of Artificial Intelligence Solutions, SAS UK&I

Is AI the future of Customer Experience?

Cutting through the hype of Machine Learning and AI, we will take you through a practical application of how Machine Learning was effectively used in the insurance industry. Learn how organisations are deriving actionable insight from AI applications and the business value they deliver today. This will further clarify the role of human ML expertise in the development process, both now and in future machine learning and analytics process modernisation

Real world examples of Artificial Intelligence in Insurance

From recognizing faces to processing the live action of a football game, computer vision opens many exciting possibilities.

Find out what it takes to really capitalize on advancements in AI.

Many Data Scientists tend to get very excited about deep learning. And why not? It has strongly contributed to the further development of game-changing applications like computer vision or Neural Language Processing. 

However, before starting any computer vision endeavours, it pays to zoom in on some basics: Using a repeatable end-to-end process – to guide you through image pre-processing, deep learning and productionising your models - will help ensure your deep learning models are as accurate as possible and take your models out of the lab and drive actual business value.

What is your (Computer) Vision of AI?

About the webinar:

Human trafficking is a global epidemic. The scale, complexity and border-less nature of the abuse can stymie law enforcement, victim support programs and prevention efforts. Data from agencies and organizations focused on human trafficking is vital to these efforts.

However, the amount, variety and unstructured nature of the data can hinder timely, effective responses by organizations with notoriously limited resources.

What if we could use the power of AI to fight for the powerless?

Join SAS public sector expert and text analytics practitioner Tom Sabo as he describes an AI framework for countering international human trafficking.

Learn about:

Applying text-based machine learning and rule-based text extraction to generate training for modeling efforts

Enabling investigators, stakeholders and analysts to tap all the relevant data to inform better decisions

How to extend the AI framework as new techniques and information become available

An Artificial Intelligence Framework to Combat Human Trafficking

Making decisions where data is generated - not where it lives.

About the webinar:

Data science is only of benefit if the output can quickly be put into systems that can use them simply and confidently. This webinar will show how machine learning models can be easily deployed into batch, real time and in stream applications at a click of a button

To allow organisations to seize opportunities and spot red flags hidden in the massive torrent of fast-moving data that flows through, it is critical to analyse this high-velocity big data while it's still in motion – before it is stored – so you can take immediate action on what's relevant, and ignore what isn't.
