Altair RapidMiner Demonstration

Businesses across all sectors are facing significant challenges when it comes to modernizing their data analytics stack.

Terms like 'data transformation' and 'infrastructure optimization' are always used, but what does that mean? How do the people on the ground, like you, even begin to address how to approach the vast and nuanced projects related to modernization?

The most pressing question we hear from our customers is: How can we maintain investments made in legacy systems, like those created using SAS, and leverage modern platforms that offer new benefits and address issues like staff skills, open-source deployments, flexibility, and transition to the Cloud?

In this 30-minute webinar, our experts will discuss:

How to identify factors that impact reliability when looking at sizeable enterprise-wide modernization projects
Real-life successful deployments and why our phased approach works for large organizations
How you can leverage new Generative AI technologies safely and effectively
How our technologies can help you build your unique competitive advantage without having to throw away investments made in legacy structures and systems
How to accelerate your journey to the cloud

Clear Path to Modernization: Future-Proofing Your Data Analytics Infrastructure

Changing the Pace of Manufacturing Transformation through Generative AI & LLM

This video demonstrates how the Altair team utilized our solutions to identify characteristics that lead to a higher risk of flood and ways to help mitigate the displacement and loss of life due to these events.

We’ll show how we used the Altair RapidMiner platform to:

Get to insights faster by enabling domain and data experts to collaborate seamlessly
Leverage existing SAS language and Python code in a multi-language environment
Deliver flood risk warnings, ahead of time, to the right stakeholders with a real-time dashboard

Data preparation for income and expense shock

Visualize and validate credit risk models

Visualize and validate credit risk models : Episode 3

We understand safeguarding your portfolio from current economic shocks is your top priority. That means you require a throughout data-driven approach for credit-risk assessment. Then your credit-decision model should be the reflection of the same and needs to be continually fined tuned. Altair with Deep Credit Risk brings Credit Risk Trends and Analytics, a three-part webinar series on credit risk analytics with a focus on the pain points of developing models that reflect the driving economics.

In part one webinar, we understood the challenges in the credit risk industry. Build an understanding of the role of liquidity, equity, and many other key banking features. You learned to do feature engineering and efficient selection, for instance, the impact of income and expense shocks on loan repayments. You were able to pre-process credit information, import information, and merge data from various sources.

Now, with the right data, in this part-two webinar, you will learn to build credit risk models through machine learning techniques and understand the impact of the economic downturn on the model outcome. You will develop a good understanding of the pitfalls of machine learning and the merits relative to econometric regression techniques. You will be able to predict defaults, payoffs, loss rates, and exposures. You will be able to efficiently validate credit risk models. We will compare and interpret various validation strategies and learn how to build meaningful user interfaces, compare outputs for models in terms of stability, discrimination, and calibration and efficiently communicate outputs. This will give you the confidence to build credit models accurately as we cover deep domain knowledge on-

Key Discussion Points:
§ Non-Linearities of risk drivers
§ Impact on Illiquidity and Leverage
§ Machine Learning Models
§ Bias-Variance trade-off
§ Predictability and pain-points
§ Showcase of lender internal data
