Human-Machine Collaborative Analytics

The use of AI is clearly a critical part of analysing data at the scale that today’s IT systems allow, but sadly the human user in the system is often an afterthought. This talk will touch on the challenge, opportunity and progress made so far to create more human-centric AI systems for data analysis, involving visual interfaces for presenting machine learning results, and to help analysts better explore and generate insight from data.
