🇫🇷From Bayesian Networks to Cognitive Science
Emmanuel Keita
Presented at the 7th Annual BayesiaLab Conference at the North Carolina Biotechnology Center.
Abstract
At the heart of the companies' information systems, close to decision-makers and operational staff, my professional experiences led me to observe that Business Intelligence (BI) did not provide a satisfactory answer to their real problems. What had changed in 20 years? Rainbow colors on the screens, OLAP cubes democratization, calculation speed… exciting — and also a nightmare — for those in the IT department. But what is the real added value for the decision-makers and the workers? Curious about the potential of AI, I had just been trained in Python, but as a statistician, I saw nothing intellectually satisfying in my discovery of machine learning. Then, a guy talked to me about "Bayesian networks."
That will be the starting point for this talk. An escapade into "augmented intelligence": Bayesian networks and BayesiaLab, encounters, change of relationship to the data, to beliefs, to the world, and to myself… But, who am I, really?
