Tracks: Full Schedule, Monday Schedule

Following last year’s tutorial on Machines Crave Big Data that outlined Big Data, Machine Learning, and Artificial Intelligence, we continue the journey with a tutorial on developing and hosting analytics in the cloud.  Cloud technology is rapidly changing the way the organizations design and operationalize their artificial intelligence projects and the DoD has begun small scale adoption with a massive enterprise cloud environment in the next year.  These movements and changes will help revolutionize training, simulation, and education.  In this tutorial, we will cover: options on hosting your analytic environments to include on-premise, public cloud, and private cloud; discuss advantages to adopting and operationalizing a cloud environment for your analytic needs; provide an overview of cloud architectures to support the whole life-cycle of analytics from the storage of data to abstraction layer for your analyst workforce; discuss open-source and cloud vendor analytics tool that can be deployed to help meet artificial needs around computer vision, natural language processing, and machine learning; provide real-life examples from the U.S. Army’s Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) G-2 experiences with implementing cloud-based analytic solutions; and last but not least, we will provide an industry overview on future trends for the use of cloud technologies to enhance training, simulation and education.
