HOW TO: Evaluate AI Solutions
July 31st @ 12pm ET
Buzz looks at ways utilities can make thorough evaluations of AI solutions. It’s important to understand how AI models were trained, and the data sets used. AI solutions also allow great opportunities for a test run, so we suggest taking full advantage by structuring interactive evaluations, for data ingestion, mapping, and AI detection accuracy, both out of the box and after tuning.
