About Advanced Anаlytics Certification Training

Gartner, a top-notch technology research firm, defines advanced anаlytics as to the process of examination of huge volumes of dаtа using sophisticated techniques & tools with or without human intervention, to discover deeper insights!

It is quite unlikely to be able to perform these tasks using traditional approaches for drawing deeper insights on the humongous, find pattern recognition from the complex, hidden dаtа

In dealing with ‘Big Dаtа Anаlytics’ where raw dаtа is largely unlabelled and uncategorized, we must have tools and dаtа visualization technologies along with advanced anаlytical skills & expertise in deep learning to be able to solve problems and find new opportunities.

Organizations are collecting enormous amounts of domain-specific dаtа from various sources of live-feed.

Crunching dаtа of this magnitude needs special skills & anаlytical capabilities.

Using Advanced Anаlytics and Deep Learning techniques one can solve a lot of complex problems that are otherwise not possible. A few such examples are:

Research in areas where human lives are at high risk can be avoided with the application of Deep Learning concepts
Reducing manual intervention in some core areas would result in improved productivity is quality
Fraud detection can be done using Deep Learning, helping many organizations take appropriate strategic decisions in the least amount of time
Using Neural Networks, customer recommendations are efficiently carried out
Image processing and tagging, Voice recognition system, search engines, customer recommendations, customer relationship management, are all areas which can be improved using advanced anаlytical techniques
Live-feeds is being dynamically read and understood by deep learning concepts

Industries are on a lookout for resources with Advanced anаlytics skills who have hands-on experience working with Deep Learning algorithms. There is a huge concern about the lack of skilled resources with Advanced anаlytics and Deep Learning skill-set.

According to the report published by Zion Market Research, the estimated growth for advanced anаlytics in the global market would be around 50% by 2021. This is a huge increase in market value since 2015 when the market value was around USD 10.70 billion.
