SAP HANA Cloud Machine Learning Challenge - Preventing employee churn

analytix consulting blog In December 2022 SAP held a machine learning competition called “I quit!” attended by 50 participants to showcase the machine learning capabilities of SAP HANA Cloud. The idea is to predict from a database of employees who is the most probable to be leaving his or her job in the short term, based on historical information of employees which have quit recently.

Beyond Static Image Generation: Taking Stable Diffusion to the Next Level

analytix consulting blog In my last blog post I have shown how to download the Stable Diffusion model weights and set up an image generation workflow yourself using the Stable Diffusion model as provided by the Huggingface Transformers library. Although these text-to-image generation results can be pretty awesome, you can get similar results by interfacing with the DALL-E 2 playground which is publicly accessible without being on a wait list nowadays.

Join the AI-Based Image Generation Revolution With Stable Diffusion

analytix consulting blog The AI field is advancing in an incredible pace and 2022 has been shaken up by a few major announcements of algorithms able to generate fantastic images just by providing a text prompt. Some incredible work has been done by the OpenAI team which introduced DALL-E 2 to the public in March 2022, but also by Google Research who introduced Imagen a few months later. Read More ›

Master Data Attribute Recommendation using SAP AI Core and T5 Transformers

analytix consulting blog Master data maintenance is a time-consuming activity for many businesses. Companies like retailers selling large amounts of different articles or manufacturing companies processing raw materials into finished goods can easily collect databases containing hundreds of thousands of master data items, which in turn may possess many hundreds of attributes. This blog post proposes a way of populating these attributes by applying a transformer-based Large Language Model. Read More ›

A no-code introduction to Reinforcement Learning

analytix consulting blog In my previous blog post on reinforcement learning I demonstrated a way to get a gentle introduction into this field by using Keras-RL2. While writing that I found it quite difficult to get an overview of the many reinforcement learning frameworks available today which all have different levels of maturity. In this post I will dive into how to set up a reinforcement learning experiment using stable-baselines 3 which provides you an even quicker way to get started. Read More ›
