On ML and Elastic Principle Graphs
Happy 2018 all. It has been a while since my last post. Thank you for your patience dear reader. Like usual, the perpetual resolutions for every year in addition to blogging more are to eat well, often exercise and climb Ventoux . Onward. I genuinely believe that 2018 will be the year of the ubiquity of Geo-AI. It will be the year when Machine Learning and Spatial Awareness will blossom inside and mostly outside the GIS community. We at Esri have had Machine Learning based tools in our "shed" for a long time. Every time an ArcGIS user performs a graphically weighted regression , trains a random trees classifier or detects an emerging hot spot , that user is using a form of Machine Learning without knowing it! So one of my "missions" for 2018, it to make this knowledge more explicit to our users and non-traditional GIS users. Also, start to implement new forms of Machine Learning. Machine Learning (ML), a branch of Artificial Intelligence (AI), is a disruptive force...
