predictive analytics in the cloud - the art of the possible
DESCRIPTION
This is the presentation I did last week at the USGIF Technology Day event. The presentation was in the Ignite format and talked about how to model human behavior like hurricanes and weather patterns to help build and calibrate a predictive model of where events will happen and what other impacts they will have on neighboring geographies.TRANSCRIPT

how can we anticipate (predict) this with greater confidence, precision & accuracy at
any scale for any geography over time?

what does it mean to shift from reactive to predictive?
