Over 40 years, this work has worn many labels. What has historically been called expert systems, decision support, and operations research is today often simply called Artificial Intelligence (AI). During this time, the core techniques have vastly expanded – from bases in statistics, simulation, and mathematical optimization, to include machine learning and new classes of hybrid algorithms. These advances have been multiplied by the exponential improvements in supporting hardware. We have found consistent and repeatable factors that govern whether a given analytics project will make it into successful production. These factors also apply to the latest AI projects. We have codified these learnings into the “Princeton 20” – a list of 10 environmental and 10 technical risk factors that will help you anticipate issues and increase the likelihood of a successful transition from promising research to production deployment and wide usage. Join Princeton Consultants Founder and CEO Steve Sashihara for a webinar that is ideal for practitioners and team leaders who deploy solutions into production. In this webinar, you’ll learn: 1. 10 business risk factors and 10 technical risk factors to monitor in AI projects. 2. How to score project risk factors. 3. Tips and techniques to overcome obstacles and deploy solutions. #### Speaker Steve Sashihara, Founder and CEO Princeton Consultants --- [![JMP-logo-color](https://info.informs.org/hs-fs/hubfs/JMP-logo-color.jpg?width=225&height=151&name=JMP-logo-color.jpg "JMP-logo-color")](https://www.jmp.com/en_us/home.html) ### The Predictive Modeling Workflow ##### October 8, 2020 3pm EDT The webinar will move through the full life cycle of a predictive analytics project. Steps shown includes data cleaning and preparation, initial exploration and analyses, model fitting, evaluating and comparing model performance, final model selection, and deployment into a production environment. Modeling techniques shown will include Multiple Linear Regression, Regression trees, Neural Nets, and K-Nearest Neighbors. In this webinar you’ll learn: 1. Best practices in how to approach a predictive modeling effort. 2. Some of the common mistakes analyst make in a predictive modeling effort. 3.
