A Practical Guide To Machine Learning

We recently teamed with TSIA for a recorded Q&A about machine learning and AI as it relates to its use in support organizations and their particular needs.

The idea for this webcast came from our time at a recent TSW show. We spent a lot of time at the conference talking to people about these technologies.
