Artificial Intelligence Patterns
“What’s for dinner?” We’ve all heard this question... whether in our own heads or from our kids. There are patterns of problems that AI can solve – including menu planning – that are related to a lot of the patterns I hear from my business colleagues today, such as:
· What’s the optimum marketing spend per channel for our product, given the high cost of TV?
· What’s the best way to monetize our sales leads, given our geographic preferences?
· What’s an appropriate product offering, given the preferences of this customer?
· How can we find patterns in the data coming from our websites, given the enormous volume?
Let me restate the original question: “What’s for dinner… given my preferences, my budget, my food allergies, my medical conditions, my time to cook, etc.?” The operative word is “given…”
I successfully tackled this problem, working with Yao-Han Pao and Yoshiyasu Takefuji, and have used the similar algorithms to create innovations at General Electric, Verizon, Vonage and others by applying AI Patterns to problems that have:
· Non-liner constraints
· Unstructured data elements
· Distinct customer preferences
· Similar choices under consideration
· Intuition and Experience as inputs to the model
There are problems with similar characteristics that AI solves very well.
The questions frequently asked are, “where do I start?” and “How do I identify good candidate problems?”
