Feed: The Connector by Workato. Author: Jon Gitlin; Sales reps only spend 35% of their time on selling-related activities. The rest of it is likely occupied by repetitive and unproductive tasks, like data entry, searching for information across applications, etc. You can prevent your sales team from performing these time-intensive and less fruitful activities by using sales automation.

I have steadily learned more sophisticated algorithms and how to manipulate training data to better fit the model and better represent real test cases. As problems become more sophisticated and the amount of data increases, the learning frameworks that handle distributed training become more important. Having a model to solve a task is great, but for it to be truly useful, we must deploy it where it is needed. However, this is not simple, because model deployment requires ... Read More
