AI-Based Approaches to Improve Business Intelligence Solutions

The goal of this project is to improve Business Intelligence solutions to stay competitive in the market. We aim to take the learning efforts off the user’s shoulder using advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques. We will develop AI technologies to help users answer questions that can be expressed in natural language and use existing data to make decisions while increasing their confidence in their results. We will investigate and develop Natural Language processing techniques to integrate within the Web-based Excel feature of Nectari’s BI software to facilitate its use for non-experts. Augmented analytics tools and approaches to allow interaction with the end-users will be developed to find insights from spreadsheets and to allow users to be involved in the solutions improvement. A methodology to detect anomalies will be developed while providing explanations. An import part of the project will be dedicated also to develop accurate forecasting and budgeting models. The project will consolidate Nectari as an international leader in the development of BI solutions, and will allow to acquire new knowledge for better training of highly qualified personnel.
