AI AND DEEP LEARNING HELP SOLVE THE BIG DATA PUZZLE FOR REAL ESTATE

of AI, especially supervised learning and machine learning, the amount of processes that can be automated has risen exponentially.

The primary findings of this survey was that 97 percent of C-level executives report that their companies are investing in building and launching big data and AI initiatives. From this survey there was a growing consensus that AI and big data are becoming closely intertwined, if not synonymous.

As a result of the recent rise of AI, especially supervised learning and machine learning, the amount of processes that can be automated has risen exponentially.”

Data points need to be connected, like puzzle pieces

that lead back to the larger picture. Improvement comes in the form of refinement. Using multiple data points and tying them together to target the right buyers is a matter of knowing who they are, when they want to buy and how you can reach them. It sounds simple, but the sheer volume of data requires something more than basic integration and human interaction.
