The Momentum Behind Semantic Reasoning and Why It’s Here to Stay | Panel Discussion

What does reasoning have to offer? How does it add so much value to data? Who is using it and why should I care?

All questions that we’re delighted to answer.

Access to data has exploded over the last decade, but it leaves us asking what to make of it all? Often lacking quality, reasoning is required to enrich data by adding context and insights, serving up knowledge, not just numbers.

This expert panel will explore the who, what, why, and how of reasoning: Its foundations, its advancements over the years, and its bright future.

Google, Amazon and Facebook are just a few of the giants implementing reasoning today to great effect. With that said, this is not a tool exclusive to the Fortune 500—intelligence is buried in data everywhere, a valuable asset at any scale.
