Data science’s commercialization over the last decade emphasized the science more than the data. Even as data scientists spent most of their time wrangling and cleaning data, it was their algorithms that gave their organizations a competitive advantage. This industry model had a significant flaw that ultimately caught up with commercial data science, though. Algorithms […]

Whew, what a quarter! With all this heat, we decided to stay indoors, crank up the AC, and work on expanding our data catalog. We’ve made some big upgrades to some of our most-used datasets and built a few new ones as well. The details are below (and we find they pair well with a […]

We are excited to announce that we are partnering with Snowflake, the Data Cloud company, to give Snowflake customers access to Explorium’s vast collection of external data via Snowflake Data Marketplace. Snowflake customers can now use Explorium to quickly enrich data models and leverage new insights for CPG, marketing, financial services and more.  Explorium’s External […]

Written by Itay Zehora for Forbes Israel   In Israel alone, despite COVID-19 and the subsequent financial crisis, some 15 companies have become new unicorns in the past year. Although the path to the top is hard and winding — the trend does not show any signs of slowing down. The next Israeli Unicorns Almost […]

Article by Patrick Nelson for siliconANGLE   The key to successful artificial intelligence-based advanced analytical training is augmenting internal data with external, according to data science platform startup Explorium Inc. The process is not easy, though. Problems include getting a hold of and managing that mass of external material. “The key to any analytical problem is […]

Today, we are proud to share some exciting news.  Explorium’s  external data platform that automatically discovers thousands of relevant data signals and uses them to improve analytics and machine learning, has been included in the list of Cool Vendors in AI Core Technologies by Gartner. The report states, “Obtaining quality training data for AI tasks […]

Three years ago, we looked at the entire analytics technology landscape, and we took a bet.  Over the last decade, we have witnessed analytical tools and capabilities becoming commoditized, open source booming, and compute power becoming cheaper.  Looking at the trends and believing that the momentum of adoption of analytical tools and processes will only […]

When it comes to virtual events, two things are universally true. One, we’ve seen it all this year: the awkward, the intimate and everything in between. Two, we’re all various stages of Zoom fatigue, but the invitations just keep coming. You can’t commit to everything that gets thrown your way. So, how do you prioritize?  […]

Whatever your business challenge, you’ll need data you can rely on to solve it.  It’s highly unlikely that the data you have in-house offers the scope or relevance you need. That it’s fresh enough to tell you what’s happening right now – rather than last week, month or year.  Increasingly, you need external data to […]

Few types of regulation have ever proved to be as far-reaching or game-changing as GDPR. Pretty much any organization in the world with an online presence is subject to the regulations – and if you break them, you’re in serious, expensive trouble.    At the same time, collection and use of data continues to increase. […]

Any data-driven organization worth their salt today knows that it’s not just how much data you find but how relevant it is. Ten years ago, having more was a sign of how much you could analyze. But today, volume is no longer a differentiating factor — after all, if everyone has it, no one does. […]

2020 is almost over, and we’re already fully looking forward to 2021. Even so, we can’t help but take one last look at the year that was. At the Explorium blog, we covered quite a bit of ground, exploring some interesting areas of data science, diving into machine learning (ML) for business, and even throwing […]

Never in history have so many government bodies around the world had so much scope, opportunity, and — most importantly — public support to harvest intricate, personal data on their citizens. The global COVID-19 pandemic has seen emergency surveillance measures that would make Orwell gasp, introduced with little resistance even in the most privacy-conscious nations. […]

For all the hype and press it has received in the past few years, data science is still a field very much in flux. Although it’s not a new sector, the sheer amount of innovation and expansion it has seen means that knowledge you had about data science three years ago (and even last year) […]
