What is all the fuzz about
AI Taxonomy
Is part of a broader family of machine learning methods based on artificial neural networks. It has been applied to fields including image and speech recognition, natural language processing, audio recognition, machine translation, bioinformatics, drug design, medical image analysis, material inspection and board game programs.
The scientific study of algorithms and statistical models that computer systems use to perform a specific task without using explicit instructions, relying on patterns and inference instead. It is seen as a subset of artificial intelligence
Deep learningMachine learning (ML) Artificial Intelligence (AI)
The study of "intelligent agents": any device that perceives its environment and takes actions that maximize its chance of successfully achieving its goals. Mimic human intelligence.

So is it as easy as just use Machine Learning?

M4 shows that magic does not always happen
- The pure ML forecasting methods – No use of statistical timeseries models and methods – in the M4 definitely
performed below expectations.
- All pure ML methods submitted were less accurate than the benchmark, and only one was more accurate than
the Naïve. This contradicts other ML studies that have been published but are not reproduced.

Real life example
• Company in the process industry having many different combinations
• Two data sets of around 2000 items• Many tail-end items with erratic
demand, a few high – runners making forecasting well difficult

Machine Learning is not easy
Decide on the input data
What is relevant?
Process the data and tune
How to set parameters?Which features?
Measure the outcomes
Why is this the outcome?

The setup outperformed timeseries
20
Case 1: 881 SKU – customer combinations
Absolute error went down 19%
Case 2: 1,740 SKU – customer combinations
Absolute error went down 3%

Machine Learning: A piece of cake?
• Machine Learning can go the extra mile in sales forecasting, but will not solve all forecasting problems. Traditional statistical methods (if tuned well) are already very well suited for this job
• It takes expertise and effort to tune machine learning models
• The real power of Machine Learning is unlocked once you add data like future orders, batch sizes or market information
