Kentico launches Kentico Xperience 13 Refresh 1

March 17, 2021 /

Kentico announced an update to their digital experience platform (DXP). When ASP.NET Core MVC became the cornerstone of Kentico Xperience 13, it came with major challenges. To prevent any breaking changes and lengthy adjustment periods in the future, they have remodeled release cycles. Refresh 1 is focused on expanding existing functionalities, to provide future technology for the developers, while benefiting both marketers and content creators.

  • With the integration of AI services provider, Recombee, as customers visit individual pages, their behavior will be evaluated, resulting in automatic suggestions of the most relevant content to be displayed for them in appropriate areas.
  • The integration with the Bynder Digital Asset Management system provides the option of working with media in structured content. Users can now select their images directly from Bynder DAM as an alternative to using Media Library or a direct upload.
  • When searching in Kentico Xperience, the new search index enables searching for all kinds of content using just one index. Both structured and non-structured content are included, which makes working with Azure easier for developers.
  • When developing a website, with .NET Core Debug developers can now check what is going on in the live site, what has possibly gone wrong, or what type of data is being sent there, and fix it more effectively.

DataRobot 7.0 enhances enterprise AI platform

March 16, 2021 /

DataRobot unveiled upgrades to every product in its enterprise AI platform to optimize the value seen through AI deployments and enable better business outcomes with AI. Enhancements include:

  • MLOps remote model challengers, which allow organizations to challenge any production model – no matter where it is running and regardless of the framework or language in which it was built. By analyzing how challenger models perform versus the current champion model on the exact same production data, companies can easily determine which model is best for them now or at any point in history.
  • Choose your own forecast baseline, which lets companies compare the output of their forecasting models with predictions from DataRobot’s Automated Time Series product.
  • Visual AI image augmentation, available through DataRobot AutoML, which creates new training images from a company’s dataset by intelligently replicating and transforming the original images. Organizations can improve the accuracy of their image models while reducing the need to manually capture and label new images.
  • Enhanced prediction preparation. DataRobot’s visual data prep capabilities allow organizations to prepare their data for model training. Customers can use visual data prep to more easily score new data from models already deployed. DataRobot’s Data Prep tools work within platform, enabling companies to secure scored data and prediction explanations from any deployed model for transparency and trusted AI.
