Re:Why Trifacta is teaching humans and data to work together on Thursday October 04, 2012 @09:42AM (#4612219)
Our startup, Selera Labs, is working on a product that sounds similar in some respects. We leverage elements of enterprise search and machine learning to provide continuous monitoring style analysis over ERP transactional data.

The human interaction component is something we have been very focused on. We support human annotations (tagging and workflow) over machine generated results that allow us to tune analysis processing for false vs true positives. We've also devoted lots of effort into making the UX easy for business users to very quickly understand why a result (or exception) was generated.

Premature optimisation is the immemorial refuge of the most troubled mind.

Collective judgement of new ideas is so often wrong that it picks up confidence as it appears.

The music business is a higher revelation than philosophy.
