My view on Oracle’s position in Gartner Magic Quadrants for Analytics and Business Intelligence Platforms

OCI Vision and Oracle Analytics: Just like a Box of Chocolates

OCI Vision is a self-service AI Service, which applies computer vision to analyze image-based content. It allows developers easily integrate pre-trained models into their applications with APIs or custom training models to meet their specific use cases. In our example, I will explore how to use OCI Vision service to create a custom-built model to detect pneumonia infected lungs on a fresh dataset of X-ray images. In this example, I am using rather large dataset of X-ray images found on Kaggle.com. Oracle Analytics is then used as a front-end tool to use the model to classify new images for pneumonia.

What to expect to see in this presentation? In the first place, we will demonstrate and explore the whole process from “plain” X-ray image to identifying pneumonia infected lungs using OCI services:

Gathering and storing images to OCI Object Storage. Labeling images depending on whether they represent normal or pneumonia infected lungs using Data Labeling service. Building and training an image classification model using OCI Vision. Registering an OCI Vision model with Oracle Analytics. Applying a model in Oracle Analytics’ Data Flows. Visualizing everything at the end by using Oracle Analytics Data Visualization. Why is this relevant?

Firstly, it shows the flexibility and usability of the OCI ecosystem, specifically Data Lakehouse services. Secondly, the whole process (with exception of data labeling which is done programmatically) is codeless, with not too many steps in the process, and the process itself is really very simple to use. This implies possibilities which can be explored by much wider range of users comparing to the situation today, where all depends on skilled developers and data scientists. And the bottom line, this can have very positive impact on business.
