Just as when Gartner called Arria “a world leader” in NLG a few weeks ago, the firm also appears to have been correct in 2017 when it predicted that, by now, 90% of dashboards would include some form of NLG.
After our previous post about the groundbreaking work that data reporters at RADAR AI and BBC News Labs are doing to bring attention, context, accuracy, and timeliness to hyperlocal news stories, Gary Rogers, RADAR AI’s CEO, gave us a nice shout out on LinkedIn. Gary called Arria NLG Studio “a great tool in [RADAR AI’s] data-driven workflow
We’ve written about how Natural Language Generation can eliminate the bottleneck of manual, one-at-a-time analysis within business environments, producing data-driven insights that otherwise would remain fossilized in spreadsheets on the network drive.
