One of the essential problems involved in managing large datasets is ensuring they’re complete. Many use cases, including materials databases, can use machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to accurately identify and fill gaps with data extrapolated from other data in the set. The datasets might contain time series data which, for example, may track the movement of components through a supply chain and/or static data like a parts inventory or test results. Altair’s data science tools are well suited to this task.
