Application of data goes beyond the corporate world. Innovation mixed with machine learning techniques can potentially save lives!

“Cleary’s team aimed to develop more robust forecasting techniques based on the data gathered by heat sensors – which are often installed alongside smoke alarms in modern US homes. While these devices tend to fail above 150 °C, the team believes that prior to failure, data from the sensors can be used to measure temperature trends in rooms and track the distribution of heat throughout a building. From this information, machine learning algorithms could predict when and where flashovers will occur.”
