Have you ever opened a dashboard and felt lost, unsure of where to look first? Or needed a quick piece of information, only to find it buried among too many charts and filters that did not work well together? That is exactly what UX, or User Experience, is about. When we talk about dashboards, UX is not just about making them look more attractive. It is about efficiency, clarity, and supporting better decision-making. UX means ensuring that the people using a dashboard can fi

ABSTRACT Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) has become a dominant approach for question answering over large collections of unstructured documents. The UDA (Unstructured Document Analysis) benchmark provides a rigorous suite for evaluating RAG systems on real world long documents. This paper presents a large scale, faithfulness oriented evaluation of Qlik Answers on a UDA subset composed of unstructured PDF reports. A corpus of 136 documents (19,959 pages) and 11,842 questi

Author: Igor Alcantara The rapid growth of AutoML platforms has enabled business users and data scientists to accelerate machine learning workflows, particularly for tabular prediction tasks. This research paper presents a benchmark comparison of Qlik Predict and DataRobot, two leading AutoML systems, across three fundamental machine learning problems: regression, binary classification, and multiclass classification. Using large, real-world datasets; including the YouTube Sho

Author: Igor Alcantara I just published a comprehensive white paper that tackles one of the most expensive problems in business today: analytics projects that nobody uses. The Real Problem Hiding in Plain Sight Most organizations think their analytics initiatives fail because of technical issues: bad data, wrong platform, poor visualizations. But that's not what kills projects. The real culprit? Poor adoption. Up to 87% of data science projects never reach production, and 60-

In this study, we evaluated the accuracy of two-sample Student’s t-tests using Qlik analytics compared to the gold standard R language . Utilizing data from the Framingham Heart Study , we performed multiple t-tests in both Qlik and R across different scenarios, including variations in sample sizes and p-values. Our findings revealed that Qlik analytics closely match the statistical results of R, making it a reliable tool for performing t-tests. Authors: Igor Alcantara , Ala

Author: Igor Alcantara It's Friday , so let's have some fun and once again push the boundaries of AI. While waiting for a Qlik Answers knowledge base to index a few documents, I decided to test ChatGPT's ability to separate signal from noise and recognize patterns . I thought Waldo (or Wally in the UK, Brazil, and many other countries), the famous character from the puzzle book series created by British illustrator Martin Handford in 1987, would be a great challenge. I also

Hello, Data Explorers! 🚀 Today, we're exploring a promising study that might just change how AI systems are built. Researchers have developed a way to operate AI language models efficiently without using matrix multiplication—a core component in traditional AI processing. What does this mean for AI? How can eliminating matrix multiplication reduce costs and environmental impacts? What are the implications for future AI technology? Join us as we delve into these questions, br
