The 5th International Conference on Modern Management based on Big Data (MMBD2024)

Abstract: We focus on applied research which helps companies develop innovative products. Digitalisation is one of the main innovation drivers and leads to novel solutions which benefit from artificial intelligence, natural language processing, advanced databases and other technologies. Industry wants to innovate and approaches academics to provide technical expertise allowing them to go beyond the state of the art in computing. This talk will discuss three collaborative industrial developments which took advantage of recent developments based on machine learning technologies. The work covers the following business areas: gig platforms, insurance, and business information systems, also known as ERP. To round off, we present a fun development: an SQL learning game which is very popular with our students who take database courses at the FHNW.
