The Role of Visual Modeling in Centaur Applications

Join us April 24, 2024 at 9 a.m. PDT for this live webinar

Achieving synergy between human and machine interaction

Join us for an insightful live Webinar with panel expert Joshua Feingold, CTO at Occam Systems, as he discusses the role of visual modeling in “centaur” applications.

“Centaur Chess” is a form of the game in which humans use computers to explore different options during play, elevating the capabilities of both human and machine. In this enlightening discussion, we will discuss "Centaur" applications that enhance outcomes beyond what either humans or machines could achieve independently. This webinar will explore the challenges, trade-offs, and opportunities in visual modeling to be intuitively comprehensible to humans while being precisely interpretable by computers.

What to expect

During this live webinar, we will discuss: 

  • What are centaur applications and the challenges and considerations when designing such an application.

  • What is the role of visual modeling and how to achieve productive synergy between humans and machines.

  • How to prioritize human versus computer interactions, exploring when to harness the raw computational power of machines and when to leverage the nuanced understanding and flexibility of human intelligence.

  • When to use text and keyboard interfaces versus mouse and diagram interactions, uncovering how these choices impact the effectiveness of applications in real-world scenarios.

  • Gain a deeper understanding of how visual modeling can act as a bridge between human intuition and machine precision, unlocking new possibilities in the development of applications.
