Dr. Anna Gromova, Data Scientist with Exactpro, gave an introduction to Nostradamus — the company’s latest solution and first AI project — in her talk on Machine Learning at EXTENT-2018 Meetup on 20 June 2018 in London.

Some people choose to see the ugliness in it, the disarray... We choose to see the beauty and... possibilities…"
