This session is one of WarU’s “How to Improve Cost Estimation” series: Machine Learning: Applying AI Tactics to Your Cost Estimate, featuring Dr. Zachary Matheson from the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA). In this engaging webinar, Dr. Matheson and Mr. Basude shared how NNSA is using machine learning to modernize cost estimation practices and strengthen decision-making. Participants will gain insight into how a hierarchical classification machine learning model was used to trace cost growth across disparate Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) elements, as well as the challenges, lessons learned, and practical considerations involved in adopting these emerging tools. Don’t miss this opportunity to explore how AI/ML tactics can improve agility, enhance estimator effectiveness, and shape the future of cost estimating. Participants are eligible to earn up to 1.5 CLPs.
