How Data Latency Kills Creativity (and What You Can Do About It)
Abstract
Creativity probably isn’t the first thing that comes to mind when you think about data science. However, the best data science is about creating something totally new with data, learning something that no one else knew before. If you’re not creating, you’re not maximizing the value of your data, and you’re not realizing the value of data science as a discipline everyone should be investing in. The biggest barrier to creativity in data science is data latency, a problem which has only gotten worse since the advent of Big Data. In this talk, I will prove why data latency is so harmful to data professionals, and then provide you with 6 ways you can reduce data latency in your own work.
