Real World Data Science Strategy

Abstract

In this talk we will explore how to solve a poorly formed machine learning/data science problem in a business setting. Among other things, we will discuss:

- Defining meaningful performance metrics that correlate strongly with business goals

- Handling a lack of labeled data and properly managing label uncertainty

- Thinking about user experience and legal constraints

- Managing novel unstructured data
