Topic

From Analytics to Insights: Addressing the Translation Gap

Abstract

The proliferation of open-source technology, advanced analytics, and artificial intelligence tools has given way to a surge in scalable "big data" solutions. However, automated analyses performed by new and seasoned data scientists often yield results without insights. This presentation reveals some of the reasons this often occurs, along with three examples of overcoming this translation gap from different industries (healthcare, financial services, and higher education).
