Challenges addressed by No Code AI platforms

An AI model building is challenging on three fundamental counts:

1. Availability of relevant data in good quantity and quality: The less I rant about it, the better.

 Natural Language Processing Defeats User Trepidation About Augmented Analytics

Your business users probably fight you on improving data literacy and on implementing digital transformation. Many business users have a fear of analytics and envision having to become a business analyst or a data scientist in order to…

Did you ever wonder what’s a typical day of a data scientist like? A data scientist needs to explore data given to us and provide actionable insights, but how do we do that and is that all we do? Do we just sit in-front of a computer and code all day? Do we spend most of our day reading papers? Or is it something completely different? Let me walk you…

The successful implementation of an augmented analytics solution for business users is not just about choosing a cost-effective tool and completing a timely deployment, nor does the process stop with training. In order to get business users to embrace and adopt self-serve augmented data discovery tools, the enterprise must approach the implementation with appropriate change management processes.

Finding out the difference between data scientists, data engineers, software engineers, and statisticians can be confusing and complicated. While all of them are linked to data in a way, there is an underlying difference between the work they do and manage. 

The growth of data  and its usage across…

A data scientist needs to be Critical and always on a lookout for something that misses others. So here is some advice that one can include in the day to day data science work to be better at their work:

1. Beware of the Clean Data Syndrome

You need to ask yourself questions even before you start working on the data. **Does this data make sense?** Falsely assuming that the data is clean could lead you towards wrong Hypotheses. Apart from that, you can discern a…

In my experience, some of the most talented analytics professionals I’ve managed were ones that had intimate knowledge of the system limitations required to meet customer needs. These individuals came from a variety of roles, some from engineering, and others from customer service roles. Their strength was in forming specific hypotheses to pinpoint customer experience issues and then leveraging their curiosity to do whatever it took, including learning new statistical techniques and…

Data Visualization happens to be an uncomplicated way of assisting the human memory and enhancing decision making. A number of tools are there that are going to cater to the requirements of having a look at humongous statistics to the tune of Peta and Zeta bytes. Number crunching when the amount of data is huge is an incredibly testing job and this is software that is going to be your buddy in addressing testing business dilemmas.…

Data scientists are big data wranglers. They take an enormous mass of messy data points (unstructured and structured) and use their formidable skills in math, statistics and programming to clean, massage and organize them. Then they apply all their analytic powers – industry knowledge, contextual understanding, skepticism of existing assumptions – to uncover hidden solutions to business challenges.

On any given day, a data scientist may be required to:

• Conduct…

In today’s tutorial I am going to teach on how to do basic data manipulation on a sample dataset. I will cater the data from US Census.  US Census is one of the richest data source on internet. You can get great insights from American Community Survey about United States of America.

So let’s get started.

There are lots of undergraduates are eager to do an internship in the data scientist post in a top companies. But unfortunately, they won't provide "Data science interns" rather they will provide an offer in "Software Engineer interns". If the student is enthusiastic in machine learning and statistical abilities, the company will consider that candidate for a "data analyst" post. The top companies which offers the minimum number of data scientist intern post.

8000+ jobs in 2016 and…

What are we trying to predict? Where is the data? How are we measuring if we are getting it right? Which departments are a part of this Data Science project? Who is my internal customer? When does this have to be completed? How clean is the data?

Data Science projects seem to go through a natural set of phases which model the inquisitive spirit of Data…

DJ Patil is arguably the most well-known data scientist in the world. He’s the Chief Data Scientist for the White House, he built the first data science team at LinkedIn, and along with Jeff Hammerbacher, is credited by Forbes as coining the term data scientist.

So, How does Patil's journey compare to those of the…
