McKinsey explains machine learning to execs

McKinsey explains machine learning to execs

By Paul Miller on July 2, 2015

McKinsey explains machine learning to execs: Machine Learning is part of a broader conversation around Artificial Intelligence and related themes, which has recently begun to (re-)emerge from the labs and enter mainstream technology conversations. The terms are horribly abused, and mostly badly misunderstood, but there is clearly something afoot. And with good reason. These tools […]

Harvard medical professor: Big data and analytics help cure cancer

Harvard medical professor: Big data and analytics help cure cancer

By Michael Krigsman on June 1, 2015

In almost every industry, aggregating data on a large scale and running predictive analytics have the power to improve our lives.

Commoditizing Data Science

Commoditizing Data Science

By Chirag Mehta on February 15, 2013

My ongoing conversations with several people continue to reaffirm my belief that Data Science is still perceived to be a sacred discipline and data scientists are perceived to be highly skilled statisticians who walk around wearing white lab coats. The best data scientists are not the ones who know the most about data but they […]

Hubris and the Data Scientist

By Paul Miller on March 6, 2012

ReadWriteWeb‘s Joe Brockmeier captures a recurring issue from last week’s O’Reilly Strata conference, asking “Can Big Data replace domain expertise?” According to Brockmeier, the audience (of data scientists) apparently narrowly agreed that their arsenal of tools and algorithms trumped the knowledge and experience of the meteorologists, financiers, and retailers to whose domains data scientists are increasingly […]

By Paul Miller on February 1, 2011

I’m in Santa Clara this week, attending O’Reilly‘s inaugural Strata Conference. Today, I’m spending the day in the event’s Executive Summit, where I hope to hear some of the ways in which ‘normal’ businesses are approaching the opportunity of making their data work harder.
