15 сентября 2011 г.

15 сентября 2011 года прошла презентация члена совета директоров компании "Викимарт" DJ Patil.

Given the importance of data to critical decision making, the demand for Data Scientists is at an all time high. Yet, what does it really mean to be a Data Scientist and to build a team of Data Scientists? It's a new world with startups to well established organizations struggling daily to recruit and structure their teams to best leverage those that can extract valuable insights from data. At the same time, it's well known that the ability to leverage data has reached a new level of critical importance in organizations to improve decision making. Now, with commodity technologies, it is possible to cheaply create data products that can have a massive impact on the business (e.g., People You May Know or Who's Viewed My Profile on LinkedIn). In this talk I'll walk through the product philosophy I've found works best to rapidly test and deploy data products. I'll also address the critical gotchas in developing highly engaging user facing data products.
