Building Data Science Capacity at Your New Job as an Enterprise Data Scientist
Presentation Synopsis: So you got a job as a data scientist at a large organization. But most data scientists work solo, and many organizations are just beginning their AI journey. So how do you build data science capacity? We all know how this ends up- you were hired to build data science capacity in your department, but you are not given well defined business use cases to solve, so you end up building AI prototypes in search of a business problem. And being one of the few data scientists in your whole organization, they assume you can just utilize their antiquated analytics stack, and you find out quickly your prototypes don’t leave your desktop, as there is no way to deploy your ML models at scale. |
