Occam's Razor

MARCH 19, 2018

I worry about data’s last-mile gap a lot. As a lover of data-influenced decision making, perhaps you worry as well. A lot of hard work has gone into collecting the requirements and implementation. An additional massive investment was made in the effort to perform ninja like analysis. The end result was a collection trends and insights. The last-mile gap is the distance between your trends and getting an influential company leader to take action.

Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a new buzz word for 2018: Operationalization ! I attended this year’s edition of Strata Data show last week in San Jose. Last year when I attended the show, it was still called Strata Hadoop. Interestingly, if last year many companies were trying to distance themselves from Hadoop, this year I witnessed outright hostility towards it.

Over the years, we’ve had the pleasure to work with many great individuals and companies and through our work have gained the ability to sympathize with their experiences of what we like to call “going from 0 to 100." No, we’re not endorsing excessive speeding in your car. We’re talking about going from having nothing but hopes and dreams about delivering engaging analytics (0) to having an interactive data story that your users don’t want to put down (100).

MARCH 20, 2018

A post I’ve written on applying some software engineering best practices to data science projects. Data for Breakfast. Most data scientists have to write code to analyze data or build products. While coding, data scientists act as software engineers. Adopting best practices from software engineering is key to ensuring the correctness, reproducibility, and maintainability of data science projects.

by DANIEL PERCIVAL Randomized experiments are invaluable in making product decisions, including on mobile apps. But what if users don't immediately uptake the new experimental version? What if their uptake rate is not uniform? We'd like to be able to make decisions without having to wait for the long tail of users to experience the treatment to which they have been assigned.

What can product managers and developers expect in the future with the widespread adoption of AI?

We typically think of quantitative scales as linear, with equal quantities from one labeled value to the next. For example, a quantitative scale ranging from 0 to 1000 might be subdivided into equal intervals of 100 each. Linear scales seem natural to us. If we took a car trip of 1000 miles, we might imagine that distance as subdivided into ten 100 mile segments.

Is Augmented Analytics Too Complex for Business Users? The concept of Augmented Analytics may sound complicated (and it may, in fact, be a challenge for a software vendor to accomplish), but the new augmented data discovery tools are quite easy to use. Unlike the data discovery tools of old, business users do not need to look to the IT staff or data scientists to perform advanced data discovery.

Many organizations today are unlocking the power of their data by using graph databases to feed downstream analytics, enahance visualizations, and more. Yet, when different graph nodes represent the same entity, graphs get messy. Watch this essential video with Senzing CEO Jeff Jonas on how adding entity resolution to a graph database condenses network graphs to improve analytics and save your analysts time.
