Creating Machine Learning Models Takes too Much Time
Once a use case is actually defined, it takes 66% of organizations more than a month to develop an ML model. For 64% of organizations, it takes at least another month to deploy that model.
Software Engineers Use Spreadsheets; Data Engineers Use the Cloud
Data engineers use cloud-based software and APIs as their primary tool to analyze data and are more likely to analyze data in the cloud.
Data Sharing Key to Success for COVID-19 Data Models
Integrating unstructured data is the top data challenge encountered when developing AI according to 57% of the survey by MIT Technology Review Insights.
How Long Does a Machine Learning Deployment Take?
On average, 40% of companies said it takes more than a month to deploy an ML model into production, 28% do so in eight to 30 days, while only 14% could do so in seven days or less.
Data Scientists, Not Developers, Lead Machine Learning Efforts
51% of data specialists that are doing ML said their models are created by an internal data science team.
Are woman devs pigeon-holed?
No matter how you look at gender, the percentage of women in IT varies depending on the study. Yet, in some ways, it doesn’t matter if the figure is 5 percent or 25 percent, the statistic still obscure hard truths. For example, when women join a programming team, […]
When Consultancies Should Work With Analytic Consultants
This is the second of several blog posts that look at the use of analytics consultants and when consulting firms should use analytics consultants. The first article can be found here. Management consultancies like McKinsey have been rushing to get in on the analytics boom […]
Why and When to Use Analytics Consultants
This is the first of several blog posts that look at the use of analytics consultants and when consulting firms should use analytics consultants. Throughout the corporate world analytics is a necessary capability for a data-driven enterprise. But what types of analytics should be done […]
Bill Franks Cuts Through the Hype
Bill Franks knew what he was talking about at last December’s Data Skeptic’s Meetup. I recommend him as a speaker. In his job at Teradata, I can easily see him successfully introducing robust new analytic projects to Teradata’s legacy data warehouse clients. While Franks had to cover […]
Still Relevant: “Analyzing the Analyzers”
I was fascinated with the chart that shows how often self-identified data scientists with different skill sets work with different scales of data. It is notable that most data scientists weren’t using big data (see the chart below). I assume that in 2015 a much larger percentage of data scientists are working on a terabyte or petabyte scale.
People Don’t Want Charts, They Want Answers
UPDATE: After talking to Mr. Hammond, I realized the main use case I was envisioning isn’t what he’s focusing on. He is focusing on a final product that is a complete news article, like about a baseball game or an earnings announcement. ORIGINAL POST: I […]
