The Fifth Elephant 2019

As more and more organizations have begun embracing data science to solve a wide spectrum of problems across their business, there is still a gap between the potential that data science holds and the actual outcome that organization sees while applying data science. In this talk, I will try to draw on my experience of having worked and built data science products over the last decade - from building the ranking algorithms of Google News, E-commerce search engine at Bloomreach and people search in context of careers, most recently at Belong. Will take up one problem, go over the steps to solve the problem - from modelling, choosing the algorithm, learning the algorithm, tuning and getting things to work.

Outline

Need to work on the whole talk. Have given somewhat similar talks in the past. But I will come up with totally new content/new flow and algorithm.

Requirements

Will be using Google slides
