About this event

Data science, machine learning and AI are heavily promoted and often hyped. While data science can uncover insights and machine learning can enable prediction, many data science and machine learning efforts do not yield useful outcomes. Organizations that deploy data scientists and data engineers often find their efforts are unfruitful. Why is this? And what efforts to apply data science are successful? And what are the characteristics that make them successful? Drawing on three years of applied data science experience in a large Australian energy company, as well as examples from other industries, Dave will illustrate some of the challenges and limitations of data science in the real world, and also identify some opportunities for entrepreneurs and startups.
