Data Scientists should focus on the right problems

'The 20% of problems which are hard to solve but have really big returns, that’s probably where data scientists need to be focusing their effort because trying to scale machine learning models across thousands of thousands of failure modes in a plant is probably not practical in the traditional approach to data science.'

- Denis Marshment

Data Science Week Event

VROC was pleased to host Accelerating Industrial Data Science, an industry event as part of Data Science Week 2021. The event focused on the challenges experienced in scaling data science and the emerging opportunities of growth in this area. We invite you to re-watch this event, which provides a robust update on where industrial data science solutions are headed and how we can accelerate growth to ensure industry experiences real value from data analytics, data science and auto-machine learning.

Topic Covered:

  • Definition of data science, what does a data scientist does and an emerging opportunity to automate this process.
