Many people think success in data science is all about big data – being able to manipulate extremely large volumes of information and scale black box algorithms. This is not always the case. Getting data science right isn’t a matter of the volume of data you have. It’s about understanding the quality of data you’re working with and knowing exactly what to look for in that data set. Data scientists are artists who use human skill and intuition to build effective models. In this talk, ZestFinance will discuss the distinction between big data and data science and share examples of how data science techniques can be used to provide insights that help predict risk, revenue outcomes and click-through behavior.
