Recap Summary
We were delighted to be back meeting people again face to face in Edinburgh for our most recent Data Science Community event, delivered in partnership with The Data Lab and hosted by the University of Edinburgh at the impressive Bayes Centre.The event was a sell-out with over 120 registrations prior to the event.
We were joined by Martin Thorn, Head of Data Science & Data Platform at abrdn for a presentation on ‘Moving Machine Learning from POC to product’
3 Main Takeaways:
- - Being able to demonstrate great outcomes is more important than the algorithms you used to get there
- - Simplify your ideas and make them easy to digest (under promise and over deliver!)
- - You don’t need vast amounts of data - The real trick is to get value out of what you already have
