Sourcing Data: Finding and Filling Data Gaps

1:30pm-2:15pm
It’s a law of nature that 80% of data science is gathering and preparing the data in the first place. This talk will focus on the first part: how to locate data in your organization, understand if it’s fit for purpose, and what to do if you have gaps.

In this talk, John Akred will speak from his years of experience applying data science in industry, share a framework for evaluating data, and share pragmatic advice for navigating the political and technical aspects of sourcing your data.
