Data Science Agility: A Benchmark

Do data science teams use (or think they use) an agile data science team process framework? To help find out, my student (Sucheta Lahiri) recently presented an academic paper that reported on data science agility across 16 organizations. The key takeaway was that even if your team thinks you are […]

OSEMN Data Science Life Cycle

Different data scientists have different processes for conducting their projects. And different types of projects require different steps. However, most data science projects flow through a similar workflow. One popular representation of this workflow is called OSEMN (pronounced “awesome”). Whether you use this or another life cycle, understanding the basic […]

Achieving Responsible AI

Machine learning predictive models are often used in data science projects. These models often deliver significant value. Examples of these AI models range from identifying skin cancer to optimizing when to milk cows. Unfortunately, there are many examples of AI (machine learning algorithms) not working as desired. For example, a […]
