Abstract: Artificial Intelligence is rapidly becoming the primary catalyst for product innovation and process optimization. Christian and René have had the chance to be part of GfK’s journey from a traditional market research company to a prescriptive data analytics provider over the last four years. Using examples from their daily development work, they will share what they have learned about certain aspects of machine learning in production:
- How to holistically understand (mis-)behavior of your data science models?
- How to handle client questions, provide evidence and ensure correct model behavior in production?
- How to scale methodologies to different data contexts?
