Aleksandra Mozejko shared her insights after 2 years of working as a data scientist at Sigmoidal. The reality is much more complex than what you see on Kaggle or during online courses. The point is that you simply won't get a data set, do a little cleaning and run an effective model afterwards. The fact is that every model which is deployed on production has an impact on people's decisions, shaping the reality. Keeping business goals in mind, Aleksandra demonstrates how data science looks like when a real client comes to the office.

W ostatnim roku dość często podróżuję, jestem zapraszany na różne konferencje, wydarzenia, na których staram się dzielić swoim doświadczeniem. Czasem bywa to bardzo męczące, bo w ciągu jednego tygodnia odwiedzasz 2, 3, a czasem więcej miast. Jak ktoś to robił, to wie, jak to jest skomplikowane, ale moja motywacja to przygotowanie ludzi do zmian, które nas czekają. Wiem, że nie tak wiele osób jest w stanie zastanawiać się nad tym, dokąd ten świat dąży, czego mogą się spodziewać w najbliższym czasie, dlatego jeżdżę i opowiadam, jak ja to widzę. Zwykle po takiej prezentacji nasuwają się bardzo logiczne pytanie: no dobra, ale jak zacząć, od czego zacząć?
