DataFramed

Claudia Perlich, Chief Scientist at DStillery, a role in which she designs, develops, analyzes and optimizes the machine learning algorithms that drive digital advertising, speaks with Hugo about the role of data science in the online advertising world, the predictability of humans, how her team builds real time bidding algorithms and detects bots online, along with the ethical implications of all of these evolving concepts.

The trucking industry is being revolutionized by Data Science. And how? Hugo speaks with Ben Skrainka, a data scientist at Convoy, a company that provides trucking services for shippers and carriers powered by technology to drive reliability, transparency, efficiency, and insights. We'll dive into how data science can help to achieve such a trucking revolution, and how this will impact all of us, from truckers to businesses and consumers alike. Along the way, we'll delve into Ben's thoughts on best practices in data science, how the field is evolving and how we can all help to shape the future of this emerging discipline.

Maelle Salmon, a data scientist who has worked in public health, both in infectious disease and environmental epidemiology, joins Hugo for a chat about the role of data science, statistics and data management in researching the health effects of air pollution and urbanization. In the process, we'll dive into the continual need for open source toolbox development, open data, knowledge organisation and diversity in this emerging discipline.

David Robinson, a data scientist at Stack Overflow, joins Hugo to speak about the evolving importance of citizen data science and a future in which data literacy is considered a necessary skill to navigate the world, similar to literacy today. We'll speak about many of Dave projects, including his analysis of Trump's tweets that demonstrated the stark contrast between Trump's own tweets and those of his PR machine. We'll also speak about ways for journalists, software engineers, scientists and all walks of life to get up and running doing data science and analysis.

Hilary Mason talks about the past, present, and future of data science with Hugo. Hilary is the VP of Research at Cloudera Fast Forward, a machine intelligence research company, and the data scientist in residence at Accel. If you want to hear about where data science has come from, where it is now, and the direction it's heading, you've come to the right place. Along the way, we'll delve into the ethics of machine learning, the challenges of AI, automation and the roles of humanity and empathy in data science.
