Enterprise Data is More Complex than Academic Data with Scott Ziemke
Director of Data Science at Vertafore, Scott Ziemke joins Wendy on this week's episode of Would You Data Scientist to get in depth about data science in the insurance field. Find out how data differs from sector to sector, how it's sometimes the same, and how data differs from academia to the world of work.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Vertafore has the largest insurance policy data set in the world.
- One of the biggest use cases in insurance data science is re-marketing, essentially catching people who may leave for a better deal elsewhere and targeting them with something to incentivise them to stay.
- Academic data sets still don't measure in complexity to an enterprise data set. The scale and size of the data problems are much greater in the industry than people are used to seeing while studying.
- Some kinds of data science apply to all businesses. For example, every company has a HR department and there is HR data science.
- If you're looking to get into data science then get experience hands on with a real-life data set. Employers will generally look for the person with experience rather than just the learning.
BEST MOMENTS
‘All our competitors use data'
‘Analytics can do something that a human could never process'
