AI Book Bites-2.Pdf 2019 is The Year of 01. Artificial Intelligence. This is The Year That We Replace One Buzzword with Another. Feb 2019 | LinkedIn If you're looking for a job, look for companies that have been investing in data science for years and building over time... not constantly rebranding their failing departments and products to look like they have something "fresh." Why There Will Be No 02. Data Science Job Titles By 2029 Feb 2019 | Forbes There is evidence to suggest the rise of the data scientist is a temporary phenomenon, though, which is a normal part of the technology hype cycle. The coming disillusionment with data science job titles will be the following: Many data science teams have not delivered results that can be measured in ROI by executives. The excitement of AI and ML has temporary led people to ignore the basic question: What does a data scientist actually do? For complex data engineering tasks, you need five data engineers for every one data scientist. Automation is coming for many tasks data scientists perform, including machine learning. Every major cloud vendor has heavily invested in some type of AutoML initiative. Succeeding as a data 03. scientist in small companies/startups Feb 2019 | Medium - Towards Data Science Small companies don’t need a data scientist, but they need a “data person”. They might call the job “data scientist/engineer/analyst/ninja”, whatever. How new grads can 04. profit from a Data Science Mentor Nov 2018 | Medium - Towards Data Science University grads feel overwhelmed by the many options that there are after university. In Data Science specifically there are many different areas to get started in or focus on, which doesn’t make it easier. This is where a career mentor could help. Why Data Scientists Are 05. Crucial For AI Transformation Sep 2018 | Forbes No industry today can say that it is not data driven. With vast volume, speed and variety of data coming from external and internal sources, the need to scientifically approach data is paramount for competitive intelligence of organisations. That is what is keeping CxOs awake at odd hours. Top 10 roles in AI and 06. data science Jul 2018 | Medium - Hakernoon Cassie Kozyrkov (Chief Decision Intelligence Engineer, Google) says that applied data science is highly interdisciplinary. Perspective and attitude matter at least as much as education and experience. In which order to hire to grow a data team: data engineer, decision-maker, analyst, expert analyst... data scientist is the 6th in the list. An Ode to the Type A 07. Data Scientist Jun 2018 | Medium - Towards Data Science Type A = analysis, type B = build. Data Science Leaders: 08. There are too many of you Jun 2018 | Medium - Towards Data Science The leadership talent shortage in data science is far, far worse then the technical skills shortage itself. Cassie Kozyrkov says: data science leaders today are what I like to call “transcended data scientists.” People who pursued formal training in science, engineering, or statistics and then, by some miracle, woke up one day to realize that they were more interested in making data useful than chasing mathematical complexity for its own sake. Radical Change Is 09. Coming To Data Science Jobs Mar 2019 | Forbes The job of data scientist as we know it today will be barely recognizable in five to 10 years. Instead, end users in all manner of economic sectors will work with data science software the way non-technical people work with Excel today. In fact, those data science tools might be just another tab in Excel 2029. Presents 5 different types of professionals appearing: generalists, specialists, developers and engineers. Data scientists should 10. not write production code Feb 2019 | LinkedIn The code to do data science and the one written for production are fundamentally different because they serve different purposes.

AI skills infiltrating every industry and among the fastest-growing skills on LinkedIn (globally saw a 190% increase from 2015 to 2017). The Data Science Gap 14. Jun 2018 | Medium - Towards Data Science The people responsible for this “Gap” aren’t really the data scientists; rather the directors, HR departments and even the recruiters in different companies. The Kinds of Data 15. Scientist Nov 2018 | Harvard Business Review To hire the right people for the right roles, it’s important to distinguish between different types of data scientist. Science for humans vs data science for machines. One type of data scientist creates output for humans to consume, in the form of product and strategy recommendations. They are decision scientists. The other creates output for machines to consume like models, training data, and algorithms. They are modeling scientists. What on earth is data 16. science?

  • Decision Intelligence in Public Health – DIONE Stolk, J. and Nyon, S
    22nd International Congress on Modelling and Simulation, Hobart, Tasmania, Australia, 3 to 8 December 2017 mssanz.org.au/modsim2017 Decision Intelligence in Public Health – DIONE Jacob Stolk1 and Simone Nyon1 1 Dione Complex Systems, Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia Email: [email protected] Abstract: Public health surveillance is the ongoing systematic collection, analysis, interpretation, and dissemination of health data for the planning, implementation, and evaluation of public health action. To achieve effective public health interventions, it is pivotal to analyse and interpret the vast amounts of data collected by surveillance systems to enable good understanding of all factors having an impact on health. For example, we can consider child protection, which is an important public health issue. Often relatively extensive data exist on families in official statistics, research reports, social services reports, school and medical records, etc. However, these data are dispersed and hard if not impossible to relate and compare. This leads to numerous interventions that are conducted without adequate knowledge of target families that are to benefit from these interventions. Inadequate knowledge also leads to lack of intervention where it is needed, such as undetected cases of child abuse. In many cases the basic data that are needed for intervention decisions exist, but are not available to decision makers due to inadequate communication and lack of data integration, analysis and interpretation. Chronic condition management is another area where extensive disparate data exist from statistics and various health services and intervention agencies. In this area too there are numerous organizations offering services and a great need to better coordinate these services to achieve better outcomes for patients and also to reduce soaring costs of the healthcare system.

    10/26/2019 Introduction to Decision Intelligence - Towards Data Science Listen to this story --:-- 18:26 Introduction to Decision Intelligence A new discipline for leadership in the AI era Cassie Kozyrkov Follow Aug 3 · 13 min read Curious to know what the psychology of avoiding lions on the savannah has in common with responsible AI leadership and the challenges of designing data warehouses? Welcome to decision intelligence! Source: xijian/Getty Decision intelligence is a new academic discipline concerned with all aspects of selecting between options. It brings together the best of applied data science, social science, and managerial science into a unified field that helps people use data to improve their lives, their businesses, and the world around them. It’s a vital science for the AI era, covering https://towardsdatascience.com/introduction-to-decision-intelligence-5d147ddab767 1/12 10/26/2019 Introduction to Decision Intelligence - Towards Data Science the skills needed to lead AI projects responsibly and design objectives, metrics, and safety-nets for automation at scale. Decision intelligence is the discipline of turning information into better actions at any scale. Let’s take a tour of its basic terminology and concepts. The sections are designed to be friendly to skim-reading (and skip-reading too, that’s where you skip the boring bits… and sometimes skip the act of reading entirely). What’s a decision? Data are beautiful, but it’s decisions that are important. It’s through our decisions — our actions — that we affect the world around us. We define the word “decision” to mean any selection between options by any entity, so the conversation is broader than MBA-style dilemmas (like whether to open a branch of your business in London).

    LINK Link is an exercise in abstraction, causality, and modeling. It is about discovering and making visible interdependencies in complex systems. The author distills what she has learned in pithy insights. It takes discipline. You won’t regret reading this book. À Vint Cerf, Internet Pioneer Link is the missing link to our understanding of unintended consequences of many of our decisions and actions. This is a book for the ages, moving both technology (like AI) and human decision making to the next level. Must read. À V R Ferose, SVP and Head of SAP Academy for Engineering There is an explosion today in the impacts, risks, and opportunities of many decisions by private or governmental entities intended to impact future events. Link is about understanding these decisions and causal relationships. Societal transactions are accelerating: many more than ever are intangible, and there are substantial complexities created by newly discovered information as well as the resulting increase of global interdependencies. Surveillance capitalism, especially as enhanced by AI, is also a substantial risk today. Link is part of the solution: a crucial resource to understand causal chains, especially with the goal of avoiding unintended consequences of decisions involving data and technology.

  • Artificial Intelligence in Finance
    Artificial Intelligence in Finance: Forecasting Stock Market Returns Using Artificial Neural Networks Alexandra Zavadskaya Department of Finance Hanken School of Economics Helsinki 2017 HANKEN SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS Department of: Finance Type of work: Thesis Author: Alexandra Zavadskaya Date: 29.09.2017 Title of thesis: Artificial Intelligence in Finance: Forecasting Stock Market Returns Using Artificial Neural Networks Abstract: This study explored various Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications in a finance field. It identified and discussed the main areas for AI in the finance: portfolio management, bankruptcy prediction, credit rating, exchange rate prediction and trading, and provided numerous examples of the companies that have invested in AI and the type of tasks they use it for. This paper focuses on a stock market prediction, and whether Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), being proxies for Artificial Intelligence, could offer an investor more accurate forecasting results. This study used two datasets: monthly returns of S&P500 index returns over the period 1968-2016, and daily S&P 500 returns over the period of 2007-2017. Both datasets were used to test for univariate and multivariate (with 12 explanatory variables) forecasting. This research used recurrent dynamic artificial neural networks and compared their performance with ARIMA and VAR models, using both statistical measures of a forecast accuracy (MSPE and MAPE) and economic (Success Ratio and Direction prediction) measures. The forecasting was performed for both in-sample and out-of-sample. Furthermore, given that ANN may produce different results during each iteration, this study has performed a sensitivity analysis, checking for the robustness of the results given different network configuration, such as training algorithms and number of lags.
