A data science service for smart business insight
Data science is becoming more and more important in different domains such as computer vision, e-commerce, healthcare, smart energy, business, social media, insurance, and research & development, to name a few.
Data science projects require multiple competences such as programming, statistical and machine learning skills as well as project management and communication. One needs to ask several questions when starting a project:
A project can often be captured with the following flow-chart:
Data science projects require multiple competences such as programming, statistical and machine learning skills as well as project management and communication. One needs to ask several questions when starting a project:
- Do you need small, large or big data, and do they exist or do they need to be collected?
- Are the data annotated?
- Is it anticipated that the data will be quickly growing in the nearby future?
- Are real-time analytics needed?
- To what degree should the analytics be automated?
A project can often be captured with the following flow-chart:
A few examples of services provided:
- Computer vision, e.g. automated image tagging.
- Sales volume forecasting using machine learning
- Deployment of dashboards
- Webscraping
- Natural language processing (NLP)
- Sentiment analysis
Automated image tagging
A system can be trained to do binary or multi-label classification. In practice, automated tagging can serve different use cases.
