Bringing 15 years of experience and over 75 projects in data analytics & AI, Jonas Dischl can tell numerous stories why some projects failed to reach production stage and create additional value. It isn’t the fanciest algorithm that wins – it is the understanding of common pitfalls and human behaviour/ biases on both the data scientists’ and client’s side. This talk explores the lessons learned and dives into how future data scientists can prevent mistakes from reoccurring.
