I’m delighted to be speaking at the EARL Conference to be held in London on the 14th – 16th September. What’s my topic?
Convince your HiPPO with Real world Data Storytelling in R and Machine Learning
In a world where the HiPPO’s (Highest Paid Person’s Opinion) is final, how can we use technology to drive the organisation towards data-driven decision making as part of their organizational DNA? R provides a range of functionality in machine learning, but we need to expose its richness in a world where it is made accessible to decision makers. Using Data Storytelling with R, we can imprint data in the culture of the organization by making it easily accessible to everyone, including decision makers. Together, the insights and process of machine learning are combined with data visualisation to help organisations derive value and insights from big and little data.
In this session, we will use R and cloud-based technologies in order to explore and analyse data using machine learning and statistical packages functionality, and we will look at our results. Then, we will look at how we disseminate the results to the HiPPO audience, using best practices in data visualisation and R, informed by gurus such as Stephen Few and Edward Tufte.
If you want to know how to demystify R and the insights you’ve found during your analyses, join this session in order to learn about machine learning as a technology and a discipline, and how to make the most of your insights using best practice data visualisation. Using real-life scenarios, this session will help you to communicate the insights of your data to your HiPPO, thereby helping to move your organisation towards a data-driven culture.
R now ranks as the sixth most popular programming language – its move from last year’s 9th place reflecting the growing importance of data analytics to an increasing number of industries and sectors. EARL offers a unique opportunity to discover how R is being used commercially to provide a wealth of business solutions.
