DSF Day 2 – Data Science to Production hosted by Zoopla
Join us at Zoopla for Day 2 of the Data Science Festival, where we will have an evening focused around taking data science projects to production. Our speakers, Jan and Miroslav, will dig into the real world challenges of implementing successful data science initiatives. With Gartner estimating that 85% of data projects fail, this is one not to be missed!!

Jan Teichmann - Senior Data Scientist at Zoopla
Summary: Solving the real challenge of Data Science -- Productionisation -- with proven solutions straight from the front lines.
Making data science a success is really hard with up to 85% of projects and initiatives around big data and data science failing according to Gartner. The reasons are complex but often misunderstood. What is so different about data science that it needs new approaches? A survey in 2016 concluded that 80% of data science is preparing and cleaning data (the infamous 80/20 rule). That survey of data scientists caught on and developed into the widely recognised problem statement for data science. Unfortunately! Because Productionisation of models is the TOUGHEST problem in data science. This talk will:
-introduce the unique data science requirements and
-introduce the Rendezvous Architecture, a proven solution to integrate data science and enterprise requirements in a harmonious way at scale
Bio: Jan is a successful leader in the data transformation efforts of companies and has a track record of bringing data science into commercial production usage at scale. He previously co-founded Cambridge Energy Data Lab where they celebrated a successful exit with Enechange.jp, an utility comparison platform, which is now the market leader in Japan. Jan is a highly skilled data scientist, data engineer and solution architect. He holds a PhD in Mathematics and offers a strong background in machine learning, statistical modelling and programming. He has extensive experience in big data, full stack development and interactive data visualisations which he uses to deliver engaging and comprehensive data science products which make an impact. He use his skills now to lead the data science team at Zoopla.
Miroslav Batchkarov - CTO & Co-founder at Teebly
Summary: Gold standard data: lessons from the trenches.The first stage in a data science project is often to collect training data. However, getting a good data set is surprisingly tricky and takes longer than one expects. This talk describes our experiences in labelling gold-standard data and the lessons we learnt the hard way. We will present three case studies from natural language processing and discuss the challenges we encountered.
Bio: I am the CTO and cofounder at Teebly, a communication platform for high-trust business. I have previously worked as a data scientist and software engineer at several early-stage companies and have taught natural language processing at the University of Sussex.
