My guest this time is Hilary Mason. Hilary was one of the first “famous” data scientists. I remember hearing her speak back in 2011 at the Strange Loop conference in St. Louis. At the time she was Chief Scientist for bit.ly. Nowadays she’s running Fast Forward Labs, which helps organizations accelerate their data science and machine intelligence capabilities through a variety of research and consulting offerings. Hilary presented at the O'Reilly AI conference on “practical AI product development” and she shares a lot of wisdom on that topic in our discussion. The show notes can be found at twimlai.com/talk/11.
