@seanjtaylor Yeah, sorry for the latency. There's a *lot* going on between our talking and it responding...

@scholar_site @Verizon @ATT @Spotify @Citi I've designed this cohort for PMs, EMs, and entrepreneurs who want to develop ML-based products/services. ALSO many experienced Data Scientists tell me that this stuff is valuable because they were not taught these practical, less technical things.

Join me!

[Sphere @get_sphere]

Join our newest cohort on Driving Business Impact with Machine Learning led by NYU Professor Foster Provost 💻

@FakeFoster has led and co-led high impact ML projects at companies like @Verizon, @ATT, @Spotify and @Citi

I'll send an official notice of the single and the album later, but ... Yes!!

[manuel arriaga @manuelarriaga0]

Over the last decade, I have often inflicted Mean Reversion's one-of-a-kind music on friends. My absolute favorite in their first album is now available for streaming as a single: https://t.co/g3vWT7VxPN @MeanRevMusic

[Foster Provost @FakeFoster]

Agreed. I normally have the students in my PhD seminar read it, and I've had students come back years later and tell me it is one of the papers they remembered the most.

[Tom Fawcett @tomeff]

A little-known paper explaining how the multiple comparisons problem underlies several important #datascience problems. This should be a fundamental paper in DS. https://t.co/ZNW7q1kk30

[Foster Provost @FakeFoster]

Comprehensive data science case study focused on choosing peer-to-peer loan investments (think: machine learning for Lending Club) just published: https://t.co/mTJE0DM7ok (incl. Jupyter notebooks--see the case).

Hope it's helpful for teaching and learning!
