Challenge:
We offer data science and machine learning training to students and professionals at all levels. The offers range from initial data model design via programming, collaboration tools, mathematics, statistical inference, ethics, etc. to deep learning with all its application possibilities. A comprehensive and intuitive most-in-one solution which simplifies and connects the full workflow was missing in our portfolio.
Solution:
Through introducing students to Dataiku in voluntary training courses, we are able to exemplify a high-level industry solution to data science and machine learning with its advantages and possible limitations. Students in particular appreciate the comprehensive capture of large parts of the workflow in a data science project.
Impact:
The Dataiku training courses show students how high-level industry solutions to data science and machine learning may look like. In particular, they gain an impression of their advantages and possible limitations.
The students appreciate the comprehensive capture of large parts of the workflow in a data science project. In future engagements, they may need to work with Dataiku or similar products.
