Title: Solving the Data Scientist's Dilemma – The Cold Start Problem

Description:
Supervised machine learning is a great tool when you have labeled training data and known classes (outcomes and diagnoses) that you are trying to predict for new previously unseen data. Supervised learning delivers great benefits in one of the most sought-after applications from data scientists: predictive analytics models (including recommendation engines). But, the assumptions of labeled data and known classes are generally not true in unsupervised machine learning -- this is an example of a "cold start problem" -- when you have no prior knowledge to start with. This is a dilemma since unsupervised learning can be the path to true discovery through serendipitous data exploration and surprise detection in previously unseen data. So, how can you maximize the machine learning outcomes, benefits, and applications when faced with the cold start problem? We will discuss this challenge and some solutions with illustrative examples.

Speaker: Dr. Tanushree Luke, Software Engineering at Capital One
