Cole Stryker - Smarter Data Science

Gandhi Sivakumar, Chief Architect and Master Inventor, IBM (Australia)

A seminal treatment for how enterprises must leverage AI. The authors provide a clear and understandable path forward for using AI across cloud, fog, and mist computing. A must read for any serious data scientist and data manager.

Raul Shneir, Director, Israel National Cyber Directorate (Israel)

As a professor at Wharton who teaches data science I often mention to my students about emerging new analytical tools such as AI that can provide valuable information to business decision makers. I also encourage them to keep abreast of such tools. Smarter Data Science will definitely make my recommended readings list. It articulates clearly how an organization can build a successful Information architecture, capitalizing on AI technologies benefits. The authors have captured many intricate themes that are relevant for my students to carry with them into the business world. Many of the ideas presented in this book will benefit those working directly in the field of data science or those that will be impacted by data science. The book also includes many critical thinking tools to ready the worker of tomorrow … and realistically, today.

Dr. Josh Eliashberg, Sebastian S. Kresge Professor of Marketing, Professor of Operations, Information, and Decisions, The Wharton School

This is an excellent guide for the data-driven organization that must build a robust information architecture to continuously deliver greater value through data science or be relegated to the past. The book will enable organizations to complete their transformative journey to sustainably leverage AI technologies that incorporate cloud-based AI tools and dueling neural networks. The guiding principles that are laid out in the book should result in the democratization of data, a data literate workforce, and a transparent AI revolution.
