Large Scale Interactive Analytics with Imhotep
This talk was held on Wednesday, April 30, 2014 at 7:30pm
In a previous talk, we explained how we developed Imhotep, a distributed system for building decision trees for machine learning. We went on to describe how we build large scale interactive analytics tools using the same platform. This has kept our engineering and product organizations focused on key metrics by analyzing test results. It also gives our marketing organization timely and accurate insight into our data – allowing us to identify opportunities, spot trends, and learn about our job seekers. In this talk, Zak Cocos, who leads our Marketing Sciences team, and Product Manager Tom Bergman will discuss and provide examples of the valuable insights that can be gained by using Imhotep with almost any data set.
