Executive Guide to Human-in-the-Loop Machine Learning and Data Annotation

I'm an independent consultant, trainer, speaker, and author of seven books. My consulting specializes in helping analytics leaders build and manage their data science teams. My training, including 20 LinkedIn Learning courses and frequent conference workshops, has reached 1000s of individuals trying to learn statistics, machine learning, and data science. I love that I am able to train and consult. Training allows me to interact with (and learn from) 100s of clients in dozens of industries every year. It prevents me from obtaining too narrow a focus, and it keeps me current. Consulting allows me to work with a smaller number of clients in detail and in-depth, working with them on real problems of immediate concern to them. It keeps me sharp. If you've encountered me through my LinkedIn Learning courses, please consider following me here on LinkedIn. I'm not able to connect with everyone, so I connect only with clients and colleagues that I know directly. But please do follow me here because I'm quite active on LinkedIn and frequently post excerpts from the courses and other content. Follow #freefirstfridays to see when I post a link to watch a course for free. My favorite kind of consulting work involves: - working with analytics management to create effective data science teams - listening carefully to my client explain their business in detail - turning their description into a research question that can be answered with their data - coaching my client on presenting possible solutions to decision-makers - working behind the scenes to get the solution deployed Specialties: For the last several years, my emphasis has been working with analytics management to more efficiently run their teams and to nurture new hires as they expand their teams. I am skilled at explaining complex methods to new users or decision-makers and can do so at any level of technical detail. I specialize in predictive models and segmentation analysis, including classification trees, neural nets, general linear model, cluster analysis, and association rules. Books and Courses The best way to find out more about me is to check out my courses on LinkedIn Learning. They have received over 500,000 views, and each one has some free content. My books can be found on Amazon, and typically that allows you to view some free content as well. I'm very proud of all of this content (listed below in my profile), but I am still primarily an active consultant. If you need consulting help, private training, or a keynote speaker, contact me, and we can discuss.
