Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers organizations immense power, from predictions to recommendations to smarter decision making - but organizational resistance to this shift is a huge problem. When data-driven engines present findings that differ from executives’ intuition, nine out of ten executives ask for more data instead of trusting the engine.

After more than a decade of consistent losses from rolling a long NG position, the cumulative return has been positive for the past 12 months.  This has only occurred briefly during the ‘polar vortex’ of early 2014 and during the 2008 commodities ‘super cycle’ peak.

There is a lot of talk about the fourth industrial revolution centered around AI. If we are at the start of the fourth industrial we also have the unusual honour of being the first to name our revolution before it’s occurred.

A data science project requires numerous iterations that are time-consuming. When dealing with numbers and data interpretations, it goes without question that you have to be quite smart and proactive.

Motivation There are dozens of machine learning algorithms out there. It is impossible to learn all their mechanics, however, many algorithms sprout from the most established algorithms, e.g. ordinary least squares, gradient boosting, support vector machines, tree-based algorithms and neural networks. At STATWORX we discuss algorithms daily to evaluate their usefulness for a specific project or problem. In any case, understanding these core algorithms is key to most machine learning algorithms in the literature.

There’s a lot of talk these days about “fake news”, and for good reason. But the growing uneasiness about relying on information from the web has crept beyond politics into other areas, including the search for employment. Scams and fake offers are an unfortunate reality of online job searches across industries.
