End-to-End Data Science to Drive Business Decisions at LinkedIn with Burcu Baran

In this episode of our Strata Data conference series, we're joined by Burcu Baran, Senior Data Scientist at LinkedIn. At Strata, Burcu, along with a few members of her team, delivered the presentation "Using the full spectrum of data science to drive business decisions," which outlines how LinkedIn manages their entire machine learning production process. In our conversation, Burcu details each phase of the process, including problem formulation, monitoring features, A/B testing and more. We also discuss how her "horizontal" team works with other more "vertical" teams within LinkedIn, various challenges that arise when training and modeling such as data leakage and interpretability, best practices when trying to deal with data partitioning at scale, and of course, the need for a platform that reduces the manual pieces of this process, promoting efficiency.
