PARTNERS Session:
Sunday, October 2 @ 4:00PM
Ballroom 20A

• The "Data Attitude" at LinkedIn
• Decisions come using data FIRST
• Open Source data at LinkedIn
• Pushing the envelope with "Econometrics"
• Using diverse techniques to pull data that is otherwise too subtle for traditional techniques
• Advantages of having a team with diversified skills
• Moving beyond traditional relational database techniques

"Companies who compete on analytics and delivering data-driven services need to iterate quickly on big data. This enables rapid data exploration to identify unknown relationships and trends to create new products and services. Come to this session to see how LinkedIn has created a core competency around analytics. Understand about the techniques and technologies LinkedIn data scientists use, including the Aster Data analytic platform, to create data-driven products such as People You May Know. See real-life examples of how Aster Data's SQL-MapReduce enables analytics that can't be done (easily) in traditional relational database systems. Get ideas of how to apply iterative big data analytics in your own organization and enable your own analytics center of innovation."

Scott - Thx! for your time and insight. Liked your emphasis on applying the data science as appropriate for the problem. Interesting to hear about the kinds of questions or problems you are trying understand and solve at LinkedIn and can see that as companies develop their own networks or tap into networks of interaction they will need various toolkits - both data science and IT platforms.
