 Hi everyone, I'm Sam Cahane and you're watching theCUBE on the ground from the IBM Data First launch party here in New York City We're lucky to be with Miriam Friedel, a research assistant at Elder Research, second time in theCUBE today Thank you for joining us. Thank you so much for having me. Of course. So you were on a panel earlier I was. Can you tell us a little bit about that? It was really great It was with a lot of data scientists and experts in the field and as I said on the panel It was really interesting to hear about some of the common challenges that we all face Working on different types of data science Problems, you know, we're spread out all over the country all over the world But we really face a lot of similar challenges and it was interesting to hear people Say back to me things that I have been thinking about myself. So that was really interesting All right, so you're with like-minded data scientists. So what are some of the challenges? Well, one of them we talked a lot about bringing models into production So one thing that we struggle with a lot is it's not simply enough just to build a model That's really interesting or technically advanced you need to put it into production to play it and and that's what brings value to your Customers and a lot of other people on the panel had spoken about similar things So that was something that I appreciated hearing about knowing that other people are thinking about this as well Great. So we're at a party tonight. You know, it's fun. It is fun. It's great up here We're on a roof deck in New York City. Beautiful perfect temperature as well. Yes, and what brings you here? What's your connection to IBM? Well, my the chairman of the board of my company John Elder who founded Elder Research 21 years ago was invited and he was Unable to attend so he asked me to come and represent the company and so it's been really fantastic to be here and hear about the IBM launch the The product that they're launching tonight. And so that that is my connection I have used IBM before and some of the data modeling work, but But yeah, I'm here on his behalf representing the company and it's an honor to be here. I've had a great time I think you'd be very proud. You're doing a fantastic job. Thank you Any last words for the viewers? No, just as I said on the panel today if you happen to be building a model and it looks too good to be true It probably is so make sure you check your ETL and your modeling that you're not doing something crazy Check your ETL everyone. We're here at the IBM data first launch party Miriam Friedel. Thank you for joining us Thank you so much for having me. Stay tuned
