Data Science is a field with immense breadth & depth. As our toolkit grows & we learn how to chain models & pipelines together, there's no limit to the time & complexity we can devote to over-engineering a solution. In my role as a data science instructor at Metis, & during my tenure at Microsoft before that, I've observed time & again that many data scientists seem to be much better at learning algorithms & software libraries than they are at identifying good business cases to solve, & designing workflows that will enable them to work productively from start to finish.
In this workshop I share a user-focused design approach to building an end-to-end minimum viable product for any data science project. By asking & answering the right questions at the start of any new project, we can set a course that points to clear choices for the design decisions we face along the way. I teach this in the context of building a music genre classification model that can be used to generate playlists from text descriptions.
