This decade will be a momentous one for business, as AI stands to shape the landscape like no other technology before it has done. McKinsey estimates that: AI could potentially deliver additional global economic activity of around $13 trillion...about 1.2 percent additional GDP growth per year.  This growth will likely follow a familiar pattern: first-movers will invest heavily in AI…

We at DataRobot have been enjoying building models to predict various sporting events around the world. However, it’s been pointed out to me that we have shown a bias for covering North American events so far. Several colleagues in Europe asked when we were going to predict the world’s most popular game, football. So I enlisted Chloe and Akshay to…

Deeper integration between DataRobot and Snowflake to help customers go from data to value even faster In late 2018, DataRobot and Snowflake partnered to enable DataRobot users to ingest data from Snowflake’s cloud-based data platform in order to quickly scale and leverage DataRobot’s leading machine learning capabilities. While this was a great first step, we knew that what would be…

Given the interest in and dynamic nature of the artificial intelligence (AI), data science, and machine learning market, we believe that Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for Data Science and Machine Learning Platforms has become one of the most anticipated pieces of research in our industry. Our customers have told us for years that we’re innovating faster than anyone else in the…

Predictive models learn patterns in training data and use that information to predict target values for new data. There are two data sets at play in this process, the training data and the scoring or inference data. The model will work well in production (i.e., produce accurate predictions in line with expectations) when the new inference data is similar to…

I’m starting the decade with a new adventure as DataRobot’s President and COO. “Don’t count the days; make the days count.” - Muhammad Ali Getty Images A few months back, I woke up early to find myself at a crossroads. I had recently left my job at AppDynamics and was weighing the next step in my career as I raced…

This is a big night for the film industry as the awards signify international recognition of excellence for actors, directors, writers, designers, and much more. One of the…

What are SHAP values and how are they being used to explain machine learning predictions? Meet Mark Romanowsky, a Data Scientist at DataRobot. Mark explains the important role that SHAP values play in machine learning by providing real-world examples: how a group of friends can fairly and efficiently share an Uber ride to their separate homes, and helping college students…
