Abstract

With the buzz about all the latest advances in machine learning, data scientists are in high demand. All companies want to innovate by developing recommendation systems, fraud detection, sentiment analysis, and more. We sometimes forget about the backbone of it all, the one that fuels the machine learning engine, data. How does data impact our machine learning performance, and what are the known problems?
