is automating and democratising artificial intelligence and machine learning , putting it into the hands of more South African businesses.
DataRobot also delivers centralised monitoring, management, governance and alerting with a continuous AI framework with automated retraining, and challenger models for model comparison. DataRobot also allows data scientists to build models using their preferred tools and languages and deploy them to the DataRobot platform.
Janco van Niekerk, data scientist at KID, says AI and ML projects can be tedious work – particularly for highly skilled and qualified data scientists. “These projects can be very time consuming: you may first have to make sure everyone understands what AI and ML are, the business comes with ideas, then you meet in the middle and decide on an approach. Then after that, there is a lot of coding, with months of manual, tedious and repetitive tasks to deliver an ML project.
Human adds: “As more young data scientists enter the field, DataRobot will empower them to take charge of projects and free up senior staff to address the more complex projects. This will change the profile of the skills required and over time it will help address the skills shortages.”
