Core blockers to innovators
• Mapping business task to ML problem requires experts
- For example certain recommender systems require matrix factorization…
• Painful to evaluate, improve & combine ML models
- Enormous amount of time on low-value integration, feature engineering & validation
• Multiple systems to deploy & manage ML in production
- Custom build everything: deployment, monitoring, online experimentation,….
Accelerate innovators
to create intelligent applications
with agile machine learning
Our mission

Dato’s Machine Learning Core Tenets
• Maps business tasks to machine learning routines
• Eliminates bottlenecks to production
• Simplifies iteration & understanding
Create Value Fast
• Easily combine any variety of features & ML tasks with any data
• Platform components are open, reusable, & sharable
• Easily extend & integrate with other frameworks
Flexibility to Innovate
• Make ML safe & consumable for the enterprise
• Easily deploy, manage, and improve ML as intelligent micro-services
• Adapt to a changing world that drifts from your historical data
Intelligence in Production
Dato Products – The Agile Machine Learning Platform
import graphlab as gl
data = gl.SFrame.read_csv('my_data.csv')
model = gl.recommender.create(
data,
user_id='user',
item_id='movie’,
target='rating')
recommendations = model.recommend(k=5)
cluster = gl.deploy.load(‘s3://path’)
cluster.add(‘servicename’, model)
Agile ML Example: create a live machine learning service
Create a Recommender
5 lines of code
Toolkit w/auto selection

Lead Scoring : Use what you know about
your customers to maximize your sales &
marketing efforts.
Teams that implement Lead Scoring see a 77%
lift in ROI.
Lead Scoring : Motivation
http://sherpablog.marketingsherpa.com/b2b-marketing/lead-gen/lead-scoring-tips/
Teams that get Lead Scoring right have a 192%
higher average qualification rate.
Lead Scoring : Motivation
Aberdeen Group
Lead Scoring : Practical Definition
Inefficient customer acquisition is costing
your business money.
Your teams have limited resources
(money, people, & time)
Lead Scoring enables sales & marketing teams to prioritize
incoming leads to maximize their efficiency in gaining new
customers.
Lead Scoring : Practical Results
Once your teams are scoring leads, you can expect:
1. Higher conversion rates
2. Shorter conversion cycles
3. Increased revenue
Metric Before After
’Qualified’ Leads 1,000 600
Opportunity win rate 25% 40%
Average Revenue per sale $50,000 $62,500
Total Revenue $25MM $32MM
Lead Scoring : Without Machine Learning
Belief & Intuition about customers:
We are hot with the youth segment, we should target them.
Or your customers are price-sensitive which overlaps with youth.
We should be reaching out to people within an hour of signing up.
Being timely in 1st contact is critical.
Does data back this up? Maybe 4th day is equally effective.
Lead Scoring : With Machine Learning
Benefits of Machine Learning for Lead Scoring:
• Leverage historical data about customers
• Learn patterns of behavior and customer profile that indicate
propensity to convert (quickly)
• Understand what attributes of a user indicate their likelihood
to become a customer
• Predict probability of conversion of new lead, prioritize
accordingly
Lead Scoring : Machine Learning Process
Supervised Machine Learning workflow:
Historical
Data
• Split train/test
datasets
• Customers &
non-
customers
Train ML
Model
• Use the
attributes of
customers
• Use
behaviors of
Deploy
• Predict
likelihood to
convert on
new leads
Lead Scoring : Machine Learning (Advanced)
• Incorporate Time as a feature (ex. when did a customer take
an action, how much time elapsed between actions, how
many total actions, how many actions per week)
• Transform customer attributes to more meaningful data (ex.
age  age range, zip code  state, time of day 
morning/evening)
• Predict when a customer will convert (ex. Bob will convert in
next 7 days with 80% probability)
Lead Scoring & Customer Segmentation
Customer Segmentation is learning the
common attributes of your customers
and splitting them accordingly.
Better target each segment.
Predict which segment a new lead
belongs to utilize that for prioritization or
conversion strategy.
Poll: Data Science at your workplace
1. Does your team have data scientists or
developers?
2. Are you using Machine Learning in
production today?

Editor's Notes

  • #2: Notes: Didn’t reiterate intelligent applications Didn’t go into the building blocks of intelligent apps Didn’t talk about why this is painful Didn’t hit the plethora of applications possible Didn’t bring it back to what they care about most “did I answer your questions, do you see how we would fit/be used by your company” Didn’t talk about the future w/many models in prod Microservices seemed to low level Less filler talk – ANSWER THE QUESTION! Applications with data, it’s not professional, looking for better ways Didn’t land how these applications cut across groups How do you compare? Where is SAS? Do you handle compliance – explaining predictions (important for compliance?) Bring collateral & handouts Intelligent microservices wraps models/analyses in a consumable service accessible & consumable by anyone across the enterprise
  • #6: Empower businesses not about create, stay competitive, destroy,
  • #10: Move this up
  • #11: Poll: What do you do? Sales Marketing Product Development Information Technology Human Resources Operations Other Are you using Lead Scoring Today? No, here to learn more. Yes, with Marketo Yes, with Salesforce Yes, with Tableau Not sure, I think so. Not sure, I don’t think so.
  • #23: Poll: Does your team have data scientists or developers? Yes, a full team of data scientists. Yes, a full team of developers. Yes, a mixed team of both. No, but my engineering team does. No, but my R+D team does. I don’t have a team. Are you using ML in production today? Yes, for real-time predictions. Yes, for batch predictions. No, but on the roadmap. No, not sure.
