The Importance of Domain Knowledge
Hi, it’s Ben from Freya again, here to share a little bit about the importance of domain knowledge when it comes to software projects. We found that it’s super critical to have the right domain knowledge for any project. Certainly that’s the case when it comes to defense aviation and logistics projects. We have a […]
Test Driven Development
What is the value of test-driven development and how does one go about it? Paul Townend briefly discusses the importance of iterative design.
Dangers of Accuracy
Are there dangers in accuracy? When you have unbalanced data that is incorrectly diagnosed, it can lead to misleading interpretations and results. Relying solely on data accuracy can be insufficient, so make sure to model your data according to the type of statistical model that is required for the problem at hand.
Machine Learning vs Statistics
Chris MacNeel: Hey, I’m Chris at Freya Systems, and I’d like to talk about machine learning and statistics. A lot of times we get asked, “What machine learning models are you using? What’s the best thing out there. What’s the cutting edge technology that you’re using.” And they often forget about statistical models. Now, it’s […]
Angular vs React
John Leczner: I’m John Leczner, Freya Systems. I’m a software developer. And today I want to talk about choosing Angular versus React. There’s so many things to consider when you’re looking at these two technologies, but I think high level and from a non tech savvy perspective, the most important ones are performance, time to […]
Programming Models: Industry vs Academia
Katherine Anderson: Hi, I’m Katherine from Freya Systems. I’d like to discuss the difference in approaches we have for programming models in industry versus academia. The main distinction is that in industry we’re focused on productionizing models, usually in a given time and budget. And in academia, we would be more focused on researching complex […]
Translating Skills
Ben Johnson: Hi, it’s Ben from Freya. I just wanted to share another tip for you today about how our skills translate between different verticals. We found that skills really translate, and it’s all about the techniques, how you apply a technique from one vertical to the next. Whether that’s predicting the failures on an […]
Data “Science” Projects
Chris MacNeel: Hi. I’m Chris here at Freya and I’d like to talk to you about data science projects. It’s great to be running models all day long and trying to get accuracy just a little bit better each time, but in industry, we have customers that we have to answer to. They have constraints […]
Stages of Analytics Projects
Ben Johnson: Hi it’s Ben from Freya. Today, I wanted to share a little bit of insight with respect to data analytics. Really the stages of any data analytics project so that when you engage in your next project you’ll be familiar with what’s going to happen. The first key part of it is gathering […]
Visualizing Information and Making Decisions
Albert: If I’m a user of software, what do I want to accomplish. They say they want something done, they want to be able to do something and I can develop a user story based off of that. Paul: Data science then does their analytics and then we need to be able to take the […]
