Becoming a data scientist does not necessarily require a master’s degree. There is a significant shortage of data scientists, and some employers are comfortable hiring people who lack a degree, but have the experience needed. The majority of employed data scientists have a master’s degree, but over 25% do not. If you have the experience, […]
The Semantic Layer Goes Mainstream
The semantic layer concept within the data stack is not new but is an increasingly popular topic of conversation. I predict that in 2022, we’ll see mainstream awareness of the semantic layer, especially as enterprises begin to see real-world examples of its benefits. The fact that industry leaders are discussing the need for a semantic […]

Deep Reinforcement Learning: What, Why, How
Reinforcement learning (RL), a “niche” machine learning technique, has surfaced in recent years. In context-based decision-making, reinforcement learning helps the machine take action-provoking decision-making through a trial-and-error approach to achieve the optimal algorithmic model for a situation. Furthermore, the machine is trained through a reward/penalty-based feedback mechanism, the goal of which is to continuously improve […]
A Brief History of Deep Learning
Deep Learning, is a more evolved branch of machine learning, and uses layers of algorithms to process data, and imitate the thinking process, or to develop abstractions. It is often used to visually recognize objects and understand human speech. Information is passed through each layer, with the output of the previous layer providing input for […]
