“Data Scientist in Residence”, “Chief Data Officer”, “Big data engineer”…the data science buzzword du jour is “Data Scientist.” These data scientists are part data analyst, part statistician and part software developer. With data quickly becoming a top strategic business priority for many companies, the need for data scientists will only increase – especially as we move toward an ever more data-driven world.

If data represents a strategic asset for your company, then you should be wondering if a data science team is needed and is it better to buy or rent the talent? Data analysis can be done by anyone with analytical skills, right? Well, the functions of a data scientist on a data science team are broader than initially meets the eye….and they typically need to work closely with data analysts and subject matter experts.

Data Scientists are in demand, and the salaries for US-based professionals can easily reach six-figure levels (about $120K + benefits according to Indeed). The number of data science jobs is expected to grow by 24% over the next five years. But do you really need a team of data scientists?

Advanced Analytics is an encompassing term that is used to categorize techniques and technologies that seek to understand what happened in detail or to predict what may happen with an unmatched degree of precision.

The field of AI-powered Advanced Analytics draws on various aspects of neuroscience, statistics, mathematics, and computer science. But perhaps more critically, it is heavily influenced by the disciplines of philosophy and psychology to understand human motivations.

Since the advent of Big Data Analytics over a decade ago, the challenge has been to gather the data so that you can see the data and display it in such a way as to allow it to be useful in the day-to-day processes of a business.  Dashboards are very popular for this exercise— and rightly so. However, your dashboards are a crutch used to identify things from the past and correct them.  They help you learn the 6… 8… or 10 things that your team needs to work on in a given amount of time.  But they give you false KPIs.

We’ve been posting opinions and comments that urge marketers to “get over” artificial intelligence (AI). To dive into AI’s veritable treasure house of research tools and insights, instead of circling it warily, for fear of banging into a “disruption” moment.

Raw Data before Latent Effects Modeling

Marketers: use advanced analysis techniques for deeper insights

So, I hereby plant the flag of AI for the regular guy (or gal, of course) — well, at least for the professional who wants to use precise and accurate data to propel insights that simply wouldn’t be perceptible with traditional approaches to analysis.

Developing a basic understanding of use-cases, trends, and applications for Artificial Intelligence (AI) is helpful to understand the context in which AI is deployed. Keep in mind “AI” is sometimes considered too broad to be a distinct “field.” Rather it is a technology “concepts” with clarifying needed to properly frame discussions on the topic. Therefore we’ve assembled broad definitions to help readers develop a basic vocabulary for communicating about the subject. Think of this glossary as similar to the old Berlitz travel guides of “essential terms” for a given language.

Advanced Analytics

artificial intelligence glossary

AI introduces a whole new vocabulary to marketing.

A part of data science that uses high-level methods and tools to focus on projecting future trends, events, and behaviors. This gives organizations the ability to perform advanced statistical models such as ‘what-if’ calculations, as well as future-proof various aspects of their operations. The term is an umbrella for several subfields of analytics that work together in their predictive capabilities.
