Title: Edible AI - Building Effective and Accessible Models with Data Wrangling and Visualization

Presenter: Daniel Haight, President and co-founder of Darkhorse Analytics

Abstract: If AI or ML is the steak in your sandwich, then data wrangling and data visualization are the bread that allows you to eat it. Together, these enabling skills make your models consumable. In this talk, we will propose a structured approach to data wrangling and look at different data visualization techniques to ensure accurate, accessible insights. 

Bio: Daniel Haight is the President and co-founder of Darkhorse Analytics. He is a Certified Analytics Professional and an award-winning lecturer at the University of Alberta School of Business. His work has spanned healthcare, energy, marketing, professional sports, and transportation. He started his career at Mercer Management Consulting in Toronto advising senior management and jet-setting around the continent. Subsequently, he nearly made millions of dollars in a small Internet startup. Instead, he enjoyed the magnificent failure of the dotcom bust.  Along the way, he started a used car dealership, purchased a second-hand trampoline for fifteen dollars, recorded a rock video, and fathered three children. His current work focuses on predictive analytics and data visualization. His goal is to help managers make better decisions by combining their experience with the power of analytics.  His even bigger goal is to design a company where Monday mornings are even more exciting than Friday afternoons.
