Building the NY Times 4th Down Bot by Trey Causey

• What we'll do
Abstract: In this presentation I'll talk about the process of building the 4th down bot, how we built a data product that teaches non experts how to think probabilistically, and the challenges of introducing machine learning models in non-quantitative environments.

Bio: Trey has worked at the intersection of data science and product for tech companies big and small. Simultaneously, he built a sports consulting business helping teams in the NFL, the English Premier League, and readers of the New York Times make better decisions using data, statistics, and machine learning.
