CANCELLED- Democratizing Automated Forecasting With Dataiku & Daimler

Talk #1 by Lukas Stroemsdoerfer, Senior Data Scientist at Daimler AG:
Democratizing Automated Forecasting at Mercedes-Benz

Future outlooks of financial KPIs are key to steer Mercedes-Benz business. In the past these outlooks where tediously collected and calculated with a lot of manual effort. Lately, such outlooks are often generated by Machine Learning based forecasts. After successfully working on more than 25 financial KPI forecasts, we packed all our knowledge into a software package. Using DataIku DSS we can put our package at the fingertips of our business users, enabling them to combine their business expertise with state-of-the-art Machine Learning.

Lukas is a Data Scientist at Mercedes Benz. He focuses on building tools to make developing and deploying data science solutions easier and faster. Lukas has a background in statistics and is super excited about Machine Learning, Software Engineering, and Pizza.
