Subject: Upcoming January 19th Data Science Community Conversation

Hello UAI Data Science Community Members,

Happy New Year and I hope you all had amazing holidays! It’s been a little while since we last connected and I’m very excited to announce our FIRST community conversation of the year, “Burning Questions,” taking place Tuesday, January 19th at 1:00 PM CT. This interactive discussion will explore several burning questions requested by the Data Science Community and include the perspectives of several different utilities. Please see below to learn more about this session!

Session Description:

Join the Data Science Community on Tuesday, January 19, 2021 from 1:00 – 2:00 PM CT for a facilitated, interactive exercise to discuss hot topics and answer some “burning questions” with your fellow Data Science Community members. We will take time to discuss member requested topics, including:

• Do you conduct code review? If so, how?
• Did you make adjustments to your load forecasting regarding COVID-19? And if yes, what data did you use and how did you use it?
• How do you streamline “pre-processing data” (aka 80% of data science is getting data set up before the actual analytics) and how do you deploy data science?
• What’s the division of responsibility for data ‘pre-processing’ or engineering? Is this handled by your data scientists or an IT team?
• What’s your biggest ‘data science win’ to date? (i.e. project that had the most impact to your organization)

This “Burning Questions” session will be delivered in a way that will encourage partnered collaboration between members to answer these identified questions, as well as any other questions you may have for your data science peers.  

When answering questions during the session, we encourage members to showcase your successes, share experiences and lessons learned, and gain valuable insights from the supportive and knowledgeable group of peers meeting during this Data Science Community Conversation. See you online on January 19!

We will be providing a Microsoft Teams link prior to our call but if you have any questions in the meantime, please reach out to me at kpraet@utilityanalytics.com and I’ll be happy to help.

Thanks and we look forward to connecting!
