Data Preparation - The Key to Successful Data Science

Abstract – Data preparation can take up between 60% and 80% of the time spent in data science projects and is crucial for the success of such projects. In this talk, the different data preparation activities such as data discovery, structuring, cleaning, enriching and validating are examined, challenges are highlighted, and combinations of intelligent algorithms and user interfaces to speed up data preparation are explored.
