The Surprising Data Science Killer App: R Markdown and Interactive Dashboards

Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and cutting edge models have become magnets for data science students in academic programs. However, when those same students transition into corporate data science roles, they often discover that the insights derived from these cutting edge models don't get the recognition they expect. For some reason, the rest of the organization "just doesn't get it." This problem here isn't in modeling technologies, but rather in how data science gets communicated outside the data science community. RStudio increasingly sees large organizations using interactive dashboards using R Markdown, HTML widgets, and Shiny apps as ways to make data science come alive for non-data scientists. In this talk, we'll discuss how these technologies have become "killer apps" for many businesses and driven increased use of data science throughout the enterprise. We will also touch on the tools needed to put data science into production more easily.
