Feedback loops critical to machine learning, Wikibon analyst says

Data feedback loops are critical for machine learning platforms according to research firm Wikibon. In his latest research Professional Alert, an elaboration on the role of digital business platforms in machine learning explored in his previous Alert, "Digital Business Platform for Machine Learning Apps", Wikibon Big Data & Analytics Analyst George Gilbert takes a close look at the data feedback loops that are central to machine learning. He finds that data wrangling and defining the variables or features that drive the model are critical to establishing successful analysis and should be entrusted to data scientists. The data that feeds machine analysis often comes from sources that aren't curated, and that means that preparing data requires human expertise. Defining the correct variables and data features with which to separate valuable data from noise is critical.
