Solving The Machine Learning Skills Gap Articles Big Data

Machine learning is, as you would likely imagine, extremely complicated, and not something your run-of-the mill computer engineer is going to be capable of without proper training. It requires someone with a background in computer science, likely with a doctorate in the sciences, as well as a significant amount of practical experience working with data at scale. Given that there is already a dearth of qualified data scientists, there is little to suggest that the situation is going to be any different when it comes to machine learning. And this is already hampering the technology. Just 15% of organizations manage to bring their big data projects to production, according to Gartner analyst Nick Heudecker, and he believes this number is likely to be far lower when it comes to machine learning.
