Data enabled products are defining the future of data science

If you want to know how to build great data science-enabled product, you needn't look beyond LinkedIn, now Microsoft-owned. The Mountain View headquartered professional networking company has over 433 million members across 200 countries, allowing data scientists access to structured datasets that spawned cutting-edge data-driven products, most notably "People You May Know"; "Social Graph Visualizations"; " Matching" and "Collaborative Filtering" that drove the company to success. According to Mandar Parikh, VP Product & Engineering, Entytle Inc, "Linkedin is one of the early adopters of data science and is at the forefront of modern day data science. It was one of the first companies to put together a strong data science team. In fact, LinkedIn graph search and recruiter product has got data science behind," he said.
