Jake Mason - Building Data Science Communities and Applying Artificial Intelligence Before It Was Cool

In this episode, we speak with Jake Mason, a Senior Data Scientist at Carrot Health. Prior to his current role, he was at United Health Group where he developed and lead teams building real-time machine learning applications. Outside of his professional work, Jake has been a cofounder of two awesome meetup groups here in the Twin Cities. The first is "Analyze This" a group that focused on creating data science challenges by teams from data scientists in the community to help non-profits or other organizations achieve what they would have not been able to do themselves. Likewise, his next group, StarEightyTwo was on a mission is to help individuals learn analytics while creating positive change for nonprofits, businesses, and the public sector.If you are interested in learning about how AI is being applied across multiple industries, be sure to join us at a future Applied AI Monthly meetup and help support us so we can make future Emerging Technologies North non-profit events! Emerging Technologies NorthAppliedAI MeetupResources and Topics Mentioned in this EpisodeVenn Diagram of Data ScienceReprogramming the American DreamNasim TalebDaniel KahnemanSignal & The NoiseVisual Studio CodeRStudioPythonRAnalyze This!Logistic RegressionMachine LearningXGBoostEnsemble LearningPJReddieMapping PrejudiceContinuous LearningMinneAnalyticsEnjoy!Your host,Justin Grammens
