Overall Satisfaction with IBM Data Science Experience (DSx)
IBM Data Science Experience was used by my organization for projects which required the use of Machine learning. Mainly the R Jupyter notebook was used as well as the SPSS Modeler. It was used by just a department. The main business problem was predicting Pavement condition index for highways.
- DSx provides an excellent support for machine learning modeling
- DSx provides a good environment for collaboration between colleagues
- DSx also provides support for sharing datasets, models, notebooks, and articles to start projects
- They should involve the drag and drop functionality more into DSx for data analysts who are not so much into coding
- Also, scripting nodes should be integrated into the drag and drop(SPSS MODELER)
- Also, more nodes should be added to the SPSS Modeler. For example, remove duplicates node, edit metadata node etc.
- IBM DSx helped us meet some needs of our business clients
- Not all business users could fully utilize DSx as they don't have much experience in coding
- Most Business requirements for a problem were solved
I wanted an environment that can support multiple users without any restrictions. Also, R-Studio does not provide a collaborative environment for multiple users. The Auto feature selection in the SPSS modeler is a good node in DSx which helps make statistical decisions on evaluating what features are relevant. Other products do not have this feature.
