As we approach the end of 2023, it’s time to reflect on some of the milestones that I achieved throughout the year👇

✅ One of the key cornerstones of my professional endeavors was moving from the finance/insurance space to the pharmaceutical marketing area, which aligned with my career interests. It’s been an exhilarating journey in my new organization CMI Media group and I’m looking forward to learning more in 2024.

✅ I was also rewarded with the experience of releasing my first self-guided project for learners around the world, associated with Coursera. The project has already received 70+ enrollments, and I am expecting more students to kick off their AI journey by taking the project in the forthcoming months.

✅ My personal YouTube and podcast channel “DataScienceWithSam” gained a substantial amount of attention, boasting 2k+ subscribers and 8k+ downloads. I’m planning to release more digital content in the upcoming year as I manage time from my professional and personal commitments. Thank you for all the support to help continue my journey of raising awareness about the intersection of science, technology, and generative AI.

✅ Lastly, I had the privilege of being invited as a speaker to the AI in Finance summit and getting the opportunity to network with some of the brightest minds in the industry space.

📍 I am beyond thankful for all the professional and academic support I received from my peers, LinkedIn contacts, and other networks that helped me become a better version of my professional self.

Looking forward to 2024 for more professional adventures ➡️

📣 My first Coursera guided project “TensorFlow for Beginners: Basic Binary Image Classification” is available for public access now.

It was a unique experience working with world’s leading online education platform provider to design and develop course contents on the Rhyme platform that give learners an interactive hands-on experience on the topic.

This course is designed for newbies who want to take their first step into the world of computer vision and By taking this project, learners will gather basic knowledge about building neural network model using popular Python library TensorFlow that can be used for image classification purpose.

I dedicated this project to my pet dog 🐕 whose images have been used as a sample to test the efficacy of the model that learner will develop during the project.

If this sounds interesting to you, then go ahead and sign up for this project via the link below, which will help you to learn basic neural network model building skills in less than 2 hours.

Complete this Guided Project in under 2 hours. The goal of this project is to introduce beginners to the basic concepts of machine learning using ...

No matter how great your generative AI strategy is, you won’t be able to make a robust AI app if the underlying data has a lot of quality issues.

Take good care of your data and it will do wonders for you 🙂

I was often asked by my professional contacts about what motivates me to dedicate extra time beyond my personal and professional commitments to create digital contents.

The simple answer is my immense passion for learning and sharing my limited knowledge with others. A few years ago, I embarked on a personal journey of creating digital content, and it has been an incredibly rewarding experience so far.

In addition to this, I plan to extend my support to the community by offering career guidance and mentorship through 1:1 calls on the Topmate.io platform. This service is completely free and I welcome anyone interested in having a quick chat with me to learn about my professional journey and how to transition into the data science field. Link 👉🏼 https://topmate.io/samdey

I'm eager to engage in interesting conversations with learners on the Topmate platform!

Disclaimer: Please be aware that the mentorship or career guidance discussion will solely revolve around my personal views and opinions. Any organizational policy or proprietary details will not be discussed or reflected during the call.

This article is worth reading as it attempts to uncover the strategies that companies can consider to tap into the potential of 🤖 by utilizing proprietary data.

In my opinion, these are the advantages of transforming the theoretical concepts into more actionable items for organizations👇

☑️ Leveraging company’s proprietary information would enable data scientists/AI engineers to bring further innovative ideas to drive business decisions that aligned with organizational long-term objectives.

☑️ Developing a homegrown LLM model or generative AI app 💻 instead of using an external pre-existing model (such as GPT-4, BERT etc.) would reduce the risk of data security breach or infiltration attack by hackers 🛡️

☑️ Building a knowledge-based platform 📚 that would assist internal employees to gather information about organization’s intellectual capital or institutional knowledge based on their job functionalities in more convenient way.

⚠️Caveats:

Building a LLM model from scratch is expensive as it would require significant amount of investments to build framework and hire a team of SMEs consist of data scientists and NLP/AI experts.

Therefore, it is necessary to prepare a blueprint of ROI metrics from budgetary perspective before kicking off the generative AI endeavor for your respective organizations.

📍Important Note 📝

In the midst of rapid technological growth, organizations may aim for bringing generative AI to enhance processes that accelerate business decisions WITHOUT eliminating the existence of human-based job roles that require human intellect.

Check out this article and share it with your business and technology leaders to get their perspectives on this. Happy reading!

Leveraging a company’s proprietary knowledge is critical to its ability to compete and innovate, especially in today’s volatile environment. Organizational innovation is fueled through effective and agile creation, management, application, recombination, and deployment of knowledge assets and kn...
