O'Reilly Radar

O'Reilly's Jenn Webb chats with Cait O’Riordan, VP of product, music and platforms at Shazam, about the current state of predictive analytics and how Shazam is able to predict the success of a song, and how the Internet of Things affects Shazam’s product life cycles as well as the behaviors of their users. Jenn also chats with Francine Bennett, CEO and cofounder of Mastodon C, about unintentional uses of data for evil and how data scientists can ensure their work stays on the data for good side of that line.
