It is easy to stumble into the trap of thinking that since data exists somewhere abstract, on a spreadsheet or in the cloud, that data products are just abstract algorithms. So, we would like to conclude by showing you how objective-based data products are already a part of the tangible world. What is most important about these examples is that the engineers who designed these data products didn’t start by building a neato robot and then looking for something to do with it. They started with an objective like, “I want my car to drive me places,” and then designed a covert data product to accomplish that task. Engineers are often quietly on the leading edge of algorithmic applications be....Industrial engineersbook
