Data scientists are constantly challenged with improving their ML models. But when a new algorithm won’t improve your AUC there’s only one place to look: DATA. This guide walks you through six easy steps for data acquisition, a complete checklist for data provider due diligence, and data provider tests to uplift your model’s accuracy. 

Editor’s note: This free guide walks you through six easy steps for data acquisition, a complete checklist for data provider due diligence, and data provider tests to uplift your model’s accuracy.

When trying to improve a model’s accuracy and performance data improvement (generating, testing, and integrating new features from various internal and/or external sources) is time-consuming, difficult, but it could be a major discovery and move the needle much more.

Stay Ahead of the Curve!

Don't miss out on the latest insights, trends, and analysis in the world of data, technology, and startups. Subscribe to our newsletter and get exclusive content delivered straight to your inbox.

The process of data acquisition can be broken down into six steps:

Hypothesizing – use your domain knowledge, creativity, and familiarity with the problem to try and scope the types of data that could be relevant to your model.

Generating a list of potential data providers – create a shortlist of sources (data partners, open data websites, commercial entities) that actually provide the type of data you hypothesized would be relevant.

Data provider due diligence – an absolute must. The list of parameters below will help you disqualify irrelevant data providers before you even get into the time-consuming and labor-intensive process of checking the actual data.

Data provider tests – set up a test with each provider that will allow you to measure the data in an objective way.

Calculate ROI – once you have a quantified number for the model’s improvement, ROI can be calculated very easily.

Integration and production – The last step in acquiring a new data source for your model is to actually integrate the data provider into your production pipeline.
