In this talk Simon Belak, Chief Data scientist at GoOpti, will take you through how he approaches forecasting and practices he learned along the way. He will mainly talk about models that do not require excessive amounts of data, about models that are legible and work well as part of a continuous process (rather than being a one-of problem).
