How Redis Helps Data Scientists Solve Big Data Challenges

Episode Summary

In this episode we are joined by Alex Mikhalev, a software engineer with a focus on Natural Language Processing(NLP) and PhD in applied maths/data fusion/wireless and wired network. Currently, Alex is on the Data Architecture team at Nationwide Building Society. Learn why Data Science is needed with a NoSQL DB. Also, we dive deep into Alex's NLP projects and how you can leverage Redis tools or modules for your own data science projects.
