Title: Getting something out of nothing: data science in limited environments

Abstract: Data Science for financial regulatory systems presents a series of challenges for any form of data science.  From legal restrictions on both use of automated decision making and data sharing to a complete lack of ground truth, any form of analysis needs precision, accuracy, and end user confidence and understanding before use.  In this talk we'll cover how to do data science in restricted real world scenarios and the limits that prevent it being used to full effect.
