The company has published its first two video series "How to Build a Model," and "Interpreting Your Model Performance with Cost Functions" to its international data science audience, and said, it has scheduled more than 80 additional videos over the next six months.

Mikhail Golovnya, senior scientist at Salford Systems and instructor in many of its videos and training courses said, "These videos are being created in order to point out the most important areas of the software and how to use them; which is not always easily available in the existing documentation."

"In many cases, it is a lot easier to watch how something can be done in a video instead of reading it in a paper or user guide," added Golovnya.

Anyone from the beginner practitioner to the expert user will benefit from Salford Systems' existing and queued videos. Of course it depends on what type of videos the end user is interested in, and that is why Salford Systems has included videos for the beginner user and some for an advanced user, added the release.

"In the coming months, subscribers should expect to see a more in-depth discussion of some specific, lesser-understood areas of the software, mostly batteries and automation," added Golovnya. "Also, we will offer some tips and tricks for a more advanced user and explain some of the internals of the software and technology."

Thus far, the video series that have been published fall under a category of "How-To" and serve as a great introductory guide to building predictive models and understanding the mathematical structure behind the choices each algorithm makes on the analysts' behalf.
