Examples of Data Scientist metrics and KPIs 1. Accuracy Proportion of overall correct predictions made by the system
What good looks like for this metric: Typical values range from 85% to 92%
Ideas to improve this metric Regularly update training data with new examples of cyberbullying Employ data augmentation techniques to enhance model robustness Refine algorithms to better differentiate between nuanced bullying and benign interactions Invest in powerful computational resources for training Enhance feature selection to include more relevant variables 2. Precision Proportion of identified bullying incidents that were truly bullying (minimises false positives)
What good looks like for this metric: Typical values range from 80% to 89%
Ideas to improve this metric Implement stricter thresholds for classifying messages as bullying Use ensemble methods to improve precision Incorporate more contextual clues from text data Regularly review and analyse false positive cases Enhance algorithm's sensitivity to language nuances 3. Recall Proportion of actual bullying cases that the system successfully detected (minimises false negatives)
What good looks like for this metric: Typical values range from 86% to 93%
Ideas to improve this metric Increase dataset size with more diverse examples of bullying Utilise semi-supervised learning to leverage unlabelled data Adapt models to recognise emerging slang or code words used in bullying Incorporate real-time updates to improve detection speed Conduct regular system audits to identify and correct blind spots 4. F1-Score Harmonic mean of precision and recall, providing a balanced measure of both
What good looks like for this metric: Typical values range from 83% to 91%
Ideas to improve this metric Focus on improving either precision or recall without sacrificing the other Perform cross-validation to identify optimal model parameters Use advanced NLP techniques for better text understanding Regular user feedback to identify missed detection patterns Continuous deployment for quick implementation of improvements 5. AUC-ROC Measures the ability to distinguish between classes across various thresholds
What good looks like for this metric: Typical values range from 0.89 to 0.95
Ideas to improve this metric Optimise feature selection to improve class separation Apply deep learning methods for better pattern recognition Leverage domain expert input to refine classification criteria Regularly update models to adjust to new trends in digital communication Evaluate model performance using different cut-off points for better discrimination

1. Data Accuracy Rate Percentage of data entries without errors. Calculated as (Number of accurate entries / Total number of entries) * 100
What good looks like for this metric: 95-98%
Ideas to improve this metric Implement data validation rules Regularly audit data entries Train team on data entry best practices Utilise automated data entry tools Standardise data formats 2. Data Utilisation Rate Proportion of collected data actively used in decision-making processes. Calculated as (Number of data-driven decisions / Total decision counts) * 100
What good looks like for this metric: 80-90%
Ideas to improve this metric Encourage data-driven culture Implement decision-making frameworks Regularly review unused data Integrate data into daily workflows Provide training on data interpretation 3. Data Collection Time Average time taken to collect and organise data. Calculated as the total time spent on data collection divided by data collection tasks
What good looks like for this metric: 2-3 hours per dataset
Ideas to improve this metric Automate data collection processes Streamline data sources Provide training on efficient data gathering Utilise data collection tools Reduce redundant data fields 4. Data Quality Score Overall quality rating of data based on factors such as accuracy, completeness, and relevancy. Scored on a scale of 1 to 10
What good looks like for this metric: 8-10
Ideas to improve this metric Conduct regular data quality assessments Implement real-time data monitoring Utilise data cleaning tools Encourage feedback on data issues Adopt data governance policies 5. Data Sharing Frequency Number of times data is shared within or outside the team. Calculated as the number of data sharing events over a specific period
What good looks like for this metric: Weekly sharing
Ideas to improve this metric Create data sharing protocols Utilise collaborative data platforms Encourage data transparency Regularly update data repositories Streamline data access permissions
