Klout Identifies Trendy Experts
January 4, 2016
I read “Top Algorithm, Data Science, Big Data, and Machine Learning Experts.” I am not sure what to make of the write up and the information it presents. The “rankings” are derived from an analysis of Klout scores. I am not a Klout person and the notion of having one’s influence rated on a scale of one to 100. The Klout score, it seems, reflects an individual’s influence via or “in” social media.
According to the article, a publication about search engine marketing in in the top five experts in algorithms. I assume this means that many folks get their algorithmic guidance from a marketing oriented publication. A fellow named Vincent Granville, who is pretty good at the Tweeter stuff, is the top expert in Big Data, Data Visualization, Deep Learning, Machine Learning and Statistics. He’s only number 2 in predictive analytics, however.
Interesting. No wonder I have a Klout score of i.
