Congratulations to Cisco’s second annual Data Science Award Winners and Finalists!
We received over 100 inspiring submissions in 5 categories from teams representing 600+ Cisco employees. We looked at submissions across five categories: Product or Service Innovation, Benefitting Humanity, Customer Experience, Cost Reduction, and Revenue Increase. Narrowing the field down to the best-of-the-best data science solutions was difficult, but now, we are ready to reveal the winners and runners-up for 2020.
This was our first year presenting the Data Science Awards entirely virtually. We had the pleasure of welcoming the founder of deeplearning.ai, Dr. Andrew Ng, who not only sat down with us and shared his perspectives and expertise on artificial intelligence, but he announced the winners in this year’s competition!
Thank you, Judges!
