Masterclass: State of the Art in Predictive Analytics - Dr Gah-Yi Ban
While Large Language Models (LLMs) dominate current headlines, most organisational data remains structured and tabular. For this type of data, tree-based ensemble methods - particularly Random Forest and Boosting - remain among the most effective and widely used approaches for predictive modelling. This masterclass demonstrates why these tools are often a robust and cost-effective choice for structured data and how they can be implemented using off-the-shelf packages. Through real-world case studies, learners will gain a pragmatic roadmap for moving from data preparation to deploying high-impact predictive models in an enterprise environment.
“Senior data and AI leaders are under pressure to deliver impact quickly, often within a narrow window. Technical credibility matters. But so does the ability to translate capability into organisational change. This technical masterclass series was created to give leaders access to serious thinking, practical insight and the confidence to act. When you combine Imperial’s academic rigour with real-world application, you create something genuinely valuable for today’s data decision-makers.”
