Tableau has become the world's leading analytics platform by helping people see and understand their data. Increasingly, to understand their data, organizations are looking to develop and deploy predictive models to drive better and faster decisions. But ML is only useful when teams can answer the right questions, with clean reliable data, and deliver predictions seamlessly into business workflows. Tableau’s approach to this problem is called Business Science, and our goal is to help more people and organizations succeed with ML through intuitive and powerful modeling experiences that emphasize collaboration and models that are built close to where the business needs them.

In the Business Science team, we are building a new experience to bring enterprise-scale machine learning modeling techniques into the hands of the data domain experts.
