Improving Citizen Services with Data and Machine Learning
The NSW Government promotes the use of data and information to improve its services and to benefit its citizens. As the NSW Government builds out its data practice and initiatives, it is imperative that to glean insights and learnings from the data, analysts are able to draw upon data science and automatic machine learning platforms to help find answers, pinpoint solutions and use data to create better services for all.

“Using data and a cutting-edge platform like Driverless AI helps us better fulfil our mission to improve outcomes for the citizens of NSW,” said Ian Oppermann, Chief Data Scientist at NSW Department of Customer Service. “We did an extensive evaluation of automatic machine learning platforms and selected Driverless AI because of its accuracy, and the ability for us to significantly accelerate the speed of our model development.
