suggestion to add an application and intro change
I own www.shigroupchina.com so I have COI

I think it might be more neutral to add a note to [small data] in the intro.

Recruiting
Recruiting involves the ability to predict the future success of a person to be hired. Some companies have developed [small data] solutions in specific areas that are when analyzed, predictive for a good hire.

Welcome to make this more neutral. I think the whole article is biased toward computer aided algorithms. This application is related to [small data]

Suggested update for section identifying commercial predictive analytics tools
Greetings! I'd like to make a suggestion to include MicroStrategy (the name of both a U.S. technology company and its flagship software product) in the list of commercial predictive analytics tools in the section titled Tools. I recommend the following go between MATLAB and Minitab:

Since I am here on behalf of MicroStrategy and have a financial conflict of interest, I will not edit this article directly, per advice of WP:PSCOI. Would someone else be willing to make this edit? Pinging and, as two of the more recent editors to make positive changes to this page. Happy to answer any questions if need be. Thanks, WWB Too (Talk &middot; COI) 19:49, 15 March 2018 (UTC)

"Decision Stream" Editing Campaign
This article has been targeted by an (apparent) campaign to insert "Decision Stream" into various Wikipedia pages about machine learning. "Decision Stream" refers to a recently published paper that currently has zero academic citations. The number of articles that have been specifically edited to include "Decision Stream" within the last couple of months suggests conflict-of-interest editing by someone who wants to advertise this paper. They are monitoring these pages and quickly reverting any edits to remove this content.

Known articles targeted:
 * Artificial intelligence
 * Statistical classification
 * Deep learning
 * Random forest
 * Decision tree learning
 * Decision tree
 * Pruning (decision trees)
 * Predictive analytics
 * Chi-square automatic interaction detection
 * MNIST database  — Preceding unsigned comment added by ForgotMyPW (talk • contribs) 17:49, 2 September 2018 (UTC)

Dear BustYourMyth,

Your activity is quite suspiciase: registration of the user just to delete the mention of the one popular article. Peaple from different contries with the positive hystory of Wikipedia improvement are taking place in removing of your commits as well as in providing information about "Decision Stream".

Kind regards, Dave — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.119.167.36 (talk) 13:32, 27 July 2018 (UTC)

To clarify, the text is already in the article with a and you are proposing references for it. North8000 (talk) 11:25, 11 September 2018 (UTC)

These articles are semi-protected due to concerted work to advertise works by inserting them as references. IMO the sentence that is in there is a vague say-nothing sentence and no we're presented with general references to books /papers insert to support it. I tend to want to say to find a more specific reference for the sentence (page # etc.) but the sentence says nothing. IMO we should remove the sentence.
