Ever curious how the analytics and datasciences are applied in the Australian government agencies?
We are in an absolute treat on this. I had a privilege of interviewing Dr. Warwick Graco to understand the use of data sciences in government.
Dr Graco is a senior director in data science at Australian Taxation Office.
He previously worked for what is now called ?Medicare Australia? and was manager of a team that built machine-learning and multivariate statistical models to help identify fraud and abuse within Medicare and Pharmaceutical Benefit schemes.
During his career, he has also worked in Australian Defence Force as an army officer and served in a variety postings including time spent assisting with development and delivery of command support systems .
Over the years, he has published a number of papers and other publications involving topics such as defence, strategy and analytics. Below is a small clip from the interview, where we get to learn about the special task forces in tackling the blackeconomy using data & analytics.
