*From supply chain to large language models and back.*

Ishansh realized the potential of data when he was just 10 years old, during his time as a junior cricket player.

His journey led him to ask questions about the mechanisms behind the observed events.

Can large language models (LLMs) help in building an industrial causal graph?

What inspires stakeholders to share their knowledge and which causal discovery algorithms have been most effective for Ishansh’s supply chain use case?

Hear the insights from one of the BMW Group’s fastest-rising young data science talents.
