Tracking the Most Intoxicating Data: A Conversation With Eric LeVine
Manage episode 520396270 series 3481544
Fine wine meets data science in this month’s episode of the Harvard Data Science Review Podcast. Hosts Liberty Vittert Capito and Xiao-Li Meng explore how data, taste, and technology intertwine with Eric LeVine, founder of CellarTracker, the world’s largest community-driven wine database. What began as a personal project for managing a home cellar has evolved into a global platform with millions of users and billions of data points on wines, prices, and human preferences.
During the conversation, they unpack the origins of CellarTracker at Microsoft, how big data and machine learning reveal trends in taste and behavior, and the use of AI to predict “Will I like this wine?” They investigate how to find your digital wine twin, data quality and privacy, and how AI could change how we buy, drink, and enjoy wine without losing the human touch.
Grab a glass and join us for a thoughtful conversation about curiosity, community, and enjoying life—responsibly.
Our guest:
Eric LeVine is president and CEO of CellarTracker, the world’s most comprehensive database. Previously he was a group program manager at Microsoft.
