Data Science
What is Data Science?
• An area that manages, manipulates, extracts, and interprets
knowledge from tremendous amount of data
• Data science (DS) is a multidisciplinary field of study with goal to
address the challenges in big data
• Data science principles apply to all data – big and small
• Data Science is the science which uses computer science, statistics
and machine learning, visualization and human-computer interactions
to collect, clean, integrate, analyze, visualize, interact with data to
create data products.
• Data science is a "concept to unify statistics, data analysis, machine
learning and their related methods" in order to "understand and
analyze actual phenomena" with data. It employs techniques and
theories drawn from many fields within the context
of mathematics, statistics, computer science, and information science.
• Theories and techniques from many fields and disciplines are used to
investigate and analyze a large amount of data to help decision
makers in many industries such as science, engineering, economics,
politics, finance, and education
• Computer Science
• Pattern recognition, visualization, data warehousing, High performance computing,
Databases, AI
• Mathematics
• Mathematical Modeling
• Statistics
• Statistical and Stochastic modeling, Probability.
Goal of Data Science
Turn data into data products
Examples
• Companies learn your secrets, shopping patterns, and preferences
• For example, can we know a person is married or not, even if he doesn’t want
us to know?
Data Scientist
• Data scientists are the key to realizing the opportunities presented by
big data. They bring structure to it, find compelling patterns in it, and
advise executives on the implications for products, processes, and
decisions
