  1. DATA SCIENCE?! Data Scientist (n.): Person who is better at

    statistics than any software engineer and better at software engineering than any statistician. "Data Scientist" is a Data Analyst who lives in California. − @nivertech! − Josh Wills (Cloudera)!
  2. “Rachel’s data science profile, which she created to illustrate trying

    to visualize oneself as a data scientist;”! ! From: Cathy O'Neil & Rachel Schutt. “Doing Data Science!
  3. What is Machine Learning?! 8 Outputs ! (labels)! Inputs !

    (observations)! Computer! Program! Spam/Non-Spam! Labels! Emails! Classification Algorithm! Spam Filter!
  4. Working with Labeled Data 11 Supervised Learning! ?! x (“input”)

    y (“output”) x1 (“input”) x2 (“input”) ?! Regression Classification
  5. From The Art of Data Science by Roger D. Peng

    Python was developed by a computer scientist, and it can be used by programmers to apply statistical techniques.”

    enough memory to open the image, or the image may have been corrupted. Restart your computer, and then open the file again. If the red x still appears, you may have to delete the image and then insert it again. The image cannot be displayed.

  9. But the most important thing is to keep on learning.

    Not just for a few months, but for years. Every Saturday, you will have a choice between staying at home and reading research papers/implementing algorithms, vs. watching TV. If you spend all Saturday working, there probably won't be any short-term reward, and your current boss won't even know or say "nice work." Also, after that Saturday of hard work, you're not actually that much better at machine learning. But here's the secret: If you do this not just for one weekend, but instead study consistently for a year, then you will become very good. There's a lot of demand today for ML people; once you get a job in ML, your learning will only accelerate further. Andrew Ng, Chief Scientist at Baidu; !
