Demystifying Data Science
We all know the description of the Data Scientist being “The Sexiest Job of the 21st Century”, but do you have a clear understanding of what Data Science actually is? Chiin and Alice Daish are at this month's LBAG to help us find the answer!
In this talk, Data Science practitioners Alice and Chiin will present experience-based insights that enable clarity about this undoubtedly red hot but nebulous trend, by sharing coherent definitions, frameworks, and facts that help clear up some of the key areas of confusion. They will outline their view of Data Science best-practices, common misconceptions, pitfalls, and practical tips for those looking to make a career transition. This talk will ultimately deliver awareness about the reality of the Data Science profession, and help demystify the hype.
