The Data Science Persona
Math and Stats
Mathematical skills,
mostly involved with
statistics, algebra, and
some calc.
The Data
Scientist
The ideal data scientist
has skills from all three
domains!

6. Fetch
Fetch your data from single
or disparate sources.
Clean
Clean your data to prepare it
for analysis. For example,
eliminate null values, add
missing data.
Prepare
Data selection,
preprocessing, and
transformations.
Visualizations help, too.
Deploy and Monitor
Operationalize your Model
and monitor. Don’t be afraid
to challenge your models.
Evaluate
Select the best performing
model. Establish a common
performance metric!
Train Model
Train your model based on
supervised, semi supervised,
or unsupervised learning
techniques.

“When you hear the term deep learning, just think of a large
deep neural net. Deep refers to the number of layers typically
and so this kind of the popular term that’s been adopted in the
press. I think of them as deep neural networks generally.”
Jeff Dean

Some Deep Learning Innovations ...
Automatic feature extraction from raw data, also called feature
learning.

Deep Learning (cont.)
1. Input a set of training examples
2. For each training example xx, set corresponding input
activation and:
a. Feedforward
b. Output error
c. Backpropagate the error
3. Gradient descent

Key
Takeaways
You can’t get around the data
munging, for now, anyway.
Deep Learning is used mostly for
supervised learning problems
Automating the ML and DL
pipelines are important
Data science is a team effort
A.I. doesn’t exist yet. But it’s less
of a mouth full.
