We've been taught that "data science" is the esoteric domain of PhDs,
but like anything else, it's easy once you understand it. This talk
explains the basics of data science, covering concepts in supervised
learning (including a detailed explanation of decision trees and
random forests) as well as examples of unsupervised learning
algorithms. Far from being a dry and academic topic, data science and machine learning are useful and practical analytical tools. (This talk is intended for a general audience.)
Topics will include:
1) An introduction to supervised learning using the popular decision
tree algorithm
2) The concepts of training and scoring, and the meaning of "real time"
machine learning
3) Model validation using holdout sets
4) Model complexity and overfitting; understanding bias and variance;
using ensembles to reduce variance
5) An overview of unsupervised learning models including clustering,
topic modeling and anomaly detection
and more!

1. Shopkick has over 30M downloads, but the userbase is very heterogeneous. Anecdotal evidence indicated a wide variety of users for whom the app holds long-term appeal.
2. Marketing and other teams challenged Analytics to get beyond basic summary statistics and develop a holistic segmentation of the userbase.
3. Shopkick's data science team used SQL and python to gather data, clean data, and then perform a data-driven segmentation using a k-means algorithm.
4. Interpreting the results is more work -- and more fun -- than running the algo itself. We'll discuss how we transform from ""segment 1"", ""segment 2"", etc. to something that non-analytics users (Marketing, Operations, etc.) could actually benefit from.
5. So what? How did team across Shopkick change their approach given what Analytics had discovered.

Data wrangling is the process of removing errors and combining complex data sets to make them more accessible and easier to analyze. Due to the rapid expansion of the amount of data and data sources available today, storing and organizing large quantities of data for analysis is becoming increasingly necessary.Data wrangling is the process of removing errors and combining complex data sets to make them more accessible and easier to analyze.

Data exploration, also known as exploratory data analysis (EDA), is the initial step in the data analysis process. It involves examining and understanding the characteristics, patterns, and relationships within a dataset to gain insights and guide further analysis. Data exploration helps in identifying trends, outliers, missing values, and potential problems in the data.
Here are some key aspects of data exploration:
Descriptive Statistics: Descriptive statistics summarize and describe the main characteristics of the dataset. This includes measures such as mean, median, mode, standard deviation, minimum, maximum, and quartiles. Descriptive statistics provide a high-level overview of the data distribution, central tendencies, and variability.
Data Visualization: Data visualization techniques, such as plots, charts, and graphs, help in visually representing the data to identify patterns, trends, and relationships. Common visualizations include histograms, scatter plots, box plots, bar charts, and heatmaps. Visualization allows for a better understanding of the data and can reveal hidden insights that may not be apparent from raw numbers alone.
Data Cleaning and Preprocessing: Data exploration involves assessing the quality and integrity of the dataset. It includes handling missing values, dealing with outliers, correcting data inconsistencies, and addressing other data quality issues. Data cleaning and preprocessing ensure that the dataset is suitable for further analysis.
Feature Exploration: In data exploration, it is important to understand the individual features (variables) within the dataset. This includes examining the distributions, ranges, and potential relationships between features. It can involve analyzing continuous variables, categorical variables, or a combination of both.
Correlation Analysis: Data exploration often involves exploring the correlations between variables. Correlation analysis helps identify relationships and dependencies between different features in the dataset. It provides insights into which variables may be related and can guide further analysis or modeling.
Hypothesis Generation: During data exploration, researchers or analysts may generate hypotheses or formulate initial assumptions about the data. These hypotheses can guide further analysis and provide a starting point for hypothesis testing or more in-depth investigations.
Data exploration is an iterative process that informs subsequent analysis steps, such as modeling, hypothesis testing, and predictive analytics. It helps in identifying important variables, selecting appropriate analysis techniques, and ensuring the validity and reliability of the data.
Exploratory data analysis is crucial in understanding the characteristics of the dataset, uncovering insights, and making informed decisions based on the data. It allows researchers, analysts, and data scientists to gain a comprehensive understanding of the data and formulate appropriate strategies
Coding qualitative data for non-researchersKelley Howell
We were pleasantly surprised by the success of a Net Promoter Survey. Thus, our good problem to have was: a lot more qualitative data to sift through than we expected. Our contingency plan was to gather product managers, interns, and analysts and teach them how to code (label) qualitative data. We did this by running two "war room" session. We grabbed our laptops and tackled the coding all together in two day-long sustained sessions.
The outcome of the Academy Award for Best Picture surprised us all. But, could that have been predicted?

How to Become a Data Science Company instead of a company with Data Scientist...Ruth Kearney
The journey of becoming a data science company is more about the culture and thinking, rather than hiring and up-skilling individuals. In Novartis, while we are hiring data scientists and spending a lot of time in training and learning related to data science, the destination for us is one of cultural change, which is required to make us a data science company.
Head of the AI Hub Dublin, Ashwini Mathur will share practical insights into the Novartis journey and how each employee plays a part. He will talk about the value of using the language of data science throughout the organisation and how this takes them one step closer to becoming a data science company.

Data Communities - reusable data in and outside your organization.Paul Groth
Description
Data is a critical both to facilitate an organization and as a product. How can you make that data more usable for both internal and external stakeholders? There are a myriad of recommendations, advice, and strictures about what data providers should do to facilitate data (re)use. It can be overwhelming. Based on recent empirical work (analyzing data reuse proxies at scale, understanding data sensemaking and looking at how researchers search for data), I talk about what practices are a good place to start for helping others to reuse your data. I put this in the context of the notion data communities that organizations can use to help foster the use of data both within your organization and externally.

The Simulacrum imitates some of the data held securely by the Public Health England’s National Cancer Registration and Analysis Service.
The data in the Simulacrum is entirely artificial. It does not contain data about real patients, so users can never identify a real person. It is free to use and allows anyone who wants to use record-level cancer data to do so, safe in the knowledge that while the data feels like the real thing, there is no danger of breaching patient confidentiality.

How to Answer the Most Important Question In Your Interviewideatoipo
Recorded on March 20, 2024
,
In a competitive job market, landing an interview is one of the biggest challenges for job seekers. However, once you find yourself in a face-to-face interview with a hiring manager, how do you come across as the best candidate for the position?
Job interviews are all about diffusing risk. After all, a company would never post a role unless it knew it absolutely needed someone who could help them get to the next level. By chatting with prospects, the hiring manager can get an idea of existing talent on the market and what they can provide.
That's why knowing what's at stake is critical to any job you apply for. Outside of being collaborative, being technical, and having your personal stories down, knowing what matters to your bosses, colleagues, and the industry at large are key to being successful.
Learn how you can know what's at stake in your job search and learn to tell a story in your interviews that help you stand out in this webinar from Albert Qian, founder of Albert's List. Over the past 11 years, Albert's List has connected more than 50,000 job seekers, recruiters, and hiring managers to improve career outcomes.
In this video, Albert covers how you answer the most important question in your interviews, including:
Where you can go to research what's at stake for the companies you're interviewing at.
How knowing what's at stake sets you apart from the competition.
How you can use what's at stake as a part of your job interview.
Answers that stand out—and answers that will not get you to the next round.
Ongoing job search trends and where to look for your next opportunity.
Resources that can be used as job seekers conduct their job hunt.

Top Ten Legal Mistakes That Could Doom Your Startupideatoipo
Presented Thursday February 8, 2024
In this video, Silicon Valley attorney Roger Royse, partner at the law firm of Haynes and Boone LLP, summarizes the most common legal mistakes that startup companies and their lawyers make and how to avoid making those mistakes. Some of those mistakes can be rectified, but many will result in your startup company being "dead on arrival" when it comes time for funding or acquisition opportunities. Knowing what those mistakes are and how to avoid them is essential to starting and building a successful company.
Roger discusses those unique issues as well as the sometimes surprising and ever-evolving California rules, including:
1. Corporate formation and choice of entity and law;
2. Securities laws;
3. Labor and employment and why virtually every startup in California is probably out of compliance and what you can do about it;
4. Intellectual property strategies using patent, trademark and trade secret;
5. Protecting your business through agreements;
6. Protecting the founders from personal liability;
7. and more!
Roger draws on more than 30 years of startup experience in describing how to manage legal risk on a startup budget.

How to Recession-Proof Your Job Search in 2024ideatoipo
The news might say that the job market is healthy, but look around and anything but. Just look at some of the latest headlines:
Unity announced a layoff of 25% of their staff.
Duolingo, citing AI, cut most of their translation contractors.
Google, believing that its AI is ready to sell better than human beings, is about to re-organize 30,000 employees.
More than 425,000 tech workers have been laid off since the beginning of 2022.
Banking firms, noting higher interest rates and industry consolidation, cut 20,000 workers in 2023.
Even though 2024 promises to be a better year, uncertainty continues to reign. A combination of geopolitical conflicts, presidential elections, high inflation, and corporate uncertainty threatens to undo the post-pandemic recovery, sending workers down yet another roller coaster.

3. Finding meaningful patterns in data
• The famous “Iris” data set has measurements for 150 flowers
• Given a flower’s measurements, can we predict its species?
Iris setosa Iris versicolor Iris virginica

Congratulations! You just scored
four new flowers using your model,
and made a prediction about the
species of each one.

8. Training versus Scoring
• This process had two steps: training and scoring
• When training on historical data, you’re using data gathered over
some length of time
• When scoring new data points, you want the answer immediately
(in “real time”)

Predicts “blue” with high confidence
Explains a large chunk of the data
(high support)
Predicts “blue” with low confidence
Explains a small chunk of the data
(low support)
10. Support and Confidence
• A rectangle with a large number of data points has high “support”
• A rectangle that is purely one color has high “confidence”
• If there is a small number of data points, confidence is low even if
it’s purely one color

12. • Data is just a table of values
• Each row is an instance, an example
of the concept to be learned
• Each column is an attribute or
feature of the instance
• The column we want to predict is the
label or output
• Because we have a label, this is
supervised learning
14

13. Demo: The General Social Survey
• Sociology survey given in the United States since 1972
• Data is 39,000 responses, almost 400 questions each
• Demographic data like income, race, gender, education, marital status
• Many questions about personal beliefs
• “Should an atheist be allowed to teach college, or not?”
• “Are we spending the right amount of money on education?”
• Can we predict income from these responses?

14. How good is our model?
• The model looks good, but how do we quantify this?

1. Train a model using
80% training set
2. Pretend 20% holdout
is new data, and
feed it to the model
3. Check accuracy of
predictions
16. Predicting political views
• What happens if we predict political views instead of income?
• A different subset of variables becomes important!
19
20. The Value of Predictive Modeling
• Provides deep insight into your data
• Finds the small subset of important variables
• Extremely useful for business!
23
21. Demo: The StumbleUpon Dataset
• StumbleUpon is an app that recommends web pages
• Dataset of 7,400 web pages is provided, with each page labeled as
either “evergreen” or “ephemeral”
• We want to predict the page’s class using this historical data
24
While some pages we recommend, such as news
articles or seasonal recipes, are only relevant for a
short period of time, others maintain a timeless
quality and can be recommended to users long after
they are discovered. In other words, pages can
either be classified as "ephemeral" or "evergreen".
22. Training a model on StumbleUpon data
• Live demo: training a model on StumbleUpon data
• Key concepts:
• “Bag of words” text analysis
• Evaluating the model using a holdout set
• Combining multiple models to improve accuracy
• The “ensemble” of multiple models has better accuracy!
25
23. “Ensembles” of Models
• Training multiple models on random subsets of the data gave us a
better result!
• Why?
26
24. Bias and Variance
• We train a model with the goal of fitting it correctly to the data
• When a model isn’t flexible enough, it may underfit the data, and we
say it has high bias
• When a model is too flexible, it may overfit the data, and we say it
has high variance
For a formal definition of bias and variance, see
Thomas Dietterich’s paper on the subject
27. Decision trees have high variance
• Decision trees can represent complex functions
• But they are prone to overfitting; they have high variance
• If you draw enough lines, you can create a “model” that just
memorizes the dataset!
28.
29. Decision trees have high variance
• We can reduce this problem by:
• Taking several random samples from the original data set
• Training a decision tree on each sample
• Having these trees vote on the class
• Goal: Get the expressiveness of a decision tree, with less overfitting
37. Benefits of a Decision Tree Ensemble
• Voted boundary is more accurate than for a single tree
• “Best of both worlds”: Get most of the expressiveness of decision
trees with lower variance
• We’re actually taking advantage of the variance by feeding a different
random sample to each tree and seeing what happens!
46
38. Why draw straight lines in decision trees?
• Imagine you have 400 variables in your dataset
• You only need to examine 400 variables to draw
the “best” straight line between the dots
• If you want a diagonal line in two dimensions,
there are (400 choose 2) or 79,800
combinations of variables to examine
• Some biology datasets have 100,000 variables!
• (100,000 choose 2) = 4,999,950,000
combinations of 2 variables!
47
39. Popular algorithms for supervised learning
• We got pretty deep into Decision Trees and ensembles of trees
• Other popular algorithms for supervised learning:
• Support Vector Machines
• Neural Nets (“Deep Learning”)
• Check out BigML’s automated deep learning!
50
40. Recap: Supervised Learning Topics
• Definition of supervised learning
• Training and scoring a model
• Support and confidence
• Model evaluation using a holdout set
• Bias and variance, underfitting and overfitting
• Using ensembles to improve models
• … And a whole lot about decision trees!
51
42. What if we don’t have labels?
• Can we still get insight into our data if we don’t know the
colors of the dots?
• Since we don’t have labels, this is unsupervised learning
• Clustering: Find “clumps” of unlabeled data that might be interesting
• Anomaly detection: Find outliers in unlabeled data
• Topic Modeling: Identify topics in free text
54
43. Clustering
• Concept: Find “lumps” of data that exist in distinct clusters
• K-means clustering:
1. Choose a number of clusters k that you are looking for
2. Choose initial “centroids” for the clusters
3. Compute which data points are closest to each centroid
4. Compute the actual center for each of the sets of datapoints
5. Continue until the k centroids stop moving

57. Demo: The Whisky Dataset
• Data on the flavors of 86 single-malt Scotch whiskies
• No labels, just a bunch of taste information
• Can we get insight into this dataset?
69
58. Demo: Breast Cancer Dataset
• Train a predictive model using the 699 biopsies
• The “label” of benign or malignant is known for each one
• We can train a highly accurate predictive model with this
data
74
59. Demo: Breast Cancer Dataset
• What if we remove the labels of “benign” and “malignant”?
75
60. 10 lines are needed
to isolate this data point
(not anomalous)
61. Only 4 lines are needed
to isolate this data point
(highly anomalous)
62. Demo: Anomaly Detection
• Remove the labels of benign or malignant
• Train an anomaly detector on this unlabeled data
• Create a new dataset with the anomaly scores as “labels”
• Use these “labels” to train a predictive model!
78
64. Minority Report
• Anomaly detection works great on large unlabeled datasets,
especially if you expect to find an (adversarial) minority class
• Millions of credit card transactions, billions of network events …
• Doesn’t require you to know what you’re looking for!
81
65. Topic Modeling using LDA
• Uncovers groups of related words (“topics”) in documents
• Does not require an external corpus (e.g. training on Wikipedia)
• No semantic parsing of text
• Unsupervised
69. The (assumed) generative process
children
A topic, which is a
distribution over words
A distribution over topics,
specific to each document
A distribution over
topic distributions,
fixed for this corpus
A word
in a document
Topic 1
Topic 3 Topic 2
A distribution over
word distributions,
fixed for this corpus
Word 1
Word 2Word 3
76. How do we get such “good” topics?
• Imagine that each document can only belong to one topic
• Does that make it easier or harder to find “good” clusters of words?
• LDA allows documents to belong to multiple topics
77. Recap: Unsupervised Learning Topics
• Unsupervised learning uses unlabeled data
• Clustering: Finding clumps in unlabeled data
• Anomaly Detection: Finding “weird” instances in unlabeled data
• Topic Modeling: Extracting meaningful topics from free text
94
78. Final Thought
• Supervised learning has many different algorithms to solve one
problem (predicting the output)
• Unsupervised learning has a many different algorithms to solve many
different problems
