➔ In 2010, Li & Fung, a firm that manages
supply chains for retailers, saw 100
gigabytes of information flow through its
network each day
➔ According to one estimate, mankind
created 150 exabytes (billion gigabytes) of
data in 2005.
Before 2017
➔ For every day of 2017 about 2.5 Exabytes
of data are being produced.
➔ We perform 3.5 searches per day and 1.2
trillion searches per year, each having its’
own store in a database somewhere.

Technical Definition of a Data Scientist :
➔ The data scientist role is an offshoot of the Statician role that includes the use of advanced analytics
technologies, including machine learning and predictive modeling to provide insights beyond statistical
analysis.
➔ It’s a role often said to be someone who knows Statistics more than a Software Developer and knows
Software development more than a statistician

Editor's Notes

  • #3 As a Data Scientist, the first question that should pop up in your mind with this statistics is What are all the data used for How do we make sense of the Data What procedure is used to achieve whatever the data is used for When is data usually collected and what is the process of collection. Notice in your task as a potential Data Scientist that their is a revolving word “data” there
  • #4 This is data generated over wireless in the 2 years compared. And all these are potential points for analysis.
  • #6 Understanding and Targeting Customers - Social media Data, Browser Logs, Sensor Data, Clicks, Web searches Understanding and Optimizing Business process - Logistic management, web search trends, Improving Employee performance Personal Qualification and Performance Opimization - Consider wearables, sleep monitoring apps. Improving healthcare and public health - Decode DNA Strings, Predict disease patterns Improve Sport Performance - Using video analytics to track team performance Improving Science and Research - Census Data, experimental data Optimizing machine and device performance - Self driving cars, gps data, and sensor data Improving Security and Law Enforcement - detect and prevent Cyber attack Improving and Optimizing Cities and Countries Financial Trading
  • #9 Your work as a Data Scientis is a pick up any Data set and turn it into something meaningful. Combine, process and reprocess data until it says something.
  • #11 This is the reason we are making the class a contributory one because we deliberately faced the reality that Data Science is not a skill you can learn all in 12 Weeks and we don’t want you to be alone after the 12 weeks. It’s all this aspet that we will try and guide you through as much as we can.
