- 7. On Data Science “What differentiates data science from statistics is that data science is a holistic approach. We’re increasingly finding data in the wild, and data scientists are involved with gathering data, massaging it into a tractable form, making it tell its story, and presenting that story to others.” The first step of any data analysis project is “data conditioning,” or getting data into a state where it’s usable.
- 8. On Data Science The most meaningful definition I’ve heard: “big data” is when the size of the data itself becomes part of the problem. The need to define a schema in advance conflicts with reality of multiple, unstructured data sources, in which you may not know what’s important until after you’ve analyzed the data.
- 9. On Data Science Data scientists … come up with new ways to view the problem, or to work with very broadly defined problems: “here’s a lot of data, what can you make from it?” The future belongs to the companies who figure out how to collect and use data successfully. …and the scientists?

- 46. Reflections on requirements Stability – the existence of content in an accessible (and hopefully the same) format over time Science requires Consistency: consistently re-code the same data in the same way over a period of time Reproducibility: the tendency for a group of coders to classify categories membership in the same way Accuracy: or the extent to which the classification of a text corresponds to a standard or norm statistically. Validity correspondence of the categories to the conclusions, avoiding ambiguity and addressing multiple possible classifications Proof: trust in the inferential procedures and clarity of what level of implication is allowed. i.e. do the conclusions follow from the data or are they explainable due to some other phenomenon Generalizability of results to a theory Cross-setting comparative interventions

Editor's Notes
- #24 Define serious and casual daters Serious: Looking for a long term partner Casual: Looking for short-term or one-time encounters Industry assumptions: Division between “ serious ” and “ casual ” daters in terms of what they ’ d pay for and the effort they put in Interviews were semi-structured, asking people to talk about the experience of planning and going on dates after only communicating online. Focusing on the work of dating -- the management of schedules, choosing locations, dealing with unexpected delays in traffic, handling anxiety.
