@IBMcloud #cloudchat
A9: Every important data-sci decision--what data,what variables, what
affinities, what questions etc--is intution-based
@IBMcloud #cloudchat
A9: All good scientists frame hypotheses frm educated hunches/intution grounded
in, but not chained 2, past observation
@IBMcloud #cloudchat
A8: A data journalist & data scientist R fundamentally same: build
interpretive model (aka "story") based on facts/data
@IBMcloud #cloudchat
A8: Nonfictional storytelling--aka "narrative" building--is essential
in business 4 framing problem approach & outcomes
@IBMcloud #cloudchat
A8: "Newspaper"? What's that? Digital journalists increasingly
beefing up skillsets 4 statistical/visual storytelling
@ajbowles @cahaikes #cloudchat
A7: Tomorrow's data scientists will pool expertise in opensource on-demand mkts
bidding on competitive prizes
@ajbowles @cahaikes #cloudchat
A7: Tomorrow's data scientists will have powerful collaboration environments
enabling powerful co-modeling
@ajbowles @cahaikes #cloudchat
A7: Closer to today, tomorrow's data sci will "factory" automate most
data prep model govnance & deploy tasks
@IBMcloud #cloudchat
A7: Tomorrow (e.g., 22nd century) data-sci'll have zettabyte-scale memory grids
& quantm computng 4 awesome horsepower
@tinagroves @IBMcloud #cloudchat
A5: Speaking of "data-driven journalism" & relevance to dat-sci,
see my recent blog: http://ibm.co/YQfIOV
@ChrisTheAnalyst @IBMcloud #cloudchat
A5: Right. Basic stat & probability learned in college is fundamental,
though not sufficient skill.
@hfryman #cloudchat
A6: Yes. "richer sources of data" is the same as "all relevant
data."
@IBMcloud #cloudchat
A6: Up&coming data-sci needs MapReduce & R skills. Also couldn't hurt 2
NOT forget core SQL skills: the lingua franca
@ideasattjw #cloudchat
A4: No. Simply need right data & right stat modling approch 2 do effective
analysis. Dont always need big honkin data
@ibmcloud #cloudchat
A4: 1) no specific cred perfectly suited 2 all data-sci scenarios 2) creds may
B unnecessary if have core aptitudes
@IBMcloud #cloudchat
A4: No "best" path. There are many valid paths: credentialed or
uncredentialed, quantitative or analyst background
@IBMcloud #cloudchat
A4: I addressed issue of data-sci credentials here (http://ibm.co/10wxQz2 )
& curriculum here (http://ibm.co/10wwvrX )
@NeilRaden @tinagroves #cloudchat:
A3: Yes. You don't need "big" data to do data science. Just need
data, analytics, skills, tools, smarts
@hmason @NeilRaden #cloudchat
A3: And for good reason: "quants" are just stat analysts. A good
physicist is quant+ (physics) domain expert
@IBMcloud #cloudchat
A3: Best data scientists should have both the stat/predictive analysis skills
and subject-matter domain expertise.
@IBMcloud #cloudchat
A3: Cloud understanding not directly relevant to data science. Clouds are
simply data platforms. Not exploration tools
@IBMcloud #cloudchat
A3: Basic skills of data scientists are discussed in my blog: http://ibm.co/10wwvrX
@NeilRaden @tinagroves A2: Mathematicians are
curious about patterns within number systems. Not necessarily in patterns
within empirical sys
@tinagroves @NeilRaden A2: Mathematical or
statistical skills alone aren't data science. Not unless used to find patterns
in empirical data
@NeilRaden #cloudchat
A2: Wall Street "quants" are applied data scientists: statistical
& predictive analysts who build+test empirical modls
@IBMcloud #cloudchat
A2: Many social-scientific fields (e..g, econometrics, epidemiology) are built
data scientific (stat anal) methods
@IBMcloud #cloudchat
A2: Data scientists key to confirming many "pure" science discoveries
(e.g, Higgs Boson) that demand adv data analytics
@IBMcloud #cloudchat
A2: Business-oriented data scientists find variables driving customer behavior,
supply chain interactions, etc
@IBMcloud #cloudchat
A1: Data scientist is scientist: building & testing models through
(statistically) controlled observation of empir data
@IBMcloud #cloudchat A1:
"Data scientist" is nouveau term encompassing diverse functions: stat
analysis, predictive modl, data mining, etc
@IBMcloud #cloudchat
A1: A "number cruncher of the past" is any1 doing stat analysis
(e.g., in spreadsheet) where patterns may be on surface
@IBMcloud #cloudchat
A1: A data scientist uses statistical analysis to uncover non-obvious patterns
in data sets.
