What is a Data Science course? What is Data science meaning?

In its simplest form, Data science is the study of raw data to extract meaningful information and insights from the same.

It involves developing methods of recording, storing, and analyzing data to effectively extract useful information. The goal of data science is to gain insights and knowledge from any type of data — both structured and unstructured.

Data Science helps humans make better decisions; either quicker decisions or better decisions.

Is Data science in demand? What are some of the top data science applications?

Data science is the hottest technology in present times and it does not look like it is about to change any time soon.

Some common data science applications and deliverables are:

  • Prediction (predict a value based on inputs)
  • Classification (e.g., spam or not spam)
  • Recommendations (e.g., Amazon and Netflix recommendations)
  • Pattern detection and grouping (e.g., classification without known classes)
  • Anomaly detection (e.g., fraud detection)
  • Recognition (image, text, audio, video, facial, …)
  • Actionable insights (via dashboards, reports, visualizations, …)
  • Automated processes and decision-making (e.g., credit card approval)
  • Scoring and ranking (e.g., FICO score)
  • Segmentation (e.g., demographic-based marketing)
  • Optimization (e.g., risk management)
  • Forecasts (e.g., sales and revenue)
  • Each of these is intended to address a specific goal and/or solve a specific problem.

and more.

Who is a data scientist?

Data scientists are the people who gather huge “lakes” of information and then use their expertise and algorithms they have developed to extract specific information that a user wants.

A data scientist is someone who knows how to extract meaning from and interpret data, which requires both tools and methods from statistics and machine learning, as well as being human.

- Carlson Gonsalves

Goa's only Data Science Course!

Enjoyed the way Santosh makes ridiculous concepts sound like a piece of cake. He made sure to go the extra mile to cover all necessary, beyond the scope of the course. Learning online is not everyone's cup of tea. Glad I found this team and could plan a solid career foundation with their help!

- Samiksha Anvodkar

Strongly Recommended!

A course with the right balance of information & complexity. It was slightly irritating to have the instructor strongly pull us towards hands-on exercises all the time. Towards the end of the course, the true value of learning by doing dawned on us as a group. Learning is way easier when you focus on doing and less on knowledge. Thanks Dwayne!
