Synopsis

It has never been easier for organizations to gather, store, and process data. Use of data science is driven by the rise of big data and social media, the development of high-performance computing, and the emergence of such powerful methods for data analysis and modeling as deep learning. Data science encompasses a set of principles, problem definitions, algorithms, and processes for extracting non-obvious and useful patterns from large datasets. It is closely related to the fields of data mining and machine learning, but broader in scope. This book offers a brief history of the field, introduces fundamental data concepts, and describes the stages in a data science project. It considers data infrastructure and the challenges posed by integrating data from multiple sources, introduces the basics of machine learning, and discusses how to link machine learning expertise with real-world problems. The book also reviews ethical and legal issues, developments in data regulation, and computational approaches to preserving privacy. Finally, it considers the future impact of data science and offers principles for success in data science projects.

Reviews

Not technical enough. No examples of code or even pseudocode. Basically, this is an elementary intro to DS. A very accessible one, mind it, which is a rare-ish attribute. Still, the book definitely could have done with more depth.......more

Esto me pasa muy seguido en las li......more

Goodreads review by Justin

I think a more clear title to this book would be "Introduction to Data Science". While one may be able to infer that, it was definitely written for an audience that knows very little about what Data Science is and is looking to have a general overview. For that, I felt the book did a very good job.......more
