Good and Bad in Data Science

 

David J. Hand reminds us: “The world is bigger and more complex than you can imagine.” This makes it both difficult and critical to be clear about the questions we ask and the criteria we use to answer them.

Whether you’re using data science to extract understanding (which is often the objective of scientific discovery) or to build operational systems (for instance, process optimization or fraud detection), Hand’s talk provides a relevant overview of what successful data science requires.

He gives many examples of the strengths and potential pitfalls of data science, covering such topics as:

  • The nature of data science.
  • What data science requires.
  • The two sides of data science – big picture versus small picture.
