What is Data Science?

To understand better lets split this into Data and Science

Data: Qualitative or Quantitative measures describing a process, event or entity

Science: Systematic study of structure and nature of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment

Data Science

“Systematic study of structure and nature of the physical and natural world using qualitative and quantitative measures describing object under study”.

Alternate Definition:

Finding solution to Business/Social problems using data generated by an entity and its environment.

Key Idea: Solution to most of the problems is hidden within problem itself.

What is Machine Learning?

Machine Learning is all about learning from past experience to make effective future decisions.

It is an interdisciplinary field, where we need expertise from different areas to build an impactful solution. In an idealistic scenario intermediatory knowledge on computer science, maths/statistics and domain is must to develop an effective Machine Learning solution.

ML

Machine Learning can be further categorized under three heads:

  1. Supervised Learning
  2. Unsupervised Learning
  3. Reinforcement Learning

What is Data Mining?

Data Mining and Machine Learning are very closely linked

AI - ML - Data Mining
