What is data science?

Data is everywhere. From the moment you type something in the search bar of any search engine, you are generating data. Just think, about how many times you visited your social media accounts today, who you texted, what you bought from your favorite online store, or just did window shopping; and what about the eating hotspots you search almost every day? Every time you get online, you are generating data. Every day a massive amount of data is generated and do you know what is done with all this data? All this data is used by companies to gather insights and develop tailored solutions both for the company and the end user. 

This is what data science is all about. Data Science is referred to the bigger picture, where data scientists with the help of data science, develop tools and solutions to analyze, harness and utilize data, which is then used by data analysts to perform data-related operations. Many people often confuse both profiles and interchangeably use them, however, data science includes all the aspects of data processing, including the collection of data, modeling data, and insights. While data analytics mainly focuses on mathematics, statistics, and statistical analysis; data science is related to the whole data environment of an organization.  

Now let’s take a look into the roles and responsibilities of a data scientist: 

With the help of data science, data scientists can devise machine learning models. Data scientist responsibilities commonly overlap with those of a data analyst, however, a data scientist’s skillset is usually broader than the average data analyst, as a data scientist can leverage programming languages, such as Python and R, to perform more data visualization and statistical inference. 

To perform all such tasks, data scientists should have come from the computer science domain and understand the specifics of the business. Here are a few things that a data scientist should be able to do: 

• Have clear knowledge about the business to be able to ask appropriate questions and identify business pain points.
• Use computer science and statistics, along with business insight, for data analysis.
• Should be able to use tools and techniques to prepare and extract data, such as databases, SQL, data mining, and data integration methods.
• Extracting insights from big data utilizing predictive analytics and artificial intelligence (AI), along with machine learning models, deep learning, and natural language processing.
• Write programs to automate data calculations and processing.
• Be able to tell as well as illustrate stories to convey the meaning of results to stakeholders and decision-makers at every stage of technical understanding.
• Describe how the results help to solve business problems.
• Work with other data science team members, including IT architects, data and business analysts, application developers, and data engineers.
