What is Data Science?

Data is everywhere around us. There are more electronic communication devices on this earth than ever. Each of these devices produce millions of data every single day. It becomes essential in such a situation to find a way to harness that data to take forward business opportunities and make predictions for the future of an organization. Data Science is the collection, classification and analysis of data for the purpose of understanding the consumer needs and requirements, to find the underlying patterns in the creation of data and optimizing business strategies. 

Thanks to the rapid generation of data and the need for making sense of it all, data scientists are in huge demand right now. Their particular skill set makes them the prized unicorn that can help an organization make important marketing decisions. In New York, companies like Amazon Web Services, Google, Morgan Stanley, Macy’s, Defined Clarity, Liquidnet, Spotify, Bowery Valuation, etc. are looking for data scientists to help them make sense of their data. Due to the versatility of data use, there evolves various ways in which becoming a Data Science professional can have its advantages:

  • Organizations are relying on data-driven decision making.
  • Since the need for well qualified Data scientists is disproportionately going up in relation to the number of professional Data scientists out there, the tech companies are paying high salaries to the qualified professionals in this field.
  • As the rate of data generation is increasing the need to analyze those data at an equally high rate is demanded. Data scientists can help companies make crucial decisions by providing their findings from segregating raw data.

Data Science is a lucrative opportunity not only for the industrial or commercial sector to increase their business but also for the employees in those sectors.

New York is the home of several institutions that offer Master’s degree in Data Science including Syracuse University, Clarkson University, Columbia University, Cornell University, Cuny Bernard M Baruch College, Fordham University, Icahn School of Medicine, Keller Graduate School of Management, Manhattan College, Marist College, New York Institute of Technology, New York University, Pace University, Pratt Institute – Main, Rochester Institute of Technology, St. John’s University, University of Buffalo, University of Rochester, etc. These programs will help you acquire all the technical skills required to become a Data Scientist.

It is one of the most popular data computation and sharing platforms with the only difference from Hadoop being that Apache Spark is faster than Hadoop. While Hadoop reads and writes to the disk, Apache Spark creates caches of its computation in the system memory. Apache Spark is the effective way of running data science algorithms faster. It helps in the faster dissemination of processed data while making handling of unstructured data set easier. It also diminishes the loss of data and is a faster alternative making it easier for data scientists to carry out projects.
  1. Data Visualization: Visualization tools like d3.js, ggplot, Tableau and matplotlib help data scientists visualize data. Complex data obtained from performing processes on data sets needs to be transformed into easy formats that can be comprehended by data scientists. Data visualization enables organizations to work directly with the obtained data. The knowledge and outcome obtained from a particular data can be directly used on new data.

  1. Unstructured data: These are the contents that are not labelled and organized into database values like videos, social media posts, audio samples, customer reviews, blog posts etc. Data scientists need to work with such unstructured data.

Below are 5 behavioral traits needed to become a successful data scientist:

  • Always asking ‘why’: To work as a data scientist one needs to deal with a massive amount of data on a daily basis. For that one needs to have an insatiable hunger for knowledge to keep going.
  • Clarity of concept: Organized curiosity of what is going on around you and ‘why’ and ‘what’ you need to do is essential. Whether cleaning data or writing code, one should have clarity of thought of what needs to be done and why. 
  • Having a creative mind: Creativity is absolutely essential for any form of work, whether it is visualizing data, developing new tools or new modeling features. Being aware of what is missing and what needs to be done when faced with a problem is necessary to get the right results. 

  • Not getting carried away with our beliefs: One of the perils of creativity and a successful data scientist is getting carried away with your own creativity and confidence. Skepticism keeps a data scientist in check and rationalizes the creative mind to find the right solution and not get attached to its own invention. 

Today, almost every industry collects data from customers. This has caused an increase in demand for data scientists who can use their skills to make sense of this data. In New York, there are several organizations that are looking for data scientists to join their team including Hearst Magazines, A+E Networks, Honcker Inc., Dow Jones, Citizen, AdTheorent, Disney Streaming Services, Viacom, Legends, Milliman, Conde Nast, Reorg Research, WeWork, The CARIAN Group, Dow Jones, Legends Hospitality, Element Global Search, T. Rowe Price, YouTube, CBS, London Stock Exchange Group, AIG, Otis Wealth, ViaVan, Ocrolus, etc. When more than half of the world’s population is using something you are an expert in there will be benefits to it.

  1. Highest paying job: Becoming a certified data scientist needs a lot of training and hard work, thus the pay has to be proportionate to the work put into it. There is a high demand for data scientists but a limited number of trained professionals out there. Hence data scientists get one of the highest salaries in the IT sector today.

Thus, by the time you become an expert you will probably have a Master’s or a PhD which will help you to receive offers to become a lecturer or a researcher at governmental as well as private institutions.
  1. Mobility: One of the greatest perks of being a data scientist is the freedom to work wherever, whenever. Working with a technology that is used in almost all the sectors provides data scientists the flexibility to work in any projects that interests you. You are not tied to your work and you can work in any industry of your choice.
  1. Networking: Being involved in the tech world by publishing research papers in international journals, attending conference will expand your interaction with people in the industry. You can get referrals from such networks.

  1. Security: Everyday there are new technologies coming up and disappearing without making any significant mark. This is not the case with data science. Data science is an ever evolving field which will always need professionals who know how to adapt and develop their own skills in various scenarios. Thus, any one with even the basic idea of data science will have job security in the long term.

Qualifications and Skill Sets of Data Scientists

  1. Analytic problem solving: To find a solution, you need to be aware of all the strategies and have a clear perspective to reach the right solution.

Some of the most successful companies in the world rely on data science for their business growth. Google, Amazon ,Facebook or Twitter have the highest rate of employing data scientists. In such a scenario what should you do to get ahead of your peers? Below, are the  steps you should follow:

  1. Get a degree: Data scientists are mostly Master’s or PhD degree holders. Hence, it is important to start preparing, reading and practicing as early as you can. You could get into numerous programs online or offline, or get yourself a degree in the basics of mathematics and algebra. Having a degree in computer science or statistics is also considered valuable. Thus, a certificate or degree course would be your first step. 
  2. Handling large quantity of data: Handling unstructured data is essentially the job of a data scientist. Knowing how to categorize the infinite number of data getting stored and making it cohesive is the most important responsibility as it's quite complex. Fitting the unstructured data into a database needs more than just technical skill, thus making it a trickier job. Working on data sets and projects can improve your ability to identify useful data. 
  3. Software and techniques to master: The softwares like Python, R and Hadoop are important tools. More than 53% data scientists are fluent in both R and Python programming.  Being accustomed to using these will kick-start your data science career:
    • R is a versatile programming language. It is easy to use and highly popular with most companies. Python is slowly catching up with R in terms of popularity and should also be learnt. 
    • Hadoop is a useful software especially when there are more data than there is storage. Hadoop quickly transfers the data to different points in the machine. Apache Spark is sometimes favored over Hadoop by many companies. It is similar in its computation work to Hadoop but is faster and a more reliable method of storing data. 
    • Understanding and collection are the preliminaries to interpreting data and classification of database. SQL queries are important to be learned for this reason.

If you want to earn a degree in Data Science in New York, you can try the data science programs in colleges like Syracuse University, Clarkson University, Columbia University, Cornell University, Cuny Bernard M Baruch College, Fordham University, Icahn School of Medicine, Keller Graduate School of Management, Manhattan College, Marist College, New York Institute of Technology, New York University, Pace University, Pratt Institute – Main, Rochester Institute of Technology, St. John’s University, University of Buffalo, University of Rochester, etc. As mentioned above, most data scientists are Master’s or PhD degree holders. Around 75% are PhD scholars with some background in computer science, mathematics or social sciences. Some of the benefits of getting a degree in Data Science important to get a Data Science job-

Networking: Interacting with your peer group will increase your conceptual clarity and you will find networking opportunities. Having acquaintances in the industry always gives people an edge. 

Structured learning: Having a schedule for your curriculum will not only provide a holistic idea about the discipline, but also ensure thorough learning. 

Internships: Getting a hands-on experience by doing internships can be very helpful and provide you with an idea about the workload you will be expected to do. 

Appropriate academic degrees and qualification: While having a degree from a prestigious university does provide an advantage to your career it is also important that you have a relevant degree. 

Education over experience: Depending on where you want to work you should consider getting a Master’s or PhD degree. If you are considering a job in the Fortune 500 then it is better to get a decent degree from a reputed university. A master’s degree as a criterion for employment depends on the quality of the program the candidate followed. If you have practical skills to offer through professional experiences, a master’s degree will not be necessary. 

Thus it is important to have a clear goal at the earliest about which sector one can or wants to work in, so that he/she can pursue the right degree or get the appropriate experience.

There are several universities in New York that offer postgraduate programs in Data Science. But before you apply for a Master’s degree, you need to know if you really need one or not. The necessity of a Master’s degree depends on the following points mentioned below. Score yourself according to the factors mentioned, if you score more than 6 points it is advisable that you get a master’s degree.

  • You have a strong STEM (Science/Technology/Engineering/Management) background: 0 points.
  • You have a weak STEM background (Biochemistry/Biology/Economics or other such degrees): 2 points. 
  • You come from a non-STEM background: 5 points
  • You have less than 1 year of experience working with Python programming: 3 points
  • You have never had a job which required you to code on a regular basis: 3 points
  • You feel you are not good at independent learning: 4points
  • You do not understand when it is said that this scorecard is a regression algorithm: 1 point.

Programming is at the heart of data science and is an absolute must for anyone to learn in order to become a Data Scientist. The other reasons are as follows:

Data sets: A job of a data scientist revolves around analysis of a large number of data sets. Knowledge of programming is required to help you analyze those data sets. 

Statistics: The ability to program goes hand in hand with your ability to use statistics. As you start working on programming a lot of statistical techniques will be needed to be identified which in turn will make it easier for you to code and create new statistical methods. Without the knowledge of implementation of statistics in data science, statistics will prove to be useless.

Framework: Having programming ability improves an individual's efficiency and ability to structure the  data. It is important that data scientists create frameworks for analyzing data so that visualization, interpretation and data pipeline is constructed which will allow selected individuals to access the data at any time. Working with millions of data requires having a foolproof structure for storage of data and prevent it from being breached. 

Making the work space efficient and secure is the ultimate responsibility of a data scientist.

            Getting started: Learning any programming language is the best way to start your journey as a data scientist. The most common programming languages are the R and Python programming. Having an idea of what data science is and what type of jobs it entails should be the first priority.

            Mathematics: Data science is the study of data. It requires raw data to be stored, segregated and finally interpreted, which requires both mathematics and statistics. Having a good command over a few of the aspects of statistics can be quite helpful in data science, like:

            • Descriptive statistics
            • Probability
            • Linear algebra
            • Inferential statistics

            Libraries: Data science is an advanced level of inventory making. Thus it not only preprocesses the data, but plots it as structured data and then uses AI algorithms on it to create databases. Some of the most popular libraries are:

            • Sci-kit learn
            • SciPy
            • NumPy
            • Pandas
            • ggplot
            • matplotlib

            Data Visualization: Having the presence of mind to categorize the raw data, finding similarities and being able to simplify the data for easy understanding is how you visualize the data. One of the popular forms is through graphs. There are various libraries you can use to make it easier for you:

            • matplotlib-Python
            • ggplot2-R

            Data preprocessing: Data scientists start with a large mass of data that needs to be preprocessed in order to be analysis ready. The preprocessing is done with feature engineering and variable selection. After this it is fed to ML tools for analysis. 

            Deep learning and ML: Machine Learning and deep learning are the mediums through which data is analyzed. The preprocessed data will work only with deep learning algorithms in order to analyze such a huge number of data. Both deep learning and ML are mandatory for your job application to be even considered. One should spend a few weeks reading up on CNN, RNN and neural networks.

            Natural Language processing: One should have knowledge of NLP as it helps in analyzing text form of data and classifying them as well. 

            Polishing skills: There is no end to knowledge and competitions are a great way to brush up on your programming skills. Online platforms like Kaggle have opportunities to keep you working on your data science concepts. Outside online platforms you can make your own projects and study it individually.

            Before you go for an interview as a Data Scientist, you must know the following ways to prepare before the day of the interview.

            Study: Reread whatever you have learnt till now. There are few things you could brush up on:

            • Probability
            • Statistics
            • Statistical models
            • Machine Learning
            • Understanding of neural networks.

            Meetups and Conferences: Going to tech summits or developer meetups will acquaint you with the people who could one day become your colleagues. This is a good way to do some networking.

            Competitions: Competitions are the best platforms to test your skills. Taking up projects to work on from Kaggle or GitHub would help polish your skills.

            Referral: Having good referrals is considered one of the most important parts of a job interview. You should always keep your LinkedIn profile updated. 

            Know your Employer: Always research on the organization you are trying to get into. Having an idea of the type of company and values it has will give you a clearer perspective to your interview.

            Interview: Once you feel that you are ready to attend an interview, go for it. Be comfortable and learn from your experience. Think of where you went wrong and how you could have answered the question that you were not prepared for during the interview.

It is unique in relation to any other programming language making it the only choice for all data science projects.
            • The diversity of resources available on Python makes it a safe option for data scientists. If faced with a problem while working on a Python program or developing a data science model, data scientists have a wide variety of resources available to quickly work up a solution.

            • Another advantage of using Python is the availability of a community of developers using the same programming language. Python being the most popular programming language, the number of people working on it is high. Since the type of work being done with Python by data scientists is similar, if anyone faces difficulty at any point with their projects it is probable that someone else in the community had also faced the same problem and has already found a solution. Being part of a community with the most number of people makes it easier to brainstorm solutions.

            Data Science is a huge field which requires working with a large number of libraries. Finding the right programming language to master is, therefore, important.The most common languages are given below.

            R programming: The only challenge in working with R is its steep learning curve, but it is an important language for various reasons.

            • It has a huge open-source community that provides numerous high quality open-source packages for R.
            • It boasts of smooth handling of matrix operations and has large statistical functions.
            • Included with it is ggplot2, that enables data visualization

            Python: With lesser packages than R, Python is still considered to be popular with data scientists. The reasons for that are-

            • Libraries like pandas, scikit-learn and tensorflow equip Python to provide most library needs for data science purposes.
            • It is very easy to use and operate.
            • It has an open-source community that is considered one of the largest.

            SQL: Working on relational databases, Structured Query Language has-

            • Readable syntax
            • Efficiency in updating, manipulating and querying data for relational databases.

            Java: One of the oldest programming languages, Java has limited libraries, which limits its potential. Nevertheless it has some advantages.

            • Systems that are coded with Java at the backend are more compatible with data science projects.
            • It is a high performance, general purpose, compiled language.

            Scala: Your compiled Scala program can be run on JVM. It has some advantages-

            • Running on JVM, Scala can run on Java as well.
            • Used alongside Apache Spark, it enables high performance computing cluster.

            The following are the steps to downloading Python 3 for Windows:

            Download and setup: Go to the download page and setup your python on your windows via GUI installer. While installing, select the checkbox at the bottom asking you to add Python 3.x to PATH, which is your classpath and will allow you to use Python’s functionalities from the terminal.

            Alternatively, you can also install python via Anaconda as well. Check if python is installed by running the following command, you will be shown the version installed:

            python --version

            • Update and install setuptools and pip: Use below command to install and update 2 of most crucial libraries (3rd party):

            python -m pip install -U pip

            Note: You can install virtualenv to create isolated python environments and pipenv, which is a python dependency manager.

            You can simply install python 3 from their official website through a .dmg package, but we recommend using Homebrew to install python as well as its dependencies. To install python 3 on Mac OS X, just follow the below steps:

            • Install xcode: To install brew, you need Apple’s Xcode package, so start with the following command and follow through it: $ xcode-select --install
            • Install brew: Install Homebrew, a package manager for Apple, using following command: /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsS https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)" Confirm if it is installed by typing: brew doctor 
            • Install python 3: To install the latest version of python, use: 

             brew install python

            • To confirm its version, use: python --version

            You should also install virtualenv, which will help you create isolated places to run different projects and may run even on different python versions.
