What is Machine learning & Top 5 skills required to become a machine learning expert
So what exactly is Machine Learning? Machine Learning is simply making a computer perform a task without explicitly programming it. If we impose business rules to build a system and not let the machine find patterns on its own, we will not be able to put up with the versatility of the data that comes in. Let’s explain this with an example. Suppose we manually looked through data to find patterns and coded our systems such that if I fall in the age range of 30-40 and I am a male, I would like product X more than product Y. What we did not consider is the personalization parameter. What if I am the odd one out who likes product Y? Even if I give some meaningful feedback about my choices like product ratings, reviews etc. it won’t be possible for a manually driven system to consume that information for all customers and recommend the right product for each customer. Here machine learning becomes more of a necessity than a luxury if we want to be ahead of the curve. What are the skills required to be a data scientist who uses machine learning? Well, it’s more of a broader […]

Winner of Hackathon-Santanu shares his Mantra of Success
We had written about one of our students Shan who won a Hackathon Contest. He shared with us his experiences as a Data Scientist and what is his “Mantra”of success. Excerpts from Interview: “Congratulations on your win! How do you feel to win it among 2500+ contestants? Shan: Thank you. Its really inspiring competing with top data scientists across the globe. In this type of competitive endeavor the learning curve is steep. The experiences and inspirations will motivate me in future endeavors. What inspired you to participate in such contests? Since when have you been participating? Shan: Any hackathon requires a unique blend of skills and different factors. In this, persistence is very important. It is easy to become demotivated when you are not placed in the top slots. Its definitely worth it keep trying. This persistence needs to come from within. One should ask why he/she is engaging in a particular competition. Learning is the motivator? Getting opportunities by ranking high on the leaderboard? Or, just want to prove himself/herself? The monetary reward in most competitions is not enough to motivate a significant time investment, so unless you clearly know what you want and how to motivate yourself, it can be tough […]
