Both data scientists and machine learning engineers get to work on some pretty exciting business problems, but which one is the “cooler” job? To answer this question—and many others—we invited Nikunj Bajaj, a machine learning engineer at Facebook, and Sreeta Gorripaty, a data scientist at Uber, to sound off. And because they’re married, they did […]
In my last post, we explored a general overview of data analysis methods, ranging from basic statistics to machine learning (ML) and advanced simulations. It was a pretty high-level overview, and aside from the statistics, we didn’t dive into much detail. In this post, we’ll take a deeper look at machine-learning-driven regression and classification, two […]
The three-step Springboard admissions process is designed to set our students up for success. The challenge portion is an important step that ensures that each student is a good fit for the course and will achieve the ultimate goal: getting a job in their desired field. To enroll in the Data Science Career Track, prospective […]
No longer a field best suited for pure abstraction, data science is all around us today. From major industries to academia, the demand for this expertise continues to grow. An inherently multi-disciplinary field, data science can best be summed up as the process of extracting knowledge. It’s all about fine-tuning our tools to mine, store, […]
