    Data science uses algorithms and computer processing of data to answer questions. The five main questions data science can answer are: 1) Is this A or B? (classification), 2) Is this weird? (anomaly detection), 3) How much or how many? (regression), 4) How is this organized? (clustering), and 5) What should I do next? (reinforcement learning). Algorithms are applied to data to produce answers or predictions. Data science determines if data is ready and organized for these algorithms to be effective.

    5 Questions data science can answer:

    1. Is this A or B?
    2. Is this weird?
    3. How much or how many?
    4. How is this organized?
    5. What should I do next?

    How does data science work?


    Algorithm = Recipe
    Your data = Ingredients
    Computer = Blender
    Your answer = Smoothie

    Q: Is this A or B?
    Classical algorithms
    Used for few answers, multiclass classification

    Q: Is this weird?
    Anomaly detection algorithms
    Gives us a clue to look for problems

    Q: How much? How many?


    Regression algorithms
    Numerical predictions

    Q: How is this organized?


    Clustering algorithms (No one right answer)
    By understanding how data is organized, we can better understand and predict events

    Q: What should I do now?


    Reinforcement learning algorithms
    These algorithms learn from outcome and decide on the next action.
    Good fit for automated systems that make a lot of small decisions without human guidance.

    Is your data ready for data science?
