The objective of this session was to make our students aware about the data science and its various applications. We also want to make them aware about the various future opportunities available in this domain. Mr. Deepak Bagchi, Head-Smart Data, IOT & Enterprise Analyst, SLK Software Service Ltd., Banglore was a keynote speaker for this session. While addressing the students, Mr. Bagchi said that by leveraging big data & analytics, businesses create the potential to better understand, manage, and strategically exploiting the complex dynamics of customer behavior. It reveals how to tap into the powerful tool of data analytics to create a strategic advantage and identify new business opportunities. He also said that Big Data is more than a decade old term that became very popular recently in life sciences and other fields. He also gave simple examples related to the real life projects where Data Science is doing wonders. He said that Big Data has been for long out there somewhere, strolling around in the hope of being noticed. Detailing the applications, along with relevant examples of every industry vertical, it also brings to light the key Industry-specific challenges being faced. With every Industry, we move a step closer into understanding the world of big data from how it is being applied to solve a lot of our problems. This info graphic tries to capture the essence of what Big Data means for different Industry sectors. Even though, Big Data specific challenges have been covered in detail here, it is to be noted that the biggest factor in Big Data implementation has been the funding issues encountered by the industries in these sectors.Most industries are still evaluating whether there is value in implementation of Big Data, while some have taken the plunge already. There are different category sets of Industry groups, those who are just testing waters to serious players who are creating products which will utilize Big Data. While addressing the students he also mentioned that if you are at a large company with huge amounts of data, or working at a company where the product itself is especially data-driven, it may be the case that you will want to be familiar with machine learning methods. This can mean things like k-nearest neighbors, random forests, ensemble methods, the entire machine learning buzzwords. It’s true that a lot of these techniques can be implemented using R or Python libraries – because of this, it’s not necessarily a deal breaker if you are not the world’s leading expert on how the algorithms work. More important is to understand the broad strokes and really understand when it is appropriate to use different techniques. Overall the session was very interactive and informative for all the attendees.
