Responsibilities
The primary role of a data scientist is to analyze data and find trends within the data, to create predictions
These insights help direct the creation of effective solutions, as focal points that aren’t obvious can be exposed through the analysis
This process requires a wide variety of techniques, as data first needs to be transformed into a usable format before anything is done
This can range from plain text files to semi-structured files, or even collections of non-alphanumerical data
Data scientists are also skilled in creating output visualizations, to be able to convey heavy mathematical results to those who may be unfamiliar
This concept is often referred to as “bridging a gap” between statistically significant findings and engineered solutions, essentially turning data into useful knowledge
Data scientists may also be involved in the creation of machine learning models that provide the most accurate predictions of underlying processes
These models must be verified to ensure reliability in a variety of conditions
The outgrowth of the machine learning processes and subsequent validation leads to artificial intelligence frameworks that are broadly applied across a variety of problems
