Deep Studying vs Information Science: Who Will Win? | by Benjamin Bodner | Oct, 2024

What’s extra necessary, your knowledge or your mannequin?

The 2 opponents stroll into the ring, every claims to have the higher hand. The information scientist pulls out a silver ruler, the deep studying developer pulls out a gleaming hammer — who will construct the perfect mannequin?

In my earlier positions, I’ve labored as each an information scientist and a deep studying algorithm developer. In case you ask me what the variations are between the 2, I’ve bought to say that it is not clear-cut.

Each take care of knowledge and machine studying fashions, and each use comparable success metrics and dealing ideas.

So what makes them completely different?

I believe its the perspective.

I’ll be daring and generalize that from my expertise, deep studying builders (particularly junior ones) are likely to focus extra on the mannequin, whereas knowledge scientists do the alternative — they analyze and manipulate the information such that just about any mannequin will do the trick.

Or, ought to I dare to simplify it even additional and say that:

Deep Studying = Mannequin Oriented
