Data Science

Code 417, Class 10. Data science finds meaning in data. Here we learn what it is and how a simple model works.

What this unit is about

Data science studies data to find useful patterns and make predictions. It is a key part of the Data domain of AI.

1. Data, features and labels

Data has features (the inputs, like height and weight) and a label (the answer we want, like a category). A model learns the link between features and label.

2. A simple model

A simple model is k-nearest neighbours (kNN): to predict a new item, it looks at the closest known items and copies their answer. Similar items usually share a label.

3. Uses of data science

Data science is used for recommendations, weather forecasts, health checks and business decisions, wherever patterns in data can help.

Practice set B, short answer

1. What is data science?

Studying data to find useful patterns and make predictions.

2. What is the difference between a feature and a label?

A feature is an input; a label is the answer to predict.

3. How does k-nearest neighbours work?

It looks at the closest known items and copies their answer.

Quick summary

Data science studies data to find patterns and make predictions, a key part of the Data domain. Data has features (inputs) and a label (the answer). A model learns the link between them. A simple model, k-nearest neighbours, predicts by looking at the closest known items and copying their answer. Data science is used for recommendations, forecasts and decisions.
