Math and statistics are vital components of any data scientist's tool box. While some view statistics as a type of math, the reality is that they are completely different subjects. Math is all about numbers and concrete answers, while statistics is making sense of numbers via educated "guesses." This one picture, based on Rossman et al's essay Some Key…

Summary:  Bias in modeling has long been a public concern that is now amplified and focused on the disparate treatment models may cause for African Americans.  Defining and correcting the bias presents difficult issues for data scientists that need to be carefully thought through before reaching conclusions.

Today I uploaded to github the first version of my book “QC Paulinesia” about Quantum Computing. The title is a play on the surname of the famous quantum scientist Wolfgang Pauli and the word "Polynesia". The book is based on a paper with the same name that I wrote in 2004. 

Here is  its github repo. Here is the pdf for the book. Let me quote the current…

Software is at the base of the considerable number of headways we find in our lives. Software development innovations have seen a gigantic change in the course of the most recent couple of years. Be it Amazon's automaton conveyances or Snapshot with increased reality contributions, the product drives the world as we know it. Undertakings have embraced practically all the rising innovations in their product improvement, and Artificial insight is no special case. Effect of man-made reasoning…

The Problem

Millions of people are forced to leave their current area of residence or community due to resource shortage and natural disasters such as droughts, floods. Our project partner, UNHCR, provides assistance and protection for those who are forcibly displaced inside Somalia.

The goal of this project was to create a solution that quantifies…

Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) software is software for producing forgeries and imitations of data (aka synthetic data, fake data). Human beings have been making fakes, with good or evil intent, of almost everything they possibly can, since the beginning of the human race. Thus, perhaps not too surprisingly, GAN software has been widely used since it was first proposed in this amazingly recent 2014 paper. To gauge how widely GAN software has been used so far, see, for example, this…

According to a survey the number of mobile users worldwide from 2019 to 2023 will grow at a rapid pace. For 2020, the number of mobile users worldwide is forecast to grow to 6.95 billion.

Mobile applications have become one of the inseparable parts of our lives. We cannot think of a single day without using different mobile applications. This is the reason why various industries are…

Given the scale of its impact and the kind of alteration that it brought into our lives, COVID19 is one of the most unprecedented crises of our times. Although it is not the only pandemic that humanity has been through, COVID19 is occurring in the time of the fourth industrial revolution where everyone and everything is one click way, and where the excess of data and computing has allowed machines to be more intelligent than ever. In the age of deep tech and data, data science is definitely…

In the last week, I started a new book on classical (not quantum) Bayesian Networks. Today, I uploaded the first installment to github. Here is its github repo. Here is the pdf for the book. Let me quote the current…

Recently Springer made some good books on maths free to download.

Competitive programming strategies are useful for many data science interviews and they help to improve your maths foundations.  There are not many books on this subject (although there are many good websites and YouTube resources).

So, I hope you find this book…
