We illustrate pattern recognition techniques applied to an interesting mathematical problem: The representation of a number in non-conventional systems, generalizing the familiar base-2 or base-10 systems. The emphasis is on data science rather than mathematical theory, and the style is that of a tutorial, requiring minimum knowledge in mathematics or statistics. However, some off-the-beaten-path, state-of-the-art number theory research is discussed here, in a way that is accessible to…

Data scientists spend 80% of their time preparing and cleaning their data. They spend the other 20% of their time complaining about preparing and cleaning their data.
This was posted by Kirk Borne on his Twitter account. Not sure who created the cartoon. Do we all spend 80% on our time on something, and the remaining 20% on something else? In my case, I spend 20% of my time writing articles (usually research articles that the layman can understand, and sometimes articles like…

These are not business questions, but soft questions that should make any PhD candidate relaxed, even intrigued, and open to talk freely. There is no wrong answer, these are open questions, but some answers could hint that the candidate is still in his/her PhD bubble, feeling superior, not flexible, and unable to see the big picture behind the apparently innocent question. These questions were asked discretely, none of the responders knew about my PhD mathematical background. …

I described here a strange type of function, that is nowhere continuous but relatively easy to integrate using probabilistic arguments. I call it the fractional part of parameter p of a function g(x), and it is denoted as g(x, p). We focus here on g(x) = exp(x). It is obtained by removing a number of terms (usually infinitely many) in the Taylor series of g(x). For instance, by removing all…

Guest blog post by Edward Chenard, Contributor at DataScience.com.
I've had several conversations recently with people I know in the data science space that always start out about business and then drift to the state of data science as a whole. One theme constantly comes up in these conversations: There are a lot of people currently running data…

Guest blog post by Michael Li, Head of Analytics and Data Science at LinkedIn.

Cambridge Analytica was caught tampering with elections by exploiting Facebook, but chances are that this is the tip of the iceberg, and that many others, including scammers and ID thieves, are also exploiting Facebook and other social networks. One way that they do this is as follows.
Cambridge Analytica website (front page) -…
