What’s extra vital, your information or your mannequin?
The 2 opponents stroll into the ring, every claims to have the higher hand. The info scientist pulls out a silver ruler, the deep studying developer pulls out a gleaming hammer — who will construct the very best mannequin?
In my earlier positions, I’ve labored as each a knowledge scientist and a deep studying algorithm developer. In the event you ask me what the variations are between the 2, I’ve acquired to say that it is not clear-cut.
Each cope with information and machine studying fashions, and each use comparable success metrics and dealing ideas.
So what makes them totally different?
I believe its the angle.
I’ll be daring and generalize that from my expertise, deep studying builders (particularly junior ones) are inclined to focus extra on the mannequin, whereas information scientists do the alternative — they analyze and manipulate the info 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
