How I Would Learn Data Science in 2021 (What Has Changed?)

[@anubhavgoyal3211]

1) learn programming(python) 2) get familiar with stats and algorithms 3) code review(go to kaggle) 4) do as many projects as you can now Note: these need not to be done in sequence and don't try to master them, get a basic understanding and make learning a habit Last thing: engage with community

[@lekanadenusi462]

I find the third point extremely helpful: rewriting codes and taking notes of lines you don't understand yet. That would help tremendously. I've been keen on “breaking” other people's codes but it didn't appear I could do it this way. Thanks!

[@KenJee_ds]

Glad to hear you found that point helpful Lekan!! Thanks for watching!

[@DavidsonLoops]

I want to do something similar but im struggling to understand the most basic of the coding problems on kaggle's intro to python course. For some reason it's bothering me despite starting to successfully use "tolerance of ambiguity" to learn Chinese more quickly, and not care about whether I really understand everything at the point of consumption, which Chris Lonsdale says increases your learning capacity by a significant amount. But that effect has not spilled over into learning Python, despite Kenjee and Lonsdale both mentioning something similar. So with regards to that suggestion, I wouldn't even know where to start writing down which pieces of code from the projects of others I don't understand. I suppose the way to go is to start doing a project and look up examples of similar projects and extrapolate for my own benefit, while also using kaggle and using videos like these to reassess my learning on a consistent basis.

[@owen9899]

Hey Lekan! Was wondering what you mean by breaking other people’s code? 😃

My first project for 2021, which I plan to complete during the 66 days: I think the Marine Corps is stratifying its officer corps through selection of all schools and command opportunities through selection boards, or panels. I believe these boards are subject to heavy confirmation bias and anchoring. I'm going to analyze the recidivism rate of the boards, using SQL joins (which i know how to do, sort of...) and web scraping, which i don't know at all. Planning to learn enough of that over Christmas to get the job done.

[@AntonioIvanovski]

Great advice and content Ken! One thing I would love to add to those seeking their first job is to ignore job titles, and be open to positions such as "BI Analyst/Engineer, Data Analyst, etc", especially if you are entry level for several reasons 1) I was a BI associate and had opportunities to work on ML. Companies use terms interchangeably, and I have seen "data scientists" who do SQL and reporting all day.. 2) If you want to be a data scientist, you'll have to work with analysts, BI people, data engineers, and stepping into their shoes will help you in the long run. In a way it's taking 1 step back to take 3 forward. and 3) People should really focus on bringing value to an organization, rather than just doing "cool" projects. A lot of companies aren't ready for advanced ML/AI. You will be more miserable creating a data science project which will never be put into production than creating a Tableau Dashboard that the whole business will use. Here’s to a great 2021!

[@KenJee_ds]

Hi, Ken, I'm looking forward to 66 days! I'm still working on my Titanic competition. The previous modelling performance was only slightly better than the benchmark and then I started all over and found a few things missing from my previous work (combine the datasets first, check the types of missingness, deep understanding of each variable, etc.). So far I made three sharing notebooks(EDA, missingness, fare analysis). Through this project, I became more aware of the importance of EDA and feature engineering.

Last year, I worked on a data science certificate. I learned a lot. However, the program didn't talk about portfolios or branding. It's funny because the training was funded for underemployed individuals..to help them transition to a new career. ALSO, it had 0 programming. I happen to know coding, but I've done no programming projects in this program. My first step for 2021 is to learn if I can actually be attractive to employers with this learning (Tableau, RapidMiner, KNIME, Alteryx) and to find a source of temporary income, while I figure this out.

I haven't learned all the concepts, but I do know R, python and basic stats including regression, logistic regression, decision trees and random forests. I love data science, even though I don't understand it all yet. Anyone have other youtubers that I can follow, in addition to Ken.

I think you will end up being better than you think! It is natural to really struggle with some of this stuff when you start out (I know I did). I promise that after you keep going, when you look back, a bunch of the stuff you struggle with will seem very easy to you. The hard thing is giving yourself enough time to see the improvement. We all learn at a little different rates, and even if you're behind your peers in something, you may be way ahead of them in another area. Your projects sound awesome! Something that may help you along is working with others on a project. It can help to see how someone slightly ahead of you breaks down a problem or goes through an analysis!

Hi Ken. I just opened up my course work for my master's program in Data Science from the University of Denver and I am on red alert! The bridge math courses are so intense that I feel like I may be in over my head. The calculus bridge course essentially covers calculus from limits all the way up to multivariate calculus and beyond (4 to 5 calculus courses) in a span of 10 weeks! Their discrete math and linear algebra combine these two disciplines as well. I may switch to Eastern University's program which is much less math intensive and can be completed in 10 months. Do you think companies will really care where I get my degree from? I enjoy math, but not at such a pace that I will have difficulty retaining any of it. The fact that I end up spending over 95% of my time using outside resources to even begin to understand how to do the homework assignments leads me to believe this may not be a very well structured program and that I might as well drop this master's program and switch to a different one.

[@KenJee_ds]

I don't think that employers will care much which university you got your degree from! It is definitely more about what you create while you're there. If everything is online anyway, I recommend choosing the program that makes the most sense for your objectives! Good luck with starting things up!

Awesome stuff Swarnima! I hope you'll join me starting up the #66DaysOfData again next year!

[@pedrocrespo2681]

I appreciated your video Ken! 2020 was a challenging year for me in terms of defining what to study and you helped me a lot on this! I am looking forward to starting the path I idealized and being part of your community!

[@KenJee_ds]

Thanks for tuning in Pedro! Sorry to hear this year was tough, and I hope things turn around for you in 2021. Happy to have you as a part of the community, and I think you will do great things this upcoming year!

[@ramyaarajan5916]

I am a Pharma professional, started learning Python and DS. And obviously looking for healthcare projects. I want to use my healthcare knowledge along with predictive analysis.

[@KenJee_ds]

Awesome stuff!

[@decodewithabhishek]

What was your first programming language and How long it took you to learn that? Question to ken and everyone Mine was javascript and it took me around 1 month (with a lot of procrastination) to learn the basics.

[@joaojulio435]

Python, it took a couple of months (probably 3) since I was learning it in university.

[@imdadood5705]

Python, I got the basics quickly. But I am still learning for around 7 months now.

[@KenJee_ds]

Mine was python, I think I started on code acdemy. After that I did Java and C at the same time (not fun lol)

[@shrutijain1628]

Mine was html in 8 grade, then c and c++ in 9 grade then java in 11th and 12th grade but I literally don't remember anything I have learned python now on my own 🙂

[@shrutijain1628]

Hello ken It's amazing how you highlight the main points and gave us some good advice ... already started the #66daysofdata and also took your course of 365 data science platform : that's some real advice we are talking about in that course 💯 Wish you luck and in advance happy new year💯😊

[@KenJee_ds]

Glad to hear the course was helpful Shruti! Thanks for watching as well!!! Excited that you are a part of #66DaysOfData!

[@jkn.782]

Hey Ken! I can bear your voice for 24 hours if you talk about Data Science and Machine Learning.........

[@KenJee_ds]

Haha glad to hear this!! Fortunately, those are the topics I discuss the most!

[@abduvosidmalikov]

rewrite the code. take notes on what you don't understand. I do this a lot and it helps me a lot!

[@KenJee_ds]

Agreed!!

[@tkfuenf]

For 2021 after I finally have acquired enough basic skills I want to work on a Soccer project and maybe get my hands on some professional Call of Duty data.

[@KenJee_ds]

Awesome stuff Tim!!

[@LewiUberg]

Merry Christmas Ken :)

[@KenJee_ds]

Thanks! You too Lewi!

[@HVjugo]

Great video Ken! For 2021 I was thinking of a project that predicts the value of magic: the gathering cards on the secondary market. I'll try to combine sentiment analysis (taken from twitter) and data from online tournaments to do so. It's a greedy project, but I can use it if it works so it's a win/win haha

[@KenJee_ds]

Thanks Hugo! And that is an awesome sounding project. I used to play Magic a long time ago and have also been contemplating doing something around the card market! Would love to hear about what you create!

[@HVjugo]

@@KenJee_ds it's an interesting topic to analyse, especially now with the pandemic. If you ever return to magic and want to get a game, just say the word, there are various apps to do so using the webcam :D

[@KenJee_ds]

@@HVjugo Very cool!

[@0x007A]

Ken since you emphasize learning programming, use the term library not package. Yes, a nitpick but we should not be using cutesy terms when talking about programming and the vast collections of ready-built functions/methods. Your videos are always informative.

[@KenJee_ds]

Thanks for the correction Gregory! Will do my best to make that adjustment in future videos!

[@0x007A]

@@KenJee_ds not your fault. The term package seems to have originated with web developers when Ruby and NodeJS came onto the scene. They are to blame and deserve to be roasted over red hot embers for eternity. ;-)

[@sufyanzaheeri2263]

Looking forward to another #66DaysOfData

[@KenJee_ds]

I am too! Looking forward to having you as a part of it Sufyan!

[@dostonkholdarov5624]

hello, I'm Jr Data Scientist, thanks for this video, it's very good

[@KenJee_ds]

Thanks for watching Doston!

[@WillGuesdon]

Project learning and 66days of data are efficient and fun methods to learn!

[@KenJee_ds]

Couldn't agree more! Thanks for watching William!

[@victorpinasarnault9135]

I would love to do spatial analysis. Don't know how yet, but want it too much.

[@KenJee_ds]

You can do it!!

[@chacmool2581]

I am still in the learning stage. These are my core learning areas: * Stats * Computer tools - R, Python, SQL What else?

[@KenJee_ds]

I would probably focus some on python over SAS. SAS isn't exactly used much in the profession. Still a good starting place with the other stuff though!

[@iftrejom]

Hi, Ken! I really appreciate the content you post, you have been really helpful, thank you a lot! I've been learning Python for DS for 6 months now using KZbin tutorials and most recently DataCamp. I already have good statistics background and will be taking soon a nice statistics course on Udacity. I think it is a good moment to get my hands dirty with projects, but I've had a hard time finding some. Where do I get DS projects for beginners?

[@KenJee_ds]

Thanks for watching Ciro!! I recommend checking out the 3 projects that I outline in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bprKeWunj8aZptE&ab_channel=KenJee

[@sianoikimari]

Thank you Ken. I’m starting from scratch. So I have no clue of what steps to take. I find myself getting overwhelmed trying out different things simply because of this. Do you mind sharing a link to a curriculum? It would help so much to keep on track, set goals and move at a good pace.

[@KenJee_ds]

I recommend this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6KzoqilnK2qp5I&ab_channel=KenJee I hope it helps!

[@sianoikimari]

@@KenJee_ds Thank you! I just got an amazing discount with 365 DS! Can't wait to dive in and learn all the courses in a structured manner that my brain prefers! Thanks to you!

[@Major_Data]

That's awesome! That was the first data science video I ever watched. It led to a 3 hour Ken Jee binge watch, and my first professional connection request on LinkedIn. Thanks for being so approachable and helpful, Ken.

[@KenJee_ds]

It is amazing how putting things out into the world can bring people together! It's an honor to have you as a linkedin connection!

[@ovogunsemi]

Thanks Ken I really hope to start this journey...my laptop is pulling me back 😔

[@KenJee_ds]

I hope you start the journey as well. I would look more into free compute resources on kaggle and google colab. You really don't need a powerful computer at all to do data science!

[@ysranaYT]

@@KenJee_ds does OS matter?

[@amasoharnold4762]

When you say laptop it's helpful to know you can use colab to practice data science

[@MobeenJimmyThommy]

hey, I'm 15 years old and planning to do data science with 0 knowledge in programming, what courses would you advice I include for grade 11 and 12? thanks!

[@KenJee_ds]

Really awesome that you're excited about data science at such a young age! I would recommend taking any programming classes you can! Intro with python would be ideal. I also recommend trying to take statistics if it is offered!

[@michaelshea4834]

Plenty of math. Study it. Statistics - multiple semesters. Get a foundation of understanding in the math to understand what you are really doing. Then programming, data structures and algorithms. In this order - if you actually really want to ver y good.

[@jost1101]

Linear Algebra and statistics

[@anubhavgoyal3211]

Linear algebra, basic graphs, stats, python and try learning excel as well

[@piyushthakur2649]

Any guidance anyone needs is here. Follow his channel and do whatever he says and TADA you are a data scientist.

[@KenJee_ds]

Haha not sure it is that easy, but I'm glad to hear the advice is helping!

[@julienhlh5070]

Thank you Ken! You're a source of inspiration! Can I ask you just one thing: In your opinion is better to improve machine learning knowledge first and after move on deep learning, or study them together?

[@KenJee_ds]

I personally learned most other ml concepts before diving into deep learning, although I don't think it has to be that way. My thought is that you should learn whatever will keep you most engaged in the field!

[@RodStremel]

Can't wait for next year's 66 days of data!

[@KenJee_ds]

Neither can I! I'm super stoked!
