MIT researchers have designed a big-data analysis system which aims to replace human intuition in the search for buried patterns. To examine the first prototype of their system, they registered it in three data science competitions, where they contested against human teams to detect predictive patterns in unaccustomed arrays of data.

If you’re an aspiring data scientist, you’re inquisitive – always exploring, learning, and asking questions. Online tutorials and videos can help you prepare you for your first role, but the best way to ensure that you’re ready to be a data scientist is by making sure you’re fluent in the tools people use in the industry.

Data scientists are fast becoming the rock stars of the 21st century. Thanks in part to Nate Silver's eerily accurate election predictions and Paul DePodesta's baseball-revolutionizing Moneyball techniques, math nerds have become celebrities. It's debatable how much their work differs from what statisticians have done for years, but it's a growing field, and many companies are desperate to hire their own data scientists. The irony is that many of these math nerds aren't as math nerdy as you might expect.

La “science des données” nous permet elle d’apercevoir des patterns qui échappent à notre perception commune ? Dans le domaine des humanités numériques ou de l’anthropologie computationelle, on utilise de massifs corps de textes pour dégager des structures qui pourraient nous permettre une compréhension accrue de la culture … Ou pas.

O’Reilly Media released the results of its second-annual data science salary survey on Thursday (available for free download here), and the results were not too surprising. Essentially, it shows that people who work with tools designed for big data, machine learning, statistical computing and cloud computing make more money — often between $20,000 and $30,000...
