Berkeley’s data science leader dedicated to advancing diversity in computing – UC Berkeley

Jennifer Chayes, associate provost of the Division of Computing, Data Science, and Society, and dean of the School of Information, discussed her vision for the future of data science at UC Berkeley. (UC Berkeley video)

From dictating which posts appear in our social media feeds to deciding whether or not a suspect might be guilty of a crime, data and computing have come to permeate nearly all aspects of our lives. But while these systems can offer many benefits, their faults whether data breaches, unintentional biases in algorithms or the proliferation of misinformation can have disastrous effects, especially on already marginalized individuals and communities.

Thats why Jennifer Chayes, UC Berkeleys new data science leader, is dedicated to creating an environment where data and computing are informed by leaders from all disciplines, including ethics and the humanities, and where people of all races, genders and socioeconomic backgrounds are welcomed at the table.

Chayes, associate provost of the Division of Computing, Data Science, and Society (CDSS) and dean of the School of Information at Berkeley, discussed her vision for the future of CDSS at a virtual Campus Conversations event on Wednesday.

More and more of our public systems (our) criminal justice system, our health system, our education system, our social welfare system [are] being mediated by computing. As [data science] becomes the fabric of our society, [we need to ensure) that it is a fabric that will serve its purpose properly, Chayes said. We need women, we need Black people, we need Latinx and Indigenous people building this fabric, because they will understand in ways different from the majority how [data] may be used.

Chayes left her position as a technical fellow at Microsoft Research to lead CDSS in January 2020. Part of what drew her to Berkeley was the sheer scale of the data science research happening on campus, coupled with the wide variety of fields data scientists were working in from climate change and sustainability to biomedicine and public health to human rights.

I think, at Berkeley, we are going to have just many, many more disciplines interacting with each other, Chayes said, when asked about her hopes for the future of the division. I will feel like a failure if we dont have joint faculty with every division and school and college on campus because I think that all voices have to be here, everyone has to be at the table for this to be a success.

To help increase racial diversity in data science fields, Chayes said that the division has approached historically Black colleges and universities about creating joint masters programs. The data science major also tends to attract a diverse array of students, many of whom didnt necessarily intend to go into data and computing when they entered Berkeley.

The CDSS is also planning the construction of a new data science building that will include extensive convening space for students, staff and faculty to collaborate.

People really need to mix with each other, Chayes said. Its something that I learned at Microsoft. I tried to have as flat of organizations as possible with philosophers, anthropologists and biologists and physicists and mathematicians and computer scientists and lawyers coming together and talking with each other. Its not just learning the language of another discipline, it is really understanding what are the important problems of other disciplines and why.

The chief data scientist: Who they are and what they do – Siliconrepublic.com

Anodots Ira Cohen shares what it means to be a chief data scientist, particularly in the era of Covid-19.

Weve been exploring the topic of working in data for some time on Siliconrepublic.com. Weve looked at the difference between a data scientist and a data analyst, the types of skills data professionals need and how much you could expect to earn in the industry. But something we havent discussed in depth is the role of a chief data scientist.

Ira Cohen is co-founder and chief data scientist at Anodot, a US analytics company that helps businesses detect anomalies in revenue, customer interactions and more. He also previously worked as chief data scientist at Hewlett-Packard Enterprise.

In his current position, Cohen draws on AI and machine learning to develop real-time algorithms to carry out this detection. Here, he explains the differences between his role and that of a CTO, and why chief data scientists will be critical after Covid-19.

Truly great chief data scientists know how to walk a fine line between driving creative innovation and pragmatic solutions IRA COHEN

The chief data scientist manages a range of data-driven functions including overseeing data management, creating data strategy and improving data quality. They also help their organisations extract the most valuable and relevant insights from their data, leveraging data analytics and business intelligence.

Perhaps most importantly, organisations rely on the chief data scientist to bridge the gap between management and the data science teams, helping them understand what machine learning can achieve and, conversely, not accomplish. The chief data scientist has a much deeper understanding of these technologies than the CTO, who likely has a broader knowledge base but not necessarily the deep expertise.

Machine learning is a remarkable innovation when supported by large amounts of data but the journey from big data ideas to successful machine learning implementations is often a complex and arduous one. This path requires a trusted navigator who can help the data science team overcome potential challenges that is where the chief data scientist comes in.

Experienced chief data scientists understand that data is the fuel behind key initiatives and know the non-deterministic risk of developing these capabilities. They bridge the gap between organisational expectations and the reality of what machine learning can accomplish, while understanding how to mitigate the risks associated with complex data-driven endeavours.

Many organisations are discovering that they really need a chief data scientist. For data-driven organisations, this role has become a must-have position rather than a luxury.

Since Covid-19 we have seen the rise of the chief data scientist, especially as organisations accelerate their digital transformations. Right now, everyone is engaging customers and partners in different ways in the digital world, launching new business models and finding better ways to bring products and services to market. This has led organisations to embrace more ambitious data strategies that require more experienced data science leadership.

We are seeing chief data scientists become heavily involved with board-level and C-suite-driven corporate strategies as data becomes even more central to critical company decisions. IDC recently completed a survey that revealed that 59pc of chief data scientists now report to their CEO or another C-suite executive, which illustrates just how far this role has come in a short period of time.

One of the most important things a chief data scientist can do over the next few months is to use machine learning to solve the most pressing business problems created by Covid-19 and the global recession.

For example, churn prediction is a key dilemma for organisations right now specifically, they must forecast which customers are most likely to stop being customers. This important task requires superior data analysis know-how. Moreover, assessing churn predictions requires different levels of technical and data science expertise qualities that the chief data scientist already has.

For example, some organisations need to predict churn in real time, while others must assess churn for each customer once a month. This requires different expertise and product sets with unique machine learning requirements.

Having a chief data scientist navigate these varied scenarios would likely deliver positive outcomes as that individual could understand the scope of the data science work required and complete a thorough analysis of the approaches that will or wont work all while balancing the business and technical trade-offs of taking one approach over the other.

This level of understanding will make all the difference when it comes to finding the most effective solutions that yield the desired results under the right cost and time parameters.

Truly great chief data scientists know how to walk a fine line between driving creative innovation and pragmatic solutions. As data scientists are researchers at heart, they need the time and space to explore different problem sets and possible data-driven solutions. At the same time, they must also deliver real-world data management solutions that solve their organisations pressing business problems. The ideal chief data scientist knows how to rally teams to deliver both.

For researchers, it is all too easy to go down rabbit holes searching for the best solutions. Sometimes you find the gold, but many times you do not uncover it. Talented and resourceful chief data scientists know when to pull their teams out of the rabbit holes; when they have asked all the right questions and done the hard work but still cannot find the treasure. That is when they must be pulled out to avoid wasting too much time, and then you can move them on to the next hole.

Many organisations let their data science teams spend too much time with their heads buried in rabbit holes that end up not bearing any fruit. Finding the right balance between exploration and pragmatic solutions is a key role for the chief data scientist.

Machine learning is the most important technology for chief data science officers in the year ahead.

Machine learning is particularly critical for data science professionals right now. Many of them are engaged in a build-versus-buy debate regarding products or services that offer machine learning as a core feature.

Organisations that opt to build their own platforms with machine learning capabilities should only do so if they are creating mission-critical applications. Otherwise, they will likely spend a great deal of time and expense building an internal technology that will not deliver as much value as the time and effort they put into it.

Software AG’s TrendMiner 2021.R1 Release Puts Data Science in the Hands of Operational Experts – Yahoo Finance

HOUSTON, TX, HASSELT, BELGIUM and DARMSTADT, GERMANY / ACCESSWIRE / January 28, 2021 / Software AG's TrendMiner has announced the release of TrendMiner 2021.R1. This latest release brings a completely new functionality of notebook integration, which helps users access both data dashboards and code-based data analysis. Also in 2021.R1 are extended capabilities to support multiple asset frameworks and many new user-driven features to help end users improve operational performance and overall profitability.

Bridge the knowledge-gap between engineers and data scientists with embedded notebooksTrendMiner enables operational experts in process industries to analyze, monitor, and predict operational performance using sensor-generated time-series data. The goal of TrendMiner has always been to empower engineers with analytics for improving operational excellence, without the need to rely on data scientists. In doing so, TrendMiner brought data science to the engineer. In the 2021.R1 release, TrendMiner makes the next step of this journey by integrating notebook functionality into the software so that users can easily jump from looking at data in a TrendMiner view to working with it in a code-based data science environment.

With their data science libraries of choice (e.g. Pandas, NumPy, SciPy, SciKit-Learn), engineers can create and run custom scripts themselves for advanced statistical analyses and use AutoML capabilities to build machine learning models for anomaly detection. On top of that, they can operationalize the resulting notebook visualizations (also created with libraries of their choice such as Matplotlib, Plotly, Seaborn) as dashboard tiles in TrendMiner DashHub.

Thomas Dhollander, CTO at TrendMiner commented, "Classical data science depends on bringing process / asset know-how to the data scientist, while self-service analytics aims at packaging a subset of data science modeling capabilities and bringing these to the subject matter expert as a robust set of features (no technical tuning parameters, no data science training needed). Companies that recognize the potential in interweaving these complementary approaches will be the ones that can accelerate their operational efficiency and competitive advantage."

Story continues

Support for multiple asset frameworks for globally operating usersTo support enterprise rollouts and the increased complexity of existing IT-landscapes, TrendMiner has extended its capabilities for handling multiple plant breakdown structures also known as asset frameworks. OSIsoft PI users can easily connect multiple OSIsoft PI Asset Framework servers and set access permissions. Besides support for multiple PI AF structures, multiple CSV asset trees can be imported for use as a data source within TrendMiner. As a result, System Administrators can better control accessibility with the ability to publish and unpublish structures, while the users have more flexibility to analyze the operational performance of multiple plants and production lines, each with their separate plant breakdown structures.

Further informationIn each release, TrendMiner adds a new range of features and enhancements that are requested by its users. There are many more improvements in the TrendMiner 2021.R1 release, which users can find in the TrendMiner release notes on the website: http://www.trendminer.com.

Book Review: Hands-On Exploratory Data Analysis with Python – insideBIGDATA

The new data science title Hands-On Exploratory Data Analysis with Python, by Suresh Kumar Mukhiya and Usman Ahmed from Packt Publshing is a welcome addition to the growing list of books directed to help newbie data scientists improve their skills. Im always on the lookout for texts that can help my students find their way along the challenging path toward becoming a data scientist. I think this book fills a void for Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) learning resources. But as Ill discuss, the book goes beyond just EDA, and is maybe mistitled its really an introduction to data science and machine learning using the Python language.

The book includes important EDA topics like Descriptive Statistics (Chapter 5), Grouping Datasets (Chapter 6), Correlation (Chapter 7), Time Series Analysis (Chapter 8), and Hypothesis Testing (first part of Chapter 9). These are all critical pieces of the data science process, and lucid discussions along with clear and simple code examples help the reader get moving. The publisher provides all the Python code from the book so the reader can hit the ground running.

My favorite part of the book is Chapter 4 on Data Transformation (aka data munging, or data wrangling). This is a very important area that often accounts for a majority of a projects time and cost budget, and the examples provided in this chapter cover the most commonly needed tasks for a typical data science project (e.g. missing data handling, discretization, random sampling, etc.). Interestingly, data transformation isnt really part of EDA, but I welcome the discussion as it broadens the scope of the book.

Chapter 2 on data visualization is a nice adjunct to the EDA discussions, because these two areas typically go hand-in-hand. Chapter 3 offers up an interesting use-case for demonstrating data access, data transformation, EDA, and data viz. The example centers around reading in all the emails from your Google account and performing a useful data analysis on the data. Nice touch!

Finally, the book also enters the realm of supervised machine learning, starting with the last part of Chapter 9 on regression models. Then Chapter 10 is a short introduction to various machine learning techniques. This chapter, however, is too brief to be a standalone learning resource, but it does kick-start the reader into thinking about this important topic.

The presumed goal of the last chapter, Chapter 11, is to offer a comprehensive data science example using the well-known Wine Quality data set from the UCI Machine Learning Repository. Ive used this data set in my own class materials many times, and its well-suite for this purpose. My only caveat about this chapter is that its too simplistic and too short. But it does give a correct feel for the steps in the data science process, culminating in the use of a number of common ML algorithms and their interpretation.

I would say Hands-On Exploratory Data Analysis with Python is a good addition to the library of a newbie data scientist as it contains many of the most common techniques for putting together a solid machine learning solution. I will be adding this title to my data science bibliography given out to my Introduction to Data Science students.

Data, AI and babies – BusinessLine

Researchers at IIT Madrass Initiative for Biological Systems Engineering (IBSE) are poring over millions of data points to see why babies are delivered prematurely in India. They want to develop models that will predict the possibility of preterm births and help pregnant women guard against such deliveries. The IBSE is an interdisciplinary group using data science to solve biological problems with machine learning.

Professors Himanshu Sinha, quantitative geneticist, and Karthik Raman and Raghunathan Rengaswamy, chemical engineers, have the basic raw material for their research oodles of data. The Translational Health Science and Technology Institute (THSTI), a government clinical research institute of the Department of Biotechnology, under a programme called Garbh-Ini a pregnancy cohort to study preterm birth in India led by Dr Shinjini Bhatnagar has gathered from the Gurugram Civil Hospital since 2015 a mind-boggling 1,300 parameters for each of the 8,000 pregnant women surveyed.

Some of these are microbiome data collected from saliva, feces, vagina; some, information ultrasound scans, and some more on clinical parameters such as blood samples, temperature and blood pressure. Other pieces of data relate to socio-economic factors income levels, number of rooms in the house, the type of cooking stoves used (for possible smoke effects) and so on.

Now, using machine learning, the researchers will develop a model that will show, early during a pregnancy, if a woman runs the risk of a preterm delivery.

India is the preterm delivery capital of the world. Thirteen per cent of the deliveries in India are preterm, which works out to a quarter of all preterm deliveries in the world. Half of the babies delivered early in India dont survive beyond five months. (Preterm is before 37 weeks, while normal term is 40 weeks.) Obviously, this situation needs correction.

Sinha and Raman told Quantum that they got really clean data all numbers checked, outliers verified and properly formatted for machine learning. But some challenges popped up.

One was class imbalance, a common problem in machine learning. The algorithm will learn more from the majority class in the sample and less from the minority, explains Sinha. In this case, the majority of the pregnant women are normal term; only about 13 per cent are preterm. If this is not factored in there are many techniques to do that the predictions will be less accurate. The factors that cause preterm would be not learnt, Sinha says.

Non-linear effects posed another challenge. Simply put, the effect of something the pregnant woman does in the first three months may pop up, not in the second three months, but much later in the pregnancy. It is easier to predict linear effects than non-linear ones.

The researchers have analysed the data of the first three months and developed the first India-specific model to date the pregnancy in the first trimester. Data pertaining to the next two trimesters is being processed right now.

In the end, the doctors will have tools to know if there is a high likelihood of a preterm birth which will point to the need for corrective measures. The outcome will be healthy babies and happy mothers.
