What’s extra necessary, your information or your mannequin?
The 2 opponents stroll into the ring, every claims to have the higher hand. The information scientist pulls out a silver ruler, the deep studying developer pulls out a gleaming hammer — who will construct the perfect mannequin?
In my earlier positions, I’ve labored as each a knowledge scientist and a deep studying algorithm developer. Should you ask me what the variations are between the 2, I’ve obtained 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 completely different?
I believe its the perspective.
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 other — they analyze and manipulate the information such that nearly any mannequin will do the trick.
Or, ought to I dare to simplify it even additional and say that:
Deep Studying = Mannequin Oriented
