Introduction

Data can’t make your past better. However, it you surely can create an awesome future.

In recent years, companies have invested millions of dollars in the field of data science. They have shown immense faith in its potential to create a better world, a better life and a better future.

The powerful trio of mathematics, computer science and domain expertise has re-defined the process of decision making. Intuition or gut no longer remains the key to make complicated decisions.

What was considered to be path breaking invention few years back, has now become obsolete. Data Science has empowered us with possibilities beyond imagination. Over the years, lots of things have decayed & evolved. Still, the best of technology is yet to come. I’m excited to see it in front of my eyes!

20 powerful images which perfectly captures growth of data science

 

What do these images show ?

We all know images are easy to comprehend and conveys more information than text. Basically, these images depict the journey of data science as a field. These include the developments, inventions, achievements and everything that has made an impact on our daily lives.

You talk about politics, economics, science, life, sports, almost everything is blessed by services of data science. And, I’ve tried to captured the best of them in these pictures.

Hope you like them!

 

20 Pictures

1. This event marked the beginning of ‘data scientist’ revolution. After this research report got published, the world immediately acknowledged the ‘potential’ needed to make sense out of the data.

3. This came as the first breakthrough in Artificial Intelligence. IBM created its first artificially intelligent computer IBM Watson. It was created to compete in the popular game show ‘Jeopardy’. Eventually, Watson defeated two of these greatest Jeopardy champions (Ken & Brad). This marked the beginning of next level artificial intelligence.17jeopardy_337-span-articleLarge

 

4. Data science plays a significant role in baseball. This caused sudden up surge in the demand and availability of players data near 2000. It is said that the years after 2000 marked the beginning of data revolution in baseball. (Image Source : Datanami )baseball

 

5. In 2009, Netflix organized a competition to improve the accuracy and relevance of its content recommended system. This team solved the mystery. Won $1,000,000 prize money. Surely, this is one of the most notable event in data science history.netflix-prize1

 

6. This is statistics at its best. Peter Brand (Moneyball) explains statistically the number game which can get them wins in the upcoming baseball season. His popular dialogue “In baseball, the goal shouldn’t be to buy players. The goal should be to buy wins. In order to buy wins, you need to buy runs !”

7. In 2012 Presidential Elections, Nate Silver correctly predicted 50 out of 50 states. He used probability, graph theory, bayes theorem techniques to achieve this feat. This level of accuracy brought using statistics completely changed the way making political predictions.

17. Every moment, artificial intelligence is becoming better to challenge human intuition. Robots can now look & think like humans. However, extra sensory perception yet remains a challenge. Don’t get baffled if you see lot of these species in our surroundings in near future.
