Data Science,--new name for Machine learning and Statistics in Industry

I became fascinated with data, it is powerful and it hides in itself great pieces of knowledge. How to leverage the data to get the fruit of knowledge.... be a data scientist...How?? become passionate about it..I am sharing one video of a person I greatly admire, she is Hilary Mason,a famous data scientist speaking at Strata 2011.
Strata 2011, Hilary Mason

Listen to her talk and imagine the endless ways you can use data ..!

My First Post

This is my first blog: So, whats up!, I am a budding Machine Learning Engineer passionate about Machine Learning research and development, and scalable implementations of the challenging machine learning techniques. After completing my graduate studies, I, like many others entering the void called practical life, was searching for my identity. You may think of the 'identity' as a field of profession one could associate with instead of some weird philosophical concept, as my intention is to keep this blog primarily for my experiences in industry. In this blog, I plan to share my ideas about how I feel Machine learning course work should be designed to meet the demands of industry. I also would share my views on the newly emerging paradigm of "Knowledge based economy". I feel this paradigm has great impact on students who want to pursue studies in Electrical Engineering/Computer Science and related disciplines in terms of career paths they can pursue.
So if you are a student, and want to know more about the things I have mentioned above, stay tuned to this blog. The world is a global village, as cliche it may sound, it is really true and especially for people like me who want to learn newly emerging technologies. So I would also share course websites, video lectures etc. which anyone with a sound background in the basics of computer science should be able to follow and learn new skills from the comfort of their homes.
As a start, I would like to share today something fundamental, a great course on Data Structures offered in University of California Berkeley, Data Structures Course at Berkeley , video lectures are available on youtube with assignments and detailed stuff on the course webpage, a great resource for anyone interested in Data Structures.
