Maths. Stats. Python. R. Exam. \u00a0Visualization. Mean. Bias. Max. Dataset. \u00a0Correlation. \u00a0Pandas. Tidyverse. Regression. Capstone Project. Datatable. Numpy. More R. Machine Learning. More Maths. More Stats\u2026 This has been my life\u2019s rhythm for the last 6 weeks, and now I think I understand how is the engine behind those fancy words as Machine learning or Artificial intelligence.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am Beatriz<\/strong>, one of the Spanish students of this third international Data Science Bootcamp. I am an engineer eager for new challenges, amazed of the power of data to improve any kind of business<\/strong> I decided to join this program and just after 6 weeks it will never come to my mind the image of a group on black and white bears eating green Bamboo whenever I heard the word Pandas.<\/p>\n

Now we have covered half of the course and although it has been only 6 weeks it seems that we have been here for 6 months<\/strong>. The intensity and immersion of the program is exhausting but worthy as the knowledge is coming into our brains.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This week has been short but challenging, it started with a long-winded Python exam. Then on Wednesday the struggling math and stats final exam, after 3 hours analyzing normality, linearity and computing regression models we ended this subject that builds the base of machine learning<\/strong> methods. After this exercise we had a resilience break guided by the patient Rodrigo, 15 minutes of meditation<\/strong> that made me feel as if I had just woken up again in the morning. The rest of the timetable has been filled by a lot of Machine learning<\/strong> with R<\/strong> and nice data visualization with Python.<\/p>\n

We have had also time for some leisure, on Thursday, we have celebrated Indian\u2019s New Year thanks to our Indian colleague Vish<\/strong>, who brought some tasty typical sweets to share with us, so I could find out more about how are this festivities in his country.<\/p>\n

Then we had the engaging visit of Monica Villas from IBM,<\/strong> who changed our perspective of that company giving us a wide and useful vision of what does this corporation with Data Science and which innovative tools they have, as Watson, a question-answering computer system capable of answering questions posed in natural language.<\/p>\n

The week never ends as I have to work with my group in our Iberia Capstone Project<\/strong> during the weekend. Now as we are learning different Machine learning models it is time to play with them with real data of customers and flights!<\/p>\n

The weeks run fast but now I have an arising feeling of that those first messy pieces of the puzzle are shaping \u00a0in a great picture.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
