10 questions · two minutes

1. Your model scores very well on training data but poorly on new data. What do you do?

2. How do you feel about the mathematics behind machine learning – linear algebra, probability and optimisation?

3. You receive a large, messy dataset with missing values and outliers. How do you approach it?

4. Your project team includes people from several countries, and code reviews and presentations are in English. How do you feel about that?

5. A new research paper presents a deep learning architecture. What do you do?

6. Your model will help decide who gets a loan. What concerns you?

7. How do you choose between a simple model and a complex one?

8. Would you like to work on a research project, for example for your Master’s thesis or a publication?

9. Where can you see yourself after this degree?

10. What motivates you most to pursue a Master’s degree in Data Science?

⇑Definitions and quotes

Data
Data ( DAY-tə, DAT-ə, DAH-tə) is a set of values of qualitative or quantitative variables.
Data Science
Data science is an interdisciplinary field of scientific methods, processes, algorithms and systems to extract knowledge or insights from data in various forms, either structured or unstructured, similar to data mining.
Science
Science (from Latin scientia, meaning "knowledge") is a systematic enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the universe.
Science
Within the short span of a human life and with man's limited powers of memory, any stock of knowledge worthy of the name is unattainable except by the greatest mental economy. Science itself, therefore, may be regarded as a minimal problem, consisting of the completest possible presentment of facts with the least possible expenditure of thought.
Ernst Mach, The Science of Mechanics: A Critical and Historical Account of Its Development (1893) p. 490, Tr. Thomas J. McCormack.
Science
Take a look at George Gamow, who is now recognized as one of the great cosmologists of the last hundred years. I speculate that he probably didn't win the Nobel Prize because people could not take him seriously. He wrote children's books. His colleagues have publicly stated his writing children's books on science had an adverse effect on his scientific reputation, and people could not take him seriously when he and his colleagues proposed that there should be a cosmic background radiation, which we now know to be one of the greatest discoveries of 20th-century physics.
Michio Kaku, in "Borrowed Time: Interview with Michio Kaku".
Science
Science falsely so called.
I Timothy, VI. 20. Quotes reported in Hoyt's New Cyclopedia Of Practical Quotations (1922), p. 691-92
