6 Common Mistakes made in CVs !

Here is what we're finding mistakes in thousands of cvs: 1. Summary: CV should have a short summary of your experience, skills, achievements, so that a recruiter need not read the full cv. 3-4 Bullet points at the top of the CV can summarize it. 2. Length: CV should

Interested in Data Science? Read these Tips!!

It is so good to be interested about Data Science and Machine Learning. Many students think that Data Science is a non technical subject and people with zero coding knowledge, no logical thinking, no creativity can pursue data science courses and can become a Data Scientist. To all those students, looking for building a good portfolio for Data Science, here are some tips to follow: 1. Certifications and courses are not going to take you

Confused between paying for a course on coursera, udemy for certificate?

Have you ever been confused between paying for a course on coursera, udemy for certificate or downloading it from internet for free. "One good Project is always superior than 5 certificates". With zero knowledge of C and a keen interest to learn it, I looked upon the internet for the courses offered by some websites which I found paid. In reality, many students

10 tips for data scientists who don't have much experience on productionizing the ML applications

ML systems are increasingly used in day to day applications. Data scientists often spend a lot of time in designing the model but little on the model post-deployment. In contrast, the software development life cycle emphasizes on testing and production systems post-deployment. ML systems will flourish and can make more impact if they mimic the best practices of software engineering. Machine learning systems directly or indirectly can influence the customers that they are intended to serve. A mis-classification could result in a catastrophe for some random customer. Therefore, it is prudent for data scientists to meticulously emphasize on the testing and production. This article is an extension of the tweet that I posted. I would like to thank Practical AI podcast members and Tania Allard for sharing useful tips. Tips on testing and production — ask these

Before becoming a Data Scientist, learn from these mistakes!!

'Data Science' is a very attractive career path today. A huge lot of individuals start walking on this path and majority of them fall in the trap of these luring mistakes. I also belong to this majority. That is why I am writing this post so that you learn from my mistakes as it is rightly said “Intelligent is the one who learns from others’ mistakes.” Learning theory first and implementing later : Like many others we start our journey by taking a course and learn ‘Data Science’. Mine was no different. Majority of these courses will give you lots and lots of theory. Many courses have quizzes and assignments, but still the practical aspects lack in them because you don’t practically implement things along with the course. Theories are definitely important but they are of no use if you don’t implement and understand its actual use. Relying just on the

Great introduction to data science for total beginners "I wanna be a data scientist, but… how?". Where to start, and what to do step-by-step. Plus, the author gives a few recommendations for what classes to take and lists what skills are required to become a data scientist. Great visualizations too! I wish I had it a year ago. Instead, I had to go through hundreds of job postings to see what skills are required by the job market, and doing many-hours research on upvoted online courses. I found Kaggle and GitHub through my LinkedIn connections and learned them by myself (by the way, there are courses for everything). Good luck in your
