FOUNDATIONS OF DATA SCIENCE – ASSIGNMENT -1

“Data science is the study of data to extract meaningful insights for


business. It is a multidisciplinary approach that combines principles
and practices from the fields of mathematics, statistics, artificial
intelligence, and computer engineering to analyze large amounts of
data.”

FACTS OF DATA

1.STRUCTURED
Structured data is data that has a standardized format for efficient access by software and humans
alike. It is typically tabular with rows and columns that clearly define data attributes.

Structured data examples:


 Excel files
 SQL databases
 Web form results
 Product directories

2.UNSTRUCTURED
Unstructured data is data that you cannot store in the traditional structure of a relational database. It’s
sometimes referred to qualitative data — you can derive meaning from it, but it can also be
incredibly ambiguous and difficult to parse.

Unstructured data examples:


 Email
 Text files
 Social media
 Survey responses
3.NATURAL LANGUAGE
Natural language processing (NLP) is the ability of a computer program to understand human
language as it's spoken and written -- referred to as natural language. It's a component of artificial
intelligence (AI).

Natural language data examples:


 Text extraction
 Machine translation
 Natural language generation
 Customer service automation.

4.MACHINE GENERATED
Machine data, also known as machine-generated data, is information created without human
interaction, stemming from computer processes or application activities. This type of data spans
across various industries.

Machine generated data examples:


 Operations analytics
 Security analytics
 Business analytics
 Cloud application

5.GRAPH-BASED
A Graph data base is a systematic collection of data that emphasizes the relationships between the
different data entities. The NO SQL database uses mathematical graph theory to show data
connections.

Graph-based data examples:


 Fraud detection
 Recommendation engines
 Route optimization
 Knowledge management

6.AUDIO, VIDEO AND IMAGE


Audio, image, and video are data types that pose specific challenges to a data scientist. Tasks that are
trivial for humans, such as recognising objects in pictures, turn out to be challenging for computers.

Audio, video and image-based data examples:


 Audio: A song recording
 Video: A CCTV footage
 Image: A picture of a sunset

7.STREAMING DATA
Streaming data is data that is emitted at high volume in a continuous, incremental manner with the
goal of low-latency processing. Streaming data includes location, event, and sensor data that
companies use for real-time analytics and visibility into many aspects of their business.

Streaming data examples:

 Real-time stock trades


 Marketing, sales, and business analytics
 Customer/user activity
 Monitoring and reporting on internal IT systems
