GREAT!

We will have the 1. Data Science Workshop the day after Berlin Buzzwords on JUNE 6!

Who is we?

First of all: YOU! Plus Data Science Berlin (https://www.datascienceberlin.org, Berlin chapter of Data Science Global, https://www.datascienceglobal.org), Scout24 and The unbelievable Machine Company (https://www.unbelievable-machine.com), who will host the 1. Data Science Day in Berlin

What is Data Science?

Data scientists combine entrepreneurship with patience, the willingness to build data products incrementally, the ability to explore, and the ability to iterate over a solution. They are inherently interdiscplinary. They can tackle all aspects of a problem, from initial data collection and data conditioning to drawing conclusions. They can think outside the box to come up with new ways to view the problem, or to work with very broadly defined problems: "here's a lot of data, what can you make from it?" (from O´Reilly radar: https://radar.oreilly.com/2010/06/what-is-data-science.html)

What is the goal of our workshop?

We want to bring different people with different perspectives on big data and data science together! It´s a lot about IT but not only! It´s about Technology, Algorithms & AI, Interfaces & Visualisation, Data (of course) and last but not lease about Business needs & projects! Right?

How is it organized?

We´ll have 4-5 short talks in the morning (15 minutes each) and lots of room & time for Q&As after each talk. In the afternoon there´ll be an ideation workshop where we´ll gather a handful of "IWIK"-questions ("I wish I knew...") and discuss them in small multidisciplinary groups with the experts!

Who will talk?

  • Ted Dunning (MapR, Mahout) on "The infrastructure of data"
  • Melanie Knapp (Fraunhofer IAIS) on "The meaning of data"
  • Stephan Thiel (Studio NAND, nand.io) on "The beauty of data"
  • Uwe Draisbach (Hasso-Plattner-Institute Potsdam) on "The importance of high-quality data"
  • Johannes Kleske (Third Wave) on "The ubiquity of data"
  • Klaas Bollhoefer (unbelievable Machine Company) on "Business needs & data"

Where will it happen?
