PGPDM in Data Science and Machine Learning

It is no more surprising that ‘Data Science’ has become the ‘most sought-after job of the 21st century’, or you can say the ‘hottest job of the decade’. Do you know why? The reason behind the immense popularity of data science is that it is one of the fastest-growing fields in tech domain at the present – the powerful impact of Data Science in today’s fast pacing world cannot be overlooked at any cost. But What Exactly is Data Science? As a learning discipline, data science involves the collection, monitoring and analysis of large data sets – both structured and unstructured– to extract meaningful insights that can be used by business organizations to devise effective, and result-driven business strategies in real time. By collecting and analyzing large, disparate data sets over a period of time, patterns can be easily identified that not only allow business organizations to get a competitive edge in the market , but also helps in finding new business opportunities, impr...

It comes as no surprise that the word ‘machine learning’ often invokes a sense of anxiety and fear in many of us. Fear of machine learning snatching away our jobs one day, or fear of the myriad possibilities of machine learning. However, those who fear that machine learning will take their jobs can breathe a sigh of relief, because humans are adaptive, they are smart, intelligent and more agile than any machine, AI or robot ever created.  Moreover, they have the potential to find a new job if a machine replaces them in their job. Over the past few years, much has been said about the impact of machine learning or artificial intelligence (AI) on employment, particularly the possible effects of automation. These outcomes will happen differently in different sectors. Only time will tell what jobs will get eliminated, but one thing that is certain is that technology will transform the way we live, the way we work and the way we play.  Machine Learning and Artificial ...
