Extra credit assignment due April 15

April 8, 2019

For one point added to your final grade, here’s what I’m looking for. Read these following three Q&As and give me 100 words on one of them (your choice).

  1. Death and data science: How machine learning can improve end-of-life care
  2. A day in the data science life: Salesforce’s Dr. Shrestha Basu Mallick
  3. The data science life: Intuit’s Ashok Srivastava on AI, machine learning, and diversity of thought

The 100 words should focus on one of the following:

  • What are the challenges with this topic in regards to data science?
  • How do you foresee analytics affecting the fields that are in the interviews (end of life care, sales assistance and product development)?
  • What was your biggest takeaways from these data scientists?

This will be due on April 15 to me before class via email.
