    Dec 22 2024

    #Christmas Special🎄𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐚 𝐢𝐬 𝐇𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐭. 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐁𝐢𝐚𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐍𝐨𝐭.

    As 2024 comes to a close, it's time to pause and reflect on how we make decisions in data-driven projects. In this Christmas Special, we’re diving into the fascinating world of ”𝐂𝐨𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐁𝐢𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐚 𝐒𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞”. 🧠✨

    In this episode, you'll learn…

    🎯 See how your own bias might be sabotaging your data science thinking process

    🎯 Reflect on the decision-making process in 2024

    🎯 Explore strategies to refine and elevate your approaches for 2025

    In fact, 👾 massive algorithms built for mass usage cannot be created by one person alone—and cognitive biases are one of the reasons why.

  • #24 Mentoring Insights: Top 5 Data Science Questions from Singapore - DODS
    Nov 24 2024

    Ever found yourself wondering, “Is data science really for me?” Or maybe you’ve asked, “What does it actually take to become a data scientist?” We’ve been there, too!

    That’s why in our latest episode “Mentoring Insights: Top 5 Data Science Questions from Singapore”, we dove into some of the most common (and often intimidating) questions about breaking into the field of data science:

    🌟 How do I know if data science is for me?

    🎓 Which qualifications do I really need?

    💡 Why isn’t a single course or bootcamp enough?


    If you’re considering a career in data science or trying to navigate the next step, this episode is for you. 💙 And remember, it’s okay to feel overwhelmed at first; every expert you admire was once a beginner!

  • #23 In AI we trust ?!
    Oct 27 2024

    In our latest episode of Diaries of a Data Scientist we dive into one of the most pressing challenges we face today: 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐝𝐨 𝐰𝐞 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐀𝐈 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐚 𝐒𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬? 👀👀

    Kate recently met with a team of data scientists in Brazil, where key questions many of us have faced were raised:

    — How do we make business teams trust our models❓

    — How can we translate complex technical concepts into something business people 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 understand❓

    — And how do we ensure our models deliver exactly what’s needed❓

    In this episode, we break down 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐞𝐬 you can use to bridge the gap between tech and business, build transparency, and most importantly—gain trust.

    Plus, we’re sharing 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐠𝐮𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 on making your strategies more accessible and trusted, drawing insights from our experience, the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), and how explainability is shaping trust in tech.

    Trust me, you don’t want to miss this one. 😉
