Data Scientists Thoughts that Make Me Happy
Chris WigginsChief Data Scientist at The New York Times & Associate Professor of Applied Mathematics
at Columbia University
Scientists are human beings too whether they know it or not
The great thing about predictions isthat you can be wrong
The main driver of my ideas has been seeing people
doing it “wrong”
The key is usually to just keep asking “So what ?”
The most exciting thing is realizing that something everybody thinks is
new is actually really damn old
Thanks
