Data Science happens as a natural consequence of multiple skills and experiences acquired by working with computers, maths, people and businesses. Some will develop these skills naturally from multiple experiences along many years… But what if there’s a shortcut?
I’ve decided to compile the top 7 resources that I reckon as my fundamental steps in my personal journey towards data science. The resources below are to engender both the interest and the intuition required for dealing with the data and the science involved. Read More

Combine IIoT and Industry 4.0 for Competitive Advantage
IIoT is powerful, but when combined with an Industry 4.0 end-to-end strategic view, the opportunities are considerably greater, writes Martin Davis.
The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is the grittier end of the Internet of Things (IoT) revolution that is sweeping the manufacturing sector. IIoT alone is estimated to deliver 10-25% productivity improvements, but when combined with analytics, automation, lean approaches, and artificial intelligence (AI) , as recommended by Industry 4.0, the opportunity is many times greater.

Data in the Life: Authorship Attribution in Lennon-McCartney Songs
The songwriting duo of John Lennon and Paul McCartney, the two founding members of the Beatles, composed some of the most popular and memorable songs of the last century. Despite having authored songs under the joint credit agreement of Lennon-McCartney, it is well-documented that most of their songs or portions of songs were primarily written by exactly one of the two. Furthermore, the authorship of some Lennon-McCartney songs is in dispute, with the recollections of authorship based on previous interviews with Lennon and McCartney in conflict. For Lennon-McCartney songs of known and unknown authorship written and recorded over the period 1962-66, we extracted musical features from each song or song portion. These features consist of the occurrence of melodic notes, chords, melodic note pairs, chord change pairs, and four-note melody contours. We developed a prediction model based on variable screening followed by logistic regression with elastic net regularization. Out-of-sample classification accuracy for songs with known authorship was 76%, with a c-statistic from an ROC analysis of 83.7%. We applied our model to the prediction of songs and song portions with unknown or disputed authorship. Read More
Eight technologies you should learn to love
We ran 5G speed tests on Verizon, AT&T, EE and more: Here's what we found
Raindrops splat the pavement in downtown Chicago as I balance an umbrella in the crook of my arm and phones in each hand. On my left, I’m downloading the PUBG Mobile game over Verizon’s 5G network. On my right, I’m timing how long it takes to install: 2.5 minutes (versus 6 minutes on 4G). What’s so exhilarating about this moment has less to do with the progress bar on my screen and more to do with bearing witness to one of the first live 5Gnetworks anywhere in the world..
After years of hearing how 5G is poised to change our lives with lightning-fast phone download speeds, and crisp, super high-resolution video calls, AR apps, and real-time gaming that are all lag-free, 5G is finally real. But it’s far from stable — and stability is the one thing 5G desperately needs. Read More
