Many amateur data scientists have little respect to math/stat behind all computational modelsMath/stat contains the modelers’ logic and intuition to real world dataGood data scientists are ones with excellent intuition On SIAI’s website, we can see most wannabe students go to MSc AI/Data Science program intro page and almost never visit MBA AI program pages….
Top brains in AI/Data Science are driven to challenging jobs like modelingSeldom a 2nd-tier company, with countless malpractices, can meet the expectationsEven with $$$, still they soon are forced out of AI game A few years ago, a large Asian conglomerate acquired a Silicon Valley’s start-up just off an early Series A funding.

Transition from column to matrix, matrix to tensor as a baseline of data feeding changed the scope of data science, but faster results in ‘better’, only when we apply the tool to the right place, with right approach. Back in early 2000s, when I first learned Matlab to solve basic regression problems, I was told…
When an expectation for future is shared, market reflects it immediatelyUS Fed hints to lower interest rates in March, which is already reflected in pricesBitcoin prices also rely on people’s belief on speculative demands The US Fed determines the base interest rate approximately once every 1.5 months, eight times a year.
