March 14 – Guest Lecture on Data Science
“Data Science in Real Life: Differences Between Learning at University and Working in the Industry”
For 1st-year master’s students.
Abstract:
Students entering the industry as data scientists often possess theoretical knowledge of algorithms. However, technical expertise alone is not enough to generate real-world value. This lecture explores the practical application of data science, emphasizing the importance of tracking data points to achieve tangible results. We will bridge the gap between theoretical education and real-world challenges by discussing key differences in problem definition, data usage, algorithm selection, success criteria, subject matter expertise, and algorithm deployment and maintenance.
🎤 Speakers:
- Richard Bobek – Data Science, Development Data Science (LinkedIn).
- Justina Ivanauskaite – D&A Strategy, Animal Health IT (LinkedIn).
📆 When: Friday, March 14, 2025, at 12:20 PM (third session).
