Data
science is an inter-disciplinary field
that uses scientific methods, processes, algorithms and systems to
extract knowledge and insights from many structural and data.
Data science is related to data mining, deep learning and big data.
Data
science is a "concept to unify statistics, data analysis, machine learning and their related methods" in order
to "understand and analyse actual phenomena" with data. It uses
techniques and theories drawn from many fields within the context of mathematics, statistics, computer science, and information science. Turing award winner Jim Gray imagined
data science as a "fourth paradigm" of science (empirical, theoretical, computational and now
data-driven) and asserted that "everything about science is changing
because of the impact of information technology" and the data deluge
