Introduction to Watson Studio

-

 Watson Studio is a collaborative platform for the data science community, utilized by Data Analysts, Data Scientists, Data Engineers, Developers, and Data Stewards. It enables users to analyze data, construct models, and create projects to organize data connections, data assets, and Jupyter notebooks. With Watson Studio, users can upload files, clean and shape data, and create and share data visualizations via dashboards without coding. Additionally, Watson Knowledge Catalog provides a secure enterprise catalog management platform for trusted and meaningful data, while Watson Machine Learning offers tools and services for building, training, and deploying machine learning models.


Cloud Pak for Data as a Service is a secure, seamless data access and integration platform that provides a unified view of data from multiple sources. It includes IBM Watson Studio, IBM Watson Knowledge Catalog, IBM Watson Machine Learning, and more. Within IBM Cloud Pak for Data, users can access step-by-step tutorials for integrating data, building, deploying, and testing models, and creating collaborative data workspaces called Projects. The platform also offers news and updates.


In the navigation menu, users can access Projects, where they can perform various tasks related to data science, data engineering, data curation, or machine learning and AI. The Deployments section allows users to train, deploy, and manage machine learning models, while the Services section provides access to different services associated with the account. The Gallery showcases a collection of datasets, notebooks, industry accelerators, and sample projects, allowing users to explore and download relevant resources.


The architecture of Watson Studio revolves around the project, where users can manage all their projects, access context information, and perform actions such as loading data files. The RStudio integrated development environment (IDE) is included, enabling users to use R notebooks and scripts in their projects. The Overview page keeps users updated with recent assets, resource usage, project description, and history.


Under the Assets tab, users can create analytical assets such as flows, visualizations, experiments, or notebooks. The Jobs tab allows users to run assets immediately or schedule them, while the Manage tab provides control over access, environments, user groups, and active runtimes. Services and integrations enable users to associate IBM Cloud services, third-party integrations, and graphical builders like Dashboards Editor and Data Refinery to refine data and create predictive models.


The Jupyter notebook editor within Watson Studio facilitates interactive, exploratory data analysis programming, and data visualization, making it ideal for users new to Jupyter notebooks. Overall, Watson Studio is a valuable tool for analyzing and viewing data, cleaning and shaping data, embedding data into streams, and creating, training, and deploying machine learning models, thereby promoting career growth and requiring no special skills to learn.

Notes on Hiring for Data Science Teams

-
  Unicorn Myth in Hiring: Companies often seek individuals with a myriad of skills for data science roles. Ideal candidates possess domain-specific knowledge, excel in data analysis, and have strong presentation and storytelling skills. However, finding such a "unicorn" is rare, and the focus should shift to other essential qualities. Resonance with Company DNA: The key is to identify applicants who resonate with the company's values and business domain. While analytics skills can be taught, passion for the business is intrinsic and contributes significantly to productivity. Curiosity Matters: Curiosity is a top priority in hiring for a data science team. Candidates should demonstrate a broad curiosity, showing interest in various aspects of their surroundings beyond just data science. Sense of Humor: A lighthearted approach is crucial, as being too serious may hinder collaboration and creativity. A sense of humor aids in navigating challenges and fosters a positive work ...

switch functions

-
  Nested IF Function : The  nested IF  function allows you to perform tests with multiple conditions and return different values based on the results of those tests. It is called “nested” because one IF function is embedded inside another IF function. Syntax of a generic nested IF formula: =IF(condition1, result1, IF(condition2, result2, IF(condition3, result3, result4) ) ) Each subsequent IF function is embedded into the  value_if_false  argument of the previous function. SWITCH Function : The  SWITCH  function is a more compact alternative to nested IF statements. It compares an expression against a list of values and returns the result according to the first matching value. Syntax of the SWITCH function: =SWITCH(expression, value1, result1, [default or value2, result2], ... [default or valueN, resultN]) It has four arguments: expression : The value to compare against the list of values. valueN : A value com...
