The most important word there is not data, or coding, or even science. It's Students. The emphasis in this word cloud is not on technical skills, it's on people. And that's what Data Science is about, when you get down to the crux of it. It's about people. About purpose. About meaning.
The CFP for useR! 2024 is open.
useR! 2024 will be a hybrid conference, taking place 8 July to 11 July, Salzburg, Austria. Actively supported by the R Foundation, useR! is the main annual meeting of the global R user and developer community.
CFP Deadline is Sunday 10th March 2024 (23:59 CET)
The {ggsurvfit} package made its v1.0 release! 🕺🏻🕺🏻
Check it out for your survival/time-to-event visualization needs! The plots are fully ggplot and integrate seamlessly with all the ggplot functions you you already know 📈
I love education, and have worked in #EdTech for longer than I've been involved in #DataScience (and long before I heard of #RStats), but I don't have enough experience running workshops. If you're running an online #RStats workshop and could use a TA, I'm available! I read all the things (books/blogs/social media posts/learner questions/github repos/code) so I'm ready to answer questions, but I need more experience with the format!
Please pass this along to your networks!
We just released data on crown maps for 100 million trees in the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) with information on location, species identify, size, and alive/dead status.
We created this dataset by combining deep learning, remote sensing, and extensive field data to build models that can detect and classify individual trees. Models are almost 80% accurate and can be improved with additional field data collection.
I like reading 📖 about other people's computer setups, tools and tech they use as part of their daily work in #datascience 📊and #bioinformatics 🧬🖥️ Anyone got any good links? 🔗
He talks about how he takes modern functional programing techniques from all walks, so not just monads, but reproducible builds (e.g. Nix, although Nix is not yet used), and building these very complex data processing pipelines. He talks about how at Cambridge he has to often sit down with scientists to discuss with them how they gather and process data and produce visualizations.
He then takes the code they have written, often in languages like R and Python, and translates the stateless, functional essence of it into OCaml, and then takes the references to the datasets (often hard-coded URLs) and turns them into proper data sources. The OCaml is annotated with symbols that allow for automatic generation of GUIs.
The data sources are incredibly diverse. Many of them come from scientific experiments that have been ongoing for decades, many of the sources come from multiple generations of measuring devices, where older devices give lower-accuracy information and newer sources give higher accuracy. He also talks about the importance of security for some data sources, e.g. the location of critically endangered animals that would almost certainly be poached if photographs of these animals leaked to the public, what with how easy it is to localize nowadays.
He also inspires computer scientists to use their talents to start talking with activists, and possibly even policy makers, directly to learn what their needs are and see how you can apply yout own skills.
WIlliam Byrd was in the audience and during the Q&A session informed the audience of a workshop related to this kind of intersection of technology and activism at the DECLMed workshop ("Declarative Programming for Biology and Medicine") colocated with ICFP2023, so please check that out as well.
I am still hiring for top-tier programmers and data scientist. Please reboost, share, recommend, or reply if you know anyone who might be interested.
Fully remote! Live and work from anywhere with internet (including the beach!)
I am the company owner, and will be both your direct boss and the hiring manager.
Semantic Web, AI, and Java are some of the key techs. Open-source and Linux oriented experience ideally. OSS contributions and activity will be weighted heavily, particularly in relevant areas.
I have ~13 000 individual timestamped JSON files, I would like to be able to plot all the numerical values and scrub through them to figure out what they represent (semi-documented solar inverter)
What's the best system for this? Most timeseries databases don't seem to handle the import of "old"/non-live data well
There 1 week to apply for the PhD studentship in my lab (4 years, paid as an RA, fees at UK rate) to contribute to understanding how the brain constructs auditory space. shorturl.at/adoJN
Post will require great coding skills so background in engineering, datasciences or neuroscience is ideal!
🚀 ESA Internship Alert (2)! 🌠 Exciting opportunities in data science and machine learning at ESAC for 2024.
🤖 Contribute to shaping the future of science operations through NLP, create ML-ready datasets for ESA Sky or craft Jupyter notebooks for the ESA Mars missions on the ESA Datalabs.
In this time datasci.social has become a vibrant online community with 286 people who have joined from all over the world, from various disciplines or from industry, providing an online home for the #dataScience community, broadly defined.

datasci.social is supported by our community ❤️(https://community.datasci.social/docs/support/) and has turned out a fantastic project which we aim to keep nurturing for many more years! 🌱
To my surprise, I'm actually finding the new NIST Special Publication (Towards a Standard for Identifying and Managing Bias in Artificial Intelligence) quite good so far!
nifty new update for all you #StatsNerds out there! In my goal mapping app, you can now select a team matchup and look at the location of all shot attempts and goals. Updated through 10/21 right now, but will be updated regularly soon!
