What Is a Data Scientist? A video interview with Dan Woods [1]

What is a data scientist? That's the question asked of Dan Woods in this brief video interview [2] from Predictive Analytics World [3].

Woods weighs in on areas such as whether data scientist should really be a new job title, the most important qualities to look for in a data scientist, and typical use cases for data science to tackle.

Woods argues that in addition to their technical skills, data scientists must be action-oriented and interested in making a difference through their findings. He also stated that the advent of big data means that we can create a much richer model of the customer than ever before, one that is informed by social media and myriad other sources.
