Book Description

This open access book explores the challenges society faces with big data, through the lens of culture rather than social, political or economic trends, as demonstrated in the words we use, the values that underpin our interactions, and the biases and assumptions that drive us.

• The Elements of Big Data Value: Research and Ecosystem

  This open access book presents the foundations of the Big Data research and innovation ecosystem and the associated enablers that facilitate delivering value from data for business and society.

• Open Source Data Pipelines for Intelligent Applications

  Provides data engineers and scientists insight into how Kubernetes provides a platform for building data platforms that increase an organization’s data agility. How Kubernetes has changed the way we process big data and why businesses must adapt.

• Big Data Security (Shibakali Gupta, et al)

  After a short description of the key concepts of big data the book explores on the secrecy and security threats posed especially by cloud based data storage. It delivers conceptual frameworks and models along with case studies of recent technology.

• HPC, Big Data, and AI Convergence Towards Exascale

  Provides an updated vision on the most advanced computing, storage, and interconnection technologies, that are at basis of convergence among the High-Performance Computing (HPC), Cloud, Big Data, and artificial intelligence (AI) domains.

• Introduction to Data Science (Rafael A. Irizarry)

  Introduces concepts and skills that can help tackling real-world data analysis challenges. Covers concepts from probability, statistical inference, linear regression, and machine learning. Helps developing skills such as R programming, data wrangling, etc.

• The Data Science Workshop, 2nd Edition (Anthony So, et al.)

  Learn how you can build machine learning models and create your own real-world data science projects. By learning to convert raw data into game-changing insights, you'll open new career paths and opportunities.

• The Data Science Handbook: Advice and Insights

  This book covers the essential exploratory techniques for summarizing data with R. These techniques are typically applied before formal modeling commences and can help inform the development of more complex statistical models.

• Introduction to Data Science (Jeffrey Stanton)

  This book provides non-technical readers with a gentle introduction to essential concepts and activities of data science. For more technical readers, the book provides explanations and code for a range of interesting applications using the open source R language for statistical computing and graphics.

• Introduction to Probability for Data Science (Stanley Chan)

  This book is an introductory textbook in undergraduate probability in the context of data science to emphasize the inseparability between data (computing) and probability (theory) in our time, with examples in both MATLAB and Python.

• Data Science at the Command Line, 2nd Ed. (Jeroen Janssens)

  This hands-on guide demonstrates how the flexibility of the command line can help you become a more efficient and productive data scientist. Learn how to combine small, yet powerful, command-line tools to quickly obtain, scrub, explore, and model your data.

• Computational and Inferential: The Foundations of Data Science

  Step by step, you'll learn how to leverage algorithmic thinking and the power of code, gain intuition about the power and limitations of current machine learning methods, and effectively apply them to real business problems.

• Exploring Data Science (Nina Zumel, et al)

  This book introduces readers to various areas in data science and explains which methodologies work best for each, with practical examples in R, Python, and other languages.

• Elements of Data Science (Allen B. Downey)

  This book is an introduction to data science for people with no programming experience. The goal is to present a small, powerful subset of Python that allows you to do real work in data science as quickly as possible.

• Statistical Inference: Algorithms, Evidence, and Data Science

  A masterful guide to how the inferential bases of classical statistics can provide a principled disciplinary frame for the data science of the twenty-first century. Every aspiring data scientist should carefully study this book, use it as a reference.
