Data Science Syllabus - Detailed Point-

Wise Answers
1. Applications of Data Science in NLP, Health Care, Transport, and
Environment Monitoring
1. Natural Language Processing (NLP):

- Text analysis: Extracts useful insights from large volumes of unstructured text data.

- Sentiment analysis: Determines the emotional tone of words for applications like
customer feedback analysis.

- Language translation: Uses models like neural machine translation to improve


translation quality.

2. Health Care:

- Predictive analytics: Predicts future health events by analyzing historical patient data.

- Medical image analysis: Analyzes medical images (e.g., X-rays, MRIs) to detect diseases
like cancer.

- Drug discovery: Simulates molecular interactions and analyzes genetic data for drug
testing.

3. Transport:

- Route optimization: Suggests optimal travel routes based on real-time GPS, traffic, and
weather data.

- Autonomous vehicles: Processes data from sensors to make real-time decisions for self-
driving cars.

4. Environment Monitoring:

- Pollution tracking: Uses sensors to monitor air and water quality in real-time.

- Climate modeling: Analyzes historical weather data to predict climate changes and
natural disasters.

2. Data Collection and Preprocessing Methods


1. Data Collection:
- Surveys and Questionnaires: Collects first-hand data directly from respondents.

- Web Scraping: Uses automated tools to extract data from websites.

- APIs: Gathers real-time data from platforms through APIs (e.g., stock prices, weather
data).

2. Preprocessing Methods:

- Data Cleaning: Removes duplicates, handles missing values, and corrects errors in the
data.

- Data Transformation: Converts raw data into a suitable format (e.g., normalization,
feature scaling).

- Feature Selection: Selects relevant variables to improve model performance and reduce
noise.

3. Databases and Sensors as Data Source and Generation


1. Databases:

- Relational Databases: Structured data stored in tables with relationships between them
(e.g., MySQL).

- NoSQL Databases: Designed for large-scale, unstructured data storage (e.g., MongoDB).

2. Sensors:

- IoT Sensors: Collect real-time data for smart applications (e.g., smart homes, healthcare
devices).

- Environmental Sensors: Measure temperature, humidity, pollution, and other


environmental parameters.

4. Clustering Algorithm and Application


1. Clustering Algorithms:

- K-means Clustering: Groups data into K clusters based on their similarity.

- Hierarchical Clustering: Organizes data into a tree-like structure by merging or splitting


clusters.

2. Applications:

- Customer Segmentation: Groups customers based on behavior for targeted marketing


strategies.
- Anomaly Detection: Identifies unusual patterns or outliers in the data, useful for fraud
detection.

5. Data for Decision Making


1. Predictive Analytics:

- Uses historical data to forecast future trends, behaviors, or outcomes.

2. Descriptive Analytics:

- Summarizes past data to provide insights into historical events (e.g., sales reports).

3. Prescriptive Analytics:

- Recommends optimal actions based on predictive models and data analysis.

6. Data Visualization
1. Tools:

- Tableau: Provides interactive dashboards for visualizing data.

- Matplotlib: Python library used to create static or interactive visualizations.

2. Techniques:

- Bar Charts: Compare categorical data with rectangular bars.

- Heatmaps: Display the density of data or correlation using color gradients.

7. Big Data
1. Characteristics:

- Volume: Massive amounts of data generated in real-time from various sources.

- Variety: Data comes in structured, semi-structured, and unstructured forms (e.g., text,
images).

- Velocity: The speed at which data is generated and processed in real-time applications.

2. Technologies:

- Hadoop: A distributed framework for storing and processing large datasets.

- Spark: A fast, in-memory data processing engine that can handle both batch and real-
time data.
