A list of terms only

I found this unhelpful as it simply listed every term associated with Data Science in the dictionary.. there are no clear strategies!

Very insigthfull

This is a great source that does not bore you with the technical parts of the topics like other book. I reallly enjoyed this book!

Great explanation!

The best audiobook I've found so far at explaining the theory of Data Science. If you are looking to get into data science. This is a great starter audiobook that will teach you the lingo and the concepts that surround data science.

Very helpful concepts!

Riley Adams, Matt Henderson provides a fair amount of background on the field of data science and follows it up with a comprehensive and practical framework to get any business started down the path of leveraging machine intelligence. The case studies at the end are very helpful in cementing the audiobook’s concepts.

Awesome Audiobook

Data Science for Business is an ideal audiobook for introducing someone to Data Science. The authors have tried to break down their knowledge into simple explanations. I am skeptical of non-technical Data Science audiobooks, but this one works well.

Strategically insightful!

Well explained, strategically insightful, a must listen in today’s new era of data driven business.

Simply a great practical audiobook

I have come to the conclusion that AI is just something all business people have to accept. Ai is around us all and every day. This audiobook has given me a good understanding of how data science works. it also clearly gives you reasons why it is critical to give programmers the right data and instructions to give you the information you need to make the right decisions. I also found it fairly easy to listen (considering i am not a data scientist). Simply a great practical audiobook to help you leverage your data for maximum business benefits.

Very helpful information

This audiobook explains radically what we should adapt to a digital world and how executives should perceive and strategically execute it. As an advocate to emerging data technologies, I highly recommend this audiobook to everyone who is considering taking a share of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

Provides the fundamental knowledge

The audiobook is easy to listen and a must buy for anyone wanting to develop a strong sense of data-literacy and what the author calls machine-intelligence mindset. The first half of the audiobook provides the fundamental knowledge necessary to understand the data science workflow, especially around what to expect, executives involvement, and how to develop critical thinking for each step. I felt that the case studies walked me through these ideas very well and the data strategy workshop at the appendix is a powerful tool to start acting on this initiative.

Great strategies!

This audiobook does a great job explaining what the 4th industrial revolution is all about. The author provides strategies and guiding principles coupled with case studies and actionable recommendations. listening this audiobook will arm any leader with a toolkit to navigate and thrive in the world of data science and machine learning -- I think that this is a must-listen for anyone who is interested in understanding how to employ these new fields to their business.

A reasonable overview into business data analysis and ML but very repetitive.

This is a relatively interesting audiobook with some interesting material, but both books are incredibly repetitive. I am yet to read the supplies PDF which sounds like it may be more useful. If you have a loose understanding of business intelligence but are interested in understanding more about it, data science and machine learning then this is probably a worthwhile investment. If you have a better understanding than that, I would suggest this may seem like very shallow coverage relative to what you are looking for.

Must listen bundle!

I bought this book for understanding the term 'Data Science' and its concept. This book provides a perfect and complete understanding of the topic. Must listen for someone who is going into the field of Data Science or for someone who wants to explore the area and know what it consists. The book provides a simple and deeper understanding.

Great!

Well-explained and easy-to-understand, this book gives a new-comer like me a conceptual framework to think about problems in data science. It helps me to understand what the field really is and what the workflow of a data science project looks like. Particularly interesting is the chapter on data ethics and regulation. I think it is an area that is often overlooked by technical textbook, but should really be emphasized to readers who might someday become a data practitioner. Overall, it’s a very good book and worths your effort to delve into.

Wonderful audiobook

This book covers core concepts in data science in an easy to read manner. Infrastructure for handling big data and the data science ecosystem are introduced along with Machine Learning basics and some useful concepts at a high level(like CRISP-DM, clustering, anomaly detection etc.). A chapter on the privacy and ethics covers GDPR and biases in algorithms. Overall, a good general introduction.

Awesome concepts

This book provided an overview of the fundamental ideas and concepts about data science. It is an excellent intellectual tour to the data science. The only problem I have is that without full understanding of a statistical concept of the differential privacy, it is difficult to understand its application to any algorithm.

Excellent!!

Excellent !! This audiobook is very "direct to the point", with good real examples, it really teach us about the use of Data Science on Business.

Extremely useful!

Extremely useful and thorough, from the perspective of a business person whose business involves overseeing and delivering analytic products. Gives you the details, insights, underlying principles, and a glimpse but not the full set of math that would be necessary to actually be a practitioner.

Great concepts!

Insightful and suitable for beginners interested in joining the data science field. Concepts were also well explained and easy to understand.

Available tools and techniques

Both authors practicing data science professionals. Their audiobook outlines practical considerations, explains available tools and techniques, and shows results of many well-chosen models.

Well explained introduction

A well structured and well explained introduction to this important subject. Clear examples are used and the fundamentals reinforced in many places. Of special interest is the example proposal and evaluation in the appendix. A warning, this will really only make sense by listening the audiobook.
