How an engineer could possibly understand an data scientist, by using pirates

If you always wondered what goes in on in a data scientists head, this is not the talk for you. If you are wondering how a to understand a data scientist from an engineers perspective, this IS the talk for you!

Instead of just showing and talking about the methods and formulas, this talk will give you a way to get an understanding on how data scientists use these techniques by comparing them with pirate activities. Like entering the right ship not based on a hunch but on actual models, the one they should used during the pirate days.

After this talk, you will have a better understanding of the terms and way of working of the pirates data scientist in your team. So next time you see the following terms: Confusion Matrix, Accuracy, Precision, Recall, Precision-Recall Curve, F1-Score, Area Under the Curve (AUC); let's hope you’ll won’t confuse them with what Captain Blackbeard is doing.
