As a data scientist, productivity is a 10X super power.

Here's a short list of AI tools to help data scientists with: 🧵

#ai #datascience #career #skills #tools Image
1. Writing code

AI pair programming is a huge benefit.

Tools like #chatgpt & github #copilot can help debug complex code and replace Googling + Stack Overflowing for common scripting.

Key skill: ChatGPT prompting (more on this in my free ChatGPT for Data Scientists) Image
2. Code Quality & Documentation

Great products have great documentation. AI can help produce documentation, comment code, and replace time-consuming manual documentation with automated AI docs.

Key Skill: Using @mintlify to build your docs: mintlify.com Image
3. Presentations

Great data scientists are storytellers. Use persuasion to your advantage.

Key Skill: Generating images with AI using @midjourney_ai . midjourney.com Image
I'm road-testing all of these.

And I've been quietly researching #ChatGPT for Data Scientists (My NUMBER 1 TOOL) for the past 4 months.

I have good news - I'm ready to reveal my chatgpt research!
If you want to understand how ChatGPT can make you a better data scientist (and mistakes to avoid)...

I'll be sharing my research in a Free WORKSHOP: ChatGPT for Data Scientists (Wednesday, June 7th)!
What's Your Next Step?

Join me and 1,000 data scientists as we crush AI in my LIVE ChatGPT for Data Scientists Workshop.

Seats are limited (1,000 max).

Understanding regression models is essential in data science.

In 4 minutes, I'll demolish your confusion. Let's go: Image
1. The 6 Diagnostic Checks Every Data Scientist Should Run

Once you've built a regression model, your job isn't done. These 6 checks will tell you whether your model can actually be trusted.
2. Posterior Predictive Check

Ask yourself: do the model-predicted lines resemble the observed data line? If your model is a good fit, simulated data from it should look similar to your actual data. When they diverge wildly, your model is missing something important. Image

Understanding probability is essential in data science.

In 4 minutes, I'll demolish your confusion.

Let's go! Image
1. Statistical Distributions:

There are 100s of distributions to choose from when modeling data. Choices seem endless. Use this as a guide to simplify the choice. Image
2. Discrete Distributions:

Discrete distributions are used when the data can take on only specific, distinct values. These values are often integers, like the number of sales calls made or the number of customers that converted.

RIP manual research workflows.

Someone just open-sourced what comes after Karpathy’s AutoResearch.

It’s called AutoResearchClaw.

And this thing is insane. Image
A few weeks ago, Karpathy showed where research was heading:

AI agents running the experiment loop.

That was already a big signal.

AutoResearchClaw takes it even further.

It doesn’t just help with research.

It tries to automate the entire scientific method end-to-end.
You give it a raw idea.

One CLI command.

Then it runs.

Not just “brainstorming.”

Not just “summarizing.”

Actually running the workflow.

These 7 statistical analysis concepts have helped me as an AI Data Scientist.

Let's go: 🧵 Image
Step 1: Learn These Descriptive Statistics

Mean, median, mode, variance, standard deviation. Used to summarize data and spot variability. These are key for any data scientist to understand what’s in front of them in their data sets. Image
2. Learn Probability

Know your distributions (Normal, Binomial) & Bayes’ Theorem. The backbone of modeling and reasoning under uncertainty. Central Limit Theorem is a must too. Image
