Why is data ingestion important?

- [Miki] Algorithms govern our life. They trade the stock market, control our police patrolling and soon will drive our car. All of these algorithms are trained on data. Sometimes a lot of data. What surprises many people doing data science is that finding high quality and relevant data takes most of their time. Hi there, I'm Miki Tebeka and for more than 10 years I've been helping researchers become more productive. In this course, I'll show tips and tricks from my experience of getting the right kind of data into the hands of scientist. We'll cover many sources of data from files to APIs to databases. We'll also talk about validating and cleaning data and how to integrate data quality in your process. At the end of this course you'll be able to fit your algorithm with the data it needs no matter where it's residing.
