Similarities
Perhaps the most similar concept of data science and machine learning is that they both touch the model. The main skills that both fields share are:
✅ SQL
✅ Python
✅ GitHub
✅ Concept of training and evaluating data
The comparisons are primarily in programming; the languages each person uses to perform their respective roles. Both positions perform some form of engineering, whether that be a data scientist querying a database using SQL or the machine learning engineer using SQL to insert the suggestions or predictions from the model back into a newly labeled column/field.
✍Both fields require knowledge of Python (or R) and usually version control, code sharing, and pull requests through GitHub.
✍A machine learning engineer can sometimes want to know learn how the algorithms work like XGBoost or Random Forest, for example, and will need to look at the model’s hyperparameters for tuning in order to conduct research on memory and size constraints. While data scientists can build highly accurate models in academia or on the job, there can be more restrictions in the workplace due to time, money, and memory restraints.
Differences
Some of the differences are already outlined in the above sections of data science and machine learning, but there are some key features of both careers and academic research that are important to point out:
✍Data Science - focuses on statistics and algorithms
- unsupervised and supervised algorithms
- regression and classification
- interprets results
- presents and communicates results
✍Machine Learning - focus on software engineering and programming
- automation
- scaling
- scheduling
- incorporating model results into a table/warehouse/UI
Education
Not only can the two roles differ in the workplace, but in academia/education as well.
There are different routes to becoming a data scientist and machine learning engineer. A data scientist might focus on that degree itself, statistics, mathematics, or actuarial science, whereas a machine learning engineer will have their main focus on software engineering (and some institutions do offer specifically machine learning as a certificate or degree).

And the Best Programming Language for Data Science goes to…
The reason for using an ellipsis in the title is that we have always looked at the wrong reasons for choosing a language. There are a bunch of factors that lead to the choice of a certain language. And with Data Science projects flooding the market, the question is NOT “which is the best language” but which one suits your project requirements and environment(work setting).
Most commonly used programming languages for Data Science
Python and R are the most widely used languages among others( for example, Java, Scala, Matlab) for statistical analysis or machine learning-centric projects.
Both of these are state-of-the-art open-source programming languages with great community support. You keep learning about new libraries and tools achieving newer levels of performance and complexity.
Python
Python is well-known for its easy to learn and readable syntax. With a general-purpose(jack of all trades) language like Python, you can build complete scie

Python is well-known for its easy to learn and readable syntax. With a general-purpose(jack of all trades) language like Python, you can build complete scientific ecosystems without worrying much about the compatibility or interfacing issues.
Python codes have low maintenance cost and they are arguably more robust. From data wrangling to feature selection, web scraping, and deployment of our machine learning models, python can get almost everything done with integration support from all the major ML and deep learning APIs like Theano, Tensorflow, and PyTorch.
R was developed by academicians and statisticians over two decades ago. R today enables many statisticians, analysts, and developers to carry out their analysis. We have over 12000 packages available in CRAN (open-source repository).
Since it was developed keeping statisticians in mind, R becomes the first choice for all the core-scientific and statistical analysis. We have a package in R for almost every kind of analysis there is. Data analysis has been made very with tools like RStudio which allows you to communicate your results with concise and elegant reports.
4 Questions to learn about the BEST suited language for your project!
So, how does one make the right choice for their work at hand?
Try answering these 4 questions:
1. Which language/framework is preferred in your organisation/industry?
Depending on the industry you are working in and the most commonly used language by your peers and competitors, you might want to speak the same language. Here is an analysis carried out by David Robinson(Data Scientist), it’s a reflection of the popularity of R in an industry and you can see that R is outstandingly being used in Academia and Healthcare.
So, if you’re someone who wants to go into research, academia or bioinformatics, you might consider R over Python.
The other side of this coin is software industries, application-driven organizations, and product-based companies. You might have to go hand-in-hand with the tech stack of your organization’s infrastructure or the language that your colleagues/teams are using.
And most organizations/industries have their infrastructure based on Python including academia as well:
For an aspiring data scientist, it is a clear choice to learn something which has manifold applications and which could increase their chances of getting a job.
2. What is the scope of your project?
This is an important question because before you pick up a language, you must have an agenda for your project, the extent to which you want to work over it.
R: For example, if you want to simply solve a statistical problem through a dataset, perform some multi-variate analyses, and prepare a report or a dashboard explaining the insights, R might turn out to be a better choice because of its powerful visualization and communication libraries.
Python: On the other hand, if the aim is to first carry out exploratory analysis, develop a deep learning model and then deploy the model within a web application, Python’s web frameworks, and support from all the major cloud providers make it a clear winner.
3. How experienced are you in the field of data science?
For a beginner in data science who has limited familiarity with statistics and mathematical concepts, Python might turn out to be a better choice because it lets you code the fragments of an algorithm with ease.
With libraries like NumPy, you can manipulate matrices and code algorithms yourself. As a novice, it is always better to learn to build things from scratch rather than hopping onto using machine learning libraries.
Whereas if you already know the fundamentals of machine learning algorithms, you can pick up either of the languages to get started with.
4. How much time do you have at hand/cost of learning?
The amount of time you can invest makes another case for your choice. Depending on your experience with programming and the delivery time of your project, you might choose one language over another to get started in the field.

If there is a high-priority project and you don’t know either of the languages, R might be an easier option for you to get started as you need limited/no experience with programming. You can write statistical models with a few lines of code using existing libraries.
Python(a programmer’s choice) is a great option to start off with if you have some bandwidth to explore the libraries and learn about methods of exploring datasets which in case of R can be done quickly within Rstudio.

#Question_by @Spicysuri
What is syntax?
The syntax of the Python programming language is the set of rules that defines how a Python program will be written and interpreted. The Python language has many similarities to Perl, C, and Java. However, there are some definite differences between the languages.

Why Use Machine Learning?
The year is 2049…
New York is overrun by bots and web crawlers. The capabilities of Machine Learning have reached new heights and the world as we know it will never be the same.
Facial recognition technology that helps users tag and share photos of friends can now tag future friends; night drones are on the prowl.
Machine learning powered self-driving cars (and flying cars) are now massively available to consumers. The steering wheel has become a thing of the past.
Recommendation engines that suggest what VR shows to watch and what products to buy will now display a different environment for each user group.
At the dawn of a new age, you can’t help but wonder, what is Machine Learning and how did it pivot our world so drastically?

What is Scikit-learn?
Scikit-learn is a library in Python that provides many unsupervised and supervised learning algorithms. It’s built upon some of the technology you might already be familiar with, like NumPy, pandas, and Matplotlib!
As you build robust Machine Learning programs, it’s helpful to have all the sklearn commands all in one place in case you forget.
