From AI to Teamwork: 7 Key Skills for Data Scientists - InformationWeek

The Bureau of Labor Statistics lists jobs in data science in the top 15 fastest growing occupations with projected 31 percent job growth over the next 10 years. With data increasingly becoming the lifeblood of all organizations, data scientists need to be equipped not only with the right technical skills, but a robust dose of business acumen as well. In 2021, machine learning methods like transfer learning and transformers are drawing a lot of attention because they are rapidly driving innovation in a number of different spaces. For building and training neural networks, PyTorch has a lot of momentum behind it, and Keras and TensorFlow are also commonly used. There is also a rich ecosystem of software libraries, many open source, that can help accelerate machine learning and data science applications.
