14 Great Books About Data Science, According to the Experts

Chico Caramago, a postdoctoral researcher in data science at the Oxford Internet Institute came to data science from a background in biology. "Biology is big, messy and complex," he told Built In, "so I was drawn toward tools that could help me make some sense out of that." Usually, humans make sense of the natural world's complexity with our own natural tools: our brains and our senses. Caramago was especially drawn to unsupervised machine learning and natural language processing, which helps humans with everything from detecting signs of metastasizing cancer to understanding foreign languages with Google Translate. At this point, in fact, data science has gotten so sophisticated that it doesn't just enhance our natural abilities -- it mimics them. Take deep learning, for example.
