When there is a conversation about data, many things need to be clarified about data analysis, data engineering, data science and artificial learning towards machine learning. For example, have you ever thought about the job titles of data analyst, data engineer, data science, data analytics and machine learning? And what are the differences between these titles? Of course, it will also show how scientific researchers and actuarial analysts relate to those titles.
