It is easy to be annoyed by strange anomalies when they are sighted within otherwise clean (or perhaps not-quite-so-clean) datasets. This annoyance is immediately followed by eagerness to filter them out and move on. Even though having clean, well-curated datasets is an important step in the process of creating robust models, one should resist the urge to purge all anomalies immediately — in doing so, there is a real risk of throwing away valuable insights that could lead to significant improvements in your models, products, or even business processes.

Why Data Anomalies are More Important Than You Think

As-Salaam Alaykum, peace be upon you. My name is Mohammed al Global-Citizen. I am a blunt representation a large demographic on Earth. I most likely live in a coastal urban or peri-urban setting. I have limited to no access to sanitary plumbing, clean water, electricity, effective governance, legal justice, the use of an alphabet, or preventative healthcare. Notably, computer algorithms play no direct role in my life.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>I earn the equivalent of $1 United States Dollar a day through physical labor. The money I earn covers basic family needs, perhaps some entertainment money, however, I do not have a bank account and access to scalable financial tools and opportunities are not even a viable wish. Recognizing the challenges of the context of my life, my struggles are measurably better than any woman in my life.

This morning, I saw a video about a drive to save India’s rivers. The solutions being advocated all revolved around trees. Plant more trees, create green belts on both banks of every river, and so on. That’s definitely an important part of the solution. But it’s not the root of problem.

My twitter feed was abuzz this week with news of a Russian spy boat miles off the coast of Connecticut’s US Naval Submarine Base in Groton. This would’ve been a good time to test the Navy’s newest weapon — the <a href="https://robotrabbi.com/2016/06/09/armsrace/" target="_blank">Sea Hunter</a> — an autonomous marine defense system (shown below). The concept of an encounter between autonomous and manual vessels waging battle is a good metaphor for future conflicts across industries from defense to energy to shipping.

Although the notion of Open Data and especially Open Government Data has been around for quite some time; the idea started gaining traction circa 2009. Open Government Data started becoming visible in the mainstream with various Governments such as the USA, UK, Canada, New Zealand among others announcing numerous initiatives towards opening up their public information. The Indian Government also released some of its data as a part of the Open Government Data initiative on the <a href="http://www.data.gov.in/" target="_blank">website</a>&nbsp;. These datasets are substantially large in nature and their value lies in how these can be reused and recombined in multiple ways.

Sometimes a yearbook doesn’t quite cut it. In our final semester of university, the Systems Design Engineering class of 2017 was curious and wanted to dig a little deeper. We wanted something that captured our five years at the University of Waterloo and could give a sense of who we had become. What resulted was an in-depth survey, asking questions that covered everything from co-op salaries to love lives, from family origins to dreams for the future. 94% of the 82 students participated, resulting in a complete and comprehensive profile of our&nbsp;class.
