Acclaimed data scientist DJ Patil details a new approach to solving problems in Data Jujitsu.Learn how to use a problem's "weight" against itself to:
Break down seemingly complex data problems into simplified parts; Use alternative data analysis techniques to examine them; Use human input, such as Mechanical Turk, and design tricks that enlist the help of your users to take short cuts around tough problems; Learn more about the problems before starting on the solutions--and use the findings to solve them, or determine whether the problems are worth solving at all.
