Is Data Science the next step for the Statisticians?

Data Science was hot a few years ago. It is no longer a hot topic.

Good thing is, statisticians are gradually coming out of their cocoon to experience the new landscape. In this talk, I will discuss why and how statisticians should take the next steps to learn machine learning before they (statisticians) potentially become obsolete in the industry.
