The O’Reilly Security Podcast: Statistical literacy, machine learning, and data visualization.In this episode of the Security Podcast, I talk with Jay Jacobs, senior data scientist at BitSight. We discuss the disparity between intuition and analytics in data science, the limitations of unsupervised machine learning, and the challenges of creating effective data visualizations.Here are some highlights: Intuition vs. analytics It comes down to this battle between intuition versus data analysis. We've been a very intuitively driven industry. The challenge with that is that in a complex environment, our intuition can be easily fooled. Not to say that intuition isn’t valuable. There's a huge value in intuition and expertise in our industry. At the same time, if we really want to understand what's going on, we have to take a step back and actually start to collect data and make sense of that data. The limitations of unsupervised machine learning Unsupervised machine le
