Exploring the Fundamentals of Data Science

The video introduces data science, explaining how data is recorded and organized into a feature matrix. It covers two main types of models: unsupervised and supervised learning. Unsupervised learning, such as clustering, helps group similar customers, while supervised learning predicts new customer behavior based on existing data. The video emphasizes the practical applications of these models in targeting ad campaigns and improving business strategies.
