Unstructured Data:
• Unstructured data is categorized as qualitative data.
• Unstructured data is difficult to deconstruct because it has no predefined
model, meaning it cannot be organized in relational databases.
• Examples of unstructured data include text, video, audio, mobile activity,
social media activity, satellite imagery, surveillance imagery and the list
goes on.
9. What are the different types of sources of data from where we can collect reliable
and authentic datasets? Explain in brief.
Data can be a piece of information or facts and statistics collected together for reference
or analysis. Whenever we want an AI project to be able to predict an output, we need to
train it first using data There could be many ways and sources from where we can collect
reliable and authentic datasets namely Surveys, Web scrapping, Sensors, Cameras,
Observations, Research, Investigation, API etc.
Sometimes Internet is also used to acquire data but the most important point to keep
in mind is that the data should be taken from reliable and authentic websites only. Some
reliable data sources are UN, Google scholar, Finance, CIA, Data.gov etc.
2. Draw the 4Ws problem canvas and explain each one of them briefly.
The 4Ws problem canvas is the basic template while scoping a problem and using this
canvas, the picture becomes clearer while we are working to solve it.
a) Who: The “Who” block helps you in analyzing the people getting affected directly or
indirectly due to it? Under this, you find out who the ‘stakeholders’ to this problem are
and what you know about them. Stakeholders are the people who face this problem and
would be benefitted with the solution.
b) What: Under the “What” block, you need to look into what you have on hand. At this
stage, you need to determine the nature of the problem. What is the problem and how
do you know that it is a problem?
c) Where: In this block, you need to focus on the context/situation/location of the
problem. It will help you look into the situation in which the problem arises, thecontext
of it, and the locations where it is prominent.
d) Why: in the “Why” canvas, think about the benefits which the stakeholders would get
from the solution and how would it benefit them as well as the society.
