• Abstract: Data science is creating very exciting trends as well as significant controversy. A critical matter for the healthy development of data science in its early stages is to deeply understand the nature of data and data science, and to discuss the various pitfalls. These important issues motivate the discussions in this article.

  Predictive modelling is often one of the most interesting topics to novices in data science. Students are not as intrinsically motivated to learn this topic, and it is not an easy one for them to learn. Providing extra motivation, guided instruction and lots of practice are key to effectively teaching this topic.

  We review hundreds of pieces of literature which include data science in their titles. We find that the majority of the discussions essentially concern statistics, data mining, machine learning, big data, or broadly data analytics. We focus on the research and innovation challenges inspired by the nature of data science problems as complex systems.
