正解 A data scientist is an expert who uses techniques such as machine learning and statistics to analyze big data and draws out new insights and value useful for business. Choice ア describes exactly this role of obtaining insights for business use through data analysis, which best matches the definition of a data scientist. Therefore the correct answer is ア.
Incorrectイ
Building the system infrastructure of a high-performance database so that vast amounts of data can be searched at high speed is the role of a database engineer or infrastructure engineer, which differs from the role of a data scientist who analyzes data to obtain insights.
Incorrectウ
Investigating the actual conditions of data handling and management in the field in order to assess the risks related to information systems is the role of a systems auditor (IT audit), not the role of a data scientist who performs data analysis.
Incorrectエ
Using specialized knowledge of cybersecurity to support the planning, design, development, and operation of secure information systems is the role of an information security engineer (security specialist), which differs from the role of a data scientist.
- Data scientist = a professional who uses techniques such as machine learning and statistics to analyze big data and derives new insights and value that can be applied to business.
- Distinguish the roles of similar IT professions: do not confuse it with a database engineer (infrastructure building), a systems auditor (risk assessment and investigation), or an information security engineer (secure system support).
