My recommendations – SlideShare Presentations on Data Science
Introduction
Every one has their own learning sytle! If you need close hand holding and guidance – an easy going MOOC is probably the best place to start. However, if you are a quick learner and don’t need some one to explain a lot of context, some one who prefers to glance through concepts, apply them a bit and then again refer back to these concepts – presentations can be really handy!
The beauty about learning from presentations is that you can quickly zoom in on the section you want to and come out at your own pace – no one decides that for you! If it fits your learning style, they can be the quickest way of learning a new concept in data science, even faster than videos & blogs. These presentations allow you to achieve much more in less time. So, here is a list of some best data science presentations I have come across on SlideShare.
How can you learn from these Presentations?
Among all forms of media, presentations are probably the most crisp & to the point! You can use them in multiple ways:
- If you already know a concept, you can quickly revise them.
- If you don’t know a concept, you can quickly grab basic knowledge about them.
- If you are fed up of video buffering and reading lengthy articles, here’s the wittiest version of them.
Just like our gigantic universe is composed of several heavenly bodies, data science is composed of several disciplines which completes its universe. I’ve categorized the presentations in following segments:
Note: These presentations have been shortlisted on the basis of their relevancy and views. You are free to access the list in any way sequence you wish. These presentations are in no order.

End Notes
I enjoyed curating this list and wanted to add more presentations to this list, but I realized that the list is getting too lengthy. Not to worry, I’ll surely add it in my next article. In this article, I have enlisted useful resources (presentations) in Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Neural Networks and Deep Learning.
This isn’t an exhaustive list. This list comprises of my most liked presentations. If you wish to recommend me any useful presentation on slideshare which I might have missed, feel free to share it with me in the comments section.
