# 📊 Data Scientists
|
|
|
|
### How does Ocean benefit data scientists?
|
|
|
|
It offers three main benefits:
|
|
|
|
* **Earn.** You can earn $ by doing crypto price predictions via [Predictoor](../predictoor/), by curating data in [Data Farming](../data-farming/), competing in a [data challenge](join-a-data-challenge.md), and by selling data & models.
|
|
* **More Data.** Use [Compute-to-Data](../developers/compute-to-data/) to access private data to run your AI modeling algorithms against, data which was previously inaccessible. Browse [Ocean Market](https://market.oceanprotocol.com) and other Ocean-powered markets to find more data to improve your AI models.
|
|
* **Provenance.** The acts of publishing data, purchasing data, and consuming data are all recorded on the blockchain to make a tamper-proof audit trail. Know where your AI training data came from!
|
|
|
|
### How do data scientists start using Ocean?
|
|
|
|
Here are the most relevant Ocean tools to work with:
|
|
|
|
* The [**ocean.py**](ocean.py/) library is built for the key environment of data scientists: Python. It can simply be imported alongside other Python data science tools like numpy, matplotlib, scikit-learn and tensorflow. You can use it to publish & sell data assets, buy assets, transfer ownership, and more.
|
|
* Predictoor's [**pdr-backend repo**](https://github.com/oceanprotocol/pdr-backend) has Python-based tools to run bots for crypto prediction or trading.
|
|
* [**Compete in a data challenge**](join-a-data-challenge.md), or [sponsor one](sponsor-a-data-challenge.md).
|
|
|
|
### Are there mental models for earning $ in data?
|
|
|
|
Yes. This section has two other pages which elaborate:
|
|
|
|
* [The Data Value Creation Loop](the-data-value-creation-loop.md) lays out the life cycle of data, and how to focus towards high-value use cases.
|
|
* [What data is valuable](data-engineers.md) helps think about pricing data.
