What are the benefits of data science for Canadians?

Data science allows Statistics Canada to better serve Canadians by creating high-value products and services. By applying the latest machine learning and artificial intelligence practices, the agency is able to quickly process large data sets in shorter periods of time, supporting the need for increasingly nuanced data to better understand our country and our economy.

Machine Learning can also be used to make sense of unstructured data such as images or sensor data, quickly classify large amounts of information, summarize and extract key information from narratives, provide predictions and assist with research.

Providing timely, high-quality information

As information needs continue to expand, it is critical for national statistical agencies to apply these innovative solutions to support evidence-based decision making. There are many benefits to data science for Canadians, including:

  • faster, timelier access to data products
  • more accurate results
  • more detailed, granular data
  • reduced response burden on households and businesses.

These solutions also benefit Statistics Canada by giving data scientists the ability to process large amounts of unstructured data, eliminating manual work and reducing costs without compromising data quality.

Data science at Statistics Canada

As the world around us continues to evolve and change rapidly in the digital age, the importance of data and how they are used is critical.

Data science is a rapidly evolving field that can tap into the power of data and empower governments to serve citizens more effectively and efficiently. As the role of national statistical organizations continues to change and expand, these organizations must adapt and embrace new technologies and innovative thinking to support the information needs of society.

Statistics Canada is one of the leaders in the Government of Canada's adoption of data science and artificial intelligence. By taking a collaborative approach to data science, the agency is pushing the boundaries of modernization and harnessing the power of new approaches and technologies to better serve Canadians.

Data science supporting the COVID-19 response

Data science allows statistical agencies to respond quickly to changing economic and social situations. Statistics Canada is using the power of data science to support the COVID-19 response in Canada.

The agency collaborated with Health Canada to visualize the supply and demand information for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Before the data visualization could begin, the data needed to be extracted and ingested. The data were coming daily from many different sources (different provincial/territorial governments, other federal departments and private sector companies that had been hired to help source the PPE) and in many different formats (e.g. Word documents, Excel files, PDFs) and required a significant amount of manual work to create standardized reports.

To improve this process, data scientists at Statistics Canada created an algorithm that parses the data into different data entries. Machine learning was used to identify numbers and dates within the text. The structured data were then presented in a PowerBI dashboard that was shared with other government departments to meet their information needs and better understand the supply and demand for PPE in Canada.

Commitment to privacy and security

As Statistics Canada continues to implement new technologies and innovations, the agency's commitment to protecting privacy and security remains the highest priority. The agency has rigorous measures in place to preserve confidentiality and privacy in the modern digital era.

The amount of data we gather and use and the power of the insights they generate are increasing rapidly. It is known that data are vulnerable throughout its lifecycle: at rest, in-transit and during computation or processing. While the security mechanisms for data protection while at rest (e.g. Symmetric Key Encryption) and in-transit (e.g. Transport Layer Security) are well studied, Privacy Preserving Technologies have emerged in recent years to provide data protection while enabling data processing, such as in statistical analyses.

Privacy Preserving Technologies, or Privacy Preserving Computation Techniques, is a generic term that covers a broad range of approaches that promise to provide protection while collecting the data, processing it and disseminating the results. These approaches are homomorphic encryption, secure multi-party computation, differential privacy, trusted execution environments and zero-knowledge proofs. The data scientists at Statistics Canada are exploring the use of these existing and emerging privacy preserving technologies to continuously address the privacy preservation needs for highly sensitive data. This will also allow for alternative storage options to permit secure remote computing on encrypted data, to benefit from potential multi-party computation opportunities and to derive insights from distributed and inaccessible data.

Data science terminology

Application Programming Interface (API)
Collection of software routines, protocols, and tools which provide a programmer with all the building blocks for developing an application program for a specific platform (environment). An API also provides an interface that allows a program to communicate with other programs, running in the same environment. (BusinessDictionary.com)
Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Artificial intelligence is a field of computer science dedicated to solving cognitive problems commonly associated with human intelligence such as learning, problem solving, visual perception and speech and pattern recognition.

Artificial Intelligence System

A technological system that uses a model to make inferences to generate output, including predictions, recommendations or decisions.

Corpus
In linguistics, corpus is referred to as a large and structured set of texts. In the context of topic modelling, a corpus is a set of documents and each document is viewed as a mixture of topics that are present in the corpus. (wikipedia.org)
Data Science
Data Science is an interdisciplinary field that uses scientific methods and algorithms to extract information and insights from diverse data types. It combines domain expertise, programming skills and knowledge of mathematics and statistics to solve analytically complex problems.
Deep Learning
Subset of machine learning that imitates the workings of the human brain in processing data and improves performance. Typically, a multi-level algorithm that gradually identifies things at higher levels of abstraction. For example, the first level may identify certain lines, then the next level identifies combinations of lines as shapes, and then the next level identifies combinations of shapes as specific objects. Deep learning is popular for image classification. (www.datascienceglossary.org)
Event
An event in the Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a notable occurrence at a particular point in time. Events can, but do not necessarily, cause state transitions from one state to another in state machines represented. (wikipedia.org)
Latent variables
Latent variables are variables that are not directly observed but are rather inferred (through a mathematical model) from other variables that are observed (directly measured). Mathematical models that aim to explain observed variables in terms of latent variables are called latent variable models. (datascienceglossary.org)
Machine Learning (ML)

"Machine learning is the science of getting computers to automatically learn from experience instead of relying on explicitly programmed rules, and generalize the acquired knowledge to new settings."

United Nations Economic Commission for Europe's Machine Learning Team (2018 report)
The use of machine learning in official statistics.

In essence, Machine Learning automates analytical model building through optimization algorithms and parameters that can be modified and fine-tuned.

Machine Learning Algorithms
Machine learning algorithms use computational methods to "learn" information directly from data without relying on a predetermined equation as a model. The algorithms adaptively improve their performance as the number of samples available for learning increases. (Mathworks.com)
Machine Learning Model
A digital representation of patterns identified in data through automated processing using an algorithm designed to enable the recognition or replication of those patterns.
Natural Language Processing (NLP)
Natural language processing (NLP) is a method to translate between computer and human languages. It is a method of getting a computer to understandably read a line of text without the computer being fed some sort of clue or calculation. In other words, NLP automates the translation process between computers and humans. (techopedia.com)
One-hot vector
In NLP, a one-hot vector is a 1 x N matrix (vector), made of 0 and 1, used to distinguish each word in a vocabulary from every other word in the vocabulary. One-hot encoding ensures that machine learning does not assume that higher numbers are more important. For example, 'laughter' is not more important than 'laugh' when both words are represented in the vector. (wikipedia.org)
Parsing
Breaking a data block into smaller chunks by following a set of rules, so that it can be more easily interpreted, managed, or transmitted by a computer. Spreadsheet programs, for example, parse a data to fit it into a cell of certain size. (businessdictionary.com). ML algorithms can also be used to parse data.
Poisson process

A Poisson Process is a model for a series of discrete events where the average time between events is known, but the exact timing of events is random. A Poisson Process meets the following criteria: (towardsdatascience.com)

  • Events are independent of each other. The occurrence of one event does not affect the probability another event will occur.
  • The average rate (events per time period) is constant.
  • Two events cannot occur at the same time
Python
A programming language available since 1994 that is popular with people doing data science. Python is noted for ease of use among beginners, and great power when used by advanced users, especially when taking advantage of specialized libraries such as those designed for machine learning and graph generation. (datascienceglossary.org)
R
An open-source programming language and environment for statistical computing and graph generation available for Linux, Windows, and Mac. (datascienceglossary.org)
Reinforcement Learning (RL)
Reinforcement Learning (RL) is a sub-field of Machine Learning involving a controller (termed an agent) capable of taking actions in the form of decisions within a system. After each decision is made by the controller, the system evolves to a new state and the controller receives a measure of utility. By trial and error, the controller learns from its experience to optimize an action selection strategy that maximizes the expected cumulative utility within the system. RL is typically used to solve problems that can be modelled as sequential decision processes.
Robotic Process Automation (RPA)
Robotic process automation (RPA) is the term used for software tools that partially or fully automate human activities that are manual, rule-based, and repetitive. They work by replicating the actions of an actual human interacting with one or more software applications to perform tasks such as data entry, process standard transactions, or respond to simple customer service queries. (aiim.org)
Semantic
Semantics can address meaning at the levels of words, phrases, sentences, or larger units of discourse. In machine learning, semantic analysis of a corpus is the task of building structures that approximate concepts from a large set of documents. It generally does not involve prior semantic understanding of the documents. (wikipedia.org)
Stochastic optimization
Stochastic optimization methods are optimization methods that generate and use random variables. For stochastic problems, the random variables appear in the formulation of the optimization problem itself, which involves random objective functions or random constraints. Stochastic optimization methods also include methods with random iterates. (wikipedia.org)
Supervised Learning
A type of machine learning algorithm in which a system is taught via examples. For instance, a supervised learning algorithm can be taught to classify input into specific, known classes. The classic example is sorting email into spam versus non-spam. (datascienceglossary.org)
Unsupervised Learning
A class of machine learning algorithms designed to identify groupings of data without knowing in advance what the groups will be. (datascienceglossary.org)
Web scraping
Web scraping is a term for various methods used to collect information from across the Internet. Generally, this is done with software that simulates human Web surfing to collect specified bits of information from different websites. (techopedia)

Thank you for your cooperation.

Reasons why we ask the questions

Steps A to C and question 1 are used to collect contact information and determine who should be included on the questionnaire. They help us ensure that we have counted everyone we need to count and that no one is counted twice.

Questions 2 to 7 provide information about the living arrangements of people in Canada, the family size, the number of children living with one parent or two parents, and the number of people who live alone. This information is used for planning social programs, such as Old Age Security and the Canada Child Benefit. It is also used by municipalities to plan a variety of services such as day care centres, schools, police, fire protection and residences for seniors.

Questions 8 to 10 are used to provide a profile of the linguistic diversity of Canada's population. This information is used to estimate the need for services in English and French, and to better understand the current state and the evolution of Canada's various language groups.

Question 11 provides information on the number of people with Canadian military experience. Governments will use this information to develop programs and services to meet the changing needs of the Veteran population.

Questions 12 to 17 collect information in accordance with the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms to support education programs in English and French in Canada.
