These two roles can sometimes be interchangeable amongst recruiters, however, if you are specialized in either of these roles, you know there is a difference. Both roles share a focus on machine learning algorithms, yet their day-to-day can be very different. Data scientists tend to focus more on use cases like credit card fraud detection, product classification, or customer segmentation, whereas machine learning scientists focus on use cases like signal processing, object detection, automobile/self-driving, and robotics. Below, I will be describing more specific differences between data scientists and machine learning scientists in terms of job goals, dedication, and skills.
