The term Big Data has been significantly overhyped. The
reality is that Big Data doesn’t matter unless actionable business insights are
gleaned from that data. A comprehensive solution also needs to scalably address
key client concerns such as privacy, security, and intellectual property rights. The Big Data and Advanced
Analytics SIG will focus on the following topics:
Big Data and Advanced Analytics Concepts:
- What is ‘Big Data’ / Advanced Analytics and why should we care?
- Structured vs. unstructured; SQL vs. NoSQL: What does it all mean?
- Need for scale: machine learning and ‘Big Data’ / Advanced Analytics
- Big Data / Advanced Analytics and the ‘Democratization of Data’
The Big Data Ecosystem:
- Infrastructure: faster data access, streams, specialized hardware,…
- Middleware: data-access, manipulation, mining, metadata tagging,…
- End solutions: advanced analytics, automated interventions,…
- The war for talent: seeking the elusive Data Scientist
Delivering Real Client Impact:
- From technology toolkits to solutions focused on solving end-customer business needs: how Big Data / Advanced Analytics has evolved
- Real client case studies of the impact of these technologies
- Protecting privacy, security, intellectual property in a Big Data world
The Future of Big Data / Advanced Analytics:
- Data platforms and cloud based analytics
- Automated Data Scientist technologies
- Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence
The Big Data and Advanced Analytics SIG is chaired by:
- Arijit Sengupta from BeyondCore
- Murray Campbell from IBM
