"We are Drowning in (Big) Data But Starving for Knowledge" -- Advanced Analytics to the Rescue
Shai Fine is a Principal Engineer at the Advanced Analytics group in Intel, focusing on Machine Learning, Business Intelligence, and Big Data.
The exponential growth of data makes the famous (paraphrased) quote by Naisbitt and Rogers relevant more than ever.
The Big Data era have led to the emergence of many tools and techniques designed to cope with the enormous amount of data and translate it into an accessible and valuable information.
But moving beyond retrievable information to the construction of new content, predictive outcomes, and prescription, are still major challenges.
In this talk I will discuss the role of advanced analytics in transforming the accumulated information to an (actionable) knowledge that provide real business value, will review some leading themes, best practices, a few success stories, and shortly discuss some of the key challenges ahead of us.
