big data

“We're building lots of software, hoping it works, and we're not really thinking about the harder intellectual issues at play.”

“Venture capital has not been affected at all by this approach, you know, big data approach.”

“And the way I think about big data is when machines learn from big data is very much like human beings learn from life experiences.”

“So I like something that Peter Norvig, the director of research at Google said when he referred to big data, he says, big data is not just quantitatively different, but it's qualitatively different. In other words, there's something that happens when you have …”

“So it turns out the reason for big data is machine learning.”

“You can think of business intelligence going forward as the ability to apply machine learning algorithms to big data, and not just look at past questions, but also future questions, or asking to predict the unknowns from the knowns.”

“You can answer questions, right? Answer those what if questions? What happens if, you know, a disease is released in this crowd? What happens if we shut down this tube station? Questions which governments and companies want to answer, but which, you know, you …”

“So my favorite example of this is the phrase big data. So a year and a half ago, if you use the phrase big data in a tech job listing, it was positive. You know, it was seen as compelling and cutting edge. In June of 2015, it's not negative, but it's totally n…”

“If you look at big data is not a siloed application. It gets infused through the organization. So it's usually part of some operational business process. And it's really hard to lift and shift it into the cloud.”

“I believe that Application aware big data is sort of the next driver in this space, and we'll get, we will get an application layer that will become very intelligent as a result of this underlying big data.”

“In big data, to me, the fundamental breakthrough is providing information from multiple places and producing insights where the data finds the data.”

“I sort of define big data as it's a mindset. It's about being really fast about using data to make decisions. So it's not just about petabytes of data. It's about, you know, how fast can you leverage data to create business outcomes and so that mindset is what…”

“I think the really interesting thing about insurance is it's the first big data problem.”

“So the convergence of, I'd say mathematical foundations and statistical machine learning tools, the big data and the hardware is created this historical moment of AI.”
