The Power of Big Data | Dr. Gianluca Demartini

More and more data is being generated around us by every activity in our daily life. Such large amounts of data are changing the way in which we do things and are used by companies and organizations to make data-driven decisions. From mobile phones, wearable devices, up to the shopping we do, more and more data is being stored and analyzed for a number of commercial and humanitarian purposes. In this talk, the guest speaker will present Big Data dimensions and examples of large data processing infrastructures that companies such as Facebook and Google currently use. The speaker will then talk about the way big data is changing our lives including, for example, how advertisement is being personalized based on our individual data and how working patterns are today decided by data and algorithms. Finally, the guest speaker will present his Big Data research where he investigates novel ways to provide access to information on the Web by integrating structured and unstructured content together using human-in-the-loop Artificial Intelligence methods.
