Seminar: Big Data: It's not about Big nor Data, it's more about Statistics

Abstract: To cook a delicious dish, three (3) components are required—good cooking materials, good kitchen cookware, and good cooking skills. This is the same as doing a Big Data research. To do a good job in Big Data analysis, a reliable data is your material, a powerful computer is your cookware, and the most important cooking skill is in fact the statistical methodology. It is worth mentioning that the cooking material and cookware are buyable, if you are willing to pay. However, the cooking skill (Statistical thinking and methodology) needs to be learnt by yourself. Through many real-life case studies, this talk shows you how to cook good dishes of big data. The future development of Big Data, especially on Internet of Things, will be discussed in details.
