Deep analytics: Machine learning new trend in Big Data, say analysts #BigDataNYC

As the BigDataNYC 2016 event kicked off at the Mercantile Annex in New York, NY, Dave Vellante (@dvellante), Jeff Frick (@JeffFrick), Peter Burris (@plburris) and George Gilbert (@ggilbert41), cohosts of theCUBE, from the SiliconANGLE Media team, sat down to discuss what could be expected from this year's event coverage. In particular, the analysts discussed the recent trends in Big Data toward Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning, becoming increasingly attractive to many companies in the enterprise. AI and machine learning with Hadoop has always been a focus area of Big Data, but recently it appears that more companies are moving away from Hadoop in order to bring more productivity and value to the datasets, according to theCUBE analyst team. The main reason for this was because developers wanted more flexibility, which in turn brought unexpected complexity and then a new wave of innovation. "There is this new wave of innovation, a new wave of opportunity," explained Frick.
