Not too long ago, data deficiency was a major impediment towards making informed decisions, understanding customer behavior, predictions and forecasting. In the modern digital age, where data continuously streams in all shapes, sizes and from all directions, enterprises are constantly challenged with sifting through petabytes of data to infer key indicators. Making sense of "the right data at the right time" yields a huge competitive edge. Blending real-time streams, batch processing, external data sources and machine learning -- Google BigQuery transcends traditional data warehouse solutions with the ability to offer business insights into data across 3 dimensions -- historical, real-time and predictive. BigQuery democratizes machine learning by letting users develop and operationalize ML models with just SQL skills.

The extensive bibliography provides entry points for further study for the motivated reader. The algorithm descriptions are clear and intuitive in a way that will give you a leg up to implement pre-existing algorithm and even develop your own variations.

Dataiku is going downstream with a new product today called Dataiku Online. As the name suggests, Dataiku Online is a fully managed version of Dataiku. It lets you take advantage of the data science platform without going through a complicated setup process that involves a system administrator and your own infrastructure. If you're not familiar with Dataiku, the platform lets you turn raw data into advanced analytics, run some data visualization tasks, create data-backed dashboards and train machine learning models. In particular, Dataiku can be used by data scientists, but also business analysts and less technical people.

Understanding extreme asset price changes involves combining price history, news, events and social media data, much of which is only available in the form of unstructured text. By applying machine learning technologies to a real-time data pipeline, Refinitiv Labs has developed a prototype to help traders identify and respond to extreme price moves at pace. For more data-driven insights in your Inbox, subscribe to the Refinitiv Perspectives weekly newsletter. Data is abundant, not only in volume, but also in the number of sources it is derived from, the frequency at which it is updated, and the variety of formats it may take. Time spent sorting through that data, however, can keep businesses from generating actionable information at pace.
