Verdict lists the top five terms tweeted on big data in November 2020 based on data from GlobalData's Influencer Platform. The top tweeted terms are the trending industry discussions happening on Twitter by key individuals (influencers) as tracked by the platform. The massive adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) for driving innovations, top applications of AI, and risks associated with AI were popularly discussed in November. According to an article shared by Dr Omkar Rai, director general of Software Technology Parks of India (STPI), the massive adoption of AI is driving innovations in areas such as health research, data analytics, and robotic assistants, to name a few. Research from UnivDatos Market Insights, a market research firm, finds that AI's contribution to the healthcare sector is expected to grow at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 41% between 2018 and 2025 and will be worth $26.6bn by 2025.

I have always worked with data, since high school, a long time ago in a galaxy far far away. Specifically, my background is astrophysics, with a Ph.D. in the subject. I performed astronomical data analysis, modeling, and simulation for 25 years, while also working on data repositories for space science satellite missions at NASA. I became very interested in the scientific discovery opportunities of very large datasets in the late 1990's, at which time I began my quest into machine learning, data mining, and data science. The motivation for me has always been discovery, from my early days until now.

Why data? Good outcomes depend on good decisions, which depend on good data. The decision value chain is giving up its secrets. Let's have fun figuring out how.

Machine learning leads as Verdict lists the top five terms tweeted on artificial intelligence in August 2020, based on data from GlobalData's Influencer Platform. The top tweeted terms are the trending industry discussions happening on Twitter by key individuals (influencers) as tracked by the platform. Techniques to leverage machine learning algorithms, application of the technology across sectors such as agriculture, and data protection techniques in machine learning, were some of the popularly discussed topics in August. According to an article shared by Dr Ganapthi Pulipaka, a chief data scientist, machine learning is one of the most popular techniques for analysing images. In other news, Jason Brownlee, a machine learning specialist, shared an article on the framework of data preparation techniques in machine learning. In some cases, the data of the machine learning model may itself suggest the data preparation needed.

Written by Dr. Kirk Borne Dr. Kirk Borne is a data scientist, astrophysicist and visionary. Here at Data Makes Possible, Kirk shares his vast experience in scientific data mining, informatics and statistical science research. Just like Western Digital is helping to drive the future through our technologies, Kirk is helping businesses learn how data can enable new frontiers in many ways. I am a big fan of the double entendre as a figure of speech: specifically, a word or phrase that has at least two different interpretations. This can induce your audience to think more deeply about what you're saying and what your words really mean, and they are often ironic or humorous – which appeals to me also, as a wannabe comedian.

What data makes possible today is really much more than what data made possible just a few years ago. In this era of digital everything, data now informs and empowers transformative things all around us. This includes data science organizational culture, early warning detection of important phenomena, predictive (forecasting) of outcomes yet to come, prescriptive (optimization) modeling for better outcomes, robotic automation of complex and/or redundant processes, and deep machine learning for enterprise intelligence from rich data assets. In this first post in a series exclusive to Data Makes Possible, Dr. Kirk Borne, Principal Data Scientist and Executive Advisor for Booz Allen Hamilton, outlines the top 10 trends in Data Science and AI from 2017 that are carrying over into the new year of 2018. In future posts, he will explain the real power of AI and Data Science to augment and assist data-driven decisions and actions in all organizations, regardless of size, industry, or application domain.

Verdict lists ten of the most popular tweets in big data in November 2019, based on data from GlobalData's Influencer Platform. The top tweets were chosen from influencers as tracked by GlobalData's Influencer Platform, which is based on a scientific process that works on pre-defined parameters. Influencers are selected after a deep analysis of the influencer's relevance, network strength, engagement, and leading discussions on new and emerging trends. A top technology influencer, Ronald van Loon shared a video on a bricklaying machine called Sam (semi-automated mason), which could transform the construction industry.Built with an arm jutting out from a cage, the machine reduces manual efforts by picking up bricks, adding mortar, and even placing them accurately in eight to 12 seconds. Built by Construction Robotics, US,Sam needs a human assistant to start the machine, measure the site, and clean the excess mortar.
