Few of us realize its multiple applications to various domains of human endeavor, from business to science and engineering, and from social service to public security. We should get to know it and embrace it for all its power. The speaker will explain what distinguishes Big Data from data, and how Big Data can change our way of thinking and even new technology itself. He will introduce the exciting “Big Data Triangle” concept made up of Ideas, Data and Technology, from which we can harvest deep insight and great value from Big Data. By using real examples from his research team, he will give us a glimpse of the great promise of Big Data. Finally, he wants our government to harness the super-abundant opportunities in the Big Data era.
