IBM Big Data in a Minute: The Composable Business
Jason Verlen, director of product management at IBM, says that “composable business is one of the most exciting concepts in the market today” because it helps companies bridge that gap between handling of data, and the analytics that you drive into it. Listen as Verlen expands on this.
IBM Big Data in a Minute: Securing and Protecting Data
Data breaches are even scarier today as the risk level increases with more data and devices. We all are acquainted with a Twitter, Facebook or email hack, but how much more critical would these hacks be if the data breach revolved around our personally identifiable data or financial data? Jason Keenaghan, senior project manager at IBM, declares “what it involves is actually needing to have an intelligent framework that’s able to keep track of [and] capture the events that are going on in the environment within your network.”

Analytics: How Big Data Can Solve our Most Complex Problems
Data rates are growing some 40% each year, and the sheer amount of data has outstripped common analytics and staffing levels — creating a serious data analysis gap. To move forward, organizations must transform big data into smart data, which means being able to analyze data on a massive scale and quickly use it to provide deeper insights, create new products, and differentiate services. New data science is built on velocity (fast moving data), variety (different kinds of data), and volume (large amounts of data). This panel will explore what kinds of approaches and analytic tools are now being used and to what end. It will also examine the opportunities, risks, and likely developments the near future holds as analysis helps us transform the commodities of big data into valuable smart data.

Big Data Lesson By Tim Smith
There is a mind-boggling amount of data floating around our society. Physicists at CERN have been pondering how to store and share their ever more massive data for decades – stimulating globalization of the internet along the way, whilst ‘solving’ their big data problem. Tim Smith plots CERN’s involvement with big data from fifty years ago to today.

Susan Etlinger: What Do We Do With All This Big Data?
Does a set of data make you feel more comfortable? More successful? Then your interpretation of it is likely wrong. In a surprisingly moving talk, Susan Etlinger explains why, as we receive more and more data, we need to deepen our critical thinking skills. Because it’s hard to move beyond counting things to really understanding them.
TEDTalks is a daily video podcast of the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world’s leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes (or less).

Big Data, Small World: Kirk Borne at TEDxGeorgeMasonU
Talk given at TEDxGeorgeMasonU, April 6th 2013.
Read full bios and event information at www.TEDxGeorgeMasonU.com
Dr. Kirk Borne is a Multidisciplinary Data Scientist and an Astrophysicist. He is Professor of Astrophysics and Computational Science in the George Mason University School of Physics, Astronomy, and Computational Sciences (SPACS). He received his B.S. degree in physics from LSU and his Ph.D. in astronomy from Caltech. After 20 years working in NASA, he changed course and became a data scientist in the then new field of ‘Data Mining’. His TEDx talk covers some of the basic ideas behind data mining, and how it influences us every day. If you are a Twitter user, you can follow him there as he actively tweets about Big Data, Data Science, and Astronomy under the handle @KirkDBorne.

About TEDx:
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
Deep Learning: Intelligence from Big Data
Deep Learning: Intelligence from Big Data
Tue Sep 16, 2014 6:00 pm – 8:30 pm
Stanford Graduate School of Business
Knight Management Center – Cemex Auditorium
641 Knight Way, Stanford, CA
A machine learning approach inspired by the human brain, Deep Learning is taking many industries by storm. Empowered by the latest generation of commodity computing, Deep Learning begins to derive significant value from Big Data. It has already radically improved the computer’s ability to recognize speech and identify objects in images, two fundamental hallmarks of human intelligence.
Industry giants such as Google, Facebook, and Baidu have acquired most of the dominant players in this space to improve their product offerings. At the same time, startup entrepreneurs are creating a new paradigm, Intelligence as a Service, by providing APIs that democratize access to Deep Learning algorithms. Join us on September 16, 2014 to learn more about this exciting new technology and be introduced to some of the new application domains, the business models, and the key players in this emerging field.
