As our ability to gather and store data improves, we are faced with the task of analysing these ever-growing mounds of information. This has required Statisticians to gain computing and database skills, and Engineers and Computer Scientists to learn statistical modeling and data analysis.
The result is a data scientist, one of the hottest job-descriptions in the tech world.
In this talk I will give some examples of big data and data-science challenges, and explore some approaches in detail.
