EMC builds data crowdsourcing talent market in large data age

Beijing Time October 24 news, according to foreign http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/31646.html "> media reports, EMC's Greenplum department focused on data analysis software development, Kaggle is a company focused on statistical inductive talent discovery and deployment. They are now working together to create a market for large data engineers. In this way, a company that does not have full-time data scientists can now wrap up the data analysis work.

Kaggle will host a global data scientist competition. Greenplum customers can search for and view the personal files of these contestants through a product called chorus. Then, companies can pick out the right data analyst, hourly payment for their own enterprises to solve data problems.

The Kaggle data competition covers a wide range of topics, ranging from cosmic dark matter discovery to bond price forecasts. In addition to solving specific data problems, Kaggle can also select those who are good at solving problems. Then kaggle to some big companies to hold some data competitions, and then select the best data talent to sign. Kaggle will charge a certain fee.

So far, the number of registered entrants to the Kaggle has reached 55000, and any entrant can register to be employed by greenplum clients. It is not clear how many people want to participate in the project since it was released only in Tuesday.

"This approach can help companies solve problems and find employers for kaggle," says Anthony Goldbloom, CEO of Gudrum. In addition, it is good for our business. Some of today's participants are attracted by enthusiasm. If you can help them earn a certain amount of money, it will attract more people to participate in. ”

Kaggle will hold a private contest for some of the big projects. Gudrum expects Greenplum customer needs to be simpler. Insurers, for example, often seek ways to improve the employee bonus system. For a specific project, Kaggle will charge a fee ranging from USD 300 to 500 dollars per hour and a certain commission.

Scott Yara, co-founder and senior vice president of Greenplum, said the company now has 25 full-time data scientists, but it is far from enough. "Market openings are hard to fill. Even the world's largest companies have a large demand for data talent. ”

Greenplum and Kaggle's collaboration could be a solution to the shortage of data scientists in the market. Last year, McKinsey Global Cato pointed out that as corporate data gathering was exploding at an explosive rate, demand for skilled data analysts was up to 190,000 in the US market, and the demand for proficient data managers was 1.5 million.

There are a number of other large data solutions, including the creation of an algorithmic and better user interface of the trading platform market for data automation process processing. At present, in some large companies and small start-up companies in both ways are used.
