Four American dramas teach you to read big data

Large data, or massive data, is a collection of data consisting of huge quantities, complex structures and many types of data, and is a data processing and application model based on cloud computing, through the integration and sharing of data, the intelligence resources and knowledge service ability formed by cross multiplexing. At present, the world's top large data system "IBM Large Data Platform" defines four dimensions of large data, also known as "large data 4V", namely volume (mass), velocity (high-speed), produced (diverse), veracity (real).

Gives a very vivid description: "Big Data" is known as the meaning of "big", is Enough "large", the world today to create 2.3 trillion GB of data per day, each medium-sized enterprise stores at least 100,000 GB of data. How can such a large amount of data be efficiently collected and sorted out, and how will it affect our lives? American drama "Person of Acquires" (Chinese: Suspect tracking) gave us the most vivid description:

In this play, software genius Finch invented a system known as the "The Machine", which is meant to collect huge amounts of facial expressions, sounds, movements, and so on through cameras and ubiquitous listening systems, and set up an analytical model to determine the perpetrator or victim before a terrorist attack occurs. and stop it. Such applications of large data are already very common in our lives, "credit rating" is based on such logic, because the collection of data is large enough (such as the income of individuals, consumption levels, assets, etc.) banks and other financial institutions can be based on the applicant's information to determine whether the loan, Or how many credit cards should be issued, and so on.

However, due to the application of large data systems, the entire United States in the play as long as there are cameras are strictly monitored, anyone in such a system without hiding, personal privacy can not be protected; In addition, the Finch program gives the whole system artificial intelligence and even independent thinking ability, in the play also appears the Machine the lens of his owner and his team through his own "subjective judgment". This can not help but let us think about the future when large data further penetrate our lives, whether there is a day machine will be able to think of the ability to reflect, in turn control human beings?

Another feature of large data is "high speed". By 2016, the world is expected to have 18.9 billion network connections, the average person on Earth will have 2.5 access to the Internet port; Such a wide network connection leads to faster access to and analysis of data streams, and the NYSE's system captures 1TB of trading data on each trading day, More than 100 sensors are used in modern vehicles to detect fuel levels, tire pressure and so on in real time. For data analysis of the increasingly stringent requirements, but also in turn to promote the continuous development of hardware technology, in this, the United States drama "FDI" (Chinese Translation: Super Brain agents) gave a very vivid description:

The protagonist Gabriel Vaughn is a former US Delta Special Forces player, because he has a unique genetic mutation known as athens-4u7r, can not produce a rejection of computer chips, "American cyber Warfare Command" recruited him, and implanted a chip in his brain that is comparable to a supercomputer, enabling it to receive or control all the electromagnetic spectrum within an effective distance. He became the world's first human being able to use the brain's direct Internet, WiFi, telephone, and satellite data to invade any data center in the world or get key information and get any information from the world's "electronic grid" in the shortest possible time.

The play can be said to be the ultimate manifestation of the speed of data flow analysis. Gabriel has a special ability in the play "Network Rendering" (Cyber Render), he integrates huge amounts of data in his brain, fusing facts and reasoning to form a "virtual evidence wall". The chip in the brain helps him crack any suspense case in seconds and find out the truth. In real life, the application of high speed characteristics of large data is more involved in the field of investment. For example, the speed and efficiency of the "stock selection" system, which is based on the mass news data capture, or the collection and collation of various kinds of information on social networks, can not be compared with the securities analysts.

Large data forms are all-encompassing in the form of information posted on social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, videos on websites like Youtube, Youku, and data on health status detected by smart bracelet, blood pressure, and medical records. And the American drama "Touch" (Chinese: Touching the Future) gives the supernatural power to this trait of large data:

"My name is Jake, I was born 4,161 days ago, that is, October 26, 2000." I live on this earth with 7,080,360,000 people, and this is a story about some of them. Today, an average of 7.4 people said 2,250 words, issued more than 300 billion mail, 19 billion text messages, constitute a variety of patterns and proportions of the interwoven, it is spectacular, in mathematical form. These patterns are hidden in the eyes of the people, only need to understand the doorway, to solve the mystery, but only a few people can see the connection, "All of this is doomed by mathematical probability, and my duty is to track these numbers, to find each other, longing for the intersection of the two sides matchmaking." ”

Jake is the son of Martin Bohm, the hero of the show. Autistic, born 11 years never said a word, he is the so-called "36 righteous" one, is God's voters, without learning to master the "God series", which we often say "Fibonacci sequence." He uses numbers to understand galaxies, crop vegetation, marine shellfish, etc. any pattern of behavior and information in the world, through an approximate "telepathic" approach, communicates with other "righteous people", freeing people from the pain of the world (in his understanding, the imbalance of the cosmic order).

In the IBM Large data center definition, the dimension itself emphasizes the accuracy of the data and points to the harm caused by inaccurate data, for example, the US economy loses as much as $3.1 trillion a year because of poor data quality. The American show "House of Cards", which we are recommending, has a slight twist on the dimension, but it is the best portrayal of the "authenticity" of the large data itself.

The maker of the card house, Netflix, an online movie rental provider with 33 million subscribers worldwide, knows more about movies and televisions than anyone else. Research has shown that daily peak hours of web downloads are streaming from Netflix, where users generate more than 30 million behaviors per day on Netflix, such as pausing, replaying, or fast-forward, generating an action that Netflix's subscribers give 4 million ratings and 300 Million search requests, ask TV series playback time and equipment. By digging and analyzing the data, it has been known that users love David Fincher ("Social Network", "Seven Sins") and that Kevin Spacey starred in a good film, and that the British play version of the card house is very popular, The intersection of the three told Netflix worth betting on the matter, so invested 100 million of dollars to Fincher director, Spacey starring and buying the English play copyright, the first time to enter the original drama on a shot and red, in the United States and more than 40 countries become the hottest online series.

In real life, the use of large data to collect users ' interests, occupations, consumer behavior, and so on marketing promotion, has been a very common application scenario, and Netflix is the power of the large data itself evolved into a product, quickly moved hundreds of millions of users, the application of large data to achieve the ultimate.

You can see, or can not see, the big data is there, not sad not happy, you love it, hate it, big data every day around you, never abandon. Hope that through these several wonderful American dramas, the greedy people can the big data technology application as well as the future development direction has the more profound understanding, wishes everybody to be greedy for the weekend happy, the view shadow is joyful!
