Xie: Big Data concept confusing future or will be involved in melee

October 24 News, Today, "China TMT International Chamber of Commerce monthly Hero Meeting" held in Beijing. Xie, a well-known it commentator and former Yahoo China general manager, said at the meeting that there are many misconceptions about the big data, and that this year even the next two or three years, big data will be embroiled in a melee.

Xie that the industry's concept of big data now has three main views: one thinks big data is the past, because large data has been in the fields of physics, biology, medicine and so on for several decades; the second is done, because some companies have claimed The ability to provide a complete large data solution from hardware to software to methods; The third is in the process, because there are many Internet companies are increasing investment in data , storage, integration, mining and other efforts. Xie the definition of large data as the direction of endeavor as a concept of future discussion.

Xie says there are several misconceptions about the understanding of big data. First, only in terms of quantity, it is impossible to tell the difference between ordinary and large data by seeing the growth of the data. Large data is never equal to large data. Most of the existing equipment and technical methods can be processed by large data, not large data. Data mining, fine operation, precision advertising, personalized service, and promotion are not major parts of the future business model of large data services. Secondly, it is not important to simply encourage the discussion of large data to be divorced from the background of industrial development and social progress. It's hard to prove that he has the value of investing when it comes to the issue of big data as a technical question.

Xie said that the implementation of data standardization, openness and commonality, the key lies in how to break the personal privacy, business interests, industry monopoly restrictions, to achieve low-cost data, high efficiency, large-scale aggregation and integration, and the Chinese telecom, China Unicom this level of companies must play a significant role to have the opportunity.

Xie finally said 2013 was the year of the big Data age. 2015 years or so big data will have great innovation, 2020 before and after the big success of the company listed.

Following is the famous it commentator, former Yahoo China general manager Xie speech record:

Thanks to all of you, I have written about 10 articles on big data from about half a year or so, and it's just my hobby, about the Internet, about the development of big data. I did not expect this response is much higher than the past experience, the beginning of 2005 I pushed the concept of Web2.0, and then a big fat, and then messed up. Then I got involved in the debate about what was new media and finally I offended a lot of traditional media friends. It should be said that the concept of large data began to come out, but from my recent paragraph is often a variety of agencies, various departments, enterprises called to attend the meeting, to attend lectures, the most important confusion is that we are interested in large data. A mouth, the opposite, completely not a point of interest, completely not at a point. So I would like to stand in the history of Internet development, and investment point of view to introduce you I want to understand really large data, or half-truths, or large data links, or false large data.

In the beginning of the internet in China, 1999 to 2010 I call it the Internet debate, 1999 to participate in brokerage and investment finance, at that time, someone can count out China 80 is the Internet concept stocks, very frightening, the results are self-evident. From 2003 to 2005, when the Internet really saw real money, we all survived by the leniency of telecoms companies. But at that time the concept of ISP, a mixed bag, the final mix of this business, but also a conceptual confusion. 2007 to 2009 is WEB2.0, the final dust settles, China unexpectedly no one like Facebook company can stand out. I did early in the school, now Flow row 12th, in fact, there are also about the true and false new media, true and false E-commerce, last year, this year, now the aftershocks are not flat, about tens of thousands of group buy 2 billion or 3 billion, now a feather, so I think this year, including the following two or three years big data will be involved in a melee

Because we are from investors, entrepreneurs, operators or media, we like to see macro, Micro, local, this is a good thing, afraid of you stones, all the way to touch the more miserable. The "Time" used to discuss big data is different.

When large data is considered to be the past, large numbers have been in the fields of physics, biology and medicine for decades. This concept itself listens to poised, big data, adjective, not strict definition, like to say the past when most of the academic people, intellectuals, academia, they have a pure discussion data how to do?

The other is that when large data is complete, "we can provide a complete large data solution from hardware to software to approach", he said casually, I was ready, you provide the money is. I'm not saying this is the wrong way. Or I discuss the issue is this discussion, I never put the innovation and technical barriers as a prerequisite to the front, I assume that the technical conditions are available, we recall several times the Internet innovation, technical conditions are there. So many internet companies only you have good ideas, they will be able to keep up.

There is another kind of thinking that is in progress. "We are investing more in data, storage, integration, mining and so on," said the internet company, or telecoms company, which he meant was in the bag. These are the Internet companies, but these three kinds of I personally do not agree with, I use the future era, large data is not only the future of the network industry, but also the entire social and economic development of the future, now should start to discuss, study, try this direction of the problem.

I will take it as the unknown, as the direction of effort, as the future to discuss. I do not dare to say that I am right the other three are wrong, but the relationship between each other, I personally think that the past is at least the completion of the affirmation is wrong. Our TMT Chamber of Commerce will not be interested in archaeology, not in research history, but in the future.
