Study Notes
Understanding Big Data
- Big Data refers to datasets that surpass the capabilities of traditional data processing applications in size or complexity.
- Common benchmarks for size include petabytes (1024 Terabytes) and exabytes (1024 petabytes).
- Approximately 2.5 quintillion bytes of data are generated daily.
Big Data Analytics
- Involves extracting trends, patterns, and correlations from large volumes of raw data to derive meaningful insights.
- Requires specific techniques, tools, and architectural frameworks to manage and analyze large datasets.
Three V’s of Big Data
- Volume: Represents vast amounts of data, often in the range of terabytes and petabytes stored by large organizations.
- Velocity: Data is produced rapidly, with examples including real-time gaming, sensor logs, and high-frequency trading, evolving from batch processing to real-time analysis.
- Variety: Data encompasses various formats beyond traditional numbers and strings, including videos, audio, geospatial data, images, and unstructured text from social media.
Types of Digital Data
- Structured Data: Organized in a fixed format (e.g., rows and columns); relationships exist between entities, typically stored in databases.
- Semi-structured Data: Lacks a rigid structure but contains some organizational properties; uses tags for organization (e.g., XML, HTML).
- Unstructured Data: Constitutes 80-90% of organizational data; does not conform to any data model and includes materials like memos, emails, videos, and images.
Dealing with Unstructured Data
- Techniques include:
- Association Rule Mining: Finding relationships between variables in large datasets.
- Regression Analysis: Modeling the relationship between dependent and independent variables.
- Collaborative Filtering: A method to predict user preferences by collecting preferences from multiple users.
- Text Analytics: Analyzing textual data to derive insights.
- Natural Language Processing (NLP): Enabling computers to understand and process human language.
- Manual Tagging with Metadata: Adding descriptive data to unstructured information for better organization and retrieval.
- UIMA (Unstructured Information Management Architecture): A framework for analyzing unstructured information.
Conclusion
- The evergreen nature of Big Data demands continual adaptation in handling techniques to navigate the complexities associated with large, diverse, and rapidly generated datasets.
