Comment on Big Data vs Intelligent Data (and what Startups can do with it)parent

Comments

Agreed. Intelligent Data seems like a very messy term. In Big Data we use many different processes to figure out what the "intelligent" relationships are, or what variables really express strong relationships. This is one of the biggest challenges in Big Data. A quote from Alex Pentland:

"the data scientists themselves don't have much of intuition either…and that is a problem. I saw an estimate recently that said 70 to 80 percent of the results that are found in the machine learning literature, which is a key Big Data scientific field, are probably wrong because the researchers didn't understand that they were overfitting the data."
