How Can We Help?
The role of data in AI: Data science, Big data and Data mining
Data Science pursues the goal to gain knowledge from data. Data Science covers the entire “data value chain”: from collection and processing to modelling.
Big Data is characterized by the following five features:
- the magnitude of data to be processed is very large (volume)
- the diversity of data types and sources (variety),
- the speed at which they occur (velocity)
- the valuable data must be filtered out (value)
- the uncertainty regarding the quality of the data (veracity).
Data Mining: Use of statistical or machine learning methods to detect new relationships and patterns in a data set. The aim is, for example, to make recommendations for decisions or make predictions.
