Walking in a data-wonderland: Big Data meets virtual reality Mike Wheatley | August 12thREAD MOREOne of the biggest challenges with Big Data is that the human mind is just too feeble to comprehend such vast amounts of information. Our brains just become overwhelmed when you’re talking petabytes upon petabytes of data, but EU researchers think they’ve hit upon a way […]
A new technology developed by researchers funded by the European Union could revolutionise the way we process data – Big Data.With a whopping €6.5m of EU funding invested in this innovative initiative, the CEEDs project is comprised of 16 partners in nine countries (Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands and the UK).According to a European Commission press […]
Is the answer to our feeble human minds needing to grapple with increasing quantities of big data to stand in a purpose built room immersed in complex data visualisations while wearing an array of sensors that track our physiological reactions? A group of European Commission-backed scientists believe so.They’re attempting to quantify — and, they claim, enhance — cognition by building a sensor-based data visualisation system that dynamically changes the complexity level […]

In fact, technical analysis is probably the most common form of securities selection because anyone can do it without much training. Predicting that prices will rise because they have been rising is an easy decision. Avoiding securities that have trended down is […]
By: Wim GrommenThe Dutch version of this article “beursindexen zijn fata morgana’s” is published on several sites in the Netherlands and Belgium. Have you ever wondered what information a stock market index actually gives? An index point is not a fixed unit in time and does not have any historical significance.Two measurements during a marathonImagine the following two measurements:- In […]
….Although the Big Data Initiative only includes scientific agencies, it turns out that the humanities have been involved for just as long. In 2009, when Data.Gov was being launched, the first Digging into Data Challenge was held. Sponsored by the NEH and comparable organizations in the UK and Canada, the eight winning Digging into Data teams used high-performance computing stacks […]
