I can also talk about the Internet of Things,
which is just lots of connected devices and
lots of different sources of information communicating with one another.
So these are just some of the areas in which we're seeing lots and
lots of new data sources, but of course that's not exhaustive.
We can also talk about things like medical records.
Again, no longer do you go into your doctor's office and
just have them write notes by hand that gets put in some file.
Often, they're taking electronic health records and
these are now communicating across systems and we have lots and
lots of electronic health records that, it's just a source of data
to be parsed and understood and used to innovate in medicine.
So lots of new datasets, which is exciting.
We can learn a lot about how people operate about our bodies, about how people
purchase and make friends and how they go about their day to day activities but of
course we need to have methods that scale to analyze these types of data sets and
also to the unique structure of data that's presented in these data sets, and
the noisy structure, and the list of challenges is really extensive.
