Hello! All the talks from the "Here be Dragons" event at the MIT Media Lab last month are now online! You can watch all of them, including mine, at this link. I discuss how big data can answer big questions and how these models can apply to problems facing the ocean, touching on trends observed from my doctoral research, NASA's Frontier Development Lab and CERN's openLab. | Video^ Speaking in the "Deep Data" session at "Here be Dragons", MIT Media Lab. |
"If you don't come in with a predefined problem, then there is this unfortunate phenomenon where engineers just make up problems to solve. I hate seeing this, especially in the ocean space, where there are so many genuine, pressing problems to solve." | "I've shared some success stories of how big data has been used to solve big problems. These models are ready for us to use, we just need to know what our big question is." |
