DJ Patil, Leading Data Scientist turned Venture Capitalist, talks about lessons he learned from making data products. What is the truth and the hype about big data?
Very interesting talk given at Stanford in April 2013 by
DJ Patil, @dpatil, Data Scientist in Residence at Greylock partners and former
Head of Data Products, Chief Scientist, and Chief Security Officer at LinkedIn.
He looks at what are the data products and what are lessons learned.
He explains Dan Ariely quote
Big Data is like teenage sex: everyone talks about it,
nobody really knows how to do it,
everyone thinks everyone else is doing it,
so everyone claims they are doing it.
Building Data Products must be an arc of progression
What data do we start with?
The heavy lifting of cleanup and preparation IS the problem.
