The Puzzle Metaphor

Imagine an ever-growing pile of puzzle pieces of varying sizes, shapes, colors

What it represents is unknown – there is no picture on hand

Is it one puzzle, 15 puzzles, or 1,500 different puzzles?

Some pieces are duplicates, missing, incomplete or have errors

Some pieces may even be professionally fabricated lies

Until you take the pieces to the table, it is nearly impossible to assess the scene

PUZZLING EXPERIMENT #3ADULTS AT SIBOS 2011

Page 30: Big Data. New Physics. - Marist College

SIBOS Conference 2011

100 executives, 10 teams 10 puzzles, 10 small tables Duplicate and missing pieces

Lessons:1. They learned federated

search bites.2. I watched as an early bias

misdirected their attention … but then over time new observations corrected this bias.

How Context Accumulates

With each new observation one asserts: 1) Un-associated; 2) near neighbors; or 3) connected

Must favor the false negative

New observations sometimes reverse earlier assertions

Some observations produce novel discovery

The emerging picture helps focus collection interests

As the working space expands, computational effort increases

Then given sufficient observations there comes a tipping point whereby decision certainty increases while compute effort decreases!

Big Data [in context]. New Physics.

More data: better the predictions– Lower false positives– Lower false negatives

More data: bad data good– Suddenly glad your data is not perfect

More data: less compute

Pile of ______ Information In Context38

Page 39: Big Data. New Physics. - Marist College

One Essential Form of Context: “Entity Resolution”

Is it 5 people each with 1 account or is it 1 person with 5 accounts?

Is it 20 cases of SARS in 20 cities or one case reported 20 times?

If one cannot count, one cannot estimate vector or velocity (direction, speed).

Without vector and velocity prediction is nearly impossible.

Space-Time-Travel

Cell phones are generating a staggering amount of geo-locational data – 600B transactions per day being created in the US alone

This data is being “de-identified” and shared with third parties – in volume and in real-time

Your movement quickly reveals where you spend your time

Re-identification (figuring out who is who) is somewhat trivial

And, oh so powerful predictions …

Hi Jeff & the gang,

I have great news! On Tuesday I happened to observe a close encounter you guys predicted - one 1 km and the other one 2 km in diameter!

To my knowledge this is the first case ever of direct observation of a close encounter in the small main belt asteroids. The closest point of encounter unfortunately happened during bright daylight in Hawaii, so I missed it …

Cheers!Eva -

Why Selective Curiosity MattersPatent US8620927

There are many domains where even 99% accuracy is not good enough e.g.,– Healthcare– Financial Services– National Security– Autonomous Vehicles

In the coming era of Internet of Things, robots, and cognitive computing “decision certainty” is going to make or break these advances.

Selective Curiosity will make this possible …

SELECTIVE CURIOSITY IN ACTIONA TRUE STORY

One Day …

A lady we will call “Jane Doe” friends me on Facebook. Not sure I know her, I check her About page and see she works for the US Government. But that’s it.

This peeks my curiosity.

Who is this and where does she work?

Next …

I notice we have a friend in common named “Stu Shea.”

I sat on Stu Shea’s Board of Directors at the United States Geospatial Intelligence Foundation (USGIF). He knows interesting people.

I find myself all that much more curious: Who is “Jane Doe?”

So …

I Google [“Jane Doe” and “Stu Shea”].

Ah Ha! She works for the National Geospatial Agency (NGA).

FYI: Job title, email address and more are easily found with one more search!
