The Role

of

Humans in

Big Data

I <3 big data.

And much of my career

is devoted to data.

Humans

beat

data.

So where are all the people?

Big data is

empty of

humans.

Humans

have use.

That’s where Lola Chen comes

in.

“Any alert person can

ride the streets of Chicago

and see the pattern

of pothole problems.

The ride might take

4 hours or so.

The making notes might

take 1 hour.”
