• What if your data volume gets so large and varied you don't know how to deal with it?

• Do you store all your data?• Do you analyze it all?• What is coverage, skew, quality?

How can you find out which data points are really important?

• How can you use it to your best advantage?

Questions typically asked on Big Data

Variety of Data Analytics Enablers

11

• Prediction of the spread of flu in real time during H1N1 2009– Google tested a mammoth of 450 million different mathematical

models to test the search terms that provided 45 important parameters

– Model was tested when H1N1 crisis struck in 2009 and gave more meaningful and valuable real time information than any public health official system [Big Data, Viktor Mayer-Schonberger and Kenneth Cukier, 2013]

• FareCast: predict the direction of air fares over different routes [Big Data, Viktor Mayer-Schonberger and Kenneth Cukier, 2013]

• NY city manholes problem [ICML Discussion, 2012]

Illustrative Big Data Applications

12

Current focus mainly to serve business intelligence and targeted analytics needs, not to serve complex individual and collective human needs (e.g., empower human in health, fitness and well-being; better disaster coordination, personalized smart energy)

What is missing?

13

highly personalized/individualized/contextualized Incorporate real-world complexity:

- multi-modal and multi-sensory nature of physical-world and human perception

Can More Data beat better algorithms? Can Big Data replace human judgment?

Many opportunities, many challenges, lessons to apply

16

What is needed? Taking inspiration from cognitive models

• Bottom up and top down cognitive processes: – Bottom up: find patterns, mine (ML, …)– Top down: Infusion of models and background

knowledge (data + knowledge + reasoning)

17

• Ambient processing as much as possible while enabling natural human involvement to guide the system

What is needed?

Smart Refrigerator: Low on Apples

Adapting the Plan: shopping for apples

Smart Data (2013 retake)

Smart data makes sense out of Big data

It provides value from harnessing the challenges posed by volume, velocity, variety and veracity of big data, in-

turn providing actionable information and improve decision

making.

Smart data is focused on the actionable value achieved by human

involvement in data creation, processing and consumption phases

A Historical Perspective on Collecting Health Observations

Diseases treated onlyby external observations

First peek beyond justexternal observations

Information overload!

Doctors relied only on external observations

Stethoscope was the first instrument to go beyond just external

observations

Though the stethoscope has survived, it is only one among many observations

in modern medicine

52

Data Overload Spanning Physical-Cyber-Social Modalities

Increasingly, real-world events are: (a)Continuous: Observations are fine grained over time

(b)Multimodal, multisensory: Observations span PCS modalities

54

what can we do to avoid asthma episode?

Real-time health signals from personal level (e.g., Wheezometer, NO in breath, accelerometer, microphone), public health (e.g., CDC, Hospital EMR), and population level (e.g., pollen level, CO2) arriving continuously in fine grained samples potentially with missing information and uneven sampling frequencies.

How do we implement machine perception efficiently on aresource-constrained device?

Use of OWL reasoner is resource intensive (especially on resource-constrained devices), in terms of both memory and time

• Runs out of resources with prior knowledge >> 15 nodes• Asymptotic complexity: O(n3)

93

intelligence at the edge

Approach 1: Send all sensor observations to the cloud for processing

Approach 2: downscale semantic processing so that each device is capable of machine perception

Henson et al. 'An Efficient Bit Vector Approach to Semantics-based Machine Perception in Resource-Constrained Devices, ISWC 2012.

94

Efficient execution of machine perception

Use bit vector encodings and their operations to encode prior knowledge and execute semantic reasoning

• Problem size increased from 10’s to 1000’s of nodes• Time reduced from minutes to milliseconds• Complexity growth reduced from polynomial to
