Telk Talk: The Big Data phenomenon and its 4th V
Presenter: Vishnu S. Pendyala, Cisco
Abstract
Propelled by the infusion of “Big Data”, the Web is now humanity’s largest source of information and interaction. Economy grows as more and more people join its core echelons. People are the most important economic resources at all times. The Web probably has the most technological potential to get people into mainstream. It can serve as a conduit of services to the humanity and presents a huge opportunity to enhance our quality of life. Governments of several countries have appropriately identified the Web as a key component in enhancing their engagement with the citizens. Unfortunately, a significant percent of the information posted on the Web is not entirely true, which substantially limits its ability to serve the needs of the humanity. In this talk, we will discuss the big data phenomenon and the four V’s that characterize it, specifically focusing on the 4th V, which stands for Veracity. We will talk about the extent of the Veracity problem and ideas on how we can help make the World Wide Web more truthful. An entirely truthful Web should ideally be an important milestone to achieve in the near future. The talk will include discussion of the problem of falsity on the Web and presents possible solutions from Machine Learning and Knowledge Representation perspectives.
