Wanted: Maths whizzes with an eye for the big picture to join the data revolution

In the past few years we’ve produced more data than in the whole of human history. The volume and dynamic nature of the data is changing not only how we live our lives, but how we do our jobs. Why does this data explosion matter to you? Data can reveal patterns and regularities that allow us to predict anything from what people want to buy, to what creates customer loyalty, where crimes are most likely to occur, to your possible future healthcare needs. All industries can benefit from the potential insights big data can reveal.

大數據與你的大腦

數碼時代資訊縱橫交錯,每分每秒都有超大量數據轉來轉去,懂得利用各種數據,可以清楚瞭解市場反應,從而改變策略,針對實際需要爭取最大利益。搞影視注重數據的變化,除了有利於最終作品成績外,更加是說服投資者的強而有力武器。譬如數據告訴我們,中國電影市場跟全球大同小異,買票進場的主要族群是17至25左右的年青人,情侶佔了多數,你拍的片若失去這些新一代支持,請問不是找死又是甚麼?但偏偏市場上有馮小剛的《1942》,有死得一塌糊塗張柏芝的《楊門女將之軍令如山》,之後再有鄭伊健賠死的《忠烈楊家將》。所以數據是死的,人腦才是活的,你的腦筋不成,胡亂分析,總結不出關鍵重點,倒不如別看大堆數據好了。 近來有兩份數據讓電影圈的人都特別注意,第一是明年被稱為史上最誇張的好萊塢大片年,接近40部超級大電影陸續推出,恐怕中國票房給淹沒了。其次是跟據統計,好萊塢的進口片所佔票房近年不斷高昇,還好國產片以量取勝,仍然能壓倒西風。

忘掉大數據

我們正處在歷史的轉折點上,數據技術在快速變革。大數據 (Big Data) 成了人們競相爭議的熱詞,但鮮有人提及這巨大變革中需要具備的能力。無數的企業及個人望“數”興嘆:“大數據與我何干?”未來是大數據的時代,未來的競爭就是數據的競爭。 也許,我們早該忘掉那些華而不實的喧囂,讓大數據真正從“看” 到“用”,真正“活”起來。 大數據的力量來自觸類旁通的關聯,我們以前總是用數據來證明或企圖說服工作上的盲點。而如今的數據不再成為一加一的依據,而是具備了預測和開創新機的能力。 用數據找機會
