Big Data: IEEE Computational Intelligence Society's Perspective on Big Data
Xin Yao, President of the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society, gives a presentation on IEEE Computational Intelligence Society's perspective on Big Data at the Big Data Initiative Workshop. Big data is much more than just data bits and bytes on one side and processing on the other. IEEE, through its Cloud Computing Initiative and multiple Societies have already been taking the lead on the technical aspects of big data. To provide increased value, IEEE will provide a framework for collaboration throughout IEEE.
