May Webinar: Big Data: Who Uses It? Who Provides It? And What Risks Does It Create?
Businesses have the technology to capture billions of data items on a real-time basis – Big Data – but what are they actually doing with all this information? One application is the analysis of text in newspapers like The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal to gauge sentiment on the current state of the economy, so-called “nowcasting.” How well do applications like these really work? Are there other potential applications that might raise privacy and ethical issues? Larry Zicklin (BBA, ‘57) discusses these questions with Roger Freeman (shown), Co-Head, Data Science Team at Neuberger Berman, and Associate Professor Sebastiano Manzan of the Bert W. Wasserman Department of Economics and Finance. With an introduction by Dean Fenwick Huss and a Q&A with Associate Dean Gwen Webb.
