National Bestseller
“No other book offers such an accessible and balanced tour of the many benefits and downsides of our continuing infatuation with data.”—Wall Street Journal
“What I’m certain about is that Big Data will be the defining text in the discussion for some time to come.”—Forbes.com It seems like “big data” is in the news every day, with new examples of how powerful algorithms are teasing out the hidden connections between seemingly unrelated things. Whether it is used by the NSA to fight terrorism or by online retailers to predict customers’ buying patterns, big data is a revolution occurring around us, in the process of forever changing economics, science, culture, and the very way we think. But it also poses new threats, from the end of privacy as we know it to the prospect of being penalized for things we haven’t even done yet, based on big data’s ability to predict our future behavior.
Big Data is the first big book about this earthshaking subject, with two leading experts explaining what big data is, how it will change our lives, and what we can do to protect ourselves from its hazards.
今天看完了舍恩伯格的《大数据时代》。如果抛开对译者的推崇,我会说,这本定价半百的介绍互联网前沿趋势的书籍其含金量并不怎么高,里面的有些例子在我看来也不能完全归于大数据领域。 舍恩伯格提到的三个趋势中的前两个我倒是非常赞同: 1.样本渐趋于总体; 2.精确让位于模...
评分两年前,还是社会学专业的我最喜欢翘的课叫做”社会统计学”,与其听着传统死板的抽样调查与回归分析,我更喜欢和一个做数据挖掘的数学系同学四处溜达。“数据挖掘(Data mining)是什么?”她跟我举了一个最简单的例子:“沃尔玛通过对超市里人们购买行为的大量数据分析,发现...
评分什么是大数据 先说一个故事,同任何职业运动一样,每个领域的职业联赛联盟都有“豪门”,就像以前的皇马巴萨之余足球一样 ,美国职业棒球大联盟不仅有豪门,还有很多个寒门,且豪门和寒门之间的薪资差异越来越大,即所谓“不公平的 竞争”,导致的后果是优秀的棒球手频繁被豪...
评分这本书基本上涵盖了大数据各方面:大数据的特点->带来的商业模式变化->管理上的问题。但是老外写书有个特点就是有点啰嗦(从好的方面看就是比较通俗,案例较多)。大数据之所以可能成为一个“时代”,在很大程度上是因为这是一个可以由社会各界广泛参与,八面出击,处处结果的社会...
评分在路上•晃晃悠悠 电子科技大学教授,互联网科学中心主任 周 涛 接下翻译这本《大数据时代》的任务时,我的目标是做到110% 的好。因为作者维克托•迈尔–舍恩伯格毕竟不像我们每天在一线与数据厮杀搏斗,其爱其恨都更深刻。特别地,我们可以为中文的读者补充很多中...
对未来的方向有点启发
评分听着挺有意思的,我们得接受两点:correlation not causation, & messiness,那么就能更好地接受大数据时代带来的各种便利和risk了。当然,数据背后还是人,乔布斯和福特都不是靠数据来赢得人心的,需要有远见卓识的人。
评分1. 大数据时代,相关性取代因果律 2. 稀缺资源从big data mindset -> big data technique -> data itself. 3. 各行业use case大集合 4. 风险和缺陷。信息量大,文笔优美,五星推荐
评分A very good overview about the philosophy, history and future of the big data industry. More best practices are suggested to make the book more informed.
评分以为是一部著书立说的作品,结果只够用来看些案例当谈资= =
