Wrap Up
One of my favorite sections was developed by Professor Bela Stantic and the Big Data and Intelligent Analytics Lab at Griffith University, where I will learn how to evaluate data from different sources, and how big data can be used in different industries to solve problems and shape our future. It's a great class.
Big data analysis helps us understand the vast amount of information that the world is producing today. We can use analysis to discover hidden patterns, predict trends, evaluate customer opinions, and so on. As a data startup, this course gives me more hope for what lies ahead.
Everyone knows big data, but no one knows how big data will be used in various industries. Big data is so powerful. After taking this course, I was so impressed by the development of times.
In the information age, big data analysis drives economic development. But what is big data? Where does big data come from? We don't understand any of this. This course is good. It's worth learning.
