Collecting Uncertain Data the Reactive Way
A SkillsCast for this session is not available.
Before you can even get started building large-scale data analytic systems, you need to start with one crucial element: data. Collecting data, especially collecting lots of data, is harder than it seems. Data ingested with the wrong data model can be worse than no data at all, and a data collection system that is too slow can bring an entire platform grinding to a halt. Don't panic! Scalable, non-destructive data collection is possible. This talk will focus on strategies for data collection based on real world experience building large scale machine learning systems. It will introduce ideas from the emerging paradigm of reactive machine learning that are based on older ideas about immutable facts and pervasive, intrinsic uncertainty.
