Big Data in the News
“Big Data has arrived at Seton Health Care Family, fortunately accompanied by an analytics tool
that will help deal with the complexity of more than two million patient contacts a year…”
“At the World Economic Forum last month in Davos, Switzerland, Big Data was a marquee topic. A
report by the forum, “Big Data, Big Impact,” declared data a new class of economic asset, like
currency or gold.
“Increasingly, businesses are applying analytics to social media such as Facebook and Twitter, as
well as to product review websites, to try to “understand where customers are, what makes them
tick and what they want”, says Deepak Advani, who heads IBM’s predictive analytics group.”
“Data is the new oil.”
Clive Humby
“…Big data can play an immeasurable role in helping Middle East firms to compete globally”
EMC Survey Reveals Big Data Adoption Trends
The Oscar Senti-meter — a tool developed by the L.A. Times, IBM and the USC Annenberg
Innovation Lab — analyzes opinions about the Academy Awards race shared in millions of public
messages on Twitter.”

Are Organizations Really Uncovering the Information “Gold” !!!
Sometimes
people aren’t
who they
appear to be
Do you know thiscustomer?
Do you know how to market tohim?
Do you know what productbundles to offer him and when?
Can you predict hisneeds?
Can you exceed hisexpectations?
Can you adapt to his lifestyle and make him your advocate

We have been pushing the analytics rigor to address
increasingly complex questions confronting our clients
 How can we optimize the
hospital length of stay
based on patient medical
history?
 Who are more likely to be
readmitted to the
hospital?
 Who are at risk of
developing diabetes?
 What’s the optimal pricing point that
will maximize likelihood of purchase?
 What are people saying about my
products on social media?
 What are some of the early signs of
money laundry?
 What are some of the early indicators
for insurance fraud?
 Who’s more likely to cheat on their tax
returns?
 How can I score my bank
clients based on likelihood to
default on their loans?
 What’s the maximum waiting
time in my branch that clients
can tolerate?
 What are some of the early
indicators of anti-money
laundry?
Advanced Big
Data Analytics
 What industries should I prepare my
labor force for the next 5 years?
 What makes students drop out in the
2nd year of college?
 Who are more likely to be un-
employed over the next 2 years?
 What’s causing my customers to
defect to other telecom carriers?
 How can I predict shopping patterns
based on location data?
 What’s the best over-booking
strategy for my airline?

What is the DNA of a

But the biggest question we’ve been able to address is the
single most important factor in the data science journey
Is there a Risk of a
Financial Crisis?
Is There A National

How is the National

Some indicators that cognitive myopia exists
•Modelers who are consultants (Environmental attribute) with engineering/computer
science background (personal attribute) apply, validate, and deploy a wider variety of
analytical models.
•Modelers with post-graduate degrees in business/economics (personal attribute) and 7+
years of practical analytics experience (personal attribute) develop more successful
models…(perhaps specific to banking ???).
•Modelers who are employees (Environmental attribute) with more than 10 years of
experience (personal attribute) have not changed their analytical approach in the past 3
years.

BDW16 London - Amjad Zaim, Cognitro Analytics: How Deep is Your Learning

  • 1. Amjad Zaim, CEO How Deep Is Your Learning Analytics as an Engine for Business Innovation Amjad Zaim, PhD – CEO Cognitro Analytics
  • 2. Amjad Zaim, CEO How Deep Is Your Learning The Big Hype about Big Data
  • 3. Amjad Zaim, CEO How Deep Is Your Learning Big Data in the News “Big Data has arrived at Seton Health Care Family, fortunately accompanied by an analytics tool that will help deal with the complexity of more than two million patient contacts a year…” “At the World Economic Forum last month in Davos, Switzerland, Big Data was a marquee topic. A report by the forum, “Big Data, Big Impact,” declared data a new class of economic asset, like currency or gold. “Increasingly, businesses are applying analytics to social media such as Facebook and Twitter, as well as to product review websites, to try to “understand where customers are, what makes them tick and what they want”, says Deepak Advani, who heads IBM’s predictive analytics group.” “Data is the new oil.” Clive Humby “…Big data can play an immeasurable role in helping Middle East firms to compete globally” EMC Survey Reveals Big Data Adoption Trends The Oscar Senti-meter — a tool developed by the L.A. Times, IBM and the USC Annenberg Innovation Lab — analyzes opinions about the Academy Awards race shared in millions of public messages on Twitter.”
  • 4. Amjad Zaim, CEO How Deep Is Your Learning Are Organizations Really Uncovering the Information “Gold” !!! Sometimes people aren’t who they appear to be Do you know thiscustomer? Do you know how to market tohim? Do you know what productbundles to offer him and when? Can you predict hisneeds? Can you exceed hisexpectations? Can you adapt to his lifestyle and make him your advocate

  • 8. Amjad Zaim, CEO How Deep Is Your Learning We have been pushing the analytics rigor to address increasingly complex questions confronting our clients  How can we optimize the hospital length of stay based on patient medical history?  Who are more likely to be readmitted to the hospital?  Who are at risk of developing diabetes?  What’s the optimal pricing point that will maximize likelihood of purchase?  What are people saying about my products on social media?  What are some of the early signs of money laundry?  What are some of the early indicators for insurance fraud?  Who’s more likely to cheat on their tax returns?  How can I score my bank clients based on likelihood to default on their loans?  What’s the maximum waiting time in my branch that clients can tolerate?  What are some of the early indicators of anti-money laundry? Advanced Big Data Analytics  What industries should I prepare my labor force for the next 5 years?  What makes students drop out in the 2nd year of college?  Who are more likely to be un- employed over the next 2 years?  What’s causing my customers to defect to other telecom carriers?  How can I predict shopping patterns based on location data?  What’s the best over-booking strategy for my airline?
  • 9. Amjad Zaim, CEO How Deep Is Your Learning What is the DNA of a “Real” Data Scientist? But the biggest question we’ve been able to address is the single most important factor in the data science journey Is there a Risk of a Financial Crisis? Is There A National Security Threat? How is the National Healthcare System Performing? What Are the Signs of a Heathy Economy? What Are Driving Economic Indicators?
