Tag: big data
Big data refers to a collection of data sets so large and complex that that they are difficult to process using available database management tools or traditional data processing applications. WID researchers are making transformative contributions to the mathematical and theoretical underpinnings of tools for analyzing massive data sets.
Big data is an important component of WID’s Data Science Hub.
