#Kscope16 Blog Hop: #BigData and #AdvancedAnalytics Sessions Not to Miss
You are attending #KScope16 right?
Me too.
But there are so many sessions to choose from (mine included), which do you pick? How do you pick?
Well, I (and my fellow bloggers) are here to help you out with a Blog Hop. We are going to give you our top picks for for each track. In this post, I will give you my picks for the Big Data and Advanced Analytics track.
Big Data and Advanced Analytics Sessions
Why did I pick that this track? Really because it is a necessary adjunct to BI and Data Warehousing. In fact I find it hard to imagine that these two really won’t merge over the next few years (at my company, Snowflake, it really has already). Every company that is investing in BI/DW is also finding that they need to deal with Big Data too. And Advanced Analytics is, to me, the logical extension to BI.
So after looking at the agenda, really most of the sessions are of interest to me (sigh). But in reality I am sure I will not be able to attend them all, so here are my top 5 picks to see at KScope16:
- How to Build an Internet of Things Data Pipeline presented by Rex Eng
- Oracle Big Data Discovery: Extending into Machine Learning and Advanced Visualizations presented by Mark Rittman
- Introduction to Apache Kafka and Real-Time ETL presented by Gwen Shapira
- Getting Started with a Data Discovery Lab: You Don’t Have to Go Big to Gain Big presented by Kathryn Watson
- Getting Started with Oracle R and OBIEE presented by Kevin McGinley
- IoT – it is here already
- Machine Learning – I am pretty clueless about this one so far
- Kafka – ETL/ELT in the cloud
- Data Discovery – the next step beyond BI
- R – the language of choice for data scientists
And I actually know all of but one of the presenters, so am sure they will be very informative and lively talks.
