Big Data, Stupid Decisions: The Importance Of Measuring The Right Thing

Panos Ipeirotis is an Associate Professor at the Department of Information, Operations, and Management Sciences at Leonard N. Stern School of Business of New York University. His recent research interests focus on crowdsourcing and on mining user-generated content on the Internet. He has received three “Best Paper” awards (IEEE ICDE 2005, ACM SIGMOD 2006, WWW 2011), two “Best Paper Runner Up” awards (JCDL 2002, ACM KDD 2008), and is also a recipient of a CAREER award from the National Science Foundation. He also blogs about crowdsourcing and Mechanical Turk on his blog A Computer Scientist in a Business School, an activity that seems to generate more interest and recognition than any of the above.
