SUMMARY:Data Challenges in Astronomy: NASA's Kepler Mission and the Sear
 ch for Extrasolar Earths
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Jon Jenkins (NASA). The Kepler spacecraft launc
 hed on March 7, 2009, initiating NASA's first search for Earth-size plan
 ets orbiting Sun-like stars, with stunning results after being on the jo
 b for just over two years. Designing and building the Kepler science pip
 eline software that processes and analyzes the resulting data to make th
 e discoveries presented a daunting set of challenges.

 pts, and discomfort with probabilistic reasoning. This talk will provide
  a number of case studies and offer practical tips for achieving organiz
 ational buy-in.

DESCRIPTION:Presented by Jeremy Howard (Kaggle). 'Crowdsourcing big data
 ' might sound like a randomly generated selection of buzz words, but it 
 turns out to represent a powerful leap forward in the accuracy of predic
 tive analytics. This session will explore the reasons why this is the ca
 se, using case studies from the fields of astronomy, sports ratings syst
 ems and tourism forecasting.

SUMMARY:Bringing the Rest of the World Into Your Data Warehouse
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Philip Kromer (Infochimps). You’ve collected a 
 ton of data and your team is busily crunching numbers and coming to conc
 lusions... but are they the right ones? You can only know with the right
  context and you can’t get context working in a silo. We invite you to b
 ring the rest of the world into your data warehouse. Don’t worry, it’ll 
 add more value than it takes and instead of working on the data, you can
  work on your vision.

SUMMARY:Big Data and Big Analytics:  SciDB is not Hadoop
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Paul Brown (Paradigm4 Inc.). The science and co
 mmercial worlds share requirements for a high performance informatics pl
 atform to support collection, curation, collaboration, exploration, and 
 analysis of massive datasets. SciDB is an open source analytical databas
 e that provides better analytical performance than relational databases 
 as well as supports key features such as provenance and versioning.

SUMMARY:Navigating the Data Pipeline
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Tim Moreton (Acunu). At the heart of every syst
 em that harnesses big data is a pipeline that comprises collecting large
  volumes of raw data, extract value from it through analytics or data tr
 ansformations, then delivering that condensed set of results back out --
  potentially to millions of users. This talk examines the challenges of 
 building manageable, robust pipelines.

SUMMARY:Journey or Destination: Using Models to Explore Big Data
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Ben Gimpert (Altos Research). All big data mode
 ls are wrong but some are useful, as George Box might have said. Models 
 are not the end result of a big data architecture, but exploratory tools
  in their own right. They are most useful when data scientists try to un
 derstand the business, and when our users learn a bit about data. How ca
 n the actual process of modeling improve a big data system, and teach th
 e organization?

SUMMARY:Chart Wars: The Political Power of Data Visualization
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Alex Lundry (TargetPoint Consulting). Political
 ly charged data visualization emerged over the last election cycle as a 
 provocative and powerful means of persuasive communication.  We’ve seen 
 organizational charts used as protest signs and the White House regularl

 p, this presentation will show you how to be a smart consumer of data vi
 sualizations and infographics.
