Lin, the Professor at Pennsylvania State University and a distinguished professor at the School of Management to explore the mysteries of ghost data.
The devil is hidden in the details. Big data is not a panacea, but in today's world, it’s vital to manage the figures and use it. At the beginning of the lecture, Professor Lin showed a picture with seemingly unrelated objects. From these objects, he tried to find out the relevance and logic, which shocked the audience. A story was hidden behind the data.
Professor Lin talked about ancient poems of Ouyang Xiu of Song Dynasty and the dating message hidden in the text. He also played a few movies and dissolve the mystery neglected by many people. It’s important to see what others can’t see and go through a steep learning curve. His talk was humorous and informational and the audience enjoyed the lecture a lot. One of the big data series lectures ended successfully. EMBA of NTNU will invite more professionals to talk about big data.
