Business Decision Making by Big Data Analytics

Information is the key component towards success when it comes to controlling the decision-makers performance with the quality of a decision. In the modern era, an absolute amount of data is available to organizations for analysis usage. Data is the most important component of the business in the 21st century and a significant number of devices are already equipped with the internet. Based on this the solutions should be studied in order to control and capture the knowledge value pair out of the datasets. Following this, the decision-makers should have access to insightful and valuable data based on the dynamic high volume & velocity using big data analytics. Our research focuses on how to integrate big data analytics into the decision-making process. The B-DAD (big data analytics and decision) framework was created to map the big data tools, its architecture, and analytics for the several decision-making steps by the adoption of methodology based on design science. The ideal goal and offerings of the framework are adopting big data analytics in order to intensify & aid decision making for the organization using an integration of big data analytics into the corresponding decision-making process. Thus, the experiment was carried out in the retail domain to test the framework. As an end result, the results showcased the value-added if big data analytics is integrated with corresponding decision-making activity

Multimedia big data computing for in-depth event analysis

While the most part of ”big data” systems target text-based analytics, multimedia data, which makes up about 2/3 of internet traffic, provide unprecedented opportunities for understanding and responding to real world situations and challenges. Multimedia Big Data Computing is the new topic that focus on all aspects of distributed computing systems that enable massive scale image and video analytics. During the course of this paper we describe BPEM (Big Picture Event Monitor), a Multimedia Big Data Computing framework that operates over streams of digital photos generated by online communities, and enables monitoring the relationship between real world events and social media user reaction in real-time. As a case example, the paper examines publicly available social media data that relate to the Mobile World Congress 2014 that has been harvested and analyzed using the described system.Peer ReviewedPostprint (author's final draft

A kernel-based framework for medical big-data analytics

The recent trend towards standardization of Electronic Health Records (EHRs) represents a significant opportunity and challenge for medical big-data analytics. The challenge typically arises from the nature of the data which may be heterogeneous, sparse, very high-dimensional, incomplete and inaccurate. Of these, standard pattern recognition methods can typically address issues of high-dimensionality, sparsity and inaccuracy. The remaining issues of incompleteness and heterogeneity however are problematic; data can be as diverse as handwritten notes, blood-pressure readings and MR scans, and typically very little of this data will be co-present for each patient at any given time interval. We therefore advocate a kernel-based framework as being most appropriate for handling these issues, using the neutral point substitution method to accommodate missing inter-modal data. For pre-processing of image-based MR data we advocate a Deep Learning solution for contextual areal segmentation, with edit-distance based kernel measurement then used to characterize relevant morphology
