DESCRIPTION:Big Data is everywhere\, no matter what you do – from humani
 ties to natural sciences\, from social sciences to engineering to medicine
 . Yet\, data on its own\, no matter how “Big”\, is of little use. Dist
 illing Big Data into actionable\, useful information requires a range of t
 ools from mathematics\, statistics and computer science\, which might appe
 ar intimidating when approached for the first time.\n\nIn an afternoon of 
 talks\, we will introduce the key concepts and ideas which underlie modern
  analysis of large and complex data sets\, in a maths-free manner.\n\nTo s
 tart the Big Data conversation\, we need a shared vocabulary!\n\nDraft pro
