Big Data explosion is now a reality and not just a buzz word and it is hard to identify any area of research or practice, which is not faced with the issues Big Data are associated with, or the benefits that can be gained from it. We witness more and more different sources of data which contain valuable information that could be relevant for many different domains and businesses. By analysing this data, for example, we can run our business smarter, predict demand or sentiment about our product or service, trend in financial markets, or simple discover interesting patterns in our data we were not aware of. This talk will explain the Big Data approach and benefits it provides. It will also elaborate on several projects currently running within the Big Data Lab.
