BigData, AllData, Old Data:

Predictive Analytics in a Changing Data Landscape

Outline
• Big Data all around us
• Some of the issues in BigData
• Introduction to Data Mining and Predictive Analytics Over BigData
• Case studies
• Summary and conclusions

What Matters in the Age of Analytics?
1.Being Able to exploit all the data that is available
• not just what you’ve got available
• what you can acquire and use to enhance your actions
2. Proliferating analytics throughout the organization
• make every part of your business smarter
• Actions and not just insights
3. Driving significant business value
• embedding analytics into every area of your business can significantly drive top line revenues and/or bottom line cost efficiencies

Why Big Data?
A new term, with associated “Data Scientist” positions:
• Big Data: is a mix of structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data:
– Typically breaks barriers for traditional RDB storage
– Typically breaks limits of indexing by “rows”
– Typically requires intensive pre-processing before each query to extract “some structure” – usually using Map-Reduce type operations
• Above leads to “messy” situations with no standard recipes or architecture: hence the need for “data scientists”
– conduct “Data Expeditions”
– Discovery and learning on the spot

The 4-V’s of “Big Data”
• Big Data is Characterized by the 3-V’s:
– Volume: larger than “normal” – challenging to load/process
• Expensive to do ETL
• Expensive to figure out how to index and retrieve
• Multiple dimensions that are “key”
– Velocity: Rate of arrival poses real-time constraints on what are typically “batch ETL” operations
• If you fall behind catching up is extremely expensive (replicate very expensive systems)
• Must keep up with rate and service queries on-the-fly
– Variety: Mix of data types and varying degrees of structure
• Non-standard schema
• Lots of BLOB’s and CLOB’s
• DB queries don’t know what to do with semi-structured and unstructured data.

“Classic” Data: e.g. Yahoo! User DNA

How Data Explodes: really big

The Distinction between “Classic Data” and “Big Data” is fast disappearing
• Most real data sets nowadays come with a serious mix of semi-structured and unstructured components:
– Images
– Video
– Text descriptions and news, blogs, etc…
– User and customer commentary
– Reactions on social media: e.g. Twitter is a mix of data anyway
• Using standard transforms, entity extraction, and new generation tools to transform unstructured raw data into semi-structured analyzable data

Text Data: The Big Driver
• We speak of “big data” and the “Variety” in 3-V’s
• Reality: biggest driver of growth of Big Data has been text data
– Most work on analysis of “images” and “video” data has really been reduced to analysis of surrounding text
Nowhere more so than on the internet
• Map-Reduce popularized by Google to address the problem of processing large amounts of text data:
– Many operations with each being a simple operation but done at large scale
– Indexing a full copy of the web
– Frequent re-indexing

Big Data Applications and Uses

Reality Check

So what do technology people worry about these days?

To Hadoop or not to Hadoop?

when to use techniquesrequiring Map-Reduce and grid computing?
• Typically organizations try to use Map-Reduce for everything to do with Big Data
– This is actually very inefficient and often irrational
– Certain operations require specialized storage
• Updating segment memberships over large numbers of users
• Defining new segments on user or usage data

Drivers of Hadoop in Large Enterprises

Cost of Storage
• Fastest growing demand is more storage
• Data in Data Warehouses have traditionally required expensive storage technology:
$100K per terabyte per year – cost of Teradata storage
$2.5K per terabyte – much lower per year – cost of Hadoop on commodity storage

Hadoop Use Cases by Data Type

Analysis & Programming Software

Reality: If Storage is Biggest Driver of Hadoop Adoption; What is the next biggest?

ETL
• Replaces expensive licenses

• Much higher performance with lower infrastructure costs (processors, memory)

• Flexibility in changing schema and representation

• Flexibility on taking on unstructured and semi-structured data

• Plus suite of really cool tools…

Turning the three Vs of Big Data into Value
Understand context and content
• What are appropriate actions?
• Is it Ok to associate my brand with this content?
• Is content sad?, happy?, serious?, informative?
Understand community sentiment
• What is the emotion?
• Is it negative or positive?
• What is the health of my brand online?
Understand customer intent?
• What is each individual trying to achieve?
• Can we predict what to do next?
• Critical in cross-sell, personalization, monetization, advertising, etc…

Many Business Uses of Predictive Analytics

Understanding Context

Reality Check

So who is the company we think is best at handling BigData?

The Display Ads Challenge Today

 

NetSeer: Intent for Display

Currently Processing 4 Billion Impressions per Day

Problem: Hard to Understand User Intent

Yahoo! – One of Largest Destinations on the Web

80% of the U.S. Internet population uses Yahoo!
– Over 600 million users per month globally!
Global network of content, commerce, media, search and access products
100+ properties including mail, TV, news, shopping, finance, autos, travel, games, movies, health, etc.
25+ terabytes of data collected each day
• Representing 1000’s of cataloged consumer behaviors

Data is used to develop content, consumer, category and campaign insights for our key content partners and large advertisers

More people visited Yahoo! in the past month than:
• Use coupons
• Vote
• Recycle
• Exercise regularly
• Have children living at home
• Wear sunscreen regularly

Yahoo! Big Data – A league of its own… 

Behavioral Targeting (BT)

Yahoo! User DNA

How it works | Network + Interests + Modelling

Recency Matters, So Does Intensity

Differentiation | Category specific modelling

Differentiation | Category specific modelling

Automobile Purchase Intender Example

A test ad-campaign with a major Euro automobile manufacturer
 Designed a test that served the same ad creative to test and control groups on Yahoo
 Success metric: performing specific actions on Jaguar website

Test results: 900% conversion lift vs. control group
 Purchase Intenders were 9 times more likely to configure a vehicle, request a price quote or locate a dealer than consumers in the control group
 ~3x higher click through rates vs. control group

Mortgage Intender Example

Experience summary at Yahoo!
• Dealing with one of the largest data sources (25 Terabyte per day)
• Behavioral Targeting business was grown from $20M to > $400M in 3 years of investment!
• Yahoo! Specific? — BigData critical to operations
– Ad targeting creates huge value
– Right teams to build technology (3 years of recruiting)
– Search is a BigData problem (but this has moved to mainstream)

Lessons Learned
A lot more data than qualified talent
 Finding talent in BigData is very difficult
 Retaining talent in BigData is even harder
At Yahoo! we created central group that drove huge value to company
Data people need to feel like they have critical mass
 Makes it easier to attract the right people
 Makes it easier to retain
Drive data efforts by business need, not by technology priorities
 Chief Data Officer role at Yahoo! – now popular
