This guy just called Google a lookup table, that takes balls.

One asks what is the value of one divided by three, then multiplied by three. A mathematician answers "1". A physicist answers "0.999999..." (alternatively "0.99 ± 1%"). A statistician answers "¿ How much would you like it to be ?".

That was incredible. I watch every video posted on this channel and this one really struck me. Can we get more of this guy? Very interested in what he has to say.

This guy has a very odd idea of what "statistics" is. No way of dealing with missing or unclean data? No way of uncovering nonlinear relationships? Absolutely not true. He's clearly knowledgeable about statistics but still seems to think these things, which makes me think he just has a weird definition for the term, which is nonetheless very misleading. Interestingly, the causality discussion at the end of the video is currently where machine learning is weakest relative to standard statistical (and especially econometric) methods, so it's a very odd inclusion in a video with a subtitle about being better than pure statistics. Causality isn't completely unadressed in machine learning (see the work of Judea Pearl on causality in ML coming from the computer science side, or Susan Athey from the econometric side) but it's much less well established, and many of the engineering and CS people applying these methods in industry are largely clueless about these advances, or even the concept of causality outside an experimental setting.

Data mining is just applied statistics... just without a hypothesis to start with. This is why it is much more prone to mistaking random patterns for causal ones.

This professors is one of the first germans whose english doesn't make me cringe. I even thought he was british for a few seconds.

There are some free MIT lectures on algorithms and AI worth watching.

This guy should teach statistics. I want more of these videos!

More from him and more data mining please!

A great example of a real problem still seen with a lot of scientific studies today. Researchers feel they must have a trend and so draw in a trend line with no real support from the data. Objectivity, integrity and honesty are essential to science.

Is there anymore info regarding the benefits of higher BP?

WTF ? you upload this just when i am writing a paper about data mining ! thanks !

DRINKING GAME: Drink every time he says Data Drink every time he says Artificial Intelligence

This video was quite interesting. Would love some more videos on this kind of topic and videos with Professor Uwe Aickelin.

This video make remind me of tv series person of interest

The true mystery is: What’s behind the gray rectangle mask over the computer display? We may never know . . .

Wow, excellent talk about data mining/big data/machine learning. Good job guys!

A common problem that analysts encounter is where managers ask for this and that mean or average. They come to us with their solution, not their problem. Thus, they often get what they asked for and not what they wanted;

Once you figure this out, even more complex forms of those Capta's will be needed (the annoying things you have to type when attempting to register for things)

This is exactly the guy that came to Unicamp in Brazil to talk about Nottingham's CS research in big data and DIDN'T mention Computerphile! hahaha

What is hidden behind that square over the computer's screen?

Uwe Aickelin sound like just the man for James Harris "Jim" Simons company.

Loved this video, thanks :)

Amusing that a big data video appears a few days after some big data operations in the US are ruled illegal. Or alarming.

Wow, that thing with blood pressure is quite a cool example!

The salt example blew my mind

Google and facebook do big data mining in much larger scale than professor here actually indicates. To get that data is easy, to piece it up is hard. That's one reason Facebooks aquisition of whatsapp is already profitable for facebook. They got the one piece they didn't have. Phone numbers. Billions of them.

Thatssss my professor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

professor Uwe has the most awesome accent ever........ im wondering where hes from.... anyone?

In data mining how does one ensure that you aren't a victim of p-hacking, if you gave a sufficiently large data set?

he is so excited

I like this guy.

Right, looking up the data isn't that hard for Google, but finding a way to fit a website or image in their tables proooobably is

very, very interesting.

More like this, please.

So it's just a different flavour of statistics?

Dude, Paper doesn't grow on trees, you know?

"I drank water and therefore..." :D

At first I read dota mining xD

Google: it's just a lookup table.

It could be that salt has no significant effect on blood pressure and other contributors, such as stress (more stress in industrialized nations), dominate. Finland has the highest rate of heart attacks and 40% of the Finnish diet is derived from fat. But Greece has the lowest heart attack rate and 40% of the Grecian diet is derived from fat...

Google is just a look up table .... ThugLife baby

Data

you can always manipulate a statistic to support an argument politicians make a living doing it and it appears doctors do as well !!

I WANT TO BE SMART

Statistics != linear regression

So the main take away from this is that a higher salt diet is a healthy part of a western lifestyle. I didn't expect medical advice on this channel, but I'm altering my eating behaviour right now based on this clear advice :-)

Y YU NO USE THA BROWN PAPER!??????!!!!!!!!!

Nnnnnoice

I can't understand him every other sentace. He talks too quickly and quietly at times.

Please stop using markers on paper.

Oh, another example of insufficient popular big data explanation.
