The field of predictive analytics is one of the most complex and challenging subsets of the Big Data and advanced analytic market. There is also a very wide gap between the practitioners of predictive analyticsmost of whom are statisticians, scientific researchers and data scientistsand the people who most want to use predictive analytics for com...

Globally, the situation is similar. In 2014, the European Central Bank (ECB) published a report that highlighted fraud trends: €1 in every €2.635 spent on credit and debit cards was lost to fraud. According to a recent report from Barclays, the United States contributes disproportionately to global credit card fraud, accounting for more than 47...

Artificial intelligence (AI) is the new buzzword both in labs and in public. Advancements in deep learning and neural networks are improving computers' ability to perform difficult machine intelligence problems such as vision, language, and movement.

This SPIE report briefly discusses the patchwork of remedies that have been devised by governments and industries with the stated intent of protecting data privacy. It then presents approaches that may get to the heart of the matter through privacy solutions based not on industry action or government legislation, but on technology.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is thought to be the next revolution of the digital world, but some think that this revolution is already here. A trustable ecosystem will be the key to driving success in IoT. Smart objects will have autonomy and IoT security and privacy solutions will have to create a similar approach to detect, react to, and remove p...

As the hype continues around Big Data, its ambiguous nature continues to obscure the potential applications of the technology. Clarity is beginning to emerge within the A&D community about how Big Data can be leveraged for 'intelligence amplification' and companies are beginning to respond. This research aims to define these emerging applications a...

Big Data analytics for test and measurement (T&M) is gaining attention as many industries have realized the benefits of implementing Big Data analytics for T&M. Real-time analytics for maintaining the structural health of safety-critical components, reducing product development time, and ensuring quality maintenance can all be achieved by implement...

Strategic insights are gradually becoming very critical in businesses for the extraction of values from various data sources such as mobile devices, Web, automated sensory technologies, RFID, social networking websites, and so on. Prescriptive analytics can help in achieving these requirements for organizations. The prescriptive analytics-based dec...

This report asserts that real-time analytics is not settled science. It is not a foregone conclusion that every company needs and can afford real-time analytics in all areas of the business. There is also not, at this time, one shining example for all to follow in deploying it; but, instead, several models. Therefore, this report explores these a...
