Technologies like Ayasdi's exist now to automatically discover information from data without having someone making guesses up front.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The power of Ayasdi is its unique ability to automatically discover insights - regardless of complexity - without asking questions.
Ayasdi's customers can finally learn the answers to questions that they didn't know to ask in the first place.
I'm kind of fascinated by this idea that we can surround ourselves with information: we can just pile up data after data after data and arm ourselves with facts and yet still not be able to answer the questions that we have.
For me, the most exciting aspect of my success is how the insights that Ayasdi's technology has found in data can truly impact people's lives.
Some of the best theorizing comes after collecting data because then you become aware of another reality.
Collecting intelligence information is like trying to drink water out of a fire hydrant. You know, in hindsight It's great. The problem is there's a million dots at the time.
Data is the kind of ubiquitous resource that we can shape to provide new innovations and new insights, and it's all around us, and it can be mined very easily.
Data is the fabric of the modern world: just like we walk down pavements, so we trace routes through data, and build knowledge and products out of it.
The goal of 'Data Detectives' is to spark the imagination of students around the globe by making them think about new technologies that will impact humanity in ways similar to language and art.
There are a lot of services trying to solve the information discovery problem, and no one has got it right yet.
