Although the abuse of Big Data -- surveillance, spying, hacking -- has made headlines, it shouldn't overshadow the abundant positive applications of Big Data. In Reality Mining, Nathan Eagle and Kate Greene cut through the hype and the headlines to explore the positive potential of Big Data, showing the ways in which the analysis of Big Data ("Reality Mining") can be used to improve human systems as varied as political polling and disease tracking, while considering user privacy.Eagle, a recognized expert in the field, and Greene, an experienced technology journalist, describe Reality Mining at five different levels: the individual, the neighborhood and organization, the city, the nation, and the world. For each level, they first offer a nontechnical explanation of data collection methods and then describe applications and systems that have been or could be built. These include a mobile app that helps smokers quit smoking; a workplace "knowledge system"; the use of GPS, Wi-Fi, and mobile phone data to manage and predict traffic flows; and the analysis of social media to track the spread of disease. Eagle and Greene argue that Big Data, used respectfully and responsibly, can help people live better, healthier, and happier lives.Data miningBig dataComputer networksSocial aspectsInformation scienceSocial aspectsInformation scienceStatistical methodsData mining.Big data.Computer networksSocial aspects.Information scienceSocial aspects.Information scienceStatistical methods.006.3/12Eagle Nathan1649036Greene Kate1979-,CaBNVSLCaBNVSLCaBNVSLBOOK9910807063703321Reality mining3997549UNINA01839nam0 22004453i 450 VAN0028489220250327095031.384N978303133334720250117d2023 |0itac50 baengCH|||| |||||i e bcrFacts of Matter and LightTen Physics Experiments that Shaped Our Understanding of NatureChristian MaesChamSpringer2023xiii, 175 p.ill.24 cm76-XXFluid mechanics [MSC 2020]VANC019858MF78-XXOptics, electromagnetic theory [MSC 2020]VANC022356MF81-XXQuantum theory [MSC 2020]VANC019967MF81V35Nuclear physics [MSC 2020]VANC023270MF83-XXRelativity and gravitational theory [MSC 2020]VANC023243MFEmpirical testing of theoryKW:KFoundations of PhysicsKW:KHistory of PhysicsKW:KImportant physics experimentsKW:KModern physicsKW:KWorldview of physicsKW:KCHChamVANL001889MaesChristianVANV1821111059817Springer <editore>VANV108073650ITSOL20250328RICAhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-33334-7E-book – Accesso al full-text attraverso riconoscimento IP di Ateneo, proxy e/o ShibbolethBIBLIOTECA DEL DIPARTIMENTO DI MATEMATICA E FISICAIT-CE0120VAN08NVAN00284892BIBLIOTECA DEL DIPARTIMENTO DI MATEMATICA E FISICA08DLOAD e-Book 10292 08eMF10292 20250124 Facts of Matter and Light3418737UNICAMPANIA
