Abstract

The objective of the talk is to give the audience a broad, yet not well appreciated, overview of the areas of Big Data and Machine Learning: what they mean today and fifty years from now, drawing on latest developments in Deep Learning. Investments in Silicon Valley are returning their focus on basic science and technology, from an over-investment in some consumer and entertainment service areas. I will also share some concrete current business use cases, demonstrating state-of-the-art tooling and architectures in production today. I will close by sharing my perspective with a motivational message for those contemplating a career in the field.
