13 new trends in Big Data and Data Science<\/strong> <\/a>— from bigdatanews.com by Mike Beneth<\/p>\n

  1. The rise of data plumbing, to make big data run smoothly, safely, reliably, and fast through all “data pipes” (Internet, Intranet, in-memory, local servers, cloud, Hadoop clusters etc.), optimizing redundancy, load balance, data caching, data storage, data compression, signal extraction, data summarization and more. We bought the domain name DataPlumbing.com last week.<\/li>\n
  2. The rise of the data plumber, system architect, and system analyst (a new breed of engineers and data scientists), a direct result of the rise of data plumbing<\/li>\n
  3. Use of data science in unusual fields such as astrophysics, and the other way around (data science integrating techniques from these fields)<\/li>\n
  4. The death of the fake data scientist.

    NEW YORK<\/span>, April 16, 2015<\/span> \/PRNewswire-USNewswire\/ — Fortune 500 companies looking to move the talent needle forward are now able to send employees through online certificate courses in data science, power engineering, and data center and cloud technologies. The NYU Polytechnic School of Engineering’s online learning unit has launched certificates of completion in these new three-course immersion programs.<\/p>\n

    The new Data Science certificate<\/a> includes three courses in big data analysis, machine learning, and principles of database systems, with substitutions allowed for visualization or cloud computing courses. “Organizations are drowning in data but starving for insights,” said Professor Nasir Memon<\/span>, chair of the Computer Science and Engineering Department. “The Data Science certificate provides coursework immediately applicable to data scientists working on complex data problems.”<\/p>\n
