What is Big Data?

2014 IBM Corporation

Data

Its growing at massive scale and is the key to


improving analytics

1 trillion

By 2017 there will be more than


connected objects and devices on the planet
generating data.

80% of all data is unstructured and growing


15 times the rate of structured data
There are

2.5 billion gigabytes of data


generated every day

Over 500 billion tweets are


sent every day (Twitter)

Paradigm shifts enabled by big data & analytics


TRADITIONAL APPROACH

All
available
information

TRADITIONAL APPROACH

Small amount of
carefully organized
information

Analyzed
information

Analyze small subsets


of information

TRADITIONAL APPROACH

Hypothesis

Carefully cleanse information


before any analysis

TRADITIONAL APPROACH

Question
Data

Answer

Analysis

Insight

Data

Start with hypothesis and


test against selected data

15

Repository

Analyze data after its been processed


and landed in a warehouse or mart

Paradigm shifts enabled by big data & analytics


BIG DATA & ANALYTICS APPROACH

All
available
information
analyzed

Analyze
all information

Leverage more of the data being captured


BIG DATA & ANALYTICS APPROACH

BIG DATA & ANALYTICS APPROACH

Large
amount
of messy
information

Analyze information as is,


cleanse as needed

Reduce effort required to leverage data


BIG DATA & ANALYTICS APPROACH
Data

Data

Exploration

Analysis

Insight

Correlation

Explore all data and


identify correlations

16

Data leads the wayand sometimes


correlations are good enough

Insight

Analyze data in motion as its


generated, in real-time

Leverage data as it is captured


2014 IBM Corporation

BIG DATA & ANALYTICS APPROACH

What do these shifts enable us to do?

What will happen and what should you do

Predict and decide the best action

Learn to sense and predict using


all types of information

Cognitive computing

How Decision-Making is Changing

Quality and value of decisions

Decisions from Intuition


Instinct
Hunches
Based on experience

Automated Decision-Making

Knowledge, policies and practices


embodied in business rules
Decisions made efficiently and
consistently
Objective

Predictive Decision-Making

Accurate predictions based on


historic patterns
Leverage all available data
Flexible, evidence-based decisions
Robust in volatile environments
models re-generated from latest
data to reflects changing fashions,
trends, etc.

Preemptive Government A New York Story


Problem: family died in a fire in a building that had
been illegally subdivided; 10s of thousands of complaints
Strategy: Assessing Fire Risk through Predictive Analytics.
Identify most dangerous of illegally subdivided housing units
Metrics:
Owners in financial distress
Multiple illegal-conversion complaints
Multiple family dwellings built before 1938 (code revision)
Low income/high-immigrant/low-employment neighborhoods
Data: agency reports, real-estate filings, finance & tax information
Findings: dwellings with all four risk categories 40 times more likely
to have a fire
Targeted 225 of hightest risk buildings
23

Moral: targeting all conversions captures many properties, but


fails to
2014 IBM Corporation
focus on those at most risk

Memphis PD Lowers Crime Rate Through Real-time


Predictive Analytics

30%
Reduction in serious crime
overall

4 x increase
In share of cases solved in the
felony assault unit from 16% to
70%

Overall
Improvement
in ability to allocate police
resources in a budgetconstrained environment

33

Business problem: Tradtional practices and tight budgets


were no match against rising tide of criminal activity
Solution: Predictive enforcement tool gives precinct
commanders the ability to change tactics and redirect patrol
resources that both thwarts crime before it happens and
catches more criminals in the act

2014 IBM Corporation

A state health agency optimizes use of tax dollars by using


pattern analysis to crack down on Medicaid fraud
99% reduction
in potentially fraudulent claims,
from USD19.2 million to
USD138,000

USD49 million
recovered through 22 criminal
convictions and 18 civil
settlements

USD200 million
in questionable claims
identified within first 12 months

34

Business Challenge: Rising Medicaid costs and a growing


sense that too many inappropriate payments are being made
The Smarter Solution: Powerful analytical models flag
claims and providers that dont follow the typical patterns
exhibited by their peer groups. By finding obscure
connections among doctors, pharmacists, labs and medical
supply companies, the solution also helps uncover extended
fraud networks.

Medway Youth Trust Identifies At-risk Youth


> 50% success rate
with intervention cases by
accurate and early identification

250% improvement
in accuracy of identification of
those at risk

Accurately predict
whether individual youths have a
high (>60%) of needing help in
the future

Business Challenge: Fragmented, incomplete data from a


variety of state and local agencies hindered the goal of finding
permanency for at-risk youths.
The Smarter Solution: Sophisticated modeling and predictive
analytics on high volumes of text and data enable
caseworkers can uncover hidden patterns and relationships
and that might otherwise go unnoticed and use the insight to
determine just the right combination of services for each child

TechAmerica Big Data Report Findings


1. Understand the Art of the Possible
2. Identify 2-4 key business or mission requirements that develop
underpinning use cases that would create value for both the agency
and the public.
3.Take inventory of your data assets. Explore the data available both
within the agency enterprise and across the government ecosystem
within the context of use cases.
4.Assess your current capabilities and architecture against what is
required to support your goals
5.Explore which data assets can be made open and available to the
public to help spur innovation outside the agency.
