Finnish Strategic Centres for Science, Technology and Innova8on Informa8on and Communica8on Industry and Services Data to Intelligence (D2I): Research Challenges A research programme on data-‐driven intelligent services Petri Myllymäki 14.12.2011 December 14, 2011

D2I Vision & Mission •  Vision 2015/2016 We have developed the necessary intelligent methods and tools for managing, reﬁning and u8lizing diverse data sources. The results enable innova8ve business models and services. •  Mission To boost the Finnish interna8onal compe88veness through intelligent (context-‐ sensi8ve, personalized, proac8ve) data processing technologies and services that add measurable value. WP OS: Organisations, Services e.g. business models, processes, user-‐centric requirements WP DT: Data, Technologies WP MA: Methods, Algorithms e.g. semantics, structures, e.g. models, analytics, data platforms, security mining and understanding14.12.2011 Tivit Interac8ve, Dec 14, 2011

Intelligent data-‐driven systems Main steps: 1.  Iden8fy the context –  Context: both the environment and the user (proﬁle, preferences, status, cogni8ve state) –  Both the current and also the future context PROACTIVE –  Context inferred automa8cally ADAPTIVE 2.  Retrieve relevant informa8on CONTEXT-‐SENSITIVE –  Relevancy deﬁned with respect to the context and the user PERSONALIZED 3.  Present the informa8on to the user –  In an understandable form that supports informed decision-‐making –  Gather (explicit and/or implicit) feedback and go back to Step 1. 14.12.2011 Tivit Interac8ve, Dec 14, 2011

Main technological challenges •  Data is big –  Wikipedia: “Big data are datasets that grow so large that they become awkward to work with using on-‐hand database management tools” –  Need (predic8ve) models for big data analy8cs (machine learning, data mining, data analysis,…) •  Data is heterogeneous and unstructured –  Wikipedia: “Data sets also grow in size because they are increasingly being gathered by ubiquitous informa8on-‐sensing mobile devices, so[ware logs, cameras, microphones, RFID readers, wireless sensor networks and so on” –  Need data fusion methods for integra8ng heterogeneous and parceled data sources •  Data is complex –  Data elements are not only numerous, they are o[en broad (consis8ng of many measurements), so that making sense of data is diﬃcult –  Need sophis8cated data visualiza8on and summariza8on methods that support informed decision-‐making 14.12.2011 Tivit Interac8ve, Dec 14, 2011

Can we do it? •  Intelligent (adap8ve, context-‐sensi8ve, personalized, proac8ve) systems require sophis8cated models, algorithms and tools •  Luckily, Finland is an interna8onally recognized leader in many of the relevant research ﬁelds, see e.g. the Evalua8on of Computer Science Research in Finland 2000-‐2006 (Academy of Finland, 8/07): “machine learning and probabilis1c methods are arguably the strongest single area of computer science in Finland” •  However, the challenges posed by big data require in many areas new methodological innova8ons, and more work •  The main challenge is s8ll to bridge the gap between the technology and the business 14.12.2011 Tivit Interac8ve, Dec 14, 2011
