This document discusses big data and how context is important for extracting meaningful insights from large datasets. It provides examples of big data sources like images, video, audio and text. Big data algorithms are needed to filter out noise and extract real human meaning from the data by understanding context. Predictive tools like Google Now track online behavior over time to predict what information a user might need. The document also discusses how diversity in learning can foster more creative thinking when analyzing big data. Finally, it outlines two areas where big data and creativity meet in marketing - optimization by detecting patterns in large observations, and experimentation by rapidly testing and refining multiple digital messages.
