摘要：
Web-scale data and the so-called peta-byte age is changing many aspects of business practice and scientific research. On the infrastructure level, it
poses significant challenges and push companies such as Google, Microsoft, IBM, Amazon to enable businesses to access and process data stored in the cloud.
On the science frontier, it challenges methodologies in many established fields including statistics, machine learning, natural language processing,
etc. In this short talk, I will describe the scale of the data deluge, as well the challenges and opportunities that come with it.
