SUMMARY:Prof David Hand (SRI\, Imperial College): Data\, data everywhere\, 
 but let’s just stop and think
DESCRIPTION:Professor David Hand presents the 29th Schrödinger lecture.The
  lecture will be followed by a reception and an opportunity to talk to som
 e of Imperial’s data researchers.\nBig data and open data hold tremendou

 d with this promise. Beginning with the observation that people want answe
 rs to questions\, not simply data\, Statistician Professor David Hand expl
 ores some of the difficulties and risks which lie along the path to findin
 g those answers\, and examines how they may be overcome.\nPlease click her
