SUMMARY:Data\, data everywhere\, but let’s just stop and think
DESCRIPTION:Registration\nThis event is fully-booked and tickets for an ove
 rflow room\, where a live feed to the main lecture will be shown\, are now
  available via eventbrite (link to external site). \nThe lecture will be 
 followed by a reception and an opportunity to talk to some of Imperial’s
  data researchers.\nAbstract\nBig data and   open data hold tremendous pro
 mise. But the hype often ignores the   difficulties and risks associated w
 ith this promise. Beginning with the   observation that people want answer
 s to questions\, not simply data\,   Statistician Professor David Hand exp
 lores some of the difficulties and risks   which lie along the path to fin
 ding those answers\, and examines how they may   be overcome.\nBiography\n
 Professor David Hand is   Senior Research Investigator and Emeritus Profes
 sor of Mathematics at   Imperial College\, London\, where he formerly held
  the Chair in Statistics. He   is also Chief Scientific Advisor to Winton 
 Capital Management.\nHe is a Fellow of the   British Academy\, and an Hono
 rary Fellow of the Institute of Actuaries\, and has served (twice) as Pres

 ration\, Measurement Theory and   Practice\, The Improbability   Principle

 Erwin Schrödinger Lecture is an annual event named after the noted Austri
 an scientist. Schrödinger was a theoretical physicist and a significant c
 ontributor to the wave theory of matter\, a form of quantum physics. He ma
 thematically devised an equation of wave mechanics that bears his name. He
  was a co-recipient of the 1933 Nobel Prize for physics. Today he is popul
 arly known for the paradox of Schrödinger’s cat.
