Abstract:
Nowadays the creation and accumulation of Big Data is an unavoidable process of wide range of scenarios. Smart environments and diverse sources of sensors, but also the content created by humans, increases the Big Data’s enormous size and specific characteristics. To making sense of data, analyze and use these data, different more and more efficient algorithms have been developing constantly. Still, the effectiveness of these algorithms depends on the very nature of Big Data: analogue, noisy, implicit, and ambiguous. On the other hand another popular research area is Collective Intelligence. It represents the capability of interconnected intelligences to collectively and more efficiently solve concrete problems than each of the single intelligences.In the presentation will be given and overview and achievements of existing research on Big Data and Collective Intelligence.At the end the perspectives and challenges of the common directions of Big Data and Collective Intelligence will be discussed.
