A new paper, written by Tho Nguyen of Teradata and James Taylor of Decision Management Solutions, examines “Dark Data” that includes sensor and streaming data, image data, audio and video data, as well as semi-structured data (e.g., log files, survey data, notes or presentations, email correspondence, and financial statements). New analytic technologies—such as artificial intelligence, cognitive, deep learning and machine learning—are shining new light on dark data, allowing organizations to gain more business value from a wider spectrum of data.
