Mathematics and Big Data
« Big Data » or « megadata » are invading our world. Thanks to new powerful algorithms, they make it possible to manage in a new way many actions concerning our daily life. More and more connected objects in our daily life exchange data, with the more or less implicit consent of their user. Their heterogeneity forces us to rethink the statistical approach. Their quantity requires revisiting traditional representations as well as classical algorithms, for the benefit of new methods from artificial intelligence: a sector full of future for mathematicians.
