 Almost enterprise suffering to understand data, but some digital natoves are using it adaptly to rapidly grow their company by McKinsey Global Institute report. We’ve all heard how “data is the new oil” that powers the global economy.  How big data is helping new companies get off the ground and expand into new markets was the focus of a panel discussion at the 2018 New Economy Summit (NEST) conference in Tokyo.
 Ghelia is a Tokyo joint venture founded in 2017 by WiL.  Ghelia President Ryo Shimizusaid said “Our ultimate goal is for this to be as simple as using Excel or a tabletop calculator.” 
 From their opinion, I can learn they are try to finding maximam value from a huge of data and developing new specific solution for cliant. For example, we can use it for giving advice  about recruiting or job-hunting.
 Akira Shibata, chief data scientist at DataRobot Japan, described how his company’s machine learning platform can help people use the popular AI technique even if they don’t have expertise in programming or statistics. Based in Boston, DataRobot has AI solutions that can be used for everything from detecting fraud and anomalies in blockchains to predicting and preventing terrorist attacks.
 “We don’t want to be telling people, ‘This is the problem you should be solving,’” Shibata said in an interview on the sidelines of NEST. “We want to enable companies to identify and apply the technology to solving their own problems. What’s interesting about DataRobot is that our tool isn’t for data scientists, but people who have a much less sophisticated understanding of technology.”

    That's a very interesting article and it is nice to see startups investing in Big Data to solve problems. I really like that they aim to make it easy to use, because for many people big data can be very difficult as there is so many information to handle with. So I think that by making it easy to use it will open the doors of Big Data for many people. It is also good that they want to enable companies to identify and solve their own problems through Big Data, without needing the help of other people.
    I really liked to learn a little bit more about what Japanese startups are doing on the big data field.

The significant increase in data collection and processing capabilities has greatly improved the ability of weather forecasters to pinpoint the time and severity of hurricanes, floods, snowstorms and other weather events. Globally, more and more evidence of climate change is prompting governments and scientists to take action to protect people and property from its effects. But to take effective measures, they need to know more about the weather-from everything that will happen tomorrow to what will happen next year. According to the professor of economics and finance , Alan Anderson, PhD , “Example of an application of big data to weather forecasting is IBM’s Deep Thunder. Unlike many weather forecasting systems...
