InSciTe advisory: Prescriptive analytics service for enhancing research performance

Explosively increased Big Data and very fast technical evolutions require an entirely new analytics that is able to precisely analyze researchers´ activities until now and to provide research directions from now on. Prescriptive analytics shows fundamental difference with descriptive/predictive analytics in that it should provide multiple strategies to achieve a given research direction. Complex event processing also shows a new way to read implicit intentions from many kinds of activities such as publishing article, travelling on business, and attending conference. Thus, this talk shows a case study by explaining requirements and factors for implementing a personalized research service with InSciTe Advisory, as a data-intensive intelligent service, for helping to find plausible research directions. This talk also covers data gathering, information extraction from entities to simple events, reasoning, and Hadoop ecosystem.
