  •  
    KNIME, pronounced [naim], is a modular data exploration platform that enables the user to visually create data flows (often referred to as pipelines), selectively execute some or all analysis steps, and later investigate the results through interactive views on data and models.

The End of Theory: The Data Deluge Makes the Scientific Method Obsolete - 0 views

  • Sixty years ago, digital computers made information readable. Twenty years ago, the Internet made it reachable. Ten years ago, the first search engine crawlers made it a single database.
  • Google's founding philosophy is that we don't know why this page is better than that one: If the statistics of incoming links say it is, that's good enough.
  • The scientific method is built around testable hypotheses. These models, for the most part, are systems visualized in the minds of scientists. The models are then tested, and experiments confirm or falsify theoretical models of how the world works. This is the way science has worked for hundreds of years.

  • Peter Norvig, Google's research director, offered an update to George Box's maxim: "All models are wrong, and increasingly you can succeed without them."
  • Once you have a model, you can connect the data sets with confidence. Data without a model is just noise.

      That's what Chris Anderson thought is old-school.
  • But faced with massive data, this approach to science — hypothesize, model, test — is becoming obsolete.

      Come to conclusion? I don't think so.
  • There is now a better way. Petabytes allow us to say: "Correlation is enough." We can stop looking for models. We can analyze the data without hypotheses about what it might show. We can throw the numbers into the biggest computing clusters the world has ever seen and let statistical algorithms find patterns where science cannot.
  • What can science learn from Google?
  • This kind of thinking is poised to go mainstream.
