Big data sense

THE term big data is commonly used in almost every industry across the world and many businesses are eager to hop onto this corporate bandwagon.

Companies are seeking the assistance of digital experts, big data analysts or data scientists to help them discover new ways to manage their business more efficiently and effectively.

In the long run, the results from countless analyses will shed light on key areas that a company can improve on.

Therefore, there is a high demand for talented individuals and companies are willing to offer lucrative remuneration packages to fill these vacancies.

But what exactly is big data and what is required of data experts from small businesses to multinational corporations? Are you the talented individual who will help dictate the profits and losses of a company?

Analysing recordsIn the most basic sense, big data is a

generic term for large sets of structured and unstructured information that are difficult to process using traditional database or software techniques.

As a data scientist, it will be your main priority to study and understand these sets of data and provide conclusions that will not only help the business discover flaws within its business model but also have a better understanding of customers in terms of their preferences, economic conditions and spending power, social habits and behavioural patterns.

Data is collected from our Internet surfing patterns, shopping behaviour and even our political interests and so forth.

This means that organisations that can transform data or information into insights

will have an edge over their competitors. Depending on the size of the company,

your position may require you to study the company’s entire business structure and activities or focus on particular areas such as its operations, marketing activities and financial practices.

Required skillsA good analyst would typically have a

background in statistics, mathematics and economics.

Individuals who wish to pursue a career in data analysis may also consider a degree in information management, computer science or actuarial science and enrol in a postgraduate course in any of these fields.

Graduates with a mathematics degree are in high demand as mathematical modelling and problem-solving skills are highly prized,

as are an eye for detail, high analytical skills and knowledge of probability and statistics.

Graduates with a background in actuarial science will use mathematics and statistics to assess possible risks that an event will occur.

Those with knowledge in computer science and information systems can implement solutions to practical problems using current-day technology.

Graduates will find technical skills such as coding extremely useful and will have a clear understanding of programming properties.

They will then be able to design new softwares and algorithms for a business and apply them to meet business demands.

Future outlookIn an interview last year, Bob Chua,

an expert on big data and founder of international digital research agency Pulse Group Plc, noted that more companies are beginning to see the true value and potential of all their databases and records.

It is believed that data science is not just another passing trend but a new managerial practice that will forever remain relevant in maintaining top quality services.

As part of the Government’s aim to make

Spreading imagination HOLLYWOOD is known for high-grossing productions that generate billions of dollars annually.

On the other side of the globe, India’s film industry produces between 1,000 and 1,500 movies yearly, doubling and sometimes tripling the number of movies produced by its American counterpart.

While Malaysia has a long way to go before it can become an industry giant in film and animation, there are still positive signs of growth in the Asean region, making them interesting industries to consider for your tertiary degree.

What you will learnIf you love drawing, working with

computers and have a talent for storytelling, or are just someone who is bursting with creativity, why not enrol in an animation or fine arts degree?

Talented and successful individuals in this industry are driven by passion and long-standing interest.

“I have always been interested in comics, film, drawing and model-making. I just love that my job allows me to build the things that fuelled my childhood imagination,” says Gene Chee, modeller and environment artist at Industrial Light and Magic, a subsidiary company of Lucasfilm and Disney in Singapore.

Improving patient safety with ITPATIENTS’ safety, especially those in intensive care units (ICUs), is of paramount importance. As such, much attention into this area has been given by the Health Ministry and hospitals, including the National Heart Institute (Institut Jantung Negara).

However, there is a lack in the existing information technology (IT) systems in the ICUs, which are used as part of a clinician’s decision-making process.

To address this issue, Monash University Malaysia’s School of Information Technology is collaborating with the National Heart Institute to enhance its IT system within the ICU, which will in turn improve patients’ safety during their hospital stay.

Medical cognitive scientist and lead researcher Dr Nik Nailah Abdullah says that the project will be first of its kind in Malaysia.

Dr Nailah, who is also a lecturer at the School of Information Technology in Monash Malaysia, says, “This collaboration aims to improve the current system design in ICUs through the application of cognitive science and artificial intelligence methods.

“Each patient has different conditions, so we have to come up with a general solution that is applicable in different contexts.

“The study will look into how clinicians make decisions, communicate and practise within their culture so that an information system can be built to help them make better decisions at the ICUs,” she says.

According to Dr Nailah, the project was inspired by Prof Vimla L. Patel from the New York Academy of Medicine, whose research has explored the role of cognition in designing a safer clinical workplace, group decision-making process in critical care

unit, the generation of medical errors, and the impact of technology on human cognition.

“It is an extremely complex environment at the ICUs as it involves a team of clinicians from different backgrounds who take care of patients, most with severe and critical illnesses,” she explains.

Dr Nailah says it is important for clinicians who are treating the same patient to collaborate and be well informed of what each member has done for the patient.

“Efficient and effective computer technology will decrease the time spent on the system and increase time spent on treating a patient,” she says.

“The Health Ministry’s current agenda is to advocate patients’ safety in all hospitals in Malaysia. We hope that more PhD students will be able to join us in making this project a success.”

Top student successTHINESH Selvarajoo, a final-year undergraduate student from The University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus (UNMC), met Barack Obama, President of the United States of America, in the White House during the Young Southeast Asian Leaders Initiative (YSEALI).

YSEALI is one of the President’s signature programmes that aims to strengthen leadership development and networking in South-East Asia as well as address global issues through the involvement of youth leaders.

“For me, this was a huge achievement and definitely one of the proudest moments of my life.

“I was humbled to meet a respected leader of an esteemed country who is also a seemingly ordinary man with a pleasant disposition and great sense of humour.

“It serves as motivation for me to continue to follow my dreams and aspire to be a good leader and better person,” says Thinesh, who is studying chemical and environmental engineering at UNMC.

“We are very proud of Thinesh for being selected for the YSEALI programme. It is a tremendous achievement and has given him the opportunity to interact with the President of the United States.

“This is truly a milestone in his life and it reflects the talent that he has shown throughout his university career,” says Prof Christine Ennew, chief executive officer and provost of The University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus.

The YSEALI Institute on Environmental Issues is funded by the US Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs and is part of the Study of the United States Institutes (SUSI).

The programme seeks to develop a vibrant network of young leaders to create innovative and positive solutions for the environmental challenges of the 21st century.

The selection process involved participants being recommended by a credible community engagement organisation and undergoing an official interview at the US Embassy in Kuala Lumpur.

These participants had shown active community involvement and proof of capable leadership in the relevant areas.

The participants travelled to Colorado and Washington DC to learn about global environmental issues through problem-based learning workshops and site visits.

The team’s proposal intends to reduce food wastage through a channel to distribute food to

charitable homes and soup kitchens.

The team was among 18 global recipients of the granted US$20,000 (RM84,600) from Seeds for the Future Grant Competition by the US Department of State.

The participants also had the opportunity to explore ways to address environmental challenges through environmental movements and policies affected by American society.

The contents of the programme include climate change, natural resources management, sustainable development, sustainable agricultural practices, food security, ecotourism and energy generation, which are delivered through a series of workshops with partner organisations such as Pearl Harbour Institute and Eco-Cycle, a non-profit recycler in the US.

Thinesh was among five Malaysians out of 19 participants who were selected from more than 1,000 applicants in the South-East Asia region.

The participants also worked with Boulder Food Rescue, a non-profit organisation based in Boulder, Colorado. Its goal is to create a more just and less wasteful food system.

The experience motivated Thinesh and his team members to come up with Food Rescue Asean, a social initiative that tackled the issue of food wastage in Malaysia and the Philippines.

Thinesh is also a recipient of the prestigious Vice Chancellor’s Achievement Award, presented by The University of Nottingham for his substantial contribution to the university and community.

On top of his active involvement in the university, Thinesh is also a Kuala Lumpur Tourism Ambassador and is actively involved in Teach for Malaysia and Successor Generation Network, Malaysia.

“Our students receive a well-rounded exposure as part of their education at The University of Nottingham, which not only equips them for their working life but moulds them into confident and capable individuals as well.

“Many of our students are not only high achievers in the academic and research fields but are also actively involved in addressing the global and local challenges,” says Prof Ennew.

UNMC students’ involvement in community engagements, international competitions and conferences sets them apart from their peers in the working environment.

Opportunities abound in creative arts industriesIndrani Kopal made headlines in the local media for winning the Best Student Documentary award at the American Pavilion’s Emerging Filmmaker Showcase, which was part of the prestigious Cannes Film Festival in France.

There are numerous local talents in the industry and this field requires more as it grows. Those who can adapt their skills to the industry’s needs will be especially valued.

For example, Chee adapted his skills from his background in visual communications to the computer-generated industry and now builds three-dimensional (3D) computer models for big budget films and projects. The scope of his job includes building characters, creatures, digital doubles of real actors, props and assembling environments for various shots.

“Seeing your creations on screen is fantastically rewarding, and having your name in the credits is the cherry on the top,” says Chee.

A promising industry“Animation is a huge field and

there are many specialised jobs in this rapidly developing industry. The technologies are always changing but there is also a very large online community of helpful

artists who can help to hone your craft,” says Chee.

Local film productions are slowly getting recognised by international parties and numerous production houses are starting to partner with foreign film directors and scriptwriters to

produce films of international quality.

Realising the nation’s talent and the potential in this rising industry, the Government and the National Film Development Corporation Malaysia have taken steps to promote the industry, including the

implementation of the Compulsory Screenings Scheme (Skim Wajib Tayang) that came into effect in 2005.

This scheme ensures local productions are given screening times in cinemas throughout the country.
