Big Data

Big Data refers to the vast volumes of structured and unstructured data that are generated at high velocity and variety from various sources, including social media, sensors, transactions, and more. This data is characterized by its high volume (the sheer amount of data), velocity (the speed at which data is generated and processed), and variety (the different formats and types of data). The analysis of Big Data aims to uncover patterns, trends, and insights that can inform decision-making and drive innovation across various fields, including business, healthcare, and science. Big Data technologies and tools enable the storage, processing, and analysis of these massive datasets, often leveraging distributed computing frameworks and data analytics techniques.
