Chapter 582 We went to visit a teacher
"Steady tone?"

Hearing the name of this project, Tang Zhiyan thought about it seriously, and there seemed to be some impression in Tang Zhiyan's mind.

"I remember you told me before? Is this also a video software?"

"That's right." Ye Ge nodded. "In essence, Wenyin is a video software, but unlike Bilibili, Wenyin only makes short videos. Most videos are only two or three minutes long, and many videos are no more than one minute, or 20 to 30 seconds. To put it bluntly, Wenyin is a software that makes use of fragmented time."

Tang Zhiyan was a little confused: "According to what you said, it is not that difficult to develop this video, and you can do it by yourself, right? Do you still need my cooperation?"

Ye Ge smiled and said, "On the surface, it is indeed like this, but in fact, the most core and critical thing requires a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, and this thing is the 'big data algorithm'."

"I have heard of the term 'big data'. It seems that Toutiao is very good at this, and it seems that many Internet companies are also paying more and more attention to this, but they have not increased their investment. Is this 'big data' really that important?" Tang Zhiyan asked.

As the eldest daughter and the only child of the Tang family, Tang Zhiyan naturally has many sources of information.

Tang Zhiyan has heard of the term "big data".

The first company to propose the arrival of the "big data" era was McKinsey, a world-renowned consulting firm.

McKinsey said: "Data has penetrated every industry and business function today and has become an important factor of production. The mining and use of massive data heralds the arrival of a new wave of productivity growth and consumer surplus."

When smartphones became popular, many company managers proposed investing in "big data".

Although many companies have launched this project, they have not invested too much. Most of these companies are of the type that "whether there is any result or not, let's just give it a try first".

Therefore, Tang Zhiyan does not pay much attention to big data.

"Yes, very important."

Ye Ge nodded and did not hide anything from Tang Zhiyan.

"Let me ask you, if you are shopping online and your home is being renovated and you need to buy a lot of furniture, and you just search for the word 'bedding', and then you enter the shopping app twice and see a lot of links about 'bedding', and even some furniture and the like, what would you think?"

Tang Zhiyan thought for a moment and said, "I would find it very convenient, but if I buy all these things and he comes up with similar recommendations, I would feel very annoyed."

"So this requires the improvement of algorithms." Ye Ge replied, "Some of the most basic algorithms are like this. They push you some things of the same category, but they don't know how to converge. Constant push only makes you feel bored. But if the algorithm is optimized, for example, if you buy something and the algorithm thinks you don't need it, it will no longer push this kind of thing to you, but instead push some peripheral supporting products related to this thing, what do you think?"

Tang Zhiyan put herself in the situation and felt it from her own perspective: "If that's the case, then I'm quite happy to accept it."

Ye Ge asked again: "Then let me ask you again, if our B station uses big data, once someone likes to watch dancing videos that touch the line, after you watch them several times, and even stay on each video for a long time, after that, B station will push those dancing videos that touch the line to you from time to time, do you like it?" Tang Zhiyan rolled her eyes at Ye Ge: "I don't know whether I like it or not, but I think you boys should like it very much. You don't watch those dancing videos that touch the line every day, do you?"

"Ahem," Ye Ge coughed twice. "Generally speaking, that's what I mean. As long as the big data algorithm is well developed, it can be applied to all aspects, whether it's online shopping or Bilibili, or when we place advertisements in the future, it can play a lot of roles."

It is still 11th grade now.

In the next one or two years, the term big data will be mentioned more and more frequently.

People use it to describe and define the massive amount of data generated in the era of information explosion, and to name the related technological developments and innovations.

By then, "big data" will appear on the cover of columns of The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal, will be included in the news on the official website of the White House, will appear in some domestic Internet-themed lectures and salons, and will even be written into investment recommendation reports by companies with a keen sense of smell such as Guotai Junan Securities and Galaxy Securities.

Data is expanding and growing rapidly, and it determines the future development of enterprises. Although many enterprises may not realize the hidden dangers of problems caused by the explosive growth of data, as time goes by, people will become more and more aware of the importance of data to enterprises.

As the New York Times stated in a column in February 2012, the era of "big data" has arrived, and in business, economics and other fields, decisions will increasingly be made based on data and analysis rather than experience and intuition.

Gary King, a sociology professor at Harvard University, said: "This is a revolution. The huge data resources have enabled all fields to start the process of quantification. Whether in academia, business or government, all fields will begin this process."

When you comment, post videos, and vent your emotions online, you may not realize that many people are already treating your data as gold and oil.

The one who did the best in this regard was actually Douyin in my previous life.

But in this life, I have to intercept it.

"So what do you want to do? For this matter, I guess Xuetang Group and Penguin don't have many talents. Now there probably aren't many people who specialize in big data." Tang Zhiyan said.

"Normal. 'Big data' is a new concept. Not only in China, but also in the whole world, it is in a relatively blank stage. What we need to do is to get ahead of others!" Ye Ge chewed a piece of gum. "By the way, we won't go back yet."

Tang Zhiyan: "Not going back? Where to go then?"

"Hudan University." Ye Ge said slowly, "Let's go visit a teacher."

[Is the flu particularly severe recently? I feel like many people have caught a cold, and they are all over the place. ]
