From big data to bigger ideas: Paul Verschure at TEDxBarcelona

Paul Verschure Research is professor with the Catalan Institute of Advanced Studies (ICREA) and director of the Center of Autonomous Systems and Neurorobotics and the laboratory of Synthetic Perceptive, Emotive and Cognitive Systems at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF) in Barcelona, Spain.

In his talk Paul discusses how the accumulation of data in many different fields is exponential. For Paul big data is the big question: how do we handle big data? Will these data drown us intellectually? In his talk he shows how having large amounts of data on a topic cannot always assure a better understanding and how creativity is key to manage the big data.
The talk has been recorded at TEDxBarcelona on the 17th of May 2013. For more information please visit www.tedxbarcelona.com

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
