How to compare two objects?Data Object Object Pairs • Academia:NCSU:Admission data • Objects: Students • Based on a single feature: • Similar GPA • The same first letter in the last name • Based on a set of features: • Similar academic records (GPA, GRE, etc.) • Similar demographic records • Can you compute a numerical value for your similarity measure used for comparison? Why or Why not?
How to represent data mathematically?Data Object & its Features Data Model • What mathematical objects have you studied? • Scalar • Points • Vectors • Vector spaces • Matrices • Sets • Graphs, networks (maybe) • Tensors (maybe) • Time series (maybe) • Topological manifolds (maybe) • … 9

Human Bandwidth Overload? More data Scalability of analysis in full context Petabytes Terabytes Gigabytes Megabytes More analysis How to Make Sense of Data?Know Your Limits & Be Smart Not humanly possible to browse a petabyte of data. Analysis must reduce data to quantities of interest. Ultrascale Computations: Must be smart about which probe combinations to see! Physical Experiments: Must be smart about probe placement! To see 1 percent of a petabyte at 10 megabytes per second takes: 35 8-hour days!
