Verdict lists five of the most popular tweets on big data in Q2 2021 based on data from GlobalDatas Influencer Platform.

The top tweets were chosen from influencers as tracked by GlobalDatas Influencer Platform, which is based on a scientific process that works on pre-defined parameters.

KDnuggets, a website focused on artificial intelligence (AI), analytics, big data, data science, and machine learning (ML) founded by data scientist Gregory Piatetsky-Shapiro, shared an article on the importance of ETL in data science. ETL involves the extraction of data from different sources, making changes in the data and loading it into a single destination.

Data is stored in different file formats and in different locations in most organisations, which can be inaccurate and inconsistent making it difficult to gain insights from the data or use it for data science, according to the article. ETL can help in addressing these issues by extracting the data and loading it into a central data warehouse. ETL can also help in running AI and ML applications by providing accurate data for the algorithms.

Kirk Borne, chief science officer at DataPrime, a provider of data science, analytics, ML and AI services and products, shared an article on how data analytics and ML can be used for predicting stroke, which is the second largest cause of death in the world. An estimated five billion people in the world get stroke a year, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).

Strokes can be prevented by identifying high risk patients and motivating them to choose a healthy lifestyle. The high-risk patients can be identified using data-science, data analytics and ML, according to the article. Several data analytics and ML models have been applied to evaluate the stroke risk factors including the use of a mixed-effect linear model to forecast the risk of cognitive decline in patients after a stroke. Another model created by researchers accurately predicted stroke outcome with high accuracy, stated the article.
