Whether we realize it or not, we are living in an era of big data. Just to get an idea about how much data is constantly being generated, just look into some of the numbers published by Google for 2019. As we know, Google Photos is the multimedia repository for storing photos created by Google. In 2019, an average of 1.2 billion photos and videos were uploaded to Google Photos every day. Also, an average of 400 hours of video (amounting to 1 PB of data) were uploaded every minute each day to YouTube. We can safely say the amount of data that is being generated has simply exploded.
The current interest in data-driven algorithms is driven by the fact that data contains valuable information and patterns. If used in the right way, data can become the basis of policy-making decisions, marketing, governance, and trend analysis.
