This is not only to increase knowledge but also to strengthen competitiveness. “So, from this seminar, you will get knowledge, insight, and experience about big data and data literacy that can be put to good use for your own benefit, such as the world of work,” he explained.
Currently, according to him, the availability of data is very large in various fields. But knowledge of it still tends to be “poor”. This must be changed, so that the availability of data and knowledge runs in balance. “How in the future can we extract data and be able to provide valuable information. This is important,” he concluded. (hms)
