The development of vaccines has been one of the most important medical and pharmacological breakthroughs in the history of the world. Besides saving untold lives, they have enabled the human race to live and thrive in conditions thought far too dangerous only a few centuries ago. In recent times, the development of the COVID-19 vaccine has captured the world’s attention as the primary tool to defeat the current pandemic. The tools used to develop these vaccines have changed dramatically over time, with the use of big data technologies becoming standard in many instances. This study performs a structured literature review centered on the development, distribution, and evaluation of vaccines and the role played by big data tools such as data analytics, datamining, and machine learning. Through this review, the paper identifies where these technologies have made important contributions and in what areas further research is likely to be useful.

Big data technologies offer new opportunities for analyzing historical data generated by process plants. The development of new types of operator support systems (OSS) which help the plant operators during operations and in dealing with critical situations is one of these possibilities. The project FEE has the objective to develop such support functions based on big data analytics of historical plant data. In this contribution, we share our first insights and lessons learned in the development of big data applications and outline the approaches and tools that we developed in the course of the project.

Internet assumes an essential part in giving different learning sources to the world, which encourages numerous applications to give quality support of the customers. As the years go on the web is over-burden with parcel of data and it turns out to be difficult to extricate the applicable data from the web. This offers path to the advancement of the Big Data and the volume of the information continues expanding quickly step by step. Enormous Data has increased much consideration from the scholarly world and the IT business. In the advanced and figuring world, data is produced and gathered at a rate that quickly surpasses the limit go. Data mining procedures are utilized to locate the concealed data from the huge information. This Technique is utilized store, oversee, and investigate high speed of information and this information can be in any shape organized or unstructured frame. It is hard to handle substantial volume of information utilizing information base strategy like RDBMS. From one perspective, Big Data is amazingly important to deliver efficiency in organizations and transformative achievements in logical controls, which give us a considerable measure of chances to make incredible advances in many fields. There is most likely the future rivalries in business profitability and advances will without a doubt merge into the Big Data investigations. Then again, Big Data likewise emerges with many difficulties, for example, troubles in information catch, information stockpiling, information investigation and information perception. In this paper we concentrate on the audit of Big Data, its information order techniques and the way it can be mined utilizing different mining strategies.

Policymaking is increasingly being informed by ‘big data’ technologies of analytics, machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI). John Rawls used particular principles of reasoning in his 1971 book, A Theory of Justice, which might help explore known problems of data bias, unfairness, accountability and privacy, in relation to applications of machine learning and AI in government. This paper will investigate how the current assortment of UK governmental policy and regulatory developments around AI in the public sector could be said to meet, or not meet, these Rawlsian principles, and what we might do better by incorporating them when we respond legislatively to this ongoing challenge. This paper uses a case study of data analytics and machine-learning regulation as the central means of this exploration of Rawlsian thinking in relation to the redevelopment of algorithmic governance.

В связи с развитием технологий цифровой экономики возрастает по экспоненте и объем оцифрованной информации. Но информация имеет ценность, только если она анализируется определенным образом. Большие же объемы информации привычными методами анализировать невозможно. Речь уже идет о больших данных и технологиях больших данных. В статье описаны особенности больших данных. Рассмотрены методы и инструменты анализа больших данных. Подробно рассматривается такой метод решения задач на основе больших данных, как машинное обучение. In connection with the development of digital economy technologies, the volume of digitized information is growing exponentially. But information has value only if it is analyzed in a certain way. It is impossible to analyze large amounts of information using the usual methods. We are already talking about big data and big data technologies. The article describes the features of big data. Methods and tools for big data analysis are considered. Such a method of solving problems based on big data as machine learning is considered in detail.

The healthcare industry has a growing record of using big data-related technologies such as data analytics, internet of things, and machine learning, especially in the clinical areas. However, healthcare institutions must also perform all of the administrative processes just as any other organization. Thus, like many other industries, healthcare has begun to apply these same technologies to improve their understanding of these internal operations and use them to make better decisions and run a more effective operation. This study takes a structured literature review approach to describe the current state of this literature and identify the major themes and priorities of both the research community and the healthcare industry as a whole. The contribution made by this study is to provide a comprehensive analysis of the state of the literature to use as a foundation for the future research opportunities noted in the paper.

AbstractAdvances in mobile phone technology and social media have created a world where the volume of information generated and shared is outpacing the ability of humans to review and use that data. Machine learning (ML) models and “big data” analytical tools have the power to ease that burden by making sense of this information and providing insights that might not otherwise exist. In the context of international criminal and human rights law, ML is being used for a variety of purposes, including to uncover mass graves in Mexico, find evidence of homes and schools destroyed in Darfur, detect fake videos and doctored evidence, predict the outcomes of judicial hearings at the European Court of Human Rights, and gather evidence of war crimes in Syria. ML models are also increasingly being incorporated by States into weapon systems in order to better enable targeting systems to distinguish between civilians, allied soldiers and enemy combatants or even inform decision-making for military attacks.The same technology, however, also comes with significant risks. ML models and big data analytics are highly susceptible to common human biases. As a result of these biases, ML models have the potential to reinforce and even accelerate existing racial, political or gender inequalities, and can also paint a misleading and distorted picture of the facts on the ground. This article discusses how common human biases can impact ML models and big data analytics, and examines what legal implications these biases can have under international criminal law and international humanitarian law.
