From Spotify to Shazam: How Big-Data Remade the Music Industry One Algorithm at a Time Published May 22, 2017 at 10:36 AM EDT Updated May 27, 2017 at 11:16 AM EDT ...

An important feature of this splitting is that if the big number—12,345,678—appears frequently in your overall data stream, so will its two-digit components.

And data, here, encompasses a lot of things—numbers, words, images, clicks, what have you. If it can be digitally stored, it can be fed into a machine-learning algorithm.

The difference now is data about our habits and movements flow in a continuous stream, said Rob Kitchin, a National Institute of Regional and Spatial Analysis professor at Ireland's Maynooth ...
