Pietsch, Wolfgang
Big data / Wolfgang Pietsch - 1st ed. - Cambridge, United Kingdom Cambrdige c2021 - 77 p. 23 cm.
Big Data and methods for analyzing large data sets such as machine learning have in recent times deeply transformed scientific practice in many fields. However, an epistemological study of these novel tools is still largely lacking. After a conceptual analysis of the notion of data and a brief introduction into the methodological dichotomy between inductivism and hypothetico-deductivism, several controversial theses regarding big data approaches are discussed.
