Writing

Heinrich Koch is a second-year college student. Last semester his best friend had his laptop stolen. The laptop was an old computer that he planned to replace soon, but the greatest loss was his data: he had not performed a backup and all his data was lost. Heinrich himself does not perform data back-ups but knows that he needs to do that on a regular basis. He has decided to use an online backup service that will auto-matically back up his data whenever it changes. Evaluate and compare reviews of online backup services. Consider iDrive, Carbonite, Acronis True Image, BackBlaze, and others you might find in your research. Recommend a service that you consider the best solution for Heinrich. Discuss your reviews and mention speed, security, and features in your recommendation.

Requirements:

  • APA format, 3-4 pages in length (excluding cover page, abstract, and reference list)
  • Minimum of 2-3 peer reviewed resources
  • The paper must be 3-4 pages long. double space, and must have an introduction with a clear thesis statement, a body discussing the three main points and a conclusion
  • Conduct research to find relevant information using reliable sources to support your views; Use at least 2-3 peer review resources
  • Use APA Style for in-text citations, and references

Question:

While  this weeks topic highlighted the uncertainty of Big Data, the author  identified the following as areas for future research.  Pick one of the  following for your Research paper:

  • Additional  study must be performed on the interactions between each big data  characteristic, as they do not exist separately but naturally interact  in the real world.
  • The scalability and efficacy of existing analytics techniques being applied to big data must be empirically examined.
  • New  techniques and algorithms must be developed in ML and NLP to handle the  real-time needs for decisions made based on enormous amounts of data.
  • More  work is necessary on how to efficiently model uncertainty in ML and  NLP, as well as how to represent uncertainty resulting from big data  analytics.
  • Since  the CI algorithms are able to find an approximate solution within a  reasonable time, they have been used to tackle ML problems and  uncertainty challenges in data analytics and process in recent years.

Your paper should meet these requirements: 

  • Be approximately four to six pages in length, not including the required cover page and reference page.
  • Follow APA 7 guidelines. Your paper should include an introduction, a body with fully developed content, and a conclusion.
  • Support your answers with the readings from the course and at  least two scholarly journal articles to support your positions, claims,  and observations, in addition to your textbook. The UC Library is a  great place to find resources.
  • Be clearly and well-written, concise, and logical, using excellent  grammar and style techniques. You are being graded in part on the  quality of your writing.
