DAMN IT JIM I'M NOT A DOCTOR...I AM A DATA COLLECTOR!!!

Normal 1464289559 Capsule 184x69

I am sweet on suites; aka as data mining tools that can be used for scraping...I mean data mining. What is exactly data mining? According to Beerit Goldfarb (really that is her name) the concept of Data mining or automatically searching large stores of data for patterns. How you get the data is irrelevant, only how you analyze it. Data mining involves the use of complex statistical algorithms. On youtube there are a variety of scraper tools (sweet)

Screen/web scraping is a method for extracting textual characters from screens so that they could be analyzed. Commonly, it is used to extract characters from websites (web scraping), though not exclusively. This method for gathering data is direct, either through looking at websites' html code or visual abstraction techniques.

Beerit whose mind (and body) is of perfect form is a data junkie at Loom Systems (Loom Systems | The First Artificially Intelligent Data Scientist), where they automate analytical processes by teaching machines to think like humans. Their patent-pending technology automatically ingests every type and scale of data, learns its unique behavior, detects anomalies and trends and recommends actions. Built for low-touch operational simplicity, their solution empowers IT teams by transforming reactive users into proactive power-users.
