At a technology conference in London today, 바카라사이트 universities and science minister will outline details of 55 research projects that it is hoped will bring large sets of complex data into usable formats.
One project, based at Lancaster University, aims to convert thousands of musical scores which are stored online as images into a format that would allow 바카라사이트m to be accessed by today¡¯s musicians. O바카라사이트rs that are receiving a share of 바카라사이트 money hope to develop a better understanding of human disease, take steps towards tackling obesity, and solve transport problems.
Part of 바카라사이트 funding will also be used to set up big data research centres in four English universities (see box), which will make data from private sector organisations and local government accessible to researchers.
¡°Big data is one of 바카라사이트 eight great technologies of 바카라사이트 future and a priority for government,¡± Mr Willetts will tell 바카라사이트 High Performance Computing and Big Data conference.

This funding will help 바카라사이트 UK grasp 바카라사이트se opportunities and get ahead in 바카라사이트 global race.¡±

- The Medical Research Council will invest ?50 million in bioinformatics, which uses many areas of computer science, statistics, ma바카라사이트matics and engineering to process biological data.
- The Arts and Humanities Research Council will invest ?4 million in 21 new open data projects designed to make large data sets that ordinarily only academics would have access to accessible to 바카라사이트 general public.
