Слайд 3tl;dr: The scientific method is alive and well. Big data has just changed

the economics.

Слайд 4How have the web and big data changed science? Let’s ask some

of the experts.

Слайд 5“You have to kiss a lot of frogs to find one

prince. So how can you find your prince faster? By finding more frogs and kissing them faster and faster.” Mike Moran Do It Wrong Quickly: How the Web Changes the Old Marketing Rules, 2007 Cited by Kohavi in Online Controlled Experiments at Large Scale, 2013

Слайд 6Web Science = faster, cheaper experiments.


Слайд 7“The cost of experimentation is now the same or less than

the cost of analysis. You can get more value…by doing a quick experiment than from doing a sophisticated analysis.” Michael Schrage Value-Creation, Experiments, and Why IT Does Matter, 2010

Слайд 8Web Science = more experiments, less analysis?


Слайд 9“with massive data, this approach to science — hypothesize, model, test

— is becoming obsolete… Petabytes allow us to say: "Correlation is enough." We can stop looking for models…analyze the data without hypotheses…throw the numbers into the biggest computing clusters the world…and let…algorithms find patterns where science cannot.” Chris Anderson The End of Theory, 2008

Слайд 12Let’s rewind.


Слайд 13What makes it science?


Слайд 14Hypothesis


Слайд 17The scientific method still works today. What’s changed is the economics.


Слайд 18Scientific Method 1747


Слайд 19Scientific Method Today


Слайд 20It’s the economy, science.
Yesterday
Experiments are expensive,
choose hypotheses wisely.
Today
Experiments are cheap,
do as

many as you can!


Слайд 21What about Web Science?


Слайд 22A/B testing: everybody’s doing it.


Слайд 23Google: 20k search experiments per year


Слайд 24hypotheses


Слайд 25The Myth of Insight


Слайд 26Scientists gain insight by staring at data.


Слайд 27Big data tools improve data exploration.


Слайд 28In hypothesis generation, quantity trumps quality.


Слайд 29Except when it doesn’t.


Слайд 31Easier to analyze data than research humans.


Слайд 32But we pay the price.
Example: search engine improvements in batch evaluations

don’t always predict real user benefits. [Hersh et al, 2000] Do Batch and User Evaluations Give the Same Results? [Turpin & Hersh, 2001] Why Batch and User Evaluations do not Give the Same Results [Turpin, Scholer, 2006] User Performance versus Precision Measures for Simple Search Tasks
But also see…
[Smucker & Jethani, 2010] Human Performance and Retrieval Precision Revisited

Слайд 33When local optimization is cheap, you neglect the rest.


Слайд 34To summarize: how is web science different?
Online testing is cheaper and

scalable.
Data exploration tools make hypothesis generation cheaper and easier.
But the experiments that are easy and cheap aren’t always the most valuable.
Easy to forget our biases as scientists.

Слайд 35Take-Aways
The scientific method is alive and well. Big data has just

changes the economics.
Cheaper hypothesis testing and generation has already been transformative. That’s why big data matters.
But we neglect the human side of scientific experimentation at our peril.
