Big Data Expert Witnesses
Big data expert witness candidates typically have an advanced degree, with experience and expertise in data analytics, computer science, cloud computing, and/or information technology. Cahn Litigation Services is frequently called upon by law firm clients to locate expert witnesses that can support big data matters.
Big data is a data science that deals with analytics, data mining, and extracting information from a data set that is too large or complex to be dealt with by traditional data-processing software.
The term big data can also refer to the use of predictive analytics, statistical analytics, statistical modeling, or other advanced analytics methods that use electronic data from a data set, regardless of the size of the data set.
The ecosystem of big data can be characterized as:
- Techniques for analyzing data, such as machine learning and natural language processing
- Big data technologies, for example, business intelligence and cloud computing
- Visualization, such as graphs of the data
Applications that benefit from big data analytics include: health care, banking, education, media, Internet of Things, economic productivity, crime, security, and natural disaster and resource management.
Big data matters that require expert witness services typically involve intellectual property, criminal, data analysis, or cyber security.
Litigation support by a big data expert witness typically includes a review of the technology by an expert, an expert report, expert opinion, and expert testimony in court.
