have probably never heard about,
většina z vás nikdy neslyšela,
minutes of your life on April 19, 2013.
22 minut tak nějak podprůměrně.
22 minut života velmi zábavně,
for 22 very entertaining minutes,
about three years ago.
is a senior executive with Amazon Studios.
v Amazon Studios,
company of Amazon.
zaměřená na TV produkci.
as "movies, TV, technology, tacos."
"filmy, TV, technologie, tacos."
because it's his responsibility
protože jeho zodpovědností je
that Amazon is going to make.
Amazon natočí.
a highly competitive space.
konkurenční oblast.
TV shows already out there,
již bylo natočeno.
jen tak nějaký seriál.
that are really, really great.
který je vážně, vážně skvělý.
of this curve here.
konci tady této křivky.
is the rating distribution
asi 2500 TV seriálů na IMDB
on the website IMDB,
how many shows get that rating.
seriálů toho hodnocení dosáhlo.
of nine points or higher, that's a winner.
jestliže dostane 9 nebo více bodů.
"Game of Thrones," "The Wire,"
"Hra o trůny", "The Wire",
your brain is basically like,
série v podstatě říká:
here on that end,
tady na konci,
"Toddlers and Tiaras" --
Toddlers and Tiaras (Batolata a čelenky) -
on that end of the curve.
getting on the left end of the curve,
že by se mohl dostat na levý konec křivky,
some serious brainpower
že k trumfnutí "Batolat a čelenek"
is this middle bulge here,
výduť tady uprostřed,
that aren't really good or really bad,
ani dobré ani špatné,
that he's really on the right end of this.
dostala úplně na pravý konec křivky.
doing something like this,
to take any chances.
he holds a competition.
through an evaluation,
of each one of these shows
každého z těchto seriálů
for everyone to watch.
is giving out free stuff,
are watching those episodes.
sledují tyto epizody.
while they're watching their shows,
že zatímco sledují tyto epizody,
by Roy Price and his team,
when somebody presses pause,
když někdo video pozastaví,
what parts they watch again.
a které sledují znova.
to have those data points
which show they should make.
který seriál natočit.
so they collect all the data,
and an answer emerges,
about four Republican US Senators."
o čtyřech republikánských senátorech."
remember that show, actually,
z vás pamatovalo ten seriál,
the average of this curve here is at 7.4,
na křivce je tady na 7,4
and his team were aiming for.
a jeho tým nemířili.
at about the same time,
to land a top show using data analysis,
skvělou ukázku použití analýzy dat,
the Chief Content Officer of Netflix,
vedoucí oddělení obsahu v Netflixu
he's on a constant mission
na neustálé misi,
a little bit differently.
what he did -- and his team of course --
on a jeho tým
they already had about Netflix viewers,
co už měli o uživatelích Netflixu,
they give their shows,
what shows people like, and so on.
co mají lidé rádi atd.
about the audience:
what kind of actors.
all of these pieces together,
of course, nailed it with that show,
s tou show pořádně zaválel,
(potlesk)
a 9.1 rating on this curve,
na této křivce hodnocení 9,1,
where they wanted it to be.
kde jej chtěli mít.
what happened here?
co se to vlastně stalo?
data-savvy companies.
v datech zběhlé společnosti.
millions of data points,
beautifully for one of them,
jenom pro jednu z nich,
that this should be working all the time.
mělo fungovat vždycky.
millions of data points
to make a pretty good decision.
celkem dobře vyjít, ne?
of statistics to rely on.
na které se spoléháte.
with very powerful computers.
vysoce výkonných počítačů.
is good TV, right?
alespoň slušný seriál, že?
does not work that way,
where we're turning to data more and more
kdy se na data stále více a více obracíme,
that go far beyond TV.
rozhodnutí, daleko závažnější než v TV.
Multi-Health Systems?
Multi-Health Systems?
is a software company,
je softwarová společnost,
nesetkal nikdo z této místnosti,
with that software,
it means you're in prison.
tak by byl ve vězení.
and they apply for parole,
požádá o propuštění na podmínku,
data analysis software from that company
pro datovou analýzu té společnosti
whether to grant that parole.
jestli jej pustí.
as Amazon and Netflix,
u Amazonu a Netflixu,
a TV show is going to be good or bad,
jestli bude seriál špatný nebo dobrý,
is going to be good or bad.
člověk špatný nebo dobrý.
that can be pretty bad,
to může být celkem zlé,
I guess, even worse.
vězení by byly daleko horší.
some evidence that this data analysis,
že tyto datové analýzy
does not always produce optimum results.
přestože mají spousty dat.
like Multi-Health Systems
že by firmy jako Multi-Health Systems
companies get it wrong.
datové firmy se někdy zmýlí.
that they were able, with data analysis,
že jsou schopni pomocí datové analýzy
the nasty kind of flu,
on their Google searches.
and it made a big splash in the news,
a byl z toho obří poprask v médiích,
of scientific success:
vrcholu vědeckého úspěchu:
for year after year after year,
z časopisu "Nature."
from the journal "Nature."
Amazon and Google,
v oblasti dat, Amazon a Google,
into real-life decision-making --
rozhodovacích procesů každodenního života:
that data is helping.
že ta data opravdu pomáhají.
a lot of this struggle with data myself,
spousty těchto potíží s daty,
where lots of very smart people
hodně velmi chytrých lidí
to make pretty serious decisions
k rozhodování o tak vážných věcech,
or developing a drug.
nebo vývoj léků.
I've noticed a sort of pattern
jsem našel určitý vzor,
about the difference
decision-making with data
and it goes something like this.
a pracuje to zhruba takhle:
solving a complex problem,
apart into its bits and pieces
na malé kousky a části,
those bits and pieces,
důkladně zanalyzovat,
you do the second part.
back together again
have to do it over again,
back together again.
no matter how powerful,
jakkoliv silné,
and understanding its pieces.
a pochopit jeho kousky.
back together again
kousků zpět dohromady
and we all have it,
který máme všichni,
back together again,
that Netflix was so successful,
Netflix tak úspěšný.
where they belong in the process.
kam v procesu patří.
lots of pieces about their audience
drobností o jejich publiku,
been able to understand at that depth,
pochopit do takové hloubky.
to take all these bits and pieces
že to všechno zase vezmou
and make a show like "House of Cards,"
jako "House of Cards,"
made that decision to license that show,
že ten seriál budou licencovat,
that they were taking
na sebe vzali celkem velký risk.
with that decision.
they did it the wrong way around.
to vzali za špatný konec.
to drive their decision-making,
rozhodovacím procesu.
their competition of TV ideas,
to make as a show.
a very safe decision for them,
velmi bezpečné rozhodnutí,
point at the data, saying,
poukázat na data a říct:
results that they were hoping for.
ve které doufali.
useful tool to make better decisions,
nástrojem pro zlepšení rozhodování,
to drive those decisions.
udělat ta rozhodnutí celé.
data is just a tool,
stále jsou pouhým nástrojem,
I find this device here quite useful.
je dobré toto malé zařízení.
se rozhodovalo podle tohoto zařízení
device to use.
a yes or no question,
rozhodnout mezi ano a ne,
and then you get an answer --
tou koulí, a pak dostanete odpověď -
in this window in real time.
- tady, takřka ihned.
na ukázku technologie.
so I've made some decisions in my life
udělal jsem v životě rozhodnutí,
I should have just listened to the ball.
když se tak teď dívám zpět.
if you have the data available,
much more sophisticated,
za něco mnohem sofistikovanějšího,
to come to a better decision.
pro lepší rozhodnutí.
and smarter and smarter,
to make the decisions
rozhodnout my sami,
something extraordinary,
message, in fact,
povzbudivou zprávou,
of huge amounts of data,
takovému množství dat,
co vás dostane na pravý konec křivky,
on the right end of the curve.
