have probably never heard about,
verovatno nije nikad čula,
minutes of your life on April 19, 2013.
vašeg života, 19. aprila 2013.
for 22 very entertaining minutes,
za 22 veoma zabavna minuta,
pre oko tri godine.
about three years ago.
is a senior executive with Amazon Studios.
je viši producent u Amazon Studios.
company of Amazon.
ima jež frizuru,
as "movies, TV, technology, tacos."
"filmove, TV, tehnologiju i takose".
because it's his responsibility
jer je njegova odgovornost
that Amazon is going to make.
koje će Amazon da snima.
a highly competitive space.
konkurentan prostor.
TV shows already out there,
da izabere bilo koju.
that are really, really great.
koje su zaista, zaista sjajne.
of this curve here.
ove krive ovde.
is the rating distribution
predstavlja raspodelu ocena
on the website IMDB,
how many shows get that rating.
koliko je serija imalo tu ocenu.
of nine points or higher, that's a winner.
od devet poena ili više, to je pobednik.
"Game of Thrones," "The Wire,"
"Igre prestola", "Žice",
koje vam uđu pod kožu,
your brain is basically like,
vaš mozak je u fazonu:
here on that end,
ovde na kraju,
"Toddlers and Tiaras" --
"Devojčice i dijademe" -
on that end of the curve.
getting on the left end of the curve,
da će završiti na levoj strani krive
some serious brainpower
prilično ozbiljne umne moći
is this middle bulge here,
ovo središnje ispupčenje ovde,
that aren't really good or really bad,
koje nisu naročito dobre, ni loše,
that he's really on the right end of this.
da zaista bude na desnom kraju ovoga.
doing something like this,
to take any chances.
he holds a competition.
through an evaluation,
of each one of these shows
svake od ovih serija
for everyone to watch.
gde ih svako može gledati.
is giving out free stuff,
are watching those episodes.
gledaju ove epizode.
while they're watching their shows,
da dok gledaju svoje serije,
by Roy Price and his team,
when somebody presses pause,
kad neko pritisne pauzu,
what parts they watch again.
koje delove iznova gledaju.
to have those data points
which show they should make.
koju će seriju snimati.
so they collect all the data,
and an answer emerges,
i pojavio se odgovor,
about four Republican US Senators."
o četiri američka republikanska senatora."
remember that show, actually,
zapravo seća te serije
the average of this curve here is at 7.4,
prosečna vrednost na ovoj krivoj je 7,4,
and his team were aiming for.
Roj i njegova ekipa želeli.
at about the same time,
otprilike istovremeno,
to land a top show using data analysis,
vrhunsku seriju, obradom podataka,
the Chief Content Officer of Netflix,
glavni referent sadržaja na Netfliksu,
he's on a constant mission
a little bit differently.
what he did -- and his team of course --
on - i naravno njegova ekipa -
they already had about Netflix viewers,
koje su već imali o gledaocima Netfliksa,
they give their shows,
what shows people like, and so on.
koje serije ljudi vole i tako dalje.
about the audience:
what kind of actors.
all of these pieces together,
of course, nailed it with that show,
je naravno trijumfovao tom serijom,
a 9.1 rating on this curve,
od 9,1 na ovoj krivoj,
where they wanted it to be.
what happened here?
šta se ovde desilo?
data-savvy companies.
spretne s podacima.
millions of data points,
milione jedinica podataka,
beautifully for one of them,
that this should be working all the time.
da bi ovo trebalo stalno da funkcioniše.
millions of data points
jedinica podataka
da donesete valjanu odluku.
to make a pretty good decision.
of statistics to rely on.
na 200-godišnju statistiku.
with very powerful computers.
izuzetno moćnim kompjuterima.
is good TV, right?
je dobra televizija, zar ne?
does not work that way,
ne funkcioniše tako,
where we're turning to data more and more
u kom se sve više okrećemo podacima
that go far beyond TV.
koje sežu mimo televizije.
Multi-Health Systems?
Multi-Health Systems?
is a software company,
je softverska firma
with that software,
to će značiti da ste u zatvoru.
it means you're in prison.
and they apply for parole,
i prijavi se za uslovnu,
data analysis software from that company
softver te firme za obradu podataka
whether to grant that parole.
da li da vam odobre uslovnu.
as Amazon and Netflix,
kao kod Amazona i Nefliksa,
a TV show is going to be good or bad,
da li će serija da bude dobra ili loša,
is going to be good or bad.
da bude dobra ili loša.
that can be pretty bad,
mogu da budu vrlo loša,
I guess, even worse.
su, valjda, još gore.
some evidence that this data analysis,
da ova obrada podataka,
does not always produce optimum results.
ne daje uvek optimalne rezultate.
like Multi-Health Systems
poput Multi-Health Systems
companies get it wrong.
koje su stručnjaci za podatke, greše.
that they were able, with data analysis,
da su u stanju, koristeći obradu podataka,
the nasty kind of flu,
gadnog oblika gripa,
on their Google searches.
s Guglovih pretraga.
and it made a big splash in the news,
i dospeli su u glavne vesti,
of scientific success:
for year after year after year,
godinu za godinom,
from the journal "Nature."
Amazon and Google,
Amazon i Gugl,
into real-life decision-making --
odlučivanja u stvarnom životu -
that data is helping.
da nam podaci budu korisni.
a lot of this struggle with data myself,
mnogo ove borbe s podacima
where lots of very smart people
gde mnogo veoma pametnih ljudi
to make pretty serious decisions
da bi doneli veoma ozbiljne odluke,
or developing a drug.
ili o razvoju leka.
I've noticed a sort of pattern
primetio nešto nalik obrascu
about the difference
ako hoćete, o razlici
decision-making with data
pomoću podataka
and it goes something like this.
a radi se o sledećem.
solving a complex problem,
apart into its bits and pieces
na sastavne komadiće i delove
those bits and pieces,
te komadiće i delove
you do the second part.
back together again
komadiće i delove
have to do it over again,
back together again.
no matter how powerful,
ma koliko moćni bili,
and understanding its pieces.
problem i da razumete njegove delove.
back together again
sastavljanje tih delova
koje može to da uradi i svi ga imamo,
and we all have it,
back together again,
komadića i delova,
that Netflix was so successful,
where they belong in the process.
tamo gde im je i mesto u procesu.
shvatili gomile stvari o svojoj publici
lots of pieces about their audience
been able to understand at that depth,
da razumeju tako podrobno,
to take all these bits and pieces
da uzmu sve te komadiće i delove
and make a show like "House of Cards,"
i naprave seriju, poput "Kuće od karata",
made that decision to license that show,
su odlučili da odobre tu seriju,
that they were taking
da su preuzimali
with that decision.
they did it the wrong way around.
oni su pogrešili u postupku.
to drive their decision-making,
sve vreme donošenja odluke,
their competition of TV ideas,
u TV idejama,
to make as a show.
da snimaju seriju "Alpha House".
a very safe decision for them,
veoma bezbedna odluka za njih
point at the data, saying,
pokažu na podatke i kažu:
results that they were hoping for.
rezultata kojima su se nadali.
useful tool to make better decisions,
korisno oruđe da bolje odlučujete,
to drive those decisions.
data is just a tool,
I find this device here quite useful.
da je ovo sredstvo ovde korisno.
device to use.
koristili u odlučivanju.
a yes or no question,
o pitanju sa da ili ne,
and then you get an answer --
i potom dobijate odgovor -
in this window in real time.
u ovom prorezu, u realnom vremenu.
so I've made some decisions in my life
doneo sam neke odluke u svom životu
da je trebalo da poslušam kuglu.
I should have just listened to the ball.
if you have the data available,
ako su vam podaci dostupni,
much more sophisticated,
daleko prefinjenijim,
to come to a better decision.
da biste doneli bolju odluku.
and smarter and smarter,
sve pametnija i pametnija,
to make the decisions
i dalje na nama,
something extraordinary,
message, in fact,
veoma ohrabrujuća poruka,
of huge amounts of data,
s ogromnom količinom podataka,
on the right end of the curve.
na desni kraj ove krive.

Why you should listen
Dr. Sebastian Wernicke is the Chief Data Scientist of ONE LOGIC, a data science boutique that supports organizations across industries to make sense of their vast data collections to improve operations and gain strategic advantages. Wernicke originally studied bioinformatics and previously led the strategy and growth of Seven Bridges Genomics, a Cambridge-based startup that builds platforms for genetic analysis.
Before his career in statistics began, Wernicke worked stints as both a paramedic and successful short animated filmmaker. He's also the author of the TEDPad app, an irreverent tool for creating an infinite number of "amazing and really bad" and mostly completely meaningless talks. He's the author of the statistically authoritative and yet completely ridiculous "How to Give the Perfect TEDTalk."
