have probably never heard about,
még nem hallottatok Roy Price-ről,
minutes of your life on April 19, 2013.
2013. április 19-én.
for 22 very entertaining minutes,
22 nagyon szórakoztató percért
about three years ago.
kellett meghoznia.
is a senior executive with Amazon Studios.
az Amazon Studios-nál.
company of Amazon.
as "movies, TV, technology, tacos."
"filmek, tv, technológia, taco."
because it's his responsibility
munkája van, mert az ő felelőssége
that Amazon is going to make.
tartalmat, amit az Amazon elkészít.
a highly competitive space.
TV shows already out there,
nagyon sok tv show létezik,
that are really, really great.
a nagyon, nagyon jó show-kat.
azokat a show-kat,
of this curve here.
a jó végén vannak.
is the rating distribution
on the website IMDB,
az IMDB weboldalán
how many shows get that rating.
kapja az adott osztályzatot.
of nine points or higher, that's a winner.
az nyerő.
"Game of Thrones," "The Wire,"
a "Trónok harca", vagy a "A drót".
your brain is basically like,
felvetik a kérdést:
here on that end,
"Toddlers and Tiaras" --
on that end of the curve.
getting on the left end of the curve,
hogy a görbe bal felére kerül,
some serious brainpower
hogy rosszabbat csináljon
is this middle bulge here,
that aren't really good or really bad,
jók vagy rosszak,
that he's really on the right end of this.
hogy ennek a jó oldalán legyen.
doing something like this,
to take any chances.
semmit sem akar kockáztatni.
he holds a competition.
through an evaluation,
of each one of these shows
készíti el,
for everyone to watch.
ahol mindenki megnézheti.
is giving out free stuff,
are watching those episodes.
ezeket az epizódokat.
while they're watching their shows,
hogy a show nézése közben
by Roy Price and his team,
when somebody presses pause,
szünetel egy videót,
what parts they watch again.
mely részeket néznek újra.
to have those data points
which show they should make.
melyik show-t rendeljék be.
so they collect all the data,
and an answer emerges,
about four Republican US Senators."
4 republikánus amerikai szenátorról."
remember that show, actually,
igazából nem sokan emlékeztek rá,
the average of this curve here is at 7.4,
7,4 körül van,
értékelték,
and his team were aiming for.
egyáltalán nem ez volt.
at about the same time,
to land a top show using data analysis,
gyártott adatelemzés segítségével,
the Chief Content Officer of Netflix,
a Netflix tartalmakért felelős nagyfőnöke.
he's on a constant mission
a little bit differently.
what he did -- and his team of course --
sorozatokat,
they already had about Netflix viewers,
a Netflix már létező adatait a nézőkről.
they give their shows,
what shows people like, and so on.
mely show-kat kedvelik stb.
about the audience:
megtudjanak a közönségről:
what kind of actors.
milyen színészeket.
all of these pieces together,
of course, nailed it with that show,
bejött a Netflixnek,
a 9.1 rating on this curve,
kapott ezen a görbén,
where they wanted it to be.
what happened here?
data-savvy companies.
adatmániás cég.
millions of data points,
beautifully for one of them,
that this should be working all the time.
millions of data points
to make a pretty good decision.
lehetne következtetni.
of statistics to rely on.
with very powerful computers.
is good TV, right?
az a jó tv, nem igaz?
does not work that way,
nem így működik,
where we're turning to data more and more
egyre többször fordulunk az adatokhoz,
that go far beyond TV.
döntéseket hozzunk.
Multi-Health Systems?
a Multi-Health Systems céget?
is a software company,
with that software,
nem kell használnia a szoftverüket.
it means you're in prison.
and they apply for parole,
és feltételest kérvényez,
data analysis software from that company
whether to grant that parole.
as Amazon and Netflix,
mint az Amazonnál és a Netflixnél,
a TV show is going to be good or bad,
hogy jó, vagy rossz-e,
is going to be good or bad.
hogy egy ember jó, vagy rossz-e.
that can be pretty bad,
is elég rossz lehet,
I guess, even worse.
szerintem még rosszabb.
some evidence that this data analysis,
hogy ez az adatelemzés
does not always produce optimum results.
zárul optimális eredményekkel.
like Multi-Health Systems
és hasonló cégek
companies get it wrong.
is elrontják.
that they were able, with data analysis,
hogy adatelemzéssel
the nasty kind of flu,
az influenzajárvány kitöréseit,
on their Google searches.
and it made a big splash in the news,
nagy visszhangja volt a hírekben,
of scientific success:
a tudományos siker tetőpontján,
for year after year after year,
from the journal "Nature."
Amazon and Google,
az Amazon és a Google is
into real-life decision-making --
be az igazi döntéshozatalba
that data is helping.
hogy az adatok segítenek.
a lot of this struggle with data myself,
megéltem adatokkal,
where lots of very smart people
to make pretty serious decisions
fontos döntések meghozatalára,
or developing a drug.
új gyógyszereket érintő kérdésekben.
I've noticed a sort of pattern
about the difference
decision-making with data
történő sikeres és sikertelen
and it goes something like this.
érdemes megosztanom ezt a mintát.
solving a complex problem,
nézünk szembe,
apart into its bits and pieces
those bits and pieces,
behatóan elemezzük.
you do the second part.
back together again
have to do it over again,
back together again.
no matter how powerful,
mindegy, milyen jó,
and understanding its pieces.
és a darabok megértésében segíthet.
back together again
a darabok újbóli összerakására,
and we all have it,
amivel mindenki rendelkezik.
back together again,
that Netflix was so successful,
where they belong in the process.
és az agyat, ahol szükséges.
lots of pieces about their audience
megtudjanak sok mindent a közönségről,
been able to understand at that depth,
olyan mélyen megérteni,
to take all these bits and pieces
and make a show like "House of Cards,"
mint a "Kártyavár",
made that decision to license that show,
a sorozat berendeléséről,
that they were taking
with that decision.
they did it the wrong way around.
to drive their decision-making,
a döntéshozatalban.
their competition of TV ideas,
az ötleteket,
to make as a show.
az "Alpha House"-t.
a very safe decision for them,
volt számukra,
point at the data, saying,
mondván, hogy
results that they were hoping for.
kiugró eredményeket.
useful tool to make better decisions,
eszköz a jobb döntéshozatalban,
to drive those decisions.
meghatározni a döntéseket.
data is just a tool,
az adat csak eszköz.
I find this device here quite useful.
hogy ezt ne felejtsük el.
device to use.
döntéshozatalra.
a yes or no question,
and then you get an answer --
és választ kapsz rá:
in this window in real time.
olvasható rajta máris.
so I've made some decisions in my life
I should have just listened to the ball.
hallgatnom.
if you have the data available,
elérhető háttérinformáció,
much more sophisticated,
is használnánk,
to come to a better decision.
hogy jobb döntést hozzunk.
and smarter and smarter,
to make the decisions
something extraordinary,
message, in fact,
of huge amounts of data,
on the right end of the curve.
a görbe jó oldalára.
