LHC data = EPIC
This is one of those few moments when saying Big Data is actually a well-used term.

There's a really great episode of Linear Digressions[0] (a Data Science podcast) that goes into the different scales of data that exist in the world. Everyone thinks of Google and Facebook as Big Data, but the Australian Square Kilometer Array Pathfinder collects 7.5B TB of data per second!

Check out slides 21 and 22 from [1]. There are parts that will process 4 PB/s (!)

I had two research projects on finding low quality - deleted and closed - questions on Stack Overflow [0, 1]. Since, these question classes always suffered from imbalanced class problems (2% closed and 8% deleted) - I decoded to under sampling of the majority class. Later, I used an ensemble - Gradient Decision Boosting Tree, Random Forrest - for classification. However, rather than taking bootstrap samples - I took various random samples from the majority class (equivalent to the minority class) and built many ensemble classifiers for each random sample. In the end, I checked the variation on the final classification results. It just seemed intuitive to me. I had no idea about Wallace et al.!

And it's going to end up quite a bit more than that. Check out slides 21 and 22 from [1]. There are parts that will process 4 PB/s (!) [1] http://www.slideshare.net/SparkSummit/distributed-data-proce...
