Very rarely does a single observation (piece of data) contain sufficient evidence to make a fine-grained prediction about opportunity or risk.  Organizations attempting to make the most out of what they know must first be able to see how observations relate to other observations.  Much like the difference between a lone puzzle piece vs. a picture of connected puzzle pieces – this big picture is essential to better business decisions.  More data, in context, makes it possible to lower false positives and false negatives at the same time.  While these techniques are useful in marketing and next best action systems, more importantly these techniques are essential in the discovery of skilled criminals. In this presentation, applications of context computing will be discussed.
