2014年大數據行業最頂尖的人才有哪些？《財富》選出20位明星

????ShareThis數據科學副總裁曲艷

????很多人可能很難相信，曲艷（音譯）的工作影響了95%的美國讀者。曲艷在社交網站公司ShareThis開發了一個叫做“社交質量指數”（Social Quality Index）的指標，可以衡量圍繞一定網絡內容的社交活動，并幫助廣告主和出版商鎖定目標群體。曲艷表示：“技術方面并不難，難的是怎樣發現一個商業問題，然后把技術應用上去。”曲艷在卡耐基梅隆大學（Carnegie Mellon University）獲得了自然語言處理專業博士學位。在進入ShareThis工作前，她還曾領導過美國在線（AOL）的Advertising.com的Advance Research研究團隊。現在，她很喜歡迎接移動電話帶來的挑戰，而且手機也不允許網站植入cookies來確認重復訪客。這些都需要曲艷收集更多的數據。——Shalene Gupta

????Yan Qu, Vice President of Data Science, ShareThis

????It may be hard to believe, but Yan Qu’s work impacts 95% of American readers. At the social web company ShareThis, she developed a Social Quality Index that measures the social activity around online content and helps advertisers and publishers target the right audiences. “The technical side isn’t hard,” she says. “What’s hard is identifying a business problem to apply the technical side to.” Qu is a graduate of Carnegie Mellon University, where she received her doctorate in natural language processing. Before ShareThis, she led the Advance Research team at AOL’s Advertising.com. Today, she's excited about tackling challenges presented by mobile phones, which don’t allow sites to plant cookies to identify repeat visitors. It's all part of an effort to collect—you guessed it—more data. —Shalene Gupta
