Accelerating Discovery - Scott Spangler - Bog

This book describes a novel approach to scientific research that uses unstructured data analysis as a generative tool for new hypotheses. The author develops a systematic process for leveraging heterogeneous structured and unstructured data sources, data mining, and computational architectures to make the discovery process faster and more effective. This process accelerates human creativity by allowing scientists and inventors to more readily analyze and comprehend the space of possibilities, compare alternatives, and discover entirely new approaches.
