<span style="font-family:"Arial Narrow",sans-serif">The advent of the Internet, social media, distributed databases, and mobile technologies has led to an exponential growth in data, both structured and unstructured. This diverse data holds substantial business
value, encompassing customer information and interactions, superstore and online transactions, competitive intelligence, labor market insights, and development trends across various industries to name a few. Real-time data from sources like Twitter, Reddit,
and Facebook adds an additional layer of complexity, requiring instant processing using Artificial Intelligence (AI), Big Data (BD), machine learning, data streaming technologies, and visual analytics.
