Modern public transit systems are elaborate networks with dozens of stations and scores of trains serving thousands of passengers daily. Anyone who has ever stood on a platform waiting for the next train understands the frustration of delays. But for commuters in Stockholm, Sweden, things may be looking up. Developed by Mathematician Wilhelm Landerholm of Queue AB and Stockholm commuter train operator Stockholmståg, a new algorithm promises to forecast delays up to two hours in advance. Via a forthcoming smartphone app passengers will be able to plan their trips more accurately and seek alternate routes if serious delays are in the offing. Big Data and text analytics are all the rage in the field of law today. However, there is a dearth of precise definitions of these technologies and of the understanding of what they do. This is the void that the present article will try to fill. Text analytics – number-based Firstly, there is numbers-based text analytics. Say, I’m looking for documents about patents. Looking at each document in my set, I can count how many times the word “patent” occurs within them, if at all. The more the merrier: Documents that contain the word “patent” more often are probably more related to patents than other documents. So, by counting the number of times that “patent” is mentioned, I can group similar documents. September 10, 2015 | 11: 55 AM 7 Faculty of Economics and Business
