Would you please to help me choosing "Research Project" in field of Big Data that is useful for Telecom Industry; such as Business Intelligence?
Think BI & big data analytics already applied in Telco - they also called it Telecom Analytics especially deployed to collect some intelligence from BSS & OSS components to improve decision making, business performance, cross / up-sell, system & service quality improvement etc. E.g. you can refer to this link for some info.
One area you might want to consider is - research on how Telco / ISP / Cloud Service Providers can use Big Data Analytics to provide special / unique offerings or charge their IaaS, PaaS & SaaS different pricing based on users' usage pattern, unused non-peak period (to avoid wastage) etc.
Some topics that come to my mind for Big Data research fields are:
1. Improving techniques of Data Analytics
Gather the Data, filter them on certain constrains and make use of them to make confident decisions.
2. Natural Language processing methods
Make use of NL - processing techniques to find out sentimental trends that can be used in business, politics, finance etc.
3. Big Data Deployment tools and methods
Conventional tools are not efficient enough to handle Big Data, a good research is needed in this field.
4. Improved Data mining techniques
Data mining is a technique to collect data from various platforms. Improved distribution crawling techniques and algorithms are needed to extract the data from various platforms.
5. Data Visualisation algorithms
In order to visualise the required information from the pool of data, powerful algorithms are crucial for accuracy of results.
