GDELT & BigQuery: Understand the world
The GDELT project aims to collect every relevant event in human society, and make it analyzable by anyone interested in learning from it. Hosted on Google BigQuery, it already indexes more than a quarter billion rows from the last 35 years, and grows daily with all the latest events and news. Join Google Developer Advocate Felipe Hoffa on his trip to meet Kalev Leetaru – the creator of the GDELT project, Louisa Koch – NOAA Education Director, and Amanda Traud – Data Scientist at L-3 Data Tactics. Together they’ll explore how government, academia, industry and end users can benefit from GDELT.

One question: how important it is the knowledge of coding if you want to use gdelt + BigQuery ?
damn this is so interesting but so painful to watch how uncomfortable the interviewer is
It's ability to predict is only as good as the data it collects. NOAA data is pretty accurate because it comes from scientific instruments. However, so much of the reporting in the media all around the world that has gone into this system is fraught with error and plain lies. You must have accurate, unbiased information in order to make accurate predictions. Can you say GIGO?

Awesome work Kalev! Thank you for this immensely valuable contribution to the community.
