Problems:
- Queries defined in advance - you have to know what you’re looking for
- Difficult to integrate into application infrastructure - humans watching dashboards
Solution:
- Computers are good at spotting patterns - give the humans a hand
- Mine for patterns automatically

Example: infrastructure monitoring
• Monitor metrics of web service
• Featurestream learns typical behaviours
• A disk has mechanical failure
• Featurestream alerts you that
• Latency of response has increased
• The disk has higher response times
• You can quickly identify the fault

Use cases
• Finance:
• Predicting prices/movements from prior prices and public news feeds (e.g.
Reuters, BBC news, social media)
• Finding anomalous events in trading data
• Operations/monitoring: extracting signals from syslog/splunk/click data
• Smart metering: real-time signals from smart meter data
• Marketing: real-time features from social media/news streams
