In an interview with HEC Liege University Vietnam, he said: "How will you be able to know which data is useful and reliable in the world with so much data being generated? That's very challenging."
With over 100 published academic articles and papers, Dr. Chen has also guided his students in conducting various Big Data projects for companies, showcasing his commitment to both research and teaching.
"As you have too much data now, and not every data will be useful, you now have to learn how to clean the data. ‘Clean’ means filtering data, improving the quality of data, and making sure the data is useful.
"Once you identify data by cleaning it up and making it useful, you can process the data and generate some new data, such as a business insight to help them make decisions."
