We discuss how latent variable models are useful to deal with the complexities of big data from different perspectives: simplification of data structure; flexible representation of dependence between variables; reduction of selection bias. Problems involved in parameter estimation are also discussed.

Abstract
We discuss how latent variable models are useful to deal with the complexities of big data from different perspectives: simplification of data structure; flexible representation of dependence between variables; reduction of selection bias. Problems involved in parameter estimation are also discussed.
