Topics include:
Successful data acquisition strategies
Data network effects
Competing with the giants
A pragmatic approach to building an AI team
Why social engineering is just as important to success as groundbreaking AI technology
This report is based on a series of interviews across the breadth of the MoD to probe the ability of the British military to cope with a growing data deluge, and identify potential applications and hurdles to their implementation.
This document discusses the rise of artificial intelligence and machine learning. It notes that IBM invested over $1 billion to establish a new business unit for Watson. It also mentions Google's acquisitions of robotics and AI companies, showing their focus on data acquisition. The document argues that AI requires ubiquitous data collection and exponentially growing computing power to continue advancing.

Because every organization produces and propagates data as part of their day-to-day operations, data trends are becoming more and more important in the mainstream business worldās consciousness. For many organizations in various industries, though, comprehension of this development begins and ends with buzzwords: āBig Data,ā āNoSQL,ā āData Scientist,ā and so on. Few realize that all solutions to their business problems, regardless of platform or relevant technology, rely to a critical extent on the data model supporting them. As such, data modeling is not an optional task for an organizationās data effort, but rather a vital activity that facilitates the solutions driving your business. Since quality engineering/architecture work products do not happen accidentally, the more your organization depends on automation, the more important the data models driving the engineering and architecture activities of your organization. This webinar illustrates data modeling as a key activity upon which so much technology and business investment depends.
Specific learning objectives include:
- Understanding what types of challenges require data modeling to be part of the solution
- How automation requires standardization on derivable via data modeling techniques
- Why only a working partnership between data and the business can produce useful outcomes
Analytics play a critical role in supporting strategic business initiatives. Despite the obvious value to analytic professionals of providing the analytics for these initiatives, many executives question the economic return of analytics as well as data lakes, machine learning, master data management, and the like.
Technology professionals need to calculate and present business value in terms business executives can understand. Unfortunately, most IT professionals lack the knowledge required to develop comprehensive cost-benefit analyses and return on investment (ROI) measurements.
This session provides a framework to help technology professionals research, measure, and present the economic value of a proposed or existing analytics initiative, no matter the form that the business benefit arises. The session will provide practical advice about how to calculate ROI and the formulas, and how to collect the necessary information.
How a Semantic Layer Makes Data Mesh Work at ScaleDATAVERSITY
Ā
Data Mesh is a trending approach to building a decentralized data architecture by leveraging a domain-oriented, self-service design. However, the pure definition of Data Mesh lacks a center of excellence or central data team and doesnāt address the need for a common approach for sharing data products across teams. The semantic layer is emerging as a key component to supporting a Hub and Spoke style of organizing data teams by introducing data model sharing, collaboration, and distributed ownership controls.
This session will explain how data teams can define common models and definitions with a semantic layer to decentralize analytics product creation using a Hub and Spoke architecture.
Attend this session to learn about:
- The role of a Data Mesh in the modern cloud architecture.
- How a semantic layer can serve as the binding agent to support decentralization.
- How to drive self service with consistency and control.
Enterprise data literacy. A worthy objective? Certainly! A realistic goal? That remains to be seen. As companies consider investing in data literacy education, questions arise about its value and purpose. While the destination ā having a data-fluent workforce ā is attractive, we wonder how (and if) we can get there. Ā Ā
Kicking off this webinar series, we begin with a panel discussion to explore the landscape of literacy, including expert positions and results from focus groups:
- why it matters,
- what it means,
- what gets in the way,
- who needs it (and how much they need),
- what companies believe it will accomplish.
In this engaging discussion about literacy, we will set the stage for future webinars to answer specific questions and feature successful literacy efforts.
The Data Trifecta ā Privacy, Security & Governance Race from Reactivity to Re...DATAVERSITY
Ā
Change is hard, especially in response to negative stimuli or what is perceived as negative stimuli. So organizations need to reframe how they think about data privacy, security and governance, treating them as value centers to 1) ensure enterprise data can flow where it needs to, 2) prevent ā not just react ā to internal and external threats, and 3) comply with data privacy and security regulations.
Working together, these roles can accelerate faster access to approved, relevant and higher quality data ā and that means more successful use cases, faster speed to insights, and better business outcomes. However, both new information and tools are required to make the shift from defense to offense, reducing data drama while increasing its value.
Join us for this panel discussion with experts in these fields as they discuss:
- Recent research about where data privacy, security and governance stand
- The most valuable enterprise data use cases
- The common obstacles to data value creation
- New approaches to data privacy, security and governance
- Their advice on how to shift from a reactive to resilient mindset/culture/organization
Youāll be educated, entertained and inspired by this panel and their expertise in using the data trifecta to innovate more often, operate more efficiently, and differentiate more strategically.

1) The document discusses best practices for data protection on Google Cloud, including setting data policies, governing access, classifying sensitive data, controlling access, encryption, secure collaboration, and incident response.
2) It provides examples of how to limit access to data and sensitive information, gain visibility into where sensitive data resides, encrypt data with customer-controlled keys, harden workloads, run workloads confidentially, collaborate securely with untrusted parties, and address cloud security incidents.
3) The key recommendations are to protect data at rest and in use through classification, access controls, encryption, confidential computing; securely share data through techniques like secure multi-party computation; and have an incident response plan to quickly address threats.
It is a fascinating, explosive time for enterprise analytics.
It is from the position of analytics leadership that the enterprise mission will be executed and company leadership will emerge. The data professional is absolutely sitting on the performance of the company in this information economy and has an obligation to demonstrate the possibilities and originate the architecture, data, and projects that will deliver analytics. After all, no matter what business youāre in, youāre in the business of analytics.
The coming years will be full of big changes in enterprise analytics and data architecture. William will kick off the fifth year of the Advanced Analytics series with a discussion of the trends winning organizations should build into their plans, expectations, vision, and awareness now.
Too often I hear the question āCan you help me with our data strategy?ā Unfortunately, for most, this is the wrong request because it focuses on the least valuable component: the data strategy itself. A more useful request is: āCan you help me apply data strategically?ā Yes, at early maturity phases the process of developing strategic thinking about data is more important than the actual product! Trying to write a good (must less perfect) data strategy on the first attempt is generally not productive āparticularly given the widespread acceptance of Mike Tysonās truism: āEverybody has a plan until they get punched in the face.ā This program refocuses efforts on learning how to iteratively improve the way data is strategically applied. This will permit data-based strategy components to keep up with agile, evolving organizational strategies. It also contributes to three primary organizational data goals.Ā Learn how to improve the following:
- Your organizationās data
- The way your people use data
- The way your people use data to achieve your organizational strategy
This will help in ways never imagined. Data are your sole non-depletable, non-degradable, durable strategic assets, and they are pervasively shared across every organizational area. Addressing existing challenges programmatically includes overcoming necessary but insufficient prerequisites and developing a disciplined, repeatable means of improving business objectives. This process (based on the theory of constraints) is where the strategic data work really occurs as organizations identify prioritized areas where better assets, literacy, and support (data strategy components) can help an organization better achieve specific strategic objectives. Then the process becomes lather, rinse, and repeat. Several complementary concepts are also covered, including:
- A cohesive argument for why data strategy is necessary for effective data governance
- An overview of prerequisites for effective strategic use of data strategy, as well as common pitfalls
- A repeatable process for identifying and removing data constraints
- The importance of balancing business operation and innovation
Who Should Own Data Governance ā IT or Business?DATAVERSITY
Ā
The question is asked all the time: āWhat part of the organization should own your Data Governance program?ā The typical answers are āthe businessā and āIT (information technology).ā Another answer to that question is āYes.ā The program must be owned and reside somewhere in the organization. You may ask yourself if there is a correct answer to the question.
Join this new RWDG webinar with Bob Seiner where Bob will answer the question that is the title of this webinar. Determining ownership of Data Governance is a vital first step. Figuring out the appropriate part of the organization to manage the program is an important second step. This webinar will help you address these questions and more.
In this session Bob will share:
- What is meant by āthe businessā when it comes to owning Data Governance
- Why some people say that Data Governance in IT is destined to fail
- Examples of IT positioned Data Governance success
- Considerations for answering the question in your organization
- The final answer to the question of who should own Data Governance
This document summarizes a research study that assessed the data management practices of 175 organizations between 2000-2006. The study had both descriptive and self-improvement goals, such as understanding the range of practices and determining areas for improvement. Researchers used a structured interview process to evaluate organizations across six data management processes based on a 5-level maturity model. The results provided insights into an organization's practices and a roadmap for enhancing data management.

Elasticity vs. State? Exploring Kafka Streams Cassandra State StoreScyllaDB
Ā
kafka-streams-cassandra-state-store' is a drop-in Kafka Streams State Store implementation that persists data to Apache Cassandra.
By moving the state to an external datastore the stateful streams app (from a deployment point of view) effectively becomes stateless. This greatly improves elasticity and allows for fluent CI/CD (rolling upgrades, security patching, pod eviction, ...).
It also can also help to reduce failure recovery and rebalancing downtimes, with demos showing sporty 100ms rebalancing downtimes for your stateful Kafka Streams application, no matter the size of the applicationās state.
As a bonus accessing Cassandra State Stores via 'Interactive Queries' (e.g. exposing via REST API) is simple and efficient since there's no need for an RPC layer proxying and fanning out requests to all instances of your streams application.

Some Highlights from Cognitive Computing Survey
ā¢ 53.4% of respondents believe that Cognitive System technologies need to provide more
clarity in terms of business perspectives.
ā¢ 16.7% of respondents either are not aware of technologies like IBMās Watson, Siri, and
Google Now or donāt find them applicable to a discussion of Cognitive Computing.
ā¢ Some of the most needed resources for eventual enterprise integration of Cognitive
Systems include better education of benefits, more case studies, easier to use tool sets,
and vendor demonstrations.
ā¢ More than a third of respondents said that they were still unclear about their organizationās
plans for Cognitive Systems implementation due to a lack of understanding about how to
present the business case.
ā¢ 26% remarked that their organizations are early adopters of emerging technologies such
as Cognitive Computing, NoSQL, and Big Data.
ā¢ Almost 60% said that one of the primary drawbacks to current integration with Cognitive
Systems is the lack of knowledge and skills among existing IT staff, especially in terms of
Data Scientists and Machine Learning experts.
ā¢ Business Intelligence/Cognitive Analytics was the top choice (81.8%) for how Cognitive
Computing can help the enterprise.

IMO the 3 key differentiators of Cognitive
Computing Solutions
( your thoughts)
1) Context driven dynamic algorithms for automating
pattern discovery and knowledge.
2) Reasons and learns instantly and incrementally to
discern context for sense-making.
3) Cognitive Systems infer, hypothesize, adapt, and
improve over time without direct programming.

Jan 30, 2014 By James Kobielus As big data analytics pushes deeper into cognitive
computing, it needs to bring the Semantic Web into the heart of this new age
Cognitive computing can't achieve its potential without a strong semantic-processing
substrate that executes across diverse content sources.
You could view cognition in the cloud as the next evolutionary plateau for the
semantic Web but this demands we have a shared understanding of the relationship
between the concepts of "cognitive computing" and "semantic computing."
James please elaborate on Cognitive computing can
take the Semantic Web to the next level

To me, a Data Scientist is someone who has business acumen,
technical skills, and who knows Machine Learning. The last point is
key. Those who do not have Machine Learning expertise are Data

ā¢ Rather than having a team of data scientists creating algorithms to understand
a particular business issue, cognitive analytics seeks to extract content,
embed it into semantic models, discover hypotheses and interpret evidence,
provide potential insightsāand then continuously improve them.
ā¢ The data scientistās job is to empower the cognitive tool, providing guidance,
coaching, feedback, and new inputs along the way. As a tool moves closer to
being able to replicate the human thought process, answers come more
promptly and with greater consistency.

1. 80 percent of what doctors do, diagnostics, will be replaced by machines
2. Medicine will become tailor-made for each patient
3. Consumer-driven tech will create better incentives to keep people healthy
4. Weāll move from disease care to actual health care thanks to pervasive monitoring
23. 23
Letās discuss Deep Learning
Deep learning is a set of algorithms that uses multi-layer neural networks that can teach
themselves to understand complex patterns, non-linear transformations, and features that
comprise the data theyāre on which theyāre trained.
Google, Facebook, Microsoft ( Project Adam ), Apple, et al embracing more powerful form of
AI known as ādeep learningā to improve everything from speech recognition and language
translation to computer vision, the ability to identify images without human help.
Google improved Androidās voice recognition and acquired DeepMind for $400 - 500M,
Microsoft created live voice translation system called Skype Translate, Baidu has invested
$300M and picked up Stanfordās Andrew Ng, and Apple is building out a team too.
ā¢ Computers recently matched humans ( correct 97.53% ) at facial recognition.
ā¢ Facebook DeepFace 97.25% required 7.4 million images for training its system,
ā¢ Chinese University of Hong Kong 99.15% accuracy with 200,000 images using a better classifier and
neural network (essentially a vast artificial brain)
With deep learning, computer scientists build software models that simulateāto a certain
extentāthe learning model of the human brain e.g. After nine years of research, Numenta
finally has apps that mimic the way the brain works (interview)

IBM recently
acquired AI
startup Cognea to
give personality
to virtual personal
assistants and to
better understand
personality of
users
Her name is Cortana. Her attitude is
almost human. http://engt.co/1nesb9H
Microsoft's decision to infuse Cortana
with a personality stemmed from one
end goal: user attachment. "We did
some research and found that people are
more likely to interact with [AI] when it
feels more human," said Susan
Hendrich, project manager in charge of
overseeing Cortana's personality
28. 28
Take āPersonalityā to another level with psychobiological simulation which
learns and interacts in real time with neuroscience models
Emotions are Data so imagine a machine that can laugh and cry, learn, dream, and express its
inner responses to how it perceives you to feel with emotional intelligence.

Neuromorphic computers and
Neurosynaptic chips
Like a brain, a neural processing unit (NPU) processes many different data
streams at the same time. The end goal is to have devices that can read
complex sensory information (like voices) at a fraction of the computational
cost of traditional chips.
This means that Siriās daughter will be able to answer your questions faster,
with less prompting, and without being as much of a drain on your battery.
These NPUs will run alongside traditional, binary CPUs, which will still be
essential for running things like operating systems and tip calculators.
Intel, IBM, Qualcomm et al have neurosynaptic chipset programs to mimic the
behavior of the human brain and will be used for machine learning and
cognitive computing systems like Watson.
Sandia Laboratories working on neuromorphic computers that mimics human
brain both in terms of parallel processing power and efficiency.

Cognitive Computing Potpourri for $100
33. 33
Cognitive Systems hypothesize, recommend, adapt to learn from
interactions then reason through dynamic experience just like humans.
But itās not about replacing humans with machines. Itās about
harnessing combined strengths of both to solve complex problems
from ever-changing factors and new information.
The āprogrammable era" of computers invariably will be transcended
by Cognitive Computing systems.
