There is certainly a growing demand for incorporating machine learning solutions into various types of business. Yet, the knowledge base is not always keeping up with hype around this subject. Some reports [source: Global CIO Point of View] tell us that 9 out of 10 CIOs plan to use machine learning solutions to achieve certain goals in their companies. Yet only around 20% actually have something in production and only 5% use machine learning extensivelly. Why? There are quite a few reasons, and that’s what this talk is all about. Arturs is a data scientist in Intrum Global Technologies, has experience in developing machine learning solutions ranging from scoring to automated self learning systems.

Presented at KDD, August 11, 2015. Abstract of the paper: Machine learning techniques have proved effective in recommender systems and other applications, yet teams working to deploy them lack many of the advantages that those in more established software disciplines today take for granted. The well-known Agile methodology advances projects in a chain of rapid development cycles, with subsequent steps often informed by production experiments. Support for such workflow in machine learning applications remains primitive. The platform developed at if(we) embodies a specific machine learning approach and a rigorous data architecture constraint, so allowing teams to work in rapid iterative cycles. We require models to consume data from a time-ordered event history, and we focus on facilitating creative feature engineering. We make it practical for data scientists to use the same model code in development and in production deployment, and make it practical for them to collaborate on complex models. We deliver real-time recommendations at scale, returning top results from among 10,000,000 candidates with sub-second response times and incorporating new updates in just a few seconds. Using the approach and architecture described here, our team can routinely go from ideas for new models to production-validated results within two weeks.

These are slides presented at MLconf in San Francisco, November 14, 2014. I share the approach to real-time machine learning for recommender systems developed at if(we). We achieve rapid iterative cycles by adhering to a strict approach to structuring and accessing our data, as well as to building the online features that comprise our models. These developments support teams of data scientist and data engineers, who work together to solve complex recommendation problems. We also introduce the Antelope Realtime Events framework, an open source demonstration application which derives from our scalable proprietary software stack.

This talk was given at H2O World 2018 NYC and can be viewed here: https://youtu.be/oxLZZMR1lVY Description: Driverless AI is H2O.ai's latest flagship product for automatic machine learning. It fully automates some of the most challenging and productive tasks in applied data science such as feature engineering, model tuning, model ensembling and model deployment. Driverless AI turns Kaggle-winning grandmaster recipes into production-ready code, and is specifically designed to avoid common mistakes such as under- or overfitting, data leakage or improper model validation, some of the hardest challenges in data science. Avoiding these pitfalls alone can save weeks or more for each model, and is necessary to achieve high modeling accuracy, especially for time-series problems. With Driverless AI, data scientists of all proficiency levels can train and deploy modeling pipelines with just a few clicks from the GUI. Advanced users can use the client API from Python. Driverless AI builds hundreds or thousands of models under the hood to select the best feature engineering and modeling pipeline for every specific problem such as churn prediction, fraud detection, real-estate pricing, store sales prediction, marketing ad campaigns and many more. To speed up training, Driverless AI uses highly optimized C++/CUDA algorithms to take full advantage of the latest compute hardware. For example, Driverless AI runs orders of magnitudes faster on the latest Nvidia GPU supercomputers on Intel and IBM platforms, both in the cloud or on premise. Driverless AI is fully supported on all major cloud providers. There are two more product innovations in Driverless AI: statistically rigorous automatic data visualization and machine learning interpretability with reason codes and explanations in plain English. Both help data scientists and analysts to quickly validate the data and the models. In this talk, we explain how Driverless AI works and show how easy it is to reach top 5% rankings for several highly competitive Kaggle competitions. (edited) Speaker's Bio: Arno Candel is the Chief Technology Officer at H2O.ai.

HP ships millions of PCs, printers and other devices every year to customers in all market segments. Many of these systems have had various generations of data collection and reporting, going back as many as 16 years. That has led to a significant sprawl of custom data formats, specialized code and numerous brittle legacy systems collecting, analyzing and reporting data. This session will focus on samples of HP’s journey to find, catalog and ultimately eliminate these systems by migrating to Apache Spark with Databricks in the cloud. Hear about HP’s challenges dealing with legacy systems (some even located under engineers desks) and how the power of AWS, Spark, and visualization tools has significantly simplified their migrations. You’ll also learn how the success of this endeavor is not just in counting the number of systems deprecated, but also how the process is evolving into building companywide shared Spark libraries, notebooks and web services that are accelerating future migrations and analysis using Spark.

At Netflix, we've spent a lot of time thinking about how we can make our analytics group move quickly. Netflix's Data Engineering & Analytics organization embraces the company's culture of "Freedom & Responsibility". How does a company with a $40 billion market cap and $6 billion in annual revenue keep their data teams moving with the agility of a tiny company? How do hundreds of data engineers and scientists make the best decisions for their projects independently, without the analytics environment devolving into chaos? We'll talk about how Netflix equips its business intelligence and data engineers with: the freedom to leverage cloud-based data tools - Spark, Presto, Redshift, Tableau and others - in ways that solve our most difficult data problems the freedom to find and introduce right software for the job - even if it isn't used anywhere else in-house the freedom to create and drop new tables in production without approval the freedom to choose when a question is a one-off, and when a question is asked often enough to require a self-service tool the freedom to retire analytics and data processes whose value doesn't justify their support costs

Building a data lake involves more than installing Hadoop or putting data into AWS. The goal in most organizations is to build multi-use data infrastructure that is not subject to past constraints. This tutorial covers design assumptions, design principles, and how to approach the architecture and planning for multi-use data infrastructure in IT. Long: The goal in most organizations is to build multi-use data infrastructure that is not subject to past constraints. This session will discuss hidden design assumptions, review design principles to apply when building multi-use data infrastructure, and provide a reference architecture to use as you work to unify your analytics infrastructure. The focus in our market has been on acquiring technology, and that ignores the more important part: the larger IT landscape within which this technology lives and the data architecture that lies at its core. If one expects longevity from a platform then it should be a designed rather than accidental architecture. Architecture is more than just software. It starts from use and includes the data, technology, methods of building and maintaining, and organization of people. What are the design principles that lead to good design and a functional data architecture? What are the assumptions that limit older approaches? How can one integrate with, migrate from or modernize an existing data environment? How will this affect an organization's data management practices? This tutorial will help you answer these questions. Topics covered: * A brief history of data infrastructure and past design assumptions * Categories of data and data use in organizations * Data architecture * Functional architecture * Technology planning assumptions and guidance

Many data scientists are well grounded in creating accomplishment in the enterprise, but many come from outside – from academia, from PhD programs and research. They have the necessary technical skills, but it doesn’t count until their product gets to production and in use. The speaker recently helped a struggling data scientist understand his organization and how to create success in it. That turned into this presentation, because many new data scientists struggle with the complexities of an enterprise.

Change is inevitable. So is legacy. And too often, we as developers (who love to solve problems by coding) fall into the trap of believing the only way to fix it is by rewriting everything again and again. But how can we design an application architecture that is more resilient to change in the first place? How can we defend against entropy in a system where people are pushing changes every day? In this talk we’ll define what architecture means for the frontend, dispel some commonly-held myths, and look at specific tools and techniques on a scale from micro to macro that you can use today to keep your app from turning into that infamous ball of mud.

This talk will cover the whole UX development process and many choices that we as a team did, to get where we are now. When you think about frontend, it’s not just a developers who writes Javascript. If you want to make it right, you need UX researchers, UX designers, UI designers, Visual Designers, Technical writers and, of course, UX developers. I would like to talk about each roll in short and how they help and why you should have all of them to achieve best results. After that I want to go into more technical details on why EmberJs (its not so trendy, right?). How we work with ES6 and why we see future in Typescript. I will structure a talk in terms of a “technical challenge – pros/cons – why we’ve chose A and not B”. For example: We have 16 applications internal and external. Why we have them separate and not a single app. We had ~8-10 internal packages and we’ve merged them into 2. Why we’ve did that and why benefits out-weighted cons? Also, from the talk point, I want to start with a real Cybersecurity case and how how it gets solved

Redux is one of the most popular technologies for the management of shared state across entire React applications, which can be complemented by Redux Observable to describe asynchronous side effects with RxJS. This approach, however, adds cognitive load when balancing the varying concepts across these three libraries. What if we could use RxJS exclusively for managing state in our React apps? This talk will demonstrate this possibility and the benefits it provides.
