The document discusses the challenges publishers face being dependent on advertising revenue from large platforms. It suggests ways publishers can gain advantages through better understanding their audience and leveraging social media data. Specifically, it proposes building a knowledge graph to track sharing interactions, observe user behavior, and potentially predict viral content. This could allow targeting campaigns more efficiently and gaining insights into community structures.
Multilevel Regression and Post-stratification (MRP) for Brand Tracking: PyCon...Latana
This is the presentation made at PyConDE & PyData Berlin 2019 by Korbinian Kuusisto, Data Scientist at Latana. The presentation covers why Latana used multilevel regression and post-stratification (MRP) to create thousands of audience segmentations, a brand tracking software. While Latana’s MVP was built using simple logistic regression, the team decided to switch to a more complex Bayesian framework and created a self-learning model that can build on past knowledge for niche audiences.

AMES 2016 - The Human Side of AnalyticsStephen Tracy
Last year the global analytics industry was estimated to be worth $125 billion in hardware, software and services revenue. Consequently the market has been flooded with more tools, platforms and tech than you can shake a calculator at. When it comes to data, the core challenge many businesses face today seems to have less to do with analytics technology and infrastructure and more to do with finding the right people, talent and skills. In this presentation Stephen will share 10 lessons for building a successful analytics program through a ‘people-first’ strategy.

You'd like to be more rational and data-driven in your decision making. You know that your museum has been collecting web traffic metrics using Google Analytics, but you've never fully understood what those reports mean for you or your department. How can you use this popular software to find actionable data that helps you do your job better? In this session you will get a practical tutorial, led by two Google Analytics veterans at the Smithsonian, who will provide an overview of the current Google Analytics, including some of its newest, most powerful features. The presenters will also discuss the step-by-step process for moving beyond measurement just for measurement's sake, using real-life museum case studies as examples.

Techniques to optimize the pagerank algorithm usually fall in two categories. One is to try reducing the work per iteration, and the other is to try reducing the number of iterations. These goals are often at odds with one another. Skipping computation on vertices which have already converged has the potential to save iteration time. Skipping in-identical vertices, with the same in-links, helps reduce duplicate computations and thus could help reduce iteration time. Road networks often have chains which can be short-circuited before pagerank computation to improve performance. Final ranks of chain nodes can be easily calculated. This could reduce both the iteration time, and the number of iterations. If a graph has no dangling nodes, pagerank of each strongly connected component can be computed in topological order. This could help reduce the iteration time, no. of iterations, and also enable multi-iteration concurrency in pagerank computation. The combination of all of the above methods is the STICD algorithm. [sticd] For dynamic graphs, unchanged components whose ranks are unaffected can be skipped altogether.
As Europe's leading economic powerhouse and the fourth-largest hashtag#economy globally, Germany stands at the forefront of innovation and industrial might. Renowned for its precision engineering and high-tech sectors, Germany's economic structure is heavily supported by a robust service industry, accounting for approximately 68% of its GDP. This economic clout and strategic geopolitical stance position Germany as a focal point in the global cyber threat landscape.
In the face of escalating global tensions, particularly those emanating from geopolitical disputes with nations like hashtag#Russia and hashtag#China, hashtag#Germany has witnessed a significant uptick in targeted cyber operations. Our analysis indicates a marked increase in hashtag#cyberattack sophistication aimed at critical infrastructure and key industrial sectors. These attacks range from ransomware campaigns to hashtag#AdvancedPersistentThreats (hashtag#APTs), threatening national security and business integrity.
🔑 Key findings include:
🔍 Increased frequency and complexity of cyber threats.
🔍 Escalation of state-sponsored and criminally motivated cyber operations.
🔍 Active dark web exchanges of malicious tools and tactics.
Our comprehensive report delves into these challenges, using a blend of open-source and proprietary data collection techniques. By monitoring activity on critical networks and analyzing attack patterns, our team provides a detailed overview of the threats facing German entities.
This report aims to equip stakeholders across public and private sectors with the knowledge to enhance their defensive strategies, reduce exposure to cyber risks, and reinforce Germany's resilience against cyber threats.

“We are but barnacles living off the back of a massive ad whale…”
10. There’s actually a non-trivial symbiosis here
Instead of obligate commensalism…
11. It’s an asymmetric relationship, to be sure, but
publishers provide the ‘real estate’ over which
these big whales make their revenue. And we
make their platforms sticky.
Publishers
12. • Like barnacles there’s a lot of competition for space
• The terms of that competition are dictated by black-box algorithms
• They get to keep all that good data
Not all smooth sailing on the back of the whale

14. Hopeless…?
How do we gain an advantage?
Can we predict our way to a competitive edge?
16. Marketing ApproachIlluminating the structure of social diffusion

In this case 40 sharers generate a cascade bringing in 2886 views - a 70x efficiency!
17. Next Steps!
Knowledge Graph
• Tracks intra-Mashable network of share
interactions
• Anonymously tracks browsing behavior and
usage attributes
• Allows us to observe and perhaps predict
cross network sharing events
19. Social cascades are fascinating…can we get a deeper view?
What can one do with this sort of
data?
20. Marketing ApproachArriving at a phenomenological model
The above is a cascade generated from a simulation with simple update rules.
It bears a strong resemblance to what we actually see in our share button experiment.
In fact, it turns out that a simple model of leave growth/viewer rate yields a model of share behavior with
predictive power!

● Discovered right as it was

● Over 3,000 data points

● Several points where story

● Early projections very

2) Segment your audience by graph properties

Through these sorts of properties:
• We’re able to identify community structure by

• Make branded content campaigns

Publishers are heavily challenged
but
• It’s possible to carve out a data advantage
• Turn it into a predictive analytic capability
• And even a bit of competitive analysis
