Visualizing Data in Elasticsearch DevFest DC 2016David Erickson
Elasticsearch indexes can be used for search, analytics, and visualization. Inverted indexes excel at search and analytics by indexing documents and terms which allows for fast retrieval of documents matching queries and analysis of term frequencies. Columnar indexes in Elasticsearch allow for real-time analytics across structured and unstructured data like histograms of term usage over time by storing metadata like document IDs and timestamps with the index. These capabilities make Elasticsearch well-suited for visualization and analytics in distributed, cloud-based environments.
The document summarizes Second Genome's Helios2 platform for discovering drugs and biomarkers from microbiome data. It describes how the platform collects clinical microbiome data and conducts multi-omics analysis to find bacterial biomarkers. It then uses these biomarkers to select bacterial polypeptide therapeutic candidates and test them in disease models. The key technology underpinning the platform is a Neo4j graph database called SGKnowledgeBase that organizes omics data and clinical metadata for systematic mining. Future work aims to integrate additional biomedical data layers and network analysis features to further accelerate discovery.

From Vaccine Management to ICU Planning: How CRISP Unlocked the Power of Data...Databricks
Chesapeake Regional Information System for our Patients (CRISP) is a nonprofit healthcare information exchange (HIE) whose customers include states like Maryland and healthcare providers such as Johns Hopkins. CRISP’s work supports the local healthcare community by securely sharing the kind of data that facilitates care and improves health outcomes.
When the pandemic started, the Maryland Department of Health reached out to CRISP with a request: Get us the demographic data we need to track COVID-19 and proactively support our communities. As a result, CRISP employees spent long hours attempting to handle multiple data sources with complex data enrichment processes. To automate these requests, CRISP partnered with Slalom to build a data platform powered by Databricks and Delta Lake.
Using the power of the Databricks Lakehouse platform and the flexibility of Delta Lake, Slalom helped CRISP provide the Maryland Department of Health with near real-time reporting of key COVID-19 measures. With this information, Maryland has been able to track the path of the pandemic, target the locations of new testing sites, and ultimately improve access for vulnerable communities.
The work did not stop there—once CRISP’s customers saw the value of the platform, more requests starting coming in. Now, nearly one year since the platform was created, CRISP has processed billons of records from hundreds of data sources in an effort to combat the pandemic. Notable outcomes from the work include hourly contact tracing with data already cross-referenced for individual risk factors, automated reporting on COVID-19 hospitalizations, real-time ICU capacity reporting for EMTs, tracking of COVID-19 patterns in student populations, tracking of the vaccination campaign, connecting Maryland MCOs to vulnerable people who need to be prioritized for the vaccine, and analysis of the impact of COVID-19 on pregnancies.
Just the sketch: advanced streaming analytics in Apache MetronDataWorks Summit
Doing advanced analytics in streaming architectures presents unique challenges around the tradeoff of having more context vs. performance. Typically performance and scalability requirements mandate that each message in a stream be operated on without the context of other messages in the stream that may have come before. In this talk, we will talk about using sketching algorithms to engineering a compromise which allows us to consider historical state without compromising scalability.
What we found analyzing the capabilities of many similar SIEMs and cybersecurity platforms is that a good portion of the advanced anaytics boil down to either simple rules enriched with the ability to do statistical baselining, set existence, and set cardinality computations. These operations are necessarily difficult to do in-stream, so often they're done after the fact. We look at ways to open up these analytics to stream computation without sacrificing scalability.
Specifically, we will introduce the infrastructure built for Apache Metron to perform these kinds of tasks. We will cover the novel integration between an Apache Storm and Apache Hbase and orchestrated by a custom domain specific language called Stellar to take all the sting out of constructing sketches and using them to accomplish simple and more advanced analytics such as statistical outlier analysis in stream.

Science Services and Science Platforms: Using the Cloud to Accelerate and Dem...Ian Foster
Ever more data- and compute-intensive science makes computing increasingly important for research. But for advanced computing infrastructure to benefit more than the scientific 1%, we need new delivery methods that slash access costs, new sustainability models beyond direct research funding, and new platform capabilities to accelerate the development of new, interoperable tools and services.
The Globus team has been working towards these goals since 2010. We have developed software-as-a-service methods that move complex and time-consuming research IT tasks out of the lab and into the cloud, thus greatly reducing the expertise and resources required to use them. We have demonstrated a subscription-based funding model that engages research institutions in supporting service operations. And we are now also showing how the platform services that underpin Globus applications can accelerate the development and use of an integrated ecosystem of advanced science applications, such as NCAR’s Research Data Archive and OSG Connect, thus enabling access to powerful data and compute resources by many more people than is possible today.
In this talk, I introduce Globus services and the underlying Globus platform. I present representative applications and discuss opportunities that this platform presents for both small science and large facilities.
This a talk that I gave at BioIT World West on March 12, 2019. The talk was called: A Gen3 Perspective of Disparate Data:From Pipelines in Data Commons to AI in Data Ecosystems.
Crossing the Analytics Chasm and Getting the Models You Developed DeployedRobert Grossman
There are two cultures in data science and analytics - those that develop analytic models and those that deploy analytic models into operational systems. In this talk, we review the life cycle of analytic models and provide an overview of some of the approaches that have been developed for managing analytic models and workflows and for deploying them, including using analytic engines and analytic containers . We give a quick overview of languages for analytic models (PMML) and analytic workflows (PFA). We also describe the emerging discipline of AnalyticOps that has borrowed some of the techniques of DevOps.

Streamlined data sharing and analysis to accelerate cancer researchIan Foster
Advances in genomics and data analytics create new opportunities for cancer research and personalized medical treatment via large-scale federation of genomic, clinical, imaging and other data from many thousands of patients across institutions around the world. Despite these opportunities and promising early results, cancer research is often stymied by information technology barriers. One major barrier is a lack of tools for the reliable, secure, rapid, and easy transfer, sharing, and management of large collections of human data. In the absence of such tools, security and performance concerns often prevent sharing altogether or force researchers to resort to slow and error prone shipping of physical media. If data are received, timely analysis is further impeded by the difficulties inherent in verifying data integrity and managing who can access data and for what purpose. I will discuss how the mature Globus data management platform addresses these obstacles to discovery and explain how its intuitive, web-based interfaces enable use by researchers without specialized IT knowledge. I also describe how Globus technologies can be extended to meet the security requirements of human data so as to enable use in data-intensive cancer research.

"Connecting Cyberinfrastructure Back To The Laptop"
Science Gateways today are generally built to provide a web-accessible interface for a particular scientific community to access a combination of software, hardware, and data deployed in an expertly managed computing center. But what happens when the scientist wants to repatriate their data? Or perform some analysis that is not supported by the gateway? Both for the purposes of encouraging innovative workflows and serving an audience with a wide range of computational experience it is important to consider how a gateway can fit into the broader computational ecosystem of a particular researcher or research group. One simple starting point for this is to ask the question "how can the gateway connect back to the laptop?". This talk will consider how this is being done today in science gateways and present some ideas for how this could be expanded in the future.
Leading organizations today all have data scientists and analytics teams. A key challenge is establishing cross-functional teams that can collaboratively derive insights from data and move exploratory interactive analytics into automated production systems. Boston Consulting Group, founded on quantitative decision making, guides global F500 companies in the technical and organizational structures that will provide a foundation for agility, innovation, and competitive advantage. This talk will outline key strategies for building effective cloud-native analytics teams.

How Data Commons are Changing the Way that Large Datasets Are Analyzed and Sh...Robert Grossman
Data commons are emerging as a solution to challenges in analyzing and sharing large biomedical datasets. A data commons co-locates data with cloud computing infrastructure and software tools to create an interoperable resource for the research community. Examples include the NCI Genomic Data Commons and the Open Commons Consortium. The open source Gen3 platform supports building disease- or project-specific data commons to facilitate open data sharing while protecting patient privacy. Developing interoperable data commons can accelerate research through increased access to data.
Apache Accumulo, originally developed by the National Security Agency and now an Apache Software Foundation project, builds upon Google's Bigtable design to provide a scalable, lightly-structured database capability complementing the ubiquitous Hadoop environment. The core capabilities of Accumulo include cell-level security, flexible schemas, real-time analytics, bulk I/O, and linear scalability beyond trillions of entries and petabytes of data. These new capabilities lead to techniques that unlock the power of Big Data, but don't fit into traditional database design patterns. Learn about the advantages of Apache Accumulo and how it fits into the Hadoop and NoSQL ecosystem.

It provides an example of how deep learning can be used to detect anomalies in user and entity behaviors to identify security threats like data exfiltration and malware infections. The document outlines how behavioral data from different sources can be encoded and analyzed using techniques like convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and recurrent neural networks (RNNs) to learn normal behavior patterns and detect anomalies. It also discusses how a UEBA solution combines machine learning models with local context and continuous feedback to improve detection of new threats.
Beyond Kerberos and Ranger - Tips to discover, track and manage risks in hybr...DataWorks Summit
Even after deploying traditional security measures like authentication and authorization to secure sensitive data, data owners and security teams are still struggling to manage and get visibility on risks with data. The same challenge multiplies when data is moving and shared across different data silos such as on-premise Hadoop, public cloud infrastructures such as AWS, Azure and Google Cloud. To control the risks that come with data, enterprises need a comprehensive data-centric approach to easily identify risks, manage security and compliance policies and implement behavior analytics to differentiate between good and bad behavior. This talk will explain a 3 step process of implementing data-centric controls for your hybrid environment including discovering where sensitive data is stored, tracking where data is moving and can easily identifying and controlling potential misuse of the data in near real time.
This document provides an overview of the Open Grid Computing Environments (OGCE) project, including portals, services, workflows, gadgets, and tags they develop.

Market cannibalization occurs when a company's new product reduces sales of its existing products by appealing to the same customer base. In the Indian retail market, opening new stores risks cannibalizing existing store sales if customers switch to the new location. However, research on a U.S. fast food chain found that cannibalization effects were small, accounting for only 4-9% of new store sales. While potentially negative, some degree of cannibalization may be an acceptable risk if it helps a company grow its overall market and better meet customer demands.

The document discusses techniques for optimizing PostgreSQL queries, including:
1. Using index only scans to efficiently skip large offsets in queries instead of scanning all rows.
2. Pulling the LIMIT clause under joins and aggregates to avoid processing unnecessary rows.
3. Employing indexes creatively to perform DISTINCT operations by scanning the index instead of the entire table.
4. Optimizing DISTINCT ON queries by looping through authors and returning the latest row for each instead of a full sort.
This document summarizes key concepts in managerial economics including:
- Cardinal utility which assumes utility can be quantitatively measured in utils. Total utility is the sum of utility from consuming different units of a good.
- Limitations of the cardinal utility approach include utility being subjective and non-additive.
- Ordinal utility which ranks preferences rather than attaching quantitative measurements.
- The law of demand which states that as price increases, quantity demanded decreases, assuming other factors remain unchanged.
- Demand schedules and demand curves which graphically depict the relationship between price and quantity demanded.

This document appears to be a collection of trivia questions about various topics including fears, companies, universities, sports, automobile slogans, aircraft carriers, museums, brands, geographic locations, satellites, observances, helplines, and acquisitions. The questions cover subjects such as the fear of beautiful women, the slogan of Apple, the world's largest university, the location of the Black Forest, India's first experimental remote sensing satellite, immunization day observances, and a European brand acquisition by PSA.
Capacity planning is the process of determining the production capacity needed by an organization to meet changing demands. It involves assessing existing capacity, forecasting future needs, identifying options to modify capacity, evaluating financial and technological alternatives, and selecting the most suitable option. Capacity planning can be classified as long term or short term based on time horizon and finite or infinite based on resources employed. Long term planning accommodates major changes like new products or facilities while short term addresses intermediate fluctuations through overtime or subcontracting.

How I Learnt to Stop Worrying and Love my Agile TeamDipesh Pala
As we reflect back on our numerous struggles with making Agile Teams more efficient and operate like well-oiled machines, we are often overwhelmed with wondering how we didn’t learn the lessons faster or earlier. Life is too short to learn from just our own mistakes – we have to learn from others’ mistakes as well.
In this session, Dipesh will be drawing upon more than a decade of Agile experiences in multiple organizations across nine countries to share stories and challenges of transitioning into an Agile Leader, while also focusing on what we in the Agile community are struggling with most.
There has been a lot written about techniques for creating great Agile teams. Dipesh will take these theories a bit further, and look into how Leaders can build great teams, not by using a new method or management style, but rather by understanding their own Agile team dynamics and behaviour.
You will learn about the assumptions and challenges surrounding self-organizing Agile teams and how to build a stronger team of Servant Leaders.
If you are a leader or an aspiring leader of an Agile team, this session will provide clear implications for where to focus your efforts so that you do not worry about the wrong things. You will be inspired by knowing how to establish trust within the teams that is required to embrace uncertainty and ambiguity while confidently making better decisions.
