Smart Data - How you and I will exploit Big Data for personalized digital hea...Amit Sheth
Amit Sheth's keynote at IEEE BigData 2014, Oct 29, 2014.
Abstract from:
http://cci.drexel.edu/bigdata/bigdata2014/keynotespeech.htm
Big Data has captured a lot of interest in industry, with the emphasis on the challenges of the four Vs of Big Data: Volume, Variety, Velocity, and Veracity, and their applications to drive value for businesses. Recently, there is rapid growth in situations where a big data challenge relates to making individually relevant decisions. A key example is personalized digital health that related to taking better decisions about our health, fitness, and well-being. Consider for instance, understanding the reasons for and avoiding an asthma attack based on Big Data in the form of personal health signals (e.g., physiological data measured by devices/sensors or Internet of Things around humans, on the humans, and inside/within the humans), public health signals (e.g., information coming from the healthcare system such as hospital admissions), and population health signals (such as Tweets by people related to asthma occurrences and allergens, Web services providing pollen and smog information). However, no individual has the ability to process all these data without the help of appropriate technology, and each human has different set of relevant data!
In this talk, I will describe Smart Data that is realized by extracting value from Big Data, to benefit not just large companies but each individual. If my child is an asthma patient, for all the data relevant to my child with the four V-challenges, what I care about is simply, “How is her current health, and what are the risk of having an asthma attack in her current situation (now and today), especially if that risk has changed?” As I will show, Smart Data that gives such personalized and actionable information will need to utilize metadata, use domain specific knowledge, employ semantics and intelligent processing, and go beyond traditional reliance on ML and NLP. I will motivate the need for a synergistic combination of techniques similar to the close interworking of the top brain and the bottom brain in the cognitive models.
For harnessing volume, I will discuss the concept of Semantic Perception, that is, how to convert massive amounts of data into information, meaning, and insight useful for human decision-making. For dealing with Variety, I will discuss experience in using agreement represented in the form of ontologies, domain models, or vocabularies, to support semantic interoperability and integration. For Velocity, I will discuss somewhat more recent work on Continuous Semantics, which seeks to use dynamically created models of new objects, concepts, and relationships, using them to better understand new cues in the data that capture rapidly evolving events and situations.
Smart Data applications in development at Kno.e.sis come from the domains of personalized health, energy, disaster response, and smart city.
Driven by the rapid progress in Artificial Intelligence (AI) research, intelligent machines are gaining the ability to learn, improve and make calculated decisions in ways that will enable them to perform tasks previously thought to rely solely on human experience, creativity, and ingenuity. As a result, we will in the near future see large parts of our lives influenced by AI.
AI innovation will also be central to the achievement of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and will help solving humanity's grand challenges by capitalizing on the unprecedented quantities of data now being generated on sentiment behavior, human health, commerce, communications, migration and more.
With large parts of our lives being influenced by AI, it is critical that government, industry, academia and civil society work together to evaluate the opportunities presented by AI, ensuring that AI benefits all of humanity. Responding to this critical issue, ITU and the XPRIZE Foundation organized AI for Good Global Summit in Geneva, 7-9 June, 2017 in partnership with a number of UN sister agencies. The Summit aimed to accelerate and advance the development and democratization of AI solutions that can address specific global challenges related to poverty, hunger, health, education, the environment, and others.
The Summit provided a neutral platform for government officials, UN agencies, NGO's, industry leaders, and AI experts to discuss the ethical, technical, societal and policy issues related to AI, offer reccommendations and guidance, and promote international dialogue and cooperation in support of AI innovation.

Current Disruptions in Media: Earthquakes or New Openings? Stanford as CatalystMartha Russell
Across the globe, new word-of-mouth messaging methods are emerging. Many of these involve new technologies. The strategic use of media has become a game changer for both local and global businesses. Traditional media platforms are outpaced by the speed of flash movements as they unfold. Technical discoveries outpace the scientific journals available to announce them. Journalists, entertainers, academics, scientists, and citizens are experimenting with new tools and platforms for content creation, consumption and curation.
When the news about Tahir Square, or Occupy Wall Street or, more recently the Brazilian protests, hit the headlines of newspapers and magazines, they were already outdated. Documentaries were equally incapable of tracking and fully describing these movements. Traditional narratives – and the technologies used to tell them - fall short of accurately portraying the ideas and behaviors that are emerging through new modes of communication. Information travels so fast, that news is no longer "new". Ubiquitous media disintermediates traditional business ecosystems. And every company must take on roles of a media company.
The world of digital content is experiencing an explosion of innovation in both creation and consumption of media. It may well have been consumer applications that ignited the transformation, but business, enterprise and government interests have joined the party. Across the entire innovation ecosystem of media, new technologies and new uses of it by people are creating a sea change in the way people participate and in the responses they expect, Streaming coverage, both amateur and professional – both business and community, is powered by cutting edge technology in combinations of smartphones, 4G, drone cameras and, even, Google Glass can report on events and movements, products and services. The new role of the Chief Digital Officer has emerged in many organizations - to help management bridge the changing roles usually played by Chief Information Officers, Chief Marketing Officers, and Chief Technology Officers.
Labs affiliated with mediaX at Stanford University study how people and information technology interact. We invite discovery collaborations on the future of content for business, education, and entertainment.

How might generative artificial intelligence (AI) and automation be undertaken to produce social good? In an increasingly automated digital media world, user agency is challenged through the loss of interaction functionality on the platforms, technologies and interfaces of everyday digital media use. Instead, algorithmically designed decision making processes function for users to assist them in making sense of these environments as a means of assisting them to seek out content that is relevant, of interest and entertaining. However, if the last five years are anything to go by, these sorts of recommendations, particularly across social media, have caused anything but social cohesion and unity amongst users, and have instead spread misinformation, vitriol and hurtful media. Would our society be different had we designed systems that focused on, while still entertaining, content that places the wellbeing of humans at the forefront over content that is, for the most part, popular?
This presentation uses the lens of digital intermediation to explore how civic algorithms might be designed and implemented in digital spaces to improve social cohesion. By unpacking the technologies, institutions and automation surrounding the cultural production practices of digital intermediation, it becomes clearer how these leavers can be adjusted to nudge and encourage platforms, users and content creators to engage in improved civic processes. As a digital intermediation challenge, creating and working with civic algorithms presents as a potentially useful approach towards improving the cornerstone of our democracies by ensuring citizens have access to accurate information, are engaging in the discussions that are important and relevant to them, and are operating within digital environments that value social good alongside commercial gains.

Switchpoint Presentation - Information for Crisis VictimsEduardo Jezierski
In 2009 and 2012, InSTEDD worked with Thomson Reuters Foundation to design, test and deploy an "Emergency Information System" program that would help survivors of a crisis with information relevant to them delivered via their mobiles. Here is a synopsis and the results of a 3rd party evaluation done after the deployment in Haiti.
With a little bit of help, program managers designed, configured and demonstrated tools for population information hotlines using Verboice, the most widely used voice platform for global humanitarian projects.
At AAAS we did a panel where Vint Cerf and I were co-discussants on the topic of web surveillance for health and security. There, I proposed that the panopticon aspiration needs to be curtailed, and that a framework such as Creative Commons - playfully called "Health Commons" could regulate and make predictable what constitutes legal use of this big data.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Editor's Notes
What can a remote clinic in Africa teach us about enterprise architecture? What can a Southeast Asian Ministry of Health with a critical mission, but no CTO and no budget teach us about our agile methods? More than you would think!In this session I will share my experiences from working as an architect at Microsoft to working on health and emergency technologies in low-resource settings. Learn how we work everyday with mobile and cloud technologies, in a setting that may challenge a lot of your assumptions about the patterns that underly robust enterprise architectures and methods.Personal why mattersDesign for the users- If you don’t go you don’t knowThe power of horizontal communications“Enterprise” assumptions break downMake your app/datastore into a platformTreat the planet as a closed system
