Capitalizing on analytics in finance: Creating trusted insights for the enter...Spencer Lin
A recent IBM study of 337 CFOs and senior finance executives found that about 90% are implementing analytics solutions. However, analytics adoption is happening in pockets and isn’t pervasive across finance activities. With investment in analytics poised to double in the near term, how can Finance better capitalize on these new capabilities? To answer that question, we looked at the most effective Finance organizations and learned three important lessons from their success.
Business intelligence technologies provide finance departments with historical, current, and predictive views of business operations based on integrated data from across the organization. This allows finance to move beyond reporting and into advising the business by revealing trends, patterns, and insights. For example, AT&T Mobility's finance department leverages a Teradata enterprise data warehouse to calculate the profitability of 80 million subscribers daily and identify any subscribers who churned so they can work to win them back. Implementing BI requires getting sponsorship, understanding needs, building partnerships, standardizing data, and delivering self-service tools and timely detailed data to support strategic financial analysis and decision making.
Bob Samuels provides strategic marketing analytics, client and partner development, demand generation, and financial ROI optimization services. He specializes in continuous risk monitoring, audit and preparation, forecasts and modeling, benchmarking KPIs, and data discovery from sources such as accounting software, structured and unstructured content, images, sensors, and machine/log files. His analytics skills include dashboards, business intelligence, predictive modeling using machine learning, and prescriptive analytics applied across industries such as finance, manufacturing, telecom, retail, government, and healthcare.
The document discusses how finance analytics can help organizations by reducing risk and instilling confidence in decision making through gaining control over analytical processes. It describes how modernizing financial processes and putting core finance data in a centralized system can free the finance function from inefficiencies and allow it to focus on value-added analysis. Implementing finance analytics solutions can increase finance efficiency, enable more effective business partnering, and support better risk analysis and decision making.
Data Metrics and Automation: A Strange Loop - SIRAcon 2015Michael Roytman
Data informs Metrics, and Metrics are the basis for Automation in all fields. In information security, we are a at critical new juncture - an influx of data allows us to automate whole new subsets of the field. Doing so systematically and methodically, with appropriate frameworks, is a bigger challenge.

The 2015 FinTech Survey asked 200 people in the FinTech community for their insights and predictions. London was identified as the global leader in FinTech by 63% of respondents, a 12% increase from the previous year. When asked which company would become a financial services provider in the next 5 years, 34% selected Alibaba, while Apple rose to 18% and Amazon dropped to 10%. Regarding areas for FinTech startups to focus on, 20% cited financial inclusion, though this was down 10% from the previous year.

This document summarizes a study that examined inter-rater reliability in assessing oral presentation skills. The study involved students in two listening and speaking courses who gave peer assessments of oral presentations based on evaluation criteria. Two tutors also evaluated the presentations. The researchers found significant differences between student and tutor assessments, and some differences between tutor evaluations. Agreement was higher when standardized criteria were used. The authors conclude that training is needed to improve reliability of peer assessments for oral presentation skills.
This document contains a summary of key concepts from a linear algebra course. It discusses vectors and vector spaces. Specifically, it examines whether a set of vectors forms a subspace and finds a basis for a subspace. It shows that a set V is a subspace of R4 by proving it is closed under addition and scalar multiplication. It then determines a basis B of three vectors for the subspace V, showing its dimension is 3.

Here are a few reasons why people are often inspired to update their kitchens, from making more space to wanting to introduce more technology into the room. Why would you change your kitchen?
This document provides information about Girish Vala's work experience and research. It discusses his current work in BIM-based estimation and planning, site logistics using BIM, dynamic clash detection and scheduling in Navisworks. It also outlines his research on optimizing construction sequencing, bidirectional linking of BIM models to databases, and extracting information from 3D models for visualization and estimation. Diagrams show a proposed building construction sequencing and an example 3D model with clash detection.
This document summarizes a journey through scales of size from the microcosm to the macrocosm and back again, noting key observations at each power of 10 change in scale. It starts at 1 meter and travels outward in powers of 10 until reaching 100 billion light years, then returns inward observing subatomic particles down to the Planck length. Throughout it emphasizes the constancy of natural laws across all scales and our limited knowledge.

State of Artificial intelligence Report 2023kuntobimo2016
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a multidisciplinary field of science and engineering whose goal is to create intelligent machines.
We believe that AI will be a force multiplier on technological progress in our increasingly digital, data-driven world. This is because everything around us today, ranging from culture to consumer products, is a product of intelligence.
The State of AI Report is now in its sixth year. Consider this report as a compilation of the most interesting things we’ve seen with a goal of triggering an informed conversation about the state of AI and its implication for the future.
We consider the following key dimensions in our report:
Research: Technology breakthroughs and their capabilities.
Industry: Areas of commercial application for AI and its business impact.
Politics: Regulation of AI, its economic implications and the evolving geopolitics of AI.
Safety: Identifying and mitigating catastrophic risks that highly-capable future AI systems could pose to us.
Predictions: What we believe will happen in the next 12 months and a 2022 performance review to keep us honest.

ViewShift: Hassle-free Dynamic Policy Enforcement for Every Data LakeWalaa Eldin Moustafa
Dynamic policy enforcement is becoming an increasingly important topic in today’s world where data privacy and compliance is a top priority for companies, individuals, and regulators alike. In these slides, we discuss how LinkedIn implements a powerful dynamic policy enforcement engine, called ViewShift, and integrates it within its data lake. We show the query engine architecture and how catalog implementations can automatically route table resolutions to compliance-enforcing SQL views. Such views have a set of very interesting properties: (1) They are auto-generated from declarative data annotations. (2) They respect user-level consent and preferences (3) They are context-aware, encoding a different set of transformations for different use cases (4) They are portable; while the SQL logic is only implemented in one SQL dialect, it is accessible in all engines.

The Building Blocks of QuestDB, a Time Series Databasejavier ramirez
Talk Delivered at Valencia Codes Meetup 2024-06.
Traditionally, databases have treated timestamps just as another data type. However, when performing real-time analytics, timestamps should be first class citizens and we need rich time semantics to get the most out of our data. We also need to deal with ever growing datasets while keeping performant, which is as fun as it sounds.
It is no wonder time-series databases are now more popular than ever before. Join me in this session to learn about the internal architecture and building blocks of QuestDB, an open source time-series database designed for speed. We will also review a history of some of the changes we have gone over the past two years to deal with late and unordered data, non-blocking writes, read-replicas, or faster batch ingestion.
