ADV Slides: Strategies for Fitting a Data Lake into a Modern Data ArchitectureDATAVERSITY
Whether to take data ingestion cycles off the ETL tool and the Data Warehouse or to facilitate competitive Data Science and building algorithms in the organization, the Data Lake — a place for unmodeled and vast data — will be provisioned widely in 2019.
Though it doesn’t have to be complicated, the Data Lake has a few key design points that are critical, and it does need to follow some principles for success. Avoid building the Data Swamp, but not the Data Lake! The tool ecosystem is building up around the Data Lake and soon many will have a robust Lake and Data Warehouse. We will discuss policy to keep them straight, send “horses to courses,” and keep up users’ confidence in the Data Platforms.
As for platform, although Hadoop received the early majority of Data Lakes, organizations are now weighing in that the Data Lake will be built in Cloud object storage. We’ll discuss these options as well.

A full Machine learning pipeline in Scikit-learn vs in scala-Spark: pros and ...Jose Quesada (hiring)
The machine learning libraries in Apache Spark are an impressive piece of software engineering, and are maturing rapidly. What advantages does Spark.ml offer over scikit-learn? At Data Science Retreat we've taken a real-world dataset and worked through the stages of building a predictive model -- exploration, data cleaning, feature engineering, and model fitting; which would you use in production?
The machine learning libraries in Apache Spark are an impressive piece of software engineering, and are maturing rapidly. What advantages does Spark.ml offer over scikit-learn?
At Data Science Retreat we've taken a real-world dataset and worked through the stages of building a predictive model -- exploration, data cleaning, feature engineering, and model fitting -- in several different frameworks. We'll show what it's like to work with native Spark.ml, and compare it to scikit-learn along several dimensions: ease of use, productivity, feature set, and performance.
In some ways Spark.ml is still rather immature, but it also conveys new superpowers to those who know how to use it.
Modern Data Architecture for a Data Lake with Informatica and Hortonworks Dat...Hortonworks
How do you turn data from many different sources into actionable insights and manufacture those insights into innovative information-based products and services?
Industry leaders are accomplishing this by adding Hadoop as a critical component in their modern data architecture to build a data lake. A data lake collects and stores data across a wide variety of channels including social media, clickstream data, server logs, customer transactions and interactions, videos, and sensor data from equipment in the field. A data lake cost-effectively scales to collect and retain massive amounts of data over time, and convert all this data into actionable information that can transform your business.
Join Hortonworks and Informatica as we discuss:
- What is a data lake?
- The modern data architecture for a data lake
- How Hadoop fits into the modern data architecture
- Innovative use-cases for a data lake
The worlds of IT and Telecommunications Networking are converging bringing with them new possibilities and capabilities that can be deployed into the network A key transformation has been the ability to run IT based servers at network edge, applying the concepts of cloud computing.
It’s a key decision most data center managers will face in the next couple of years:
Should you retrofit, build, colocate, or move to the cloud? Each has its benefits, and own inherent risks and costs
Industry 4.0 has widespread application across Industries (Manufacturing, Logistics, Mobility etc.). In case of manufacturing and processing industries Industry 4.0 means Smart Manufacturing using IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things or simply Industrial IoT) in a connected smart factory.
It enables an Organization to make smart data-driven decisions based on Big Data, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. Industry 4.0 IIoT has several benefits such as Resource Optimization, Cost Reduction, Automation, Predictive Maintenance and Prescriptive Analytics and Control etc.

GCP for Apache Kafka® Users: Stream Ingestion and Processingconfluent
Watch this talk here: https://www.confluent.io/online-talks/gcp-for-apache-kafka-users-stream-ingestion-processing
In private and public clouds, stream analytics commonly means stateless processing systems organized around Apache Kafka® or a similar distributed log service. GCP took a somewhat different tack, with Cloud Pub/Sub, Dataflow, and BigQuery, distributing the responsibility for processing among ingestion, processing and database technologies.
We compare the two approaches to data integration and show how Dataflow allows you to join and transform and deliver data streams among on-prem and cloud Apache Kafka clusters, Cloud Pub/Sub topics and a variety of databases. The session will have a mix of architectural discussions and practical code reviews of Dataflow-based pipelines.

Abstract:
Developing accurate recommender systems for a specific problem setting seems to be a complicated and time-consuming task: models have to be defined, learning algorithms derived and implementations written. In this talk, I present the factorization machine (FM) model which is a generic factorization approach that allows to be adapted to problems by feature engineering. Efficient FM learning algorithms are discussed among them SGD, ALS/CD and MCMC inference including automatic hyperparameter selection. I will show on several tasks, including the Netflix prize and KDDCup 2012, that FMs are flexible and generate highly competitive accuracy. With FMs these results can be achieved by simple data preprocessing and without any tuning of regularization parameters or learning rates.

Dr. Erin LeDell, Machine Learning Scientist, H2O.ai at MLconf SEA - 5/20/16MLconf
Multi-algorithm Ensemble Learning at Scale: Software, Hardware and Algorithmic Approaches: Multi-algorithm ensemble machine learning methods are often used when the true prediction function is not easily approximated by a single algorithm. The Super Learner algorithm, also known as stacking, combines multiple, typically diverse, base learning algorithms into a single, powerful prediction function through a secondary learning process called metalearning. Although ensemble methods offer superior performance over their singleton counterparts, there is an implicit computational cost to ensembles, as it requires training and cross-validating multiple base learning algorithms.
We will demonstrate a variety of software- and hardware-based approaches that lead to more scalable ensemble learning software, including a highly scalable implementation of stacking called “H2O Ensemble”, built on top of the open source, distributed machine learning platform, H2O. H2O Ensemble scales across multi-node clusters and allows the user to create ensembles of deep neural networks, Gradient Boosting Machines, Random Forest, and others. As for algorithm-based approaches, we will present two algorithmic modifications to the original stacking algorithm that further reduce computation time — Subsemble algorithm and the Online Super Learner algorithm. This talk will also include benchmarks of the implementations of these new stacking variants.

Dr. Ren Wu, former distinguished scientist at Baidu's Institute of Deep Learning (IDL), presents the keynote talk, "Enabling Ubiquitous Visual Intelligence Through Deep Learning," at the May 2015 Embedded Vision Summit.
Deep learning techniques have been making headlines lately in computer vision research. Using techniques inspired by the human brain, deep learning employs massive replication of simple algorithms which learn to distinguish objects through training on vast numbers of examples. Neural networks trained in this way are gaining the ability to recognize objects as accurately as humans.
Some experts believe that deep learning will transform the field of vision, enabling the widespread deployment of visual intelligence in many types of systems and applications. But there are many practical problems to be solved before this goal can be reached. For example, how can we create the massive sets of real-world images required to train neural networks? And given their massive computational requirements, how can we deploy neural networks into applications like mobile and wearable devices with tight cost and power consumption constraints?
In this talk, Ren shares an insider’s perspective on these and other critical questions related to the practical use of neural networks for vision, based on the pioneering work being conducted by his former team at Baidu.
Note 1: Regarding the ImageNet results included in this presentation, the organizers of the ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC) have said: “Because of the violation of the regulations of the test server, these results may not be directly comparable to results obtained and reported by other teams.” (http://www.image-net.org/challenges/LSVRC/announcement-June-2-2015)
Note 2: The presenter, Ren Wu, has told the Embedded Vision Alliance that “There was some ambiguity with the rules. According to the ‘official’ interpretation of the rules, there should be no more than 52 submissions within a half year. For us, we achieved the reported results after 200 tests total within a half year. We believe there is no way to obtain any measurable gains, nor did we try to obtain any gains, from an 'extra' hundred tests as our networks have billions of parameters and are trained by tens of billions of training samples.”
The purpose of this workshop was to highlight the the significance of AI, IoT and their integration under the light of scientific research. The presentation of the workshop can be found below.
The impact of emerging IoT Technology and BigData. This is the slide presentation I did at the http://globalbigdatabootcamp.com/speakers/sanjay-sabnis/
The massive computing and storage resources that are needed to support big data applications make cloud environments an ideal fit. In this session, you'll learn how to build your big data "database on-demand" using MongoDB, Cassandra, Solr, MySQL, or any other big data solution, as well as manage your big data application using a new open source framework called “Cloudify.” All this, on top of the OpenStack cloud.
As data science workloads grow, so does their need for infrastructure. But, is it fair to ask data scientists to also become infrastructure experts? If not the data scientists, then, who is responsible for spinning up and managing data science infrastructure? This talk will address the context in which ML infrastructure is emerging, walk through two examples of ML infrastructure tools for launching hyperparameter optimization jobs, and end with some thoughts for building better tools in the future.

Artificial Intelligence and the Data Center
1. AI and the Data Center
Jose Ruiz, VP, Engineering
2. Hype, Fear and Where We Are
• We are a long, long, long, way from SkyNet
• The possibilities are legion
• But don’t believe everything that you hear
• Ex: Your job isn’t going away tomorrow
• AI is still in its infancy
• Including within the data center
• Current focus is on efficiencies
2
3. What is AI?
• Artificial Intelligence is actually an “umbrella” term
• Three components:
• Neural networks
• Machine learning
• Deep learning
• The AI “stack”
• Higher level functional capability as you move up the
stack
3
4. The Stack
Deep learning
Machine
learning
Neural
networks
• Deep learning
• Analyzes data at different
abstractions
• Uses multiple neural network
layers
• Machine learning
• Learn through absorption of
information
• Refine through algorithms to
determine “optimal” solution
• Neural networks
• Computer to look like a brain
• Multiple nodes
• Collectively can be “taught” to
solve higher level problems
4
5. The Stack in Action
• “Intelligence” builds as
you move up the stack
• Learnings become more
global
• Information gathered in
neural network nodes
• Higher order patterns
learned at machine
learning level
• Complicated data is
analyzed by breaking it
into component parts
• Long iterative process

Deep learning
Machine
learning
Neural
networks
6. Limitations
• Nuances
• Difficulty with inferences
• Don’t recognize causal relationships
• Ex: Symptoms and disease
• Doesn’t have “common sense”
• Couldn’t predict and solve a problem based on activities with out
detailed algorithms
• Would limit the availability of “off the shelf” solutions
• Now, not necessarily forever
6
(Someday)
7. AI in the Data Center
• Currently company specific
• Province of the big boys:
• Google, etc.
• Due to long ”learning cycle”
• Example:
• Google has used AI to reduce energy use by 40%
• Analysis of large volumes of data
• Energy used per component, outside air temp, etc.
• They were capturing all along
• “Taught” by algorithm to analyze interplay between variables
• Determined optimal relationships
7
8. The Future of AI in the Data Center
• Expect ”productized” applications within 5 years
• Will be subtle
• Incorporated into existing offerings
• Ex: DCIM
• 80-90% intelligence “built-in”
• Customer will be responsible for fine tuning
• Early focus
• Energy usage and efficiency
• Cooling
• Server optimization
8
9. Summary
• Artificial intelligence is an umbrella term
• Progressive functionality via stack
• Neural networks
• Machine learning
• Deep learning
• In its infancy for data centers
• End user proprietary
• “Productization” is coming
• But not for awhile
• Will be subtle
• Aid in increasing automation
