[insert period joke here] Researching Menstruation OnlineAstrid Bigoni
This is a presentation of the research project [insert period joke here] Researching Menstruation Online, conducted during the Digital Methods Summer School 2013 in Amsterdam. The project aimed to unravel and understand how menstruation is described and discussed across different languages, platforms and cultures online.
In many respects, menstruation is still a taboo in Western societies. Women are encouraged to hide their menstruation and not talk about it in public. In the public sphere there seem to be two dominant approaches and discourses surrounding menstruation. One is a pathological perspective, which frames menstruation as something that needs medication; either in order for women to cope with their menstruation, or for women to get rid of their menstruation all together. The other sees menstruation as a hygiene problem that needs to be fixed.
We aimed to reveal the extent to which these constructed discourses are replicated and/or challenged across different cultures, languages and platforms online.

Real-time Data De-duplication using Locality-sensitive Hashing powered by Sto...DECK36
Data de-duplication, in our case also called "Entity Matching", is not just about reducing multiple instances of the same item to one in order to save some space. It is a challenging task with many practical applications from health care to fraud prevention: "Is this person the same patient as ten years ago, but has moved in the meantime?", "Is this personalized spam mail the same email that was sent to many others, yet customized in each case?", or "Was there a spike resp. what is the base level of similar looking account creations?". In the age of Big Data, we do have the data to answer such questions, but heuristically comparing each item to all other items quickly becomes technically prohibitive for huge data sets.
In this session, we will have a look at past practises and current developments in the world of data de-duplication. After that, we will look at how to leverage locality-sensitive hashing algorithmically to reduce the amount of comparisons to a workable level. A demonstration will feature our implementation of that algorithm on top of Riak and Storm. The session will then finish with an overview of experiments and results using that system on different datasets, including browser fingerprints, tweets, and news articles.
In depth: New financial instruments impairment modelPwC
On June 16, 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) (the “ASU”). The ASU introduces a new model for recognizing credit losses on financial instruments based on an estimate of current expected credit losses. The new model will apply to: (1) loans, accounts receivable, trade receivables, and other financial assets measured at amortized cost, (2) loan commitments and certain other off-balance sheet credit exposures, (3) debt securities and other financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, and (4) beneficial interests in securitized financial assets.
