Resource Management
A few months back I spoke with some graduate students about "what is data warehousing". In this talk I covered the past, present, and probably future of what data warehousing is and how it can add value to a company.
Overview of the SlamData open source project for modern data analytics. SlamData allows users to run ordinary SQL queries on modern NoSQL Data like JSON. Currently we support MongoDB, but plan to support other NoSQL datastores including Cassandra, Hadoop and others. Our project opens up modern NoSQL data to anyone with basic SQL skills.
This presentation contains a broad introduction to big data and its technologies.
Big data is a term that describes the large volume of data – both structured and unstructured – that inundates a business on a day-to-day basis.
Big Data is a phrase used to mean a massive volume of both structured and unstructured data that is so large it is difficult to process using traditional database and software techniques. In most enterprise scenarios the volume of data is too big or it moves too fast or it exceeds current processing capacity.
How to deliver a successful product when technology landscape is new and rapidly changing? How to identify technology limitations before moving to production? What if there are no technology experts to answer your questions?
Strategic prototyping can help development teams respond to these issues instead of blindly building full-scale products. I will not be offering silver bullets of simple recipes for success. Instead, you will learn about the practical guidelines for prototyping, combining architecture analysis and a variety of prototyping techniques. With some Big Data systems development flavor on top of it.

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 2020.
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.

Data Lakehouse, Data Mesh, and Data Fabric (r2)James Serra
So many buzzwords of late: Data Lakehouse, Data Mesh, and Data Fabric. What do all these terms mean and how do they compare to a modern data warehouse? In this session I’ll cover all of them in detail and compare the pros and cons of each. They all may sound great in theory, but I'll dig into the concerns you need to be aware of before taking the plunge. I’ll also include use cases so you can see what approach will work best for your big data needs. And I'll discuss Microsoft version of the data mesh.

Low-Latency Analytics with NoSQL – Introduction to Storm and CassandraCaserta
Businesses are generating and ingesting an unprecedented volume of structured and unstructured data to be analyzed. Needed is a scalable Big Data infrastructure that processes and parses extremely high volume in real-time and calculates aggregations and statistics. Banking trade data where volumes can exceed billions of messages a day is a perfect example.
Firms are fast approaching 'the wall' in terms of scalability with relational databases, and must stop imposing relational structure on analytics data and map raw trade data to a data model in low latency, preserve the mapped data to disk, and handle ad-hoc data requests for data analytics.
Joe discusses and introduces NoSQL databases, describing how they are capable of scaling far beyond relational databases while maintaining performance , and shares a real-world case study that details the architecture and technologies needed to ingest high-volume data for real-time analytics.

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.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

10
• Efficient research can only be done offline
• Real effect can only be validated online (and we a/b test like crazy)
• Flexibility and ease of use => fast validation of new ideas

12. Maintaining Data for Online Predictions
• Cookies
• Easy and super distributed
• Difficult to maintain (sustainability)
• Updates are online only (and
bootstrapping is hard)
• Cannot be reached offline
• Limited storage
• Increases network latency and costs
• Not so great in out of order events
12
• Server-Side Data Counters
• Requires high performance NoSQL database
technology (Cassandra, Hbase, Scylladb, etc.)
• Easy to bootstrap data calculated offline or
upload data from other sources
• Less limited on storage (up to $$$)
• Easy on read online (usually not a lot of data)
• Read before write (counter implementations
are dodgy)
• Fixed set of counters and aggregations (early
commitment)
13. • Saving Individual Events
– Let the “future you” decide on how to aggregate
– De-normalize to your liking (tradeoff between computation
time and latency/storage)
– No read before write (and non-blocking)
– Reads are extremely expensive
• Time Series Data Modeling
– Control over read latency
– Useful for time dependent modeling (e.g. decay counters)
– May still be a challenge (mastering DB internals is a must)
13
Is this enough for offline analysis and research?
Maintaining Data for Online Predictions
15. Data for ML Pipelining and Research: The Challenge
• Objective: A complete picture of the user and context on every impression!
• Challenges:
– Events occur in different times
– Historic user data must be true to the time of impression
– Fast querying by hundreds of analysts and engineers
– Machine learning programs like their data flat
• What is the real issue?
– Joins between various events to form a logical entity (user, session, page view)
– Joins between historic user data and current impression data
15
Maintain a Dedicated Data Store
16. How we went about solving these challenges?
• Starting point: pre-aggregate counters over raw data
• Every query requires rerun (parsing and joins over the raw data)
• Many additional disadvantages
• When in trouble: de-normalize!
• Use efficient and extendable serialization schema (e.g. Protobuf)
• De-normalize until you run out of space (or money)
• Useful for pipelining historic user data
• Join multiple events at write time (short term)
• Maintain a mutual key (user id, session id, page view id)
• Use a strong and scalable key-value database (e.g. C*)
• Use Columnar Storage (long term)
• Drives Machine Learning and research
• Many tools out there (Parquet, BigQuery, etc.)
• Use scalable and rich query mechanism (Spark SQL, BigQuery, Impala, etc.)
• Machine Learning programs like flat data (easy with FLATTEN, explode, user defined functions etc.)

17. Because We Recommend…
Data is king!
Online and offline pose different challenges -> different solutions
Storage is cheap: rewrite your data for convenience
Still worried about storage? You don’t have to keep everything for
every user:
Sub-sampling is a requirement when learning models
Be extremely verbose for small parts of the data
For fast research: save it again for sample of the users, views, etc.
