Towards Expertise Modelling for Routing Data Cleaning Tasks within a Communit...Umair ul Hassan
https://www.insight-centre.org/content/towards-expertise-modelling-routing-data-cleaning-tasks-within-community-knowledge-workers
Presented at the ICIQ 2012
ABSTRACT:
Applications consuming data have to deal with variety of data quality issues such as missing values, duplication, incorrect values, etc. Although automatic approaches can be utilized for data cleaning the results can remain uncertain. Therefore updates suggested by automatic data cleaning algorithms require further human verification. This paper presents an approach for generating tasks for uncertain updates and routing these tasks to appropriate workers based on their expertise. Specifically the paper tackles the problem of modelling the expertise of knowledge workers for the purpose of routing tasks within collaborative data quality management. The proposed expertise model represents the profile of a worker against a set of concepts describing the data. A simple routing algorithm is employed for leveraging the expertise profiles for matching data cleaning tasks with workers. The proposed approach is evaluated on a real world dataset using human workers. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of using concepts for modelling expertise, in terms of likelihood of receiving responses to tasks routed to workers.

CeBIT Keynote: Rethinking Work. The Next Chapter in Social CollaborationSameer Patel
1) Enterprise social software has seen significant growth but adoption by employees has been low, with most employees never using their company's social platform.
2) Social collaboration in businesses currently happens in isolation from actual business processes and applications.
3) The transformational opportunity for social collaboration comes from closing this gap by surfacing social features and collaboration at the point where business decisions are made, actions are taken, and processes are executed. This would allow social collaboration to directly drive key business metrics like revenue, costs, risks, and more.

This document discusses the importance of modeling and metadata management for businesses. It notes that 60% of IT projects fail or only partially succeed due to poor alignment between business and IT. Effective modeling helps ensure business goals, rules and requirements are met and that changes can be implemented with minimal risk, time and cost. Metadata management provides business agility, aids regulatory compliance, and forms the foundation for service-oriented architectures. The document promotes PowerDesigner as the leading tool for conceptual, logical and physical data modeling as well as enterprise architecture and metadata management.
BI at your fingertips - views also from Hariram Kalidas (GBM)Shwetank Jayaswal
Business intelligence solutions have become more integrated and easier for organizations to implement. They are no longer limited to just large tech companies, and more industries are using BI to improve decision making. As BI tools have advanced, trends like predictive analytics, big data, cloud-based services, and analytics focused on specific industries have emerged. Successful companies will be those that can organize themselves around analytics to drive differentiation from data.

Big Data in Financial Services: How to Improve Performance with Data-Driven D...Perficient, Inc.
Most banking and financial services organizations have only scratched the surface of leveraging customer data to transform their business, realize new revenue opportunities, manage risk and address customer loyalty. Yet a business’s digital footprint continues to evolve as automated payments, location-based purchases, and unstructured customer communications continue to influence the technology landscape for financial services.
Similar to Big data cloud cloud circle keynote_final laura colvine 8th november 2012 (20)
The document discusses how companies can optimize their digital infrastructure through a harmonious arrangement of digital systems, similar to how instruments in a symphony orchestra work together to produce a cohesive work. It notes many companies still rely on outdated core backend systems from the 1990s that hamper their abilities to keep up with competitors. To fully leverage new technologies like artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and APIs, companies require a holistic approach that brings all their digital capabilities together in a coordinated way. Only then can their various digital systems work in harmony to transform their businesses.
Most consumers are open to sharing, communicating and contributing
directly with manufacturers; indeed, this is rapidly becoming an
expectation. Brands have an open platform to do so through digital and
mobile channels and can no longer afford to be one step removed from
the consumer. The journey is just beginning, and it’s anyone’s game.
Learn about how cloud computing has accelerated IBM’s ability to innovate and do so in ways that improve how
IBM delivers services and support. In short, it has become a catalyst
for business transformation at IBM.
Responding to and recovering from sophisticated security attacksIBM
This document discusses four steps organizations can take to help protect themselves from sophisticated cyber attacks:
