However, other key vectors such as costs and skill set needed for Big Data Analytics are often overlooked. In this session, we will consider all five vectors by exploring various techniques where traditional but progressive technologies such as column store DBMS and Event Stream Processing is combined with open source frameworks such as Hadoop to exploit the full potential of Big Data Analytics.
Agenda:
- Big Data Analytics in the real world
- Commercial and Open Source techniques
- Bringing together Commercial and Open Source techniques
* Architectures
* Programming APIs
(e.g. embedded and federated MapReduce)
- Conclusions
A Survey of Petabyte Scale Databases and Storage Systems Deployed at FacebookBigDataCloud
At Facebook, we use various types of databases and storage system to satisfy the needs of different applications. The solutions built around these data store systems have a common set of requirements: they have to be highly scalable, maintenance costs should be low and they have to perform efficiently. We use a sharded mySQL+memcache solution to support real-time access of tens of petabytes of data and we use TAO to provide consistency of this web-scale database across geographical distances. We use Haystack datastore for storing the 3 billion new photos we host every week. We use Apache Hadoop to mine intelligence from 100 petabytes of clicklogs and combine it with the power of Apache HBase to store all Facebook Messages.
This talk describes the reasons why each of these databases are appropriate for their workloads and the design decisions and tradeoffs that were made while implementing these solutions. We touch upon the consistency, availability and partitioning tolerance of each of these solutions. We touch upon the reasons why some of these systems need ACID semantics and other systems do not. We briefly touch upon some futures of how we plan to do big-data deployments across geographical locations and our requirements for a new breed of pure-memory and pure-SSD based transactional database.

Recommendation Engine Powered by Hadoop - Pranab GhoshBigDataCloud
Personalized recommendations are ubiquitous in social network and shopping sites these days. How do they do it? As long as enough user interaction data is available for items e.g., products in shopping sites, a kind of recommendation engine based on what’s known as ' Collaborative Filtering' is not that difficult to build. Since the solution causes a combinatorial explosion, Hadoop can play a critical role in processing massive amount of data in collaborative filtering based solutions. In this presentations, I will cover a Hadoop based recommendation engine implementation using collaborative filtering.
Generally in recommendation engines, user's past history on engagements with different items is a key input. However, in many situations in an enterprise’s business cycle, it is necessary to generate recommendations based on user activity in real time. In this Big Data Cloud's meetup on April 3, 2014, we discussed how to decipher real time click streams into meaningful recommendations in real time.
Pranab Ghosh discussed the real time recommendations feature of Sifarish, which is an open source project built on Hadoop, Storm and Redis.
Sifarish is a recommendation engine that does content based recommendation as well as social collaborative filtering based recommendation.

A Pipeline for Distributed Topic and Sentiment Analysis of Tweets on Pivotal ...Srivatsan Ramanujam
Unstructured data is everywhere - in the form of posts, status updates, bloglets or news feeds in social media or in the form of customer interactions Call Center CRM. While many organizations study and monitor social media for tracking brand value and targeting specific customer segments, in our experience blending the unstructured data with the structured data in supplementing data science models has been far more effective than working with it independently.
In this talk we will show case an end-to-end topic and sentiment analysis pipeline we've built on the Pivotal Greenplum Database platform for Twitter feeds from GNIP, using open source tools like MADlib and PL/Python. We've used this pipeline to build regression models to predict commodity futures from tweets and in enhancing churn models for telecom through topic and sentiment analysis of call center transcripts. All of this was possible because of the flexibility and extensibility of the platform we worked with.

Deep Learning for NLP (without Magic) - Richard Socher and Christopher ManningBigDataCloud
A tutorial given at NAACL HLT 2013.
Richard Socher and Christopher Manning
http://nlp.stanford.edu/courses/NAACL2013/
Machine learning is everywhere in today's NLP, but by and large machine learning amounts to numerical optimization of weights for human designed representations and features. The goal of deep learning is to explore how computers can take advantage of data to develop features and representations appropriate for complex interpretation tasks. This tutorial aims to cover the basic motivation, ideas, models and learning algorithms in deep learning for natural language processing. Recently, these methods have been shown to perform very well on various NLP tasks such as language modeling, POS tagging, named entity recognition, sentiment analysis and paraphrase detection, among others. The most attractive quality of these techniques is that they can perform well without any external hand-designed resources or time-intensive feature engineering. Despite these advantages, many researchers in NLP are not familiar with these methods. Our focus is on insight and understanding, using graphical illustrations and simple, intuitive derivations. The goal of the tutorial is to make the inner workings of these techniques transparent, intuitive and their results interpretable, rather than black boxes labeled "magic here". The first part of the tutorial presents the basics of neural networks, neural word vectors, several simple models based on local windows and the math and algorithms of training via backpropagation. In this section applications include language modeling and POS tagging. In the second section we present recursive neural networks which can learn structured tree outputs as well as vector representations for phrases and sentences. We cover both equations as well as applications. We show how training can be achieved by a modified version of the backpropagation algorithm introduced before. These modifications allow the algorithm to work on tree structures. Applications include sentiment analysis and paraphrase detection. We also draw connections to recent work in semantic compositionality in vector spaces. The principle goal, again, is to make these methods appear intuitive and interpretable rather than mathematically confusing. By this point in the tutorial, the audience members should have a clear understanding of how to build a deep learning system for word-, sentence- and document-level tasks. The last part of the tutorial gives a general overview of the different applications of deep learning in NLP, including bag of words models. We will provide a discussion of NLP-oriented issues in modeling, interpretation, representational power, and optimization.

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.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

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.
