The General Data Protection Regulation: Why do people say yes to marketing?
There is a dichotomy between respect for private lives and the data-driven demands of marketing. Hyper personalisation, profiling and programmatic marketing’s ability to deliver pinpoint accurate messaging, must surely drive greater return on marketing investment; but at what cost to an individuals’ right to privacy.
What if a law demanded absolute honesty, total disclosure, a revelation of the true intimacy of the data collected, a cathartic proclamation of the true depth of our knowledge, the value of this data, and the profit earned?
Never mind what if; it’s here and will be in force in less than two years.
This event is about what you can, and should be doing to profit from changes in law and attitudes precipitated by the General Data Protection Regulation. Marketers and agencies must now ask; if people were made to understood what we did in terms of tracking, segmenting, profiling, augmenting, scraping and trading in data about them, would they actively, unequivocally, continually CONSENT to it?
If you think the answer is no, you might want to place this question at the top of your to-do list; why people say yes to marketing?

Will blockchain technology prove to be the biggest disruptor the digital industry has yet faced? Or is it the salvation for creatives and content creators? What exactly is the blockchain? This breakfast briefing will unlock the mystery as you hear from thought leaders and digital practitioners on what the next big thing means for digital.
Suzy discusses the use of blockchain as part of the 'CitizenPass' initiative, which uses blockchain, biometrics and data to certify an individuals' identity.
The document discusses the global identification crisis, with over 232 million undocumented migrants and 21 million people trafficked annually. It also discusses identity fraud in the UK, with 80% of fraud occurring online and a 31% increase in confirmed cases from the previous year. The document then examines how blockchain technology could help solve issues of decentralized, reliable, secure and cost-effective identification without borders, but also notes challenges around cost, sustainability, speed and lack of international standards for blockchain identity solutions.
Will blockchain technology prove to be the biggest disruptor the digital industry has yet faced? Or is it the salvation for creatives and content creators? What exactly is the blockchain? This breakfast briefing will unlock the mystery as you hear from thought leaders and digital practitioners on what the next big thing means for digital.
Dave looks at the types of blockchain and the different ways in which the blockchain can be applied in the 'real world'.
Blockchain is a distributed ledger that records digital events and transactions in a way that is permanent and verifiable. It allows information to be recorded and shared across a network of multiple parties without the need for central record keeping. The technology began with Bitcoin and provides an open record of every Bitcoin transaction. It has potential applications beyond digital currencies for any system requiring a secure and decentralized record of transactions or information.
Agile marketing techniques can meet the ‘always on, always connected’ need for unprecedented speed and flexibility. Hear how agile marketing allows agencies and brands to work more collaboratively on their marketing campaigns; and how to use metrics to learn and adapt, instead of 12-month plans.
The document discusses several topics related to clients and business relationships. It notes that while business motives are usually focused on profit, people's motives are complex and varied as the human brain is not fully understood. It emphasizes the importance of building trusted relationships with clients by being their strongest ally and having them as advocates. The document also acknowledges that the real world is imperfect and problems will inevitably arise in client relationships, such as conflicting objectives between clients or a client not fully supporting a project.
The document discusses balancing creativity, productivity, and well-being in the workplace. It introduces two employees, Jen the designer and Pawan in accounts, who are initially unhappy but then happy. It suggests strategies like satellite teams, special projects, and staff rotations to help maintain balance and positive morale.
This document discusses the rise of influencer marketing and how influencers have become important brand custodians. It notes that consumers highly trust peer recommendations from influencers over traditional ads. Influencers have huge reach among younger demographics and can authentically promote brands in a way that feels genuine to audiences. The document examines case studies of successful influencer campaigns and how the influencer marketing industry has evolved, with top influencers now commanding high fees and audiences growing savvier. It emphasizes that brands must view influencers as a legitimate media channel and collaborate with them authentically rather than forcing promotions to maintain relevance and trust.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation ParametersSafe Software
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

It is with great pleasure that we extend to you an invitation to the 5th Power Grid Model Meet-up, scheduled for 6th June 2024. This event will adopt a hybrid format, allowing participants to join us either through an online Mircosoft Teams session or in person at TU/e located at Den Dolech 2, Eindhoven, Netherlands. The meet-up will be hosted by Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), a research university specializing in engineering science & technology.
Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
What to expect
For the upcoming meetup we are organizing, we have an exciting lineup of activities planned:
-Insightful presentations covering two practical applications of the Power Grid Model.
-An update on the latest advancements in Power Grid -Model technology during the first and second quarters of 2024.
-An interactive brainstorming session to discuss and propose new feature requests.
-An opportunity to connect with fellow Power Grid Model enthusiasts and users.

Generating privacy-protected synthetic data using Secludy and MilvusZilliz
During this demo, the founders of Secludy will demonstrate how their system utilizes Milvus to store and manipulate embeddings for generating privacy-protected synthetic data. Their approach not only maintains the confidentiality of the original data but also enhances the utility and scalability of LLMs under privacy constraints. Attendees, including machine learning engineers, data scientists, and data managers, will witness first-hand how Secludy's integration with Milvus empowers organizations to harness the power of LLMs securely and efficiently.
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?
