[QCon.ai 2019] People You May Know: Fast Recommendations Over Massive DataSumit Rangwala
The “People You May Know” (PYMK) recommendation service helps LinkedIn’s members identify other members that they might want to connect to and is the major driver for growing LinkedIn's social network. The principal challenge in developing a service like PYMK is dealing with the sheer scale of computation needed to make precise recommendations with a high recall. PYMK service at LinkedIn has been operational for over a decade, during which it has evolved from an Oracle-backed system that took weeks to compute recommendations to a Hadoop backed system that took a few days to compute recommendations to its most modern embodiment where it can compute recommendations in near real time.
This talk will present the evolution of PYMK to its current architecture. We will focus on various systems we built along the way, with an emphasis on systems we built for our most recent architecture, namely Gaia, our real-time graph computing capability, and Venice our online feature store with scoring capability, and how we integrate these individual systems to generate recommendations in a timely and agile manner, while still being cost-efficient. We will briefly talk about the lessons learned about scalability limits of our past and current design choices and how we plan to tackle the scalability challenges for the next phase of growth.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Putting the SPARK into Virtual Training.pptxCynthia Clay
This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.

2. Theory
• A theory consists of a coherent set of general
propositions that offer an explanation of
some phenomena by describing the way other
things correspond to this phenomena.
• A theory is a formal, testable explanation of
some events that includes explanations of
how things relate to one another.
3. How theory is built?
• A theory can be built
– through a process of reviewing previous findings
of similar studies,
– simple logical deduction,
– and/or knowledge of applicable theoretical areas.
4. Goals Of Theory
• Understanding
– The first goal allows the theorist to gain an
understanding of the relationship among
various phenomena.
• Predicting
– To predict the behavior or characteristics of
one phenomenon, the understanding or
knowledge of another phenomenon is
important.
5. Concept (or Construct)
• A concept or construct is a generalized idea
about a class of objects, attributes, occurrences,
or processes that has been given a name.
– Concepts are the building blocks of theory
– Concepts abstract reality i.e. concepts express in
words various events or objects.
• “leadership,” “productivity,” and “morale” are concepts
of organizational productivity
• “gross national product,” “asset,” and “inflation” are
concepts of economics.
8. Definitions
• Abstract level -In theory development, the
level of knowledge expressing a concept that
exists only as an idea or a quality apart from
an object.
• Empirical level -Level of knowledge
reflecting that which is verifiable by
experience or observation.
– At an empirical level, we must more clearly
define a construct and identify actual measures
that we can assess and measure to represent the
construct.
10. Abstract Level
• Concepts abstract reality.
• Propositions are statements concerned with the
relationships among concepts.
– e.g. If an organizational researcher says “Older workers prefer
different rewards than younger workers”
– two concepts—age of worker and reward preference—are the
subjects of this abstract statement
– “Older workers prefer different rewards than younger workers” is
a proposition.
• Statements explaining the logical linkage among certain
concepts by asserting a universal connection between
concepts are Propositions
To construct a theory we must explain how concepts relate
to other concepts.
11. • A hypothesis is a proposition that is empirically
testable. It is an empirical statement concerned with the
relationship among variables.
Formal statement of an unproven proposition that
is empirically testable
• Empirical testing is about examining a research
hypothesis against reality using data.
• A variable is anything that may assume different
numerical values, the empirical assessment of a
concept.

Concept B
(Habits)
Hypothesis at Empirical Level
Concept A
(Reinforcement)
Proposition at Abstract Level
The positive reinforcements will result in beneficial habits of
sales representatives.
Increasing the dollar bonus for sales volume over quota will
increase the number of sales calls by sales representatives.
13. Example
• “Treating our employees better will make
them more loyal employees”
• “Increasing retirement benefits will reduce
employee annual turnover”
• “Decreasing work hours will reduce annual
employee turnover”
• Retirement benefits
• Work hours
• Employee turnover
Proposition
Hypothesis
Variables
14. Theory and Song
A fact without a theory
Is like a ship without a sail,
Is like a boat without a rudder,
Is like a kite without a tail.
A fact without a figure is a tragic final act,
But one thing worse in this universe
Is a theory without a fact.

16. Deductive Reasoning
• At the abstract, conceptual level, a theory may be
developed with deductive reasoning by going from a
general statement to a specific assertion
• The logical process of deriving a conclusion about a
specific instance based on a known general premise
or something known to be true
– Deductive reasoning reaches from general facts to specific
facts.
• We know that All dolphins are mammals.
• If we also know that All mammals have kidneys.
• Using deductive reasoning, you can conclude that all dolphins have
kidneys.
17. Inductive Reasoning
• At the empirical level, a theory may be
developed with inductive reasoning.
• The logical process of establishing a general
proposition on the basis of observation of
particular facts.
– Inductive reasoning reaches from specific facts to
general facts.
• All managers that have ever been seen are human beings;
therefore all managers are human beings.
• A recruiter conducts a study of recent hires who have
achieved success and stayed on with the organization. She
finds that they graduated from three local colleges, so she
decides to focus recruiting efforts on those schools.
18. The Scientific Method
A set of prescribed procedures for establishing
and connecting theoretical statements about
events, for analyzing empirical evidence, and
for predicting events yet unknown;
techniques or procedures used to analyze
empirical evidence in an attempt to confirm
or disprove prior conceptions.
20. The Scientific Method
• In sum, the scientific method guides us
from the abstract nature of concepts and
propositions, to the empirical variables and
hypotheses, and to the testing and
verification of theory.
