Prepping the Analytics organization for Artificial Intelligence evolutionRamkumar Ravichandran
This is a discussion document to be used at the Big Data Spain at Madrid on Nov 18th, 2016. The key takeaway from the deck is that AI is reality and much closer than we realize. It will impact our Analytics Community in a very different way vs. an average Consumer. We can shape and guide the revolution if we start preparing for it now - right from our mindset, design thinking principles and productization of Analytics (API-zation). AI is a need to address the problems of scale, speed, precision in the world that is getting more and more complex around us - it is not humanly possible to answer all the questions ourselves and we will need machines to do it for us. The flow of the story line begins with a reality check on popular misconceptions and some background on AI. It then delves into all the ways it can optimize the current flow and ends with the "Managing Innovation Playbook" a set of three steps that should guide our innovation programs - Strategy, Execution & Transformation, i.e., the principles that tell us what we want to get out of it, how to get it done and finally how much the benefits permanent and consistently improving.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule

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.

“U.S. CIOs expect their external IT budgets to
increase 4.8 percent this year -- compared with a
5.2 percent increase in 2013 -- while European
CIOs expect a 3.7 percent increase, compared with
a 3.5 percent increase in 2013…
Projects that will see the largest percentage
increases in spending this year will involve
cloud computing and data analysis.”
