This document discusses linking data across applications and the cloud. It covers infrastructure as a service, platform as a service, and software as a service models. Examples are given of linking data between applications like Google Docs, importing data into spreadsheets from the web, and creating new applications by mashing up data from multiple sources. The chapter presents emerging concepts like semantic search engines and knowledge engines that can understand language and infer meaning to provide more contextual results.
Elasticsearch – Introducing New Containerized MetricsLetsConnect
Want to see what’s happening in your Connections environment? Metrics are a key tool for understanding usage patterns, community activities and general adoption across the organization. In this session we will cover the introduction of a new metrics solution that we delivered for Connections 6 customers in late 2017 to replace Cognos. Get the details on migration, installation and a roadmap for what we are working to add in 2018.
Data fusion tools combine data from different heterogeneous sources together to provide more efficient representation
of data.
Data fusion tools aim to associate textual and/or spatial data in different structures from different sources in terms of
geometry. Additionally process of data from multiple image sources is achieved by Data fusion services.
Integrating Excel Files in Visual FusionIDV Solutions
Visual Fusion makes it easy for users to upload Excel files into SharePoint and then geocode the items within each Excel file so that they can be combined with other enterprise and cloud-based data in a highly visual composite application. Often it is advantageous to apply advanced filtering and styling to Excel file content for enhanced communication to the end user, and in these cases Visual Fusion Server (VFS) connects to Excel files stored in SharePoint in order to run the items in that file through the VFS styling engine. In this way both Excel files are greatly enhanced as communication tools to users.

ALT-F1.BE : The Accelerator (Google Cloud Platform)Abdelkrim Boujraf
The Accelerator is an IT infrastructure able to collect and analyze a massive amount of public data on the WWW.
The Accelerator leverages the untapped potential of web data with the first solution designed for diverse sectors,
completely scalable, available on-premise, and cloud-provider agnostic.
[This is work presented at SIGMOD'13.]
The use of large-scale data mining and machine learning has proliferated through the adoption of technologies such as Hadoop, with its simple programming semantics and rich and active ecosystem. This paper presents LinkedIn's Hadoop-based analytics stack, which allows data scientists and machine learning researchers to extract insights and build product features from massive amounts of data. In particular, we present our solutions to the "last mile" issues in providing a rich developer ecosystem. This includes easy ingress from and egress to online systems, and managing workflows as production processes. A key characteristic of our solution is that these distributed system concerns are completely abstracted away from researchers. For example, deploying data back into the online system is simply a 1-line Pig command that a data scientist can add to the end of their script. We also present case studies on how this ecosystem is used to solve problems ranging from recommendations to news feed updates to email digesting to descriptive analytical dashboards for our members.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
