Enterprise-Grade Trust: Collaboration Without CompromiseRobb Boyd
In today’s agile work environment, customers need to collaborate in real time with partners, vendors, and customers, and they want the best collaboration tools possible. At the same time, they’re cognisant of potential accidental or intentional misuse of data and malicious attacks – and the ramifications they can have for their company’s finances and reputation.
Cisco provides best-in-class collaboration tools with true end-to-end encryption that enable secure cross-company collaboration. Find out more about the six considerations for collaboration security and the new Cisco Webex Extended Security Pack – which provides a full-functionality Cisco Cloudlock cloud access security broker for Webex Teams with native Webex anti-malware capabilities powered by Cisco Talos ClamAV.

Data at rest, data in motion - regardless of its trajectory, data remains the lifeblood of today's information economy. But finding a way to bridge old systems with new opportunities requires an innovative data strategy, one that takes advantage of multiple processing technologies. With the optimal architecture in place, companies can harness years of work in traditional information systems, while opening the door to the flood of new data sources available.
Register for this episode of The Briefing Room to learn from veteran Analyst Dr. Robin Bloor, as he explains how data virtualization and other data technologies fundamentally change what's possible with data access, movement and analysis. He'll be briefed by David Besemer of Cisco, who will discuss how this new kind of data strategy can enable the integration of legacy systems, Cloud computing and the Internet of Things. He'll also answer questions about how Big Data and the IoT are helping to redefine the practice of data management.

Today's digital enterprises are seeing an explosion of data at the edge. The Internet of Everything is fast approaching a critical mass that will demand a sea change in how companies process data. This new world of information is widely distributed, streaming, and overall becoming too big to move. Experts predict that within two to three years, the bulk of analytic processing will take place on the fringes of information architectures. As a result, forward-thinking companies are dramatically shifting their analytic strategies.
Register for this episode of The Briefing Room to hear veteran Analyst Mark Madsen of Third Nature explain how a new era of information architectures is now unfolding, paving the way to much more responsive and agile business models. He'll be briefed by Kim Macpherson of the Cisco Data and Analytics Business Unit, who will explain how her company's platform is uniquely suited for this new, federated analytic paradigm. She'll demonstrate how edge analytics can help companies address opportunities quickly and effectively.

Slides: Why You Need End-to-End Data Quality to Build Trust in KafkaDATAVERSITY
By adopting streaming architectures like Apache Kafka as a way to ingest and move large amounts of data very quickly, organizations are making major investments to access real-time data – and fundamentally changing how they do business. However, the advantages of Kafka can quickly be outweighed by the threat of poor Data Quality. Without Data Quality, all of the time and resources spent in building a new framework will fail to return the benefits that a Kafka platform offers.
Join Infogix’s Jeff Brown as he shares how data trust in your Kafka streaming framework is achievable when you put the proper validations and Data Quality components in place.
In this webinar, you’ll learn:
• Why organizations are moving to a streaming-based architecture
• What challenges are being faced when adopting Kafka messages as a new system-to-system communication method
• How to build data trust within your organization and its streaming framework
• Key directions on how to reconcile, balance, validate, and apply Data Quality to your streaming Data Architecture
• What customers are saying about their Kafka investment and how they’re working with Infogix to deliver data trust
The starting point for this project was a MapReduce application that processed log files produced by the support portal. This application was running on Hadoop with Ruby Wukong. At the time of the project start it was underperforming and did not show good scalability. This made the case for redesigning it using Spark with Scala and Java.
Initial review of the Ruby code revealed that it was using disk IO excessively, in order to communicate between MapReduce jobs. Each job was implemented as a separate script passing large data volumes through. Spark is more efficient in managing intermediate data passed between MapReduce jobs – not only it keeps it in memory whenever possible, it often eliminates the need for intermediate data at all. However, that alone not brought us much improvement since there were additional bottlenecks at data aggregation stages.
The application involved a global data ordering step, followed by several localized aggregation steps. This first global sort required significant data shuffle that was inefficient. Spark allowed us to partition the data and convert a single global sort into many local sorts, each running on a single node and not exchanging any data with other nodes. As a result, several data processing steps started to fit into node memory, which brought about a tenfold performance improvement.

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.
