Webinar: Enterprise Data Management in the Era of MongoDB and Data LakesMongoDB
With so much talk of how Big Data is revolutionizing the world and how a data lake with Hadoop and/or Spark will solve all your data problems, it is hard to tell what is hype, reality, or somewhere in-between.
In working with dozens of enterprises in varying stages of their enterprise data management (EDM) strategy, MongoDB enterprise architect, Matt Kalan, sees the same challenges and misunderstandings arise again and again.
In this session, he will explain common challenges in data management, what capabilities are necessary, and what the future state of architecture looks like. MongoDB is uniquely capable of filling common gaps in the data lake strategy.
This session also includes a live Q&A portion during which you are encouraged to ask questions of our team.
Knowledge graphs - it’s what all businesses now are on the lookout for. But what exactly is a knowledge graph and, more importantly, how do you get one? Do you get it as an out-of-the-box solution or do you have to build it (or have someone else build it for you)? With the help of our knowledge graph technology experts, we have created a step-by-step list of how to build a knowledge graph. It will properly expose and enforce the semantics of the semantic data model via inference, consistency checking and validation and thus offer organizations many more opportunities to transform and interlink data into coherent knowledge.

Technologies such as Hadoop have addressed the "Volume" problem of Big Data, and technologies such as Spark have recently addressed the "Velocity" problem – but the "Variety" problem is largely unaddressed – there is a lot of manual "data wrangling" to mange data models.
These manual processes do not scale well. Not only is the variety of data increasing, also the rate of change in the data definitions is increasing. We can’t keep up. NoSQL data repositories can handle storage, but we need effective models of the data to fully utilize it.
This talk will present tools and a methodology to manage Big Data Models in a rapidly changing world. This talk covers:
Creating Semantic Metadata Models of Big Data Resources
Graphical UI Tools for Big Data Models
Tools to synchronize Big Data Models and Application Code
Using NoSQL Databases, such as Amazon DynamoDB, with Big Data Models
Using Big Data Models with Hadoop, Storm, Spark, Giraph, and Inference
Using Big Data Models with Machine Learning to generate Predictive Models
Developer Collaborative/Coordination processes using Big Data Models and Git

Big Graph Analytics on Neo4j with Apache SparkKenny Bastani
In this talk I will introduce you to a Docker container that provides you an easy way to do distributed graph processing using Apache Spark GraphX and a Neo4j graph database. You'll learn how to analyze big data graphs that are exported from Neo4j and consequently updated from the results of a Spark GraphX analysis. The types of analysis I will be talking about are PageRank, connected components, triangle counting, and community detection.
Database technologies have evolved to be able to store big data, but are largely inflexible. For complex graph data models stored in a relational database there may be tedious transformations and shuffling around of data to perform large scale analysis.
Fast and scalable analysis of big data has become a critical competitive advantage for companies. There are open source tools like Apache Hadoop and Apache Spark that are providing opportunities for companies to solve these big data problems in a scalable way. Platforms like these have become the foundation of the big data analysis movement.

"Big Data" is big business, but what does it really mean? How will big data impact industries and consumers? This slide deck goes through some of the high level details of the market and how it is revolutionizing the world.

As more businesses realised that data, in all forms and sizes, is critical to making the best possible decisions, we see the continued growth of systems that support massive volume of non-relational or unstructured forms of data. Nothing shows the picture more starkly than the Gartner Magic quadrant for operational database management systems, which assumes that, by 2017, all leading operational DBMSs will offer multiple data models, relational and NoSQL, in a single DBMS platform. Having a single data platform for managing both well-structured data and NoSQL data is beneficial to users; this approach reduces significantly integration, migration, development, maintenance, and operational issues. Therefore, a challenging research work is how to develop efficient consolidated single data management platform covering both relational data and NoSQL to reduce integration issues, simplify operations, and eliminate migration issues.
In this tutorial, we review the previous work on multi-model data management and provide the insights on the research challenges and directions for future work.

Gain New Insights by Analyzing Machine Logs using Machine Data Analytics and BigInsights.
Half of Fortune 500 companies experience more than 80 hours of system down time annually. Spread evenly over a year, that amounts to approximately 13 minutes every day. As a consumer, the thought of online bank operations being inaccessible so frequently is disturbing. As a business owner, when systems go down, all processes come to a stop. Work in progress is destroyed and failure to meet SLA’s and contractual obligations can result in expensive fees, adverse publicity, and loss of current and potential future customers. Ultimately the inability to provide a reliable and stable system results in loss of $$$’s. While the failure of these systems is inevitable, the ability to timely predict failures and intercept them before they occur is now a requirement.
A possible solution to the problem can be found is in the huge volumes of diagnostic big data generated at hardware, firmware, middleware, application, storage and management layers indicating failures or errors. Machine analysis and understanding of this data is becoming an important part of debugging, performance analysis, root cause analysis and business analysis. In addition to preventing outages, machine data analysis can also provide insights for fraud detection, customer retention and other important use cases.
AI from your data lake: Using Solr for analyticsDataWorks Summit
Introductory technical session on Apache Solr's (HDP Search) artificial intelligence and machine learning features to discover relationships and insights across big data in the enterprise. Discussions will include how Solr performs graph traversal, anomaly detection, NLP and time-series analysis, and how you can display this data to users with easy-to-create dashboards.
This technical session will review Apache Solr’s streaming expressions, which were introduced in Solr 6.5. With over 100 expressions and evaluators, conditional logic, variables and data structures these functions form the basis of a new paradigm that brings many of the features from the relational world into search. These new capabilities form the basis of a powerful functional programming language that enables the implementation of many parallel computing use cases such as anomaly detection, streaming NLP, graph traversal and time-series analysis.
In order to discover and analyze big data, third party tools such as Jupyter, Tableau, and Lucidworks Insights will be reviewed.

Big data architectures and the data lakeJames Serra
With so many new technologies it can get confusing on the best approach to building a big data architecture. The data lake is a great new concept, usually built in Hadoop, but what exactly is it and how does it fit in? In this presentation I'll discuss the four most common patterns in big data production implementations, the top-down vs bottoms-up approach to analytics, and how you can use a data lake and a RDBMS data warehouse together. We will go into detail on the characteristics of a data lake and its benefits, and how you still need to perform the same data governance tasks in a data lake as you do in a data warehouse. Come to this presentation to make sure your data lake does not turn into a data swamp!
Data Con LA 2020
Description
Apache Druid is a cloud-native open-source database that enables developers to build highly-scalable, low-latency, real-time interactive dashboards and apps to explore huge quantities of data. This column-oriented database provides the microsecond query response times required for ad-hoc queries and programmatic analytics. Druid natively streams data from Apache Kafka (and more) and batch loads just about anything. At ingestion, Druid partitions data based on time so time-based queries run significantly faster than traditional databases, plus Druid offers SQL compatibility. Druid is used in production by AirBnB, Nielsen, Netflix and more for real-time and historical data analytics. This talk provides an introduction to Apache Druid including: Druid's core architecture and its advantages, Working with streaming and batch data in Druid, Querying data and building apps on Druid and Real-world examples of Apache Druid in action

Is the traditional data warehouse dead?James Serra
With new technologies such as Hive LLAP or Spark SQL, do I still need a data warehouse or can I just put everything in a data lake and report off of that? No! In the presentation I’ll discuss why you still need a relational data warehouse and how to use a data lake and a RDBMS data warehouse to get the best of both worlds. I will go into detail on the characteristics of a data lake and its benefits and why you still need data governance tasks in a data lake. I’ll also discuss using Hadoop as the data lake, data virtualization, and the need for OLAP in a big data solution. And I’ll put it all together by showing common big data architectures.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
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.

26. Pull Model Push Model
● Periodically update the index by pulling from
the system (e.g. database) via crawlers.
● Onus of integration lays on data graph
● No interface to prescribe, hard to maintain
crawlers
● The system (e.g. DB) pushes to a message
bus which downstream subscribes to.
● Onus of integration lies on database
● Message format serves as the interface
● Allows for near-real time indexing

Preferred if
● Near-real time indexing is important
● Clean interface doesn’t exist
● Other tools like Wherehows are moving
towards Push Model
Preferred if
● Waiting for indexing is ok
● Working with “strapped” teams
● There’s already an interface

42. Discovery Curation
Guidelines on:
- Where to store
data
- How to name
tables, dashes,
columns, etc.
Challenges
- How much do we push
for guidelines vs. just make
it discoverable?
43. Discovery Security
- Provide data &
metadata only on
a per need basis
Challenges
- Do we hide the existence
of a data set?
- Do expose metadata
regardless of whether the
data scientist has access
to the data?
