In a world grappling with the unprecedented challenges brought on by climate change and emerging health concerns, the Big Data for Migration Alliance recently unveiled "Harnessing Data Innovation for Migration Policy: A Handbook for Practitioners," a transformative resource that sheds new light on the complex dynamics of migration through the lens of non-traditional data sources.
This unveiling event occurred at the Egmont Institute in Brussels.
The handbook stands as a bridge, seamlessly connecting practical and technical realms, unearthing innovative methodologies, and promoting a deeper understanding of data ethics, protection, and governance. It is the result of a collaboration between the IOM’s Global Migration Data Analysis Centre, the European Commission’s Knowledge Centre on Migration and Demography, and The GovLab at New York University.
Big data: uncovering new mobility patterns and redefining planning practicesMickael Pero
Using representations and data that are digital, we can create images about what happens where and when in cities, including mobility patterns that remained unaccounted until now. If properly analysed, big data for mobility can radically improve the socioeconomic and environmental analysis of public and sustainable transport. This session will discuss how big data is affecting mobility in terms of new travel behaviour and transport planning. At the user level, the relations between social networks, social media usage and travel behaviour in EU countries will be discussed. Scientific insight on the social media usage of millennial students in EU countries to understand their impact on social activities and mobility in urban areas will be presented. At the planer level, responses to changes in mobility patterns or unaccounted needs given by the analysis of public transport smart data will be presented. Advances on an integrated accessibility index will be discussed as a way for policy makers to improve current transport planning practices. Yet, big data in transport is not immune from some problems, especially those relating to statistical validity, bias and incorrectly imputed causality. This point will be discussed alongside liability, since Big data is gathered and manipulated by many different stakeholders. The proposed panel discussion therefore aims to provide to the audience a clear understanding on ways in which big data affects travel behaviour and transport planning, while accounting for data quality and pan European standardisation aspects.
Large scale crowd simulation and visualization combine computer graphics, artificial intelligence and high performance computing among other areas. This presentation gives an overview of our approach for computing people flows moving in urban spaces. This is done by combining on-line crowd simulation, spatio-temporal data, and real places geometric data running on GPU and HPC.

Responsible Data for Children Training_PublicSlides_110922.pdfStefaan Verhulst
The Responsible Data for Children (RD4C) initiative—a collaboration between The GovLab and UNICEF to promote the more responsible handling of data for and about children—has spent much of 2022 developing ways to socialize and operationalize the principles that put the best interests of children and a child rights approach at the center of our data activities.. From publishing new case studies that provide detail on what a responsible data approach looks like in action to supporting UNICEF and UNHCR country offices in helping them implement a responsible data for children approach to their operations to expanding its offerings in different languages, we’ve sought to help organizations understand what responsible data for children means and how they can realize it in their day-to-day operations.
Today, RD4C is continuing this work with self-guided training. Based on the tutorials offered to UNICEF staff in early 2022, these slides are a resource for organizations seeking to understand ways to operationalize the RD4C principles and implement the RD4C tools.

Data Collaboration and Stewardship for the Blue EconomyStefaan Verhulst
The presentation covers: Introduction to data collaboratives, a new form of collaboration, beyond the public-private partnership model, in which participants from different sectors exchange their data to create public value.
Focus on 3 types of data collaboratives that areparticularly relevant to the audience of ocean data professionals: Trusted Intermediaries; Data Pools; and Research and Analysis Partnerships.
Goverannce of Data Collaboratives leveraging the “Four Ps”:
Purpose: What is the purpose/mission of the data collaborative beyond providing access to data? Purpose can be organizational, relating to the functions of a larger institution, or an issue of data access, relating to the reasons for data access.
Principles: What norms and attitudes will inform decisions and data handling? Like Purpose, principles can be organizational, relating to how an institution governs itself and its projects, or a matter of data access, relating to how an institution governs its data.
Processes: What kinds of design-making processes are needed to ensure an organization can act on its principles to meet the purpose?
Practices: What is needed to operationalize the principles?
Reimaginig Data Stewardship: Capacities and CompetenciesStefaan Verhulst
Presentation by Stefaan G. Verhulst (The GovLab) at the UN World Data Forum on how to enable the re-use of (non-traditional) data for and in the public interest (including for official statistics) by re-imaging data stewardship. The presentation subsequently focuses on five clusters of competencies and capacities needed to establish this new profession.
Considers several ways in which data can help philanthropic organizations improve their missions, as well as pathways toward making philanthropy more data-driven.
Broadly speaking, when analyzed responsibly data and data science can provide philanthropies with an improved analysis or understanding of the situation or problem; help predict future trends or help evaluate the impact of investments made.
This in turn can perfect the way philanthropies function in three broad ways:
First, having access to data and data science can influence the overall operations of philanthropies, making them run more efficiently.
Second, data can transform how philanthropies are governed, making them more accountable — a topic of major importance in the current philanthropic landscape.
Third, data can increase the impact of an organization’s mission by allowing them to make evidence-based decisions and continuously adjust their activities to take account of realities on the ground.
Better Data for Better Policy: Opportunities and ChallengesStefaan Verhulst
Opening keynote presented at the Power from Statistics conference in Brussels, co-organized by Eurostat and the European Political Strategy Centre . The presentation focuses on the importance of data to inform and ultimately transform the full policy cycle. In addition, a key premise that is examined throughout the presentation is the need to access, utilize and find insight in the vast reams of data and data expertise that exist in private hands through the creation of new kinds of public and private partnerships or “data collaboratives” to establish more agile and data-driven policy making.
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.
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.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.
