Moving Past Infrastructure Limitations Presented by MediaMath
This presentation was given at a Big Data Warehousing Meetup with Caserta Concepts, MediaMath and Qubole. You can learn more about the event here: http://www.meetup.com/Big-Data-Warehousing/events/228372516/
Event description:
At Caserta Concepts, we are firm believers in big data thriving on the cloud. The instant-on, nearly unlimited storage and computing capabilities of AWS has made it the defacto solution for a full spectrum of organizations needing to process large amounts of data.
What's more, an ecosystem of value-added platforms has emerged to further ease and democratize the implementation of cloud based solutions. Qubole has developed a great platform for easily deploying and managing ephemeral and long-lived Hadoop and Spark clusters on AWS.
Moving Past Infrastructure Limitations: Data Warehousing at MediaMath
Over the past year and a half, MediaMath has undertaken a “data liberation” effort in an attempt to leave their bigbox, monolithic data warehouse behind. In this talk, Rory Sawyer, Software Engineer at MediaMath, will describe how this effort transformed MediaMath’s legacy architecture and legacy mindset, which imposed harsh inefficiencies on data sharing and utilization. The current mindset removes these inefficiencies and allows them to say “yes” to more projects and ideas.
Rory will also demo how MediaMath uses Amazon Web Services and Qubole so that infrastructure is no longer a limiting factor on what and how users query. This combination allows them to scale their resources up and down as needed while bridging different data sources and execution engines. Using and extending MediaMath’s data warehousing is no longer a privileged activity but an ability that every employee and client has.
DataOps: Nine steps to transform your data science impact Strata London May 18Harvinder Atwal
According to Forrester Research, only 22% of companies are currently seeing a significant return from data science expenditures. Most data science implementations are high-cost IT projects, local applications that are not built to scale for production workflows, or laptop decision support projects that never impact customers. Despite this high failure rate, we keep hearing the same mantra and solutions over and over again. Everybody talks about how to create models, but not many people talk about getting them into production where they can impact customers.
Harvinder Atwal offers an entertaining and practical introduction to DataOps, a new and independent approach to delivering data science value at scale, used at companies like Facebook, Uber, LinkedIn, Twitter, and eBay. The key to adding value through DataOps is to adapt and borrow principles from Agile, Lean, and DevOps. However, DataOps is not just about shipping working machine learning models; it starts with better alignment of data science with the rest of the organization and its goals. Harvinder shares experience-based solutions for increasing your velocity of value creation, including Agile prioritization and collaboration, new operational processes for an end-to-end data lifecycle, developer principles for data scientists, cloud solution architectures to reduce data friction, self-service tools giving data scientists freedom from bottlenecks, and more. The DataOps methodology will enable you to eliminate daily barriers, putting your data scientists in control of delivering ever-faster cutting-edge innovation for your organization and customers.

Why Everything You Know About bigdata Is A LieSunil Ranka
As a big data technologist, you can bet that you have heard it all: every crazy claim, myth, and outright lie about what big data is and what it isn't that you can imagine, and probably a few that you can't.If your company has a big data initiative or is considering one, you should be aware of these false statements and the reasons why they are wrong.
DataOps - Big Data and AI World London - March 2020 - Harvinder AtwalHarvinder Atwal
Title
DataOps, the secret weapon for delivering AI, data science, and business intelligence value at speed.
Synopsis
● According to recent research, just 7.3% of organisations say the state of their data and analytics is excellent, and only 22% of companies are currently seeing a significant return from data science expenditure.
● Poor returns on data & analytics investment are often the result of applying 20th-century thinking to 21st-century challenges and opportunities.
● Modern data science and analytics require secure, efficient processes to turn raw data from multiple sources and in numerous formats into useful inputs to a data product.
● Developing, orchestrating and iterating modern data pipelines is an extremely complex process requiring multiple technologies and skills.
● Other domains have to successfully overcome the challenge of delivering high-quality products at speed in complex environments. DataOps applies proven agile principles, lean thinking and DevOps practices to the development of data products.
● A DataOps approach aligns data producers, analytical data consumers, processes and technology with the rest of the organisation and its goals.

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.
