Big Data Analytics and its Application in E-CommerceUyoyo Edosio
Abstract-This era unlike any, is faced with explosive
growth in the size of data generated/captured. Data
growth has undergone a renaissance, influenced
primarily by ever cheaper computing power and
the ubiquity of the internet. This has led to a
paradigm shift in the E-commerce sector; as data is
no longer seen as the byproduct of their business
activities, but as their biggest asset providing: key
insights to the needs of their customers, predicting
trends in customer’s behavior, democratizing of
advertisement to suits consumers varied taste, as
well as providing a performance metric to assess the
effectiveness in meeting customers’ needs.
This paper presents an overview of the unique
features that differentiate big data from traditional
datasets. In addition, the application of big data
analytics in the E-commerce and the various
technologies that make analytics of consumer data
possible is discussed.
Further this paper will present some case studies of
how leading Ecommerce vendors like Amazon.com,
Walmart Inc, and Adidas apply Big Data analytics in
their business strategies/activities to improve their
competitive advantage. Lastly we identify some
challenges these E-commerce vendors face while
implementing big data analytic

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2. Data Mining
New buzzword, old idea.
Inferring new information from already
collected data.
Traditionally job of Data Analysts
Computers have changed this.
Far more efficient to comb through data using
a machine than eyeballing statistical data.
3. Data Mining – Two Main Components
Wikipedia definition: “Data mining is the entire process of applying
computer-based methodology, including new techniques for knowledge
discovery, from data.”
Knowledge Discovery
Concrete information gleaned from known data. Data you may not have
known, but which is supported by recorded facts.
(ie: Diapers and beer example from previous presentation)
Knowledge Prediction
Uses known data to forecast future trends, events, etc. (ie: Stock market
predictions)
Wikipedia note: "some data mining systems such as neural networks are
inherently geared towards prediction and pattern recognition, rather than
knowledge discovery.“ These include applications in AI and Symbol
analysis
4. Data Mining vs. Data Analysis
In terms of software and the marketing thereof
Data Mining != Data Analysis
Data Mining implies software uses some intelligence
over simple grouping and partitioning of data to
infer new information.
Data Analysis is more in line with standard statistical
software (ie: web stats). These usually present
information about subsets and relations within the
recorded data set (ie: browser/search engine usage,
average visit time, etc. )
5. Data Mining Subtypes
Data Dredging
The process of scanning a data set for relations and then
coming up with a hypothesis for existence of those relations.
MetaData
Data that describes other data. Can describe an individual
element, or a collection of elements.
Wikipedia example: “In a library, where the data is the
content of the titles stocked, metadata about a title would
typically include a description of the content, the author, the
publication date and the physical location”
Applications for Data Dredging in business include Market
and Risk Analysis, as well as trading strategies.
Applications for Science include disaster prediction.
6. Propositional vs. Relational Data
Old data mining methods relied on Propositional Data, or data
that was related to a single, central element, that could be
represented in a vector format. (ie: the purchasing history of a
single user. Amazon uses such vectors in its related item
suggestions [a multidimensional dot product])
Current, advanced data mining methods rely on Relational
Data, or data that can be stored and modeled easily through
use of relational databases. An example of this would be data
used to represent interpersonal relations.
Relational Data is more interesting than Propositional data to
miners in the sense that an entity, and all the entities to which
it is related, factor into the data inference process.
7. Key Component of Data Mining
Whether Knowledge Discovery or Knowledge
Prediction, data mining takes information that was
once quite difficult to detect and presents it in an
easily understandable format (ie: graphical or
statistical)
Data mining Techniques involve sophisticated
algorithms, including Decision Tree Classifications,
Association detection, and Clustering.
Since Data mining is not on test, I will keep things
superficial.
8. Uses of Data Mining
AI/Machine Learning
Combinatorial/Game Data Mining
Good for analyzing winning strategies to games, and thus
developing intelligent AI opponents. (ie: Chess)
Business Strategies
Market Basket Analysis
Identify customer demographics, preferences, and purchasing
patterns.
Risk Analysis
Product Defect Analysis
Analyze product defect rates for given plants and predict
possible complications (read: lawsuits) down the line.
9. Uses of Data Mining (Continued)
User Behavior Validation
Fraud Detection
In the realm of cell phones
Comparing phone activity to calling records.
Can help detect calls made on cloned phones.
Similarly, with credit cards, comparing
purchases with historical purchases. Can
detect activity with stolen cards.
10. Uses of Data Mining (Continued)
Health and Science
Protein Folding
Predicting protein interactions and functionality within
biological cells. Applications of this research include
determining causes and possible cures for Alzheimers,
Parkinson's, and some cancers (caused by protein "misfolds")
Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence
Scanning Satellite receptions for possible transmissions from
other planets.
For more information see Stanford’s Folding@home and
SETI@home projects. Both involve participation in a widely
distributed computer application.
11. Sources of Data for Mining
Databases (most obvious)
Text Documents
Computer Simulations
Social Networks
12. Privacy Concerns
Mining of public and government databases is done,
though people have, and continue to raise concerns.
Wiki quote:
"data mining gives information that would not be
available otherwise. It must be properly interpreted
to be useful. When the data collected involves
individual people, there are many questions
concerning privacy, legality, and ethics."
13. Prevalence of Data Mining
Your data is already being mined, whether you like it or not.
Many web services require that you allow access to your information [for
data mining] in order to use the service.
Google mines email data in Gmail accounts to present account owners
with ads.
Facebook requires users to allow access to info from non-Facebook pages.
Facebook privacy policy:
"We may use information about you that we collect from other sources,
including but not limited to newspapers and Internet sources such as
blogs, instant messaging services and other users of Facebook, to
supplement your profile.
This allows access to your blog RSS feed (rather innocuous), as well as
information obtained through partner sites (worthy of concern).
14. Data Mining Controversies
Latest one: Facebook's Beacon Advertising program
(Just popped on Slashdot within the last week)
What Beacon does:
“when you engage in consumer activity at a
[Facebook] partner website, such as Amazon, eBay,
or the New York Times, not only will Facebook
record that activity, but your Facebook connections
will also be informed of your purchases or actions.”
[taken from
http://trickytrickywhiteboy.blogspot.com/2007/11/be
ware-of-facebooks-beacon.html]
15. Controversies continued
Implications: "Thus where Facebook used to be collecting data only
within the confines of its own website, it will now extend that ability to
harvest data across other websites that it partners with. Some of the
companies that have signed on to participate on the advertising side
include Coca-Cola, Sony, Verizon, Comcast, Ebay — and the CBC. The
initial list of 44 partner websites participating on the data collection side
include the New York Times, Blockbuster, Amazon, eBay, LiveJournal,
and Epicurious.”
[Remember the privacy policy on the previous slide]
Verdict is still out. This may violate an old (100+ years) New York law
prohibiting advertising using endorsements without the endorsee’s
consent.
Facebook currently offers users no way to opt out of Beacon (once it has
been activated ?). Users can close the accounts, but account data is never
deleted.
16. Bottom Line
Data obtained through Data Mining is
incredibly valuable
Companies are understandably reluctant to
give up data they have obtained.
Expect to see prevalence of Data Mining and
(possibly subversive) methods increase in
years to come.
