Data warehousing involves integrating data from disparate sources into a central repository for business analytics and reporting. The data warehouse stores historical data separately from daily operations. Common warehouse schemas include star and snowflake, arranging dimensions and facts for simpler queries. Online analytical processing (OLAP) cubes represent these schemas to answer multi-dimensional queries swiftly with measures and dimensions. Reports are then generated from the analyzed data.
A few months back I spoke with some graduate students about "what is data warehousing". In this talk I covered the past, present, and probably future of what data warehousing is and how it can add value to a company.

Tor Hovland: Taking a swim in the big data lakeAnalyticsConf
Are you curious about the possibilities enabled by Microsoft Azure and Cortana Analytics? Come and see how to handle data input from a large number of “Internet of Things” devices, how to work with all the data, how to scale big computations, how to make predictions, and how to build applications on top of it. There will be demos!
When it comes to creating an enterprise AI strategy: if your company isn’t good at analytics, it’s not ready for AI. Succeeding in AI requires being good at data engineering AND analytics. Unfortunately, management teams often assume they can leapfrog best practices for basic data analytics by directly adopting advanced technologies such as ML/AI – setting themselves up for failure from the get-go. This presentation explains how to get basic data engineering and the right technology in place to create and maintain data pipelines so that you can solve problems with AI successfully.

The Data Warehouse is a database which merges, summarizes and analyzes all data sources of a company/organization. Users can request particular data from the system (such the number of sales within a certain period) and will be provided with the respective information.
With the help of the Data Warehouse, you can quickly access different systems and look at historic data. Due to the vast amount of data it provides, the Data Warehouse is an essential tool when making management decisions.

Predictive Analytics Project in Automotive IndustryMatouš Havlena
Original article: http://www.havlena.net/en/business-analytics-intelligence/predictive-analytics-project-in-automotive-industry/
I had a chance to work on a predictive analytics project for a US car manufacturer. The goal of the project was to evaluate the feasibility to use Big Data analysis solutions for manufacturing to solve different operational needs. The objective was to determine a business case and identify a technical solution (vendor). Our task was to analyze production history data and predict car inspection failures from the production line. We obtained historical data on defects on the car, how the car moved along the assembly line and car specific information like engine type, model, color, transmission type, and so on. The data covered the whole manufacturing history for one year. We used IBM BigInsights and SPSS Modeler to make the predictions.
Let's dive deeper into the world of ODC! Ricardo Alves (OutSystems) will join us to tell all about the new Data Fabric. After that, Sezen de Bruijn (OutSystems) will get into the details on how to best design a sturdy architecture within ODC.

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.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
3. Data warehouse
Data warehouse is a database used for reporting and data
analysis. It is a central repository of data which is created by
integrating data from one or more disparate sources.
Data warehouse is a pool of historical data that doesn’t
participate in the daily operations of the organization.
Instead, this data is purposefully used for business analytics.
4.
5. Warehouse schemas - star
● Data in DW is arranged into hierarchical
groups called dimensions and into facts
● The simplest style of DW schema.
● Consists of one or more fact tables
referencing any number of dimension tables.
● Special case of the snowflake schema, and is more effective for
handling simpler queries.
6. Warehouse schemas - snowflake
● Multiple dimensions
● Star and snowflake schemas are most commonly found in
dimensional data warehouses and data marts where speed of data
retrieval is more important than the efficiency of data manipulations
● Don’t follow normal forms - speed tradeoff
7. OLAP cubes
● Online Analytical Processing
● An approach to answering multi-dimensional
queries swiftly
● Represents star schema or snowflake schema in a relational data
warehouse
● Each cell of the cube holds a number that represents some measure
of the business, such as sales, profits, expenses, budget and
forecast
● Measures are derived from the records in the fact table and
dimensions are derived from the dimension tables
● Operations: Slice and Dice, Drill-up and Drill-down, Roll-up
