Big Data Decision-Making
Gayatri Patel, eBay, presents at the Big Analytics 2012 Roadshow
The wonders of what data can do for an organization is measured in the productivity and competitiveness of their team's decisions. Some believe more data is the key. Agreed...but good decisions require more than just deriving intelligence from big data. In this dynamic market, the need to socialize and evolve ideas with other teams, quickly correlate information across sources, and test ideas to fail fast early are strong enablers to gain competitive footing. eBay¹s analytic and technology advancements garners insights and approaches that continue to help our employees tell their "data stories" and make better decisions.
Using Data to Manage in Today’s Chaotic Environment
DJ Patil, Data Scientist, Greylock Partners, presents at the Big Analytics 2012 Roadshow in San Francisco.
The ability to manage and leverage data has never been more critical to business. At the same time, the volume and types of data have grown dramatically in the past few years. The choices for technologies, people, and processes are complex. In this keynote session, Dr.DJ Patil will talk about how to manage through all this chaos.
What Makes A Great Data Scientist?
Bill Franks, Chief Analytics Officer, Teradata, presents at the 2012 Big Analytics Roadshow.
As enterprises come to understand the value of analytics, more support and funding is being allocated to build these departments. Managers are now faced with the challenge of who to hire. What exactly makes a great analytic professional? Is a Data Scientist a "must have"? Should a candidate have a PhD? Is prior experience in a specific industry vital? Just what is the right fit when creating a successful team? The answers to these questions are still unclear as the value of analytics continues to grow.
In this session, Bill Franks, author of the book, Taming the Big Data Tidal Wave, addresses these and many more questions as he defines the characteristics of high-performing data scientists and great analytics teams.
Practical Applications of Visual Analytics
Dustin Smith, Community Manager, Tableau Software, presents at the 2012 Big Analytics Roadshow.
Organizations now have the ability to store and process massive amounts of data like never before. And there are huge expectations for turning data into a fundamental driver for business transformation and competitive advantage.
Visual analytics is helping everyday employees gain insight into data in order to solve unexpected problems and challenges, it is changing the way people interact with data and the way business intelligence is defined in organizations. In this presentation, we will share real-world examples of how everyday people can and are using visual analytics to solve some of businesses most challenging issues.
Trust and Influence in the Complex Network of Social Media
William Rand, University of Maryland, presents at the 2012 Big Analytics Roadshow.
The dramatic feature of social media is that it gives everyone a voice; anyone can speak out and express their opinion to a crowd of followers with little or no cost or effort, which creates a loud and potentially overwhelming marketplace of ideas. The good news is that the organizations have more data than ever about what their consumers are saying about their brand. The bad news is that this huge amount of data is difficult to sift through. We will look at developing methods that can help sift through this torrent of data and examine important questions, such as who do users trust to provide them with the information and the recommendations that they want? Which tastemakers have the greatest influence on social media users? Using agent-based modeling, machine learning and network analysis we begin to examine and shed light on these questions and develop a deeper understanding of the complex system of social media.

Mohanbir Sawhney, Robert R. McCormick Tribune Foundation Clinical Professor of Technology Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University presents at the 2012 Big Analytics Roadshow.
Companies are drinking from a fire hydrant of data that is too big, moving too fast and is too diverse to be analyzed by conventional database systems. Big Data is like a giant gold mine with large quantities of ore that is difficult to extract. To get value out of Big Data, enterprises need a new mindset and a new set of tools.

Big Brands Meet Big Data – The Newest Innovator’s Dilemma
Marc Parrish, Vice President, Retention & Loyalty Marketing, Barnes & Noble, presents at the 2012 Big Analytics Roadshow.
Big Data is moving too fast for Big Brands. They don't have the ability to technically pivot, to move quickly enough to take advantage of the astounding amount of customer information that's available, and make it part of their everyday practices. This poses a great risk to the world’s great retailers. Well-managed companies often fail because the very same management practices that made them industry leaders also make it difficult to assimilate the disruptive technologies that in the end allow others to steal their market.
With Big Data, the gap between merely sustaining your operations, and adopting disruptive technologies, is the difference between progress, or perish.
Simplifying Big Data Analytics for the Business

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
