This document summarizes a project to map and analyze all swimming pools in Los Angeles using aerial imagery and crowdsourcing. The project began with over 17GB of aerial imagery of LA. Computer vision could not accurately identify pools, so pool shapes were traced through a crowdsourcing platform. Experts then reviewed the traces. Over 64,200 pools were initially identified, though the number decreased during quality reviews. Data on the pools was analyzed to find distributions of pool numbers and areas across LA neighborhoods. The results were visualized on an interactive map and in a video artwork depicting traveling between all the pools. The document discusses lessons learned about available data and tools and how others could build upon the project.
Leslie McIntosh is Director of Clinical Informatics at Washington University School of Medicine and co-leads the St. Louis Machine Learning Group. She’ll share how modeling systems of patients, research and outcomes provides evidence to guide care decisions, and how seeing them as social actors helps make sense of really big data.

Excel has evolved beyond simply calculating numbers and can now help users interact with and learn from all types of data. New features like Power Query, Power Pivot, Power View, and Power Map allow users to find, combine, and manage data to form theories, analyze insights, and refine understandings. Additionally, Excel now enables users to take action by operationalizing insights and collaborating with others, including on mobile devices. In the end, Excel provides a platform to work with big data, small data, and all data.

This diagram shows the transition from a parasite economy to a civilized economy between 2007-2020. A parasite economy relies on vendors, employees and competitors, while a civilized economy focuses on entrepreneurs, customers and creating value for others through mutual understanding and cooperation. By 2020, the choice is made on which path to follow.

This document discusses how to intentionally create and maintain a strong organizational culture. It recommends first creating awareness of desired cultural values through communication. Leaders should then help employees understand how their roles contribute to those values. Actions should be taken to reward behaviors that align with the culture and provide feedback to encourage further alignment. Hiring employees who naturally fit the culture and coaching others are also suggested for sustaining the cultural values over time.

Bob Henkel wants to share his thoughts on how packaging, processing, shipping, waste and chemical fertilizers can be radically reduced in our food system. His work around the country working with models of permaculture and "edible food forests" points to opportunities in perennial farming systems to have savings and healthy food flow to consumers while real and sustainable profits are earned by producers and entrepreneurs. Prepare to think differently about how food can nourish us physically, economically and socially.
Marc Bowers has successfully launched and managed home, garden and construction products for himself, private equity firms and multinational conglomerates. He's also on the board of Earthdance Farms and wants to make sure he leaves a legacy that isn't hard on the planet and future generations. Knowing that profit and making a difference can't come from "preaching to the choir," Marc is launching a vertical growing wall for the luxury home market. Learn from him why he chose this niche, why his product is poised for success, and how you can make a real difference expanding your concept of the market for sustainable products.
The document summarizes an art project by Tom Keene called "Uncertain Substance: The Viterbi Algorithm" where he explored the history and workings of the Viterbi algorithm by building devices like a primitive transmitter, software defined radio, and speech recognition system. The Viterbi algorithm is able to search radio waves for conversations about money by finding patterns in data without hearing every word, similar to how humans can understand speech in a noisy room through context. The project aimed to reveal how the algorithm operates outside of its original design intent and to take an open-ended, experimental approach to understanding this concept of control through technology.
Augmented reality allows users to see indirect digital elements overlaid on the real world through their mobile device's camera. Candylab uses augmented reality and location-based technologies to drive traffic to locations, enhance consumer experiences, and increase loyalty through rewards, games, and interactive promotions that are hyperlocal and target specific places. The platform allows for multifaceted marketing campaigns and real-time adjustments to connect users at certain locations and provide intimate interactions.
Matt Kulig is co-founder of Aisle 411, where they're growing a business around letting consumers find exactly where products are within stores. The data they build to do this has interesting implications as they begin to offer marketers the ability to communicate with consumers about finding the products they want in the stores nearest to them. Matt will help us see the un-tapped value for consumers, entrepreneurs, marketers and investors in location-based solutions.

This document discusses big data and how it affects various industries. It defines big data as large and complex datasets that are difficult to analyze with traditional tools. Big data is characterized by its volume, variety, and velocity. The document explains how big data can provide insights for marketers, tourism/hospitality, healthcare, urban development, disaster response, financial compliance, and more. It also discusses how big data can be used to create interactive art installations.
Democratizing Data for Neighborhood Revitalization
The document discusses how an increase in data and technology has both increased opportunities for data-driven community development but also risks excluding some communities from fully benefitting. It describes how one organization, RHCDA Community Development Partners, works to collect data from various public and private sources, clean and standardize the data, then conduct analysis and visualization to help engage residents and stakeholders to set priorities, design programs, and quantify their impact for neighborhood revitalization. Examples of the types of data include crime rates, property values, incomes, and transit access.
This document discusses how big data is driving opportunities for businesses across industries to capture, analyze, and predict customer behaviors to innovate, strengthen their brands, and increase profits. It provides examples of how companies in various sectors like engine manufacturing, healthcare, publishing, and sports are using big data and predictive analytics to improve customer experiences and business operations. The document also notes some ethical considerations around data usage including safety, privacy, and legality.
