Big Data, We Have a Communication Problem
by Daniel Tunkelang
Presented on April 30, 2013 at the TTI/Vanguard Conference on Ginormous Systems
http://www.ttivanguard.com/conference/2013/ginormous.html
It's a cliché that we live in a world of Big Data. But the bottleneck in understanding data is not computational. Rather, the biggest challenge is designing technical solutions that effectively leverage human cognitive ability. Data analysis systems should augment people's capabilities rather than replace them. This argument is as old as computer science itself: in 1962, Doug Engelbart said that the goal of technology is “the enhancement of human intellect by increasing the capability of a human to approach a complex problem situation.” Algorithms extract signal from raw data, but people fill in the gaps, creating models and evaluating analyses.
Empowering people to understand data is not just a surface problem of building better interfaces and visualizations. We need to interact with data not only after performing computational analysis, but throughout the analysis process in order to improve our models and algorithms. In order to do so, we need tools and processes specifically designed to offer people transparency, guidance, and control.
Human-computer information retrieval has been revolutionizing our approach to information seeking -- no modern search engine limits users to black-box relevance ranking and ten blue links. We need to take similar steps in our analysis of big data, making people the center of the analysis process and developing the technical innovations that enable people to fulfill this role.

Where are we going? Most startups overestimate potential while at the same time having a too narrow understanding of the customer, other cultures and the future landscape of the industry ecosystem. This presentation share three tools to think wider and smarter about the future. In 1980s the movie back to the future took us 30 years into the future to 2015. Now is the the to rethink where we are going in the coming 30 years.

What is NLP? (Neurolinguistic Programming)Jacob Laguerre
This presentation is about Neurolinguistic Programming or NLP for short. NLP was founded by John Grinder and Richard Bandler, back in the 1970s and has since, spread all over the world. Richard has defined NLP as "an attitude, backed by a methodology, that leaves behind a trail of techniques". It is through the use of this novel technology that average people learn how to "run their own brains" and create a subjective reality that enables them to become all that they can be.

Security Is Like An Onion, That's Why It Makes You CryMichele Chubirka
Why is the security industry so full of fail? We spend millions of dollars on firewalls, IPS, IDS, DLP, professional penetration tests and assessments, vulnerability and compliance tools and at the end of the day, the weakest link is the user and his or her inability to make the right choices. It's enough to make a security engineer cry. The one thing you can depend upon in an enterprise is that many of our users, even with training, will still make the wrong choices. They still click on links they shouldn't, respond to phishing scams, open documents without thinking, post too much information on Twitter and Facebook, use their pet's name as passwords, etc'. But what if this isn't because users hate us or are too stupid? What if all our complaints about not being heard and our instructions regarding the best security practices have more to do with our failure to understand modern neuroscience and the human mind's resistance to change?
Humans Aren’t Computers: Effective Management Strategies for IT LeadersMichele Chubirka
IT leaders are expected to break down silos between different technology teams, get end users to understand and embrace policies, and forge productive relationships with their counterparts on the business side of the organization. This is harder than it sounds, because while people can behave rationally, they can also be governed by emotions such as frustration and fear of change. They can be driven by ego, a bad attitude, or simple ignorance. They can cause conflict that can disrupt professional relationships, drag down a team or even poison an entire department. Unfortunately for technical-minded leaders, there’s no Python script to program company-wide collaboration and harmony and get everyone to sing Kumbaya. We have to learn how to build healthy relationships with employees, drive engagement, and understand how to resolve conflicts using practical, effective strategies.

Hello, my name's Camille and I steal insights from cognitive scientists around me, to help you avoid common traps in decision making.
Everyone of us wants to become smarter individually, but there's only so much we can do alone.
However, there is HUGE room for improvement when it comes to groups and how they collaborate.
Some fascinating research has been conducted into group IQ by MIT researchers Thomas Malone and Anita Williams Woolley.

Humans are wired to be emotional beings. Emotions influence most of our decisions, good and bad.

What is creativity, anyway?
“Creativity is the ability to produce work that is both novel and appropriate”

“Humans are animals that specialize in thinking and knowing, and our extraordinary cognitive abilities have transformed every aspect of our lives. In contrast to our chimpanzee cousins and Stone Age ancestors, we are complex political, economic, scientific and artistic creatures, living in a vast range of habitats, many of which are our own creation.”

'Happiness As Quality Measurement' by Jeroen de CockTEST Huddle
Professors from around the world discover happiness as new topic for their studies. In the IT world we also hear often that we have to bring happiness to the client, project leader, developers, users, ...In short: quality of life (another description for happiness) has a lot of studies to offer. They are based on psychology, sociology and the world of
medicine.
During our trip through the world of 'quality of life' we try to bring the quality to the software testing life. We learn about our reptilian brain and why it can be stronger than the work of a complete development team. We find out how to translate The Popsicle Index to the testing world. We learn how the 'zero tolerance for digital failure' and '"good enough" technology' go together in the New Normal.Discover how past experiences with an IT application influences our future thoughts and quality view on it.
We also build on 'mindfulness' (which comes from the world of healing of deeply depressed people) because we all feel depressed sometimes in the development lifecycle of a software project. Come with a beginner's mind to this refreshing session about everything you didn't know about quality in real life. So you can implement it in the software testing life!

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.
