Mining the Social Web for Fun & Profit Within Your OrganizationDigital Reasoning
In this talk, Matthew Russell explores why it is imperative for organizations and companies to leverage social media and how they can do it. In today's world of massive, rapidly evolving data streams, it is very challenging to sift through the data and extract the hidden nuggets of critical business intelligence. With advances in machine learning and natural language processing, decision makers can now look at all of their data and see what's really important. Matthew presents examples of how companies like Digital Reasoning are using social media to answer questions like:
Who know whom, and what friends do they have in common?
How frequently are certain people communicating with one another?
Who are the quietest/chattiest people in a network?
Who are the most influential/popular people in a network?
What are people chatting about (and is it interesting)?

Dull, Difficult, and Essential: Managing Public RecordsPaul W. Taylor
Keynote to the 2015 Texas eRecords Conference: The unique attribute of public records cannot be overstated: Government is the holder of the singular, authoritative record to which all others refer. As the universe of public records grows in volume, complexity, and variety, policy makers and practitioners are in an unenviable position of managing it all. They are at the nexus of open and big data at a moment when analytics and other technologies hold promise for unlocking both public and private value. The addition of new forms of records - social media, sensors, and both dash and body cams - challenges old practices and assumptions while bringing new urgency to long-standing public policy debates around privacy and security.

Mining Social Web APIs with IPython Notebook (PyCon 2014)Matthew Russell
From the tutorial description at https://us.pycon.org/2014/schedule/presentation/134/ -
Description
Social websites such as Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Google+, and GitHub have vast amounts of valuable insights lurking just beneath the surface, and this workshop minimizes the barriers to exploring and mining this valuable data by presenting turn-key examples from the thoroughly revised 2nd Edition of Mining the Social Web.
Abstract
This workshop teaches you fundamental data mining techniques as applied to popular social websites by adapting example code from Mining the Social Web (2nd Edition, O'Reilly 2013) in a tutorial-style step-by-step manner that is designed specifically to accommodate attendees with very little programming or domain experience. This workshop's extensive use of IPython Notebook facilitates interactive learning with turn-key examples against a Vagrant-based virtual machine that takes care of installing all 3rd party dependencies that are needed. The barriers to entry are truly minimal, which allows maximal use of the time to be spent on interactive learning.
The workshop is somewhat broadly designed and acclimates you to mining social data from Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Google+, and GitHub APIs in five corresponding modules with the following memorable approach for each of them:
* Aspire - Set out to answer a question or test a hypothesis as part of a data science experiment
* Acquire - Collect and store the data that you need to answer the question or test the hypothesis
* Analyze - Use fundamental data mining techniques to explore and exploit the data
* Summarize - Present analytical findings in a compact and meaningful way
Each module consists of a brief period in which each attendee will customize the corresponding notebook for the module with their own account credentials with the remainder of the module devoted to learning what data is available from the API and exercises demonstrating analysis of the data—all from a pre-populated IPython Notebook. Time will be set aside at the end of each module for attendees to hack on the code, discuss examples, and ask any lingering questions.
What is the value of big data? How does a user get that value?

Industry of Things World - Berlin 19-09-16Boris Adryan
This talk makes the case for a measured use of big data pipelines and analytics methods based on the specific business case: one size doesn't fit all. Rather than buying the fastest stack and the most hyped methods, practitioners interested in analytics for Internet-of-Things deployments can save a lot of money by asking themselves a few questions that I lay out in the talk.
Building a semantic search system - one that can correctly parse and interpret end-user intent and return the ideal results for users’ queries - is not an easy task. It requires semantically parsing the terms, phrases, and structure within queries, disambiguating polysemous terms, correcting misspellings, expanding to conceptually synonymous or related concepts, and rewriting queries in a way that maps the correct interpretation of each end user’s query into the ideal representation of features and weights that will return the best results for that user. Not only that, but the above must often be done within the confines of a very specific domain - ripe with its own jargon and linguistic and conceptual nuances.
This talk will walk through the anatomy of a semantic search system and how each of the pieces described above fit together to deliver a final solution. We'll leverage several recently-released capabilities in Apache Solr (the Semantic Knowledge Graph, Solr Text Tagger, Statistical Phrase Identifier) and Lucidworks Fusion (query log mining, misspelling job, word2vec job, query pipelines, relevancy experiment backtesting) to show you an end-to-end working Semantic Search system that can automatically learn the nuances of any domain and deliver a substantially more relevant search experience.

The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
