This document discusses using Apache S4 and Lucene to build a real-time search engine. S4 is a distributed, fault-tolerant stream processing system originally created by Yahoo! to handle expensive preprocessing in a scalable way. The document outlines how an indexing pipeline could use S4 to extract text, classify documents, and merge results in real-time as new documents are added, before pushing updates to Lucene. While S4 shows promise for real-time search, it currently has limitations around event loss during node failures. Overall, S4 provides a way to distribute preprocessing that could enable both real-time indexing and querying at low latency.
Real time semantic search engine for social tv streamsSngular Meaning
Social TV, the use of social networks to comment on TV programs is a growing phenomena. TV channels and brands are turning into social networks to look for real time insights about their programs. Understanding the global conversation about a program is useful to acquire insights for broadcasters and brands. For broadcasters, acquiring insights while a program is aired enable them to produce new content formats that include social conversation. For brands, it helps to prevent reputation crisis and increase the reach of their marketing efforts. For viewers, which increasingly use second screen devices, should benefit from tools that help to understand opinions around main content and connect with peers during TV programs or live events.
Textalytics is now MeaningCloud http://www.meaningcloud.com/
We present a system that combines natural language processing (Textalytics API) and a scalable semi-structured database/search engine (senseiDB) to provide semantic and faceted search, real time analytics and support visualizations for this kind of applications.
In the first part, we will present some of the useful NLP methods that we can use to tame unstructured big data like Twitter or Facebook comments. We will include description for tasks like text categorization, sentiment analysis, named entity recognition. We would also see how this data could be related to external data like Linked Data points. While the description would be general, examples would be illustrated using Textalytics API.
Then we would present how this data could be ingested and made available for search in real time using a semi-structured database like SenseiDB. We would present key features of SenseiDB including high performance real time indexing and simultaneous querying, distribution and support for full-text and faceted search. We would also discuss how facets may be overused to provide real time analytics and enable semantic search. Finally we will discuss advantages, problems and current limitations of SenseiDB.
Takeaway Points.
- Analyzing and searching text in social streams
- Integrating text analytics services (Textalytics) and a semi-structured database (SenseiDB)

A Trifecta of Real-Time Applications: Apache Kafka, Flink, and DruidHostedbyConfluent
"The data coming into Kafka is fresh and hot. And you can deliver a new level of operational visibility and intelligence fueling applications with it. But streaming data is no longer real-time when the sink is batch. So the challenge is processing it and analyzing it at scale and extracting those insights - before they go stale.
So what’s the right architecture? Should you ingest streams into a data warehouse or data lake? Maybe use a stream processor or a database? Engineering teams love using Apache Flink, but they also love using Apache Druid, a popular real-time analytics database used by 1000s of companies like Confluent and Netflix. Do you need Flink and Druid? When does it make sense vs when does it not?
Join this session to learn about Apache Druid and why companies use it in combination with Kafka and Flink for real-time applications. Learn how Apache Druid complements Flink and Kafka - and what makes it purpose-built for analyzing streams and events. This talk shows real-world examples from companies that use Apache Druid with Kafka and Flink in production today and the best-practices that every dev can take advantage of."

Digital Transformation Mindset - More Than Just Technologyconfluent
Many enterprises faced with silo’ed, batch-oriented, legacy systems struggle to compete in this new digital-first world. Adhering to the ‘If it’s not broken don’t fix it’ mentality leaves the door wide open for native digital challengers to grow and succeed. To stay competitive, your organization must respond in real time to every customer experience transaction, sale, and market movement. But how do you get there? First, you must change your mindset.
As streaming platforms become central to data strategies, companies both small and large are re-thinking their enterprise architecture with real-time context at the forefront. Monoliths are evolving into microservices. Datacenters are moving to the cloud. What was once a ‘batch’ mindset is quickly being replaced with stream processing as the demands of the business impose real-time requirements on technology leaders.
Join Argyle, in partnership with Confluent, in our 2018 CIO Virtual Event: The Digital Transformation Mindset – More Than Just Technology. During the webinar we’ll learn how leading companies across industries rely on a streaming platform to make event-driven architectures central to:
• How data strategies and IT initiatives are improving the digital customer experiences
• How executives are reducing risk with real time monitoring and anomaly detection
• Increasing operational agility with microservices and IoT architectures within organizations

Implementing a new workflow solution in an existing system environment and integrated with a scanning solution can be extremely complex. If you’re also going live in 20 countries while simultaneously centralising to a shared service operation your project just got a whole lot more challenging!
In this presentation from The Accounts Payable Tech Summit 2011 given by Urs Jraeffker, Project Manager at IKEA, shares how IKEA:
• Implemented the Basware solution for workflow and integrated this with a scanning solution across five countries
• Centralised transactional work simultaneously in Poland and China

EvoApp Bermuda (patent pending) is a highly scalable, cloud-native, in-memory analytic engine capable of analyzing large amounts of data extremely fast. Bermuda provides cost-effective, real-time, Big Data analysis and insight for both unstructured and structured data, enabling a wide range of business applications. Bermuda is capable of performing sub-second queries over billions of items, leveraging virtual machines and a cloud-scale storage system providing transactional, persistent storage of data.
In addition to world-leading performance on the data sets for which it is optimized, the other major benefit of Bermuda is that a user does not have to define specific queries ahead of time, as is required with traditional business intelligence systems or a platform like Hadoop. Bermuda was built to support real-time, ad-hoc queries over large datasets. With Bermuda, a user can change queries on the fly, adjusting charts and reports and seeing results immediately. This expands the options associated with analytics on big data--more closely resembling a web search than traditional business intelligence STET reports.
Bermuda can achieve such exceptionally fast query response times because data is organized in a proprietary, patent-pending architecture that facilitates scan-intensive queries. These make up the bulk of business intelligence analytics computations (i.e. time series, computing averages or sums, grouping by day, hour, etc. over large datasets); by optimizing Bermuda for this type of query, the engine is able to allocate workload across hundreds or even thousands of servers, easily accommodating terabytes of information. Additionally, all queries are non-blocking to the writing of new information or updates to existing data.
The Bermuda architecture is unique because it combines the scalability of NoSQL databases, the performance of pure in-memory processing, and the cost/benefit advantages of a cloud-native deployment. It creates value by allowing EvoApp customers to make decisions and gain insights from massive quantities of data in an iterative, real-time environment. This represents a huge advance in the state of the art of unstructured data analytics and delivers on the promise of real-time/ad-hoc queries at scale.

EclipseCon - Building an IDE for Apache CassandraMichaël Figuière
Apache Cassandra is a distributed, scalable and highly available database used in many large scale infrastructures in companies such as Netflix, eBay, Instagram or Spotify. It comes with a SQL-like query language that reduces its learning curve, but in order to allow developers to have a similar productivity as with traditional RDBMS, several tools are required.
DataStax DevCenter is a standalone IDE built on top of the Eclipse RCP Platform, that makes it easier to create data models and scripts for Cassandra. It relies on Xtext to bring a modern editor with content assist, syntax highlighting, cross references, instant validation and quick fixes. Besides that, in order to build a sophisticated UI while keeping the codebase simple, e4 has been leveraged for dependency injection and event dispatching.
This presentation will provide an overview of the design challenges that we've faced and our experience putting together all these technologies.

EclipseCon - Building an IDE for Apache CassandraMichaël Figuière
Apache Cassandra is a distributed, scalable and highly available database used in many large scale infrastructures in companies such as Netflix, eBay, Instagram or Spotify. It comes with a SQL-like query language that reduces its learning curve, but in order to allow developers to have a similar productivity as with traditional RDBMS, several tools are required.
DataStax DevCenter is a standalone IDE built on top of the Eclipse RCP Platform, that makes it easier to create data models and scripts for Cassandra. It relies on Xtext to bring a modern editor with content assist, syntax highlighting, cross references, instant validation and quick fixes. Besides that, in order to build a sophisticated UI while keeping the codebase simple, e4 has been leveraged for dependency injection and event dispatching.
This presentation will provide an overview of the design challenges that we've faced and our experience putting together all these technologies.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

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.

Hadoop MapReduce
19. But...
• Hadoop can only deal with chunk of data
Data must be available somewhere on HDFS
• Unbounded stream of data can’t fit into Hadoop MapReduce
Hadoop is thought and optimized for batch processing
• Manually bounding the stream won’t be efficient
It’ll resulting in lot of regular and inefficient batches
21. S4
• A distributed, fault-tolerant, stream processing system
• Elastic
Based on Zookeeper
• Project started in november 2010, still experimental
But things are moving fast !
22. Where does S4 come from ?
• Open Source project created by Yahoo!
• Initially built for relevant ad selection and clever positioning on webpages
But thought to be generic enough
• Expensive pre-processing may make searches slower
And indexing in real-time shouldn’t make searches slower !
