The document summarizes key concepts from Chapter 5 of the book "Good to Great". It introduces the hedgehog concept using the parable of the hedgehog and the fox. The hedgehog knows one big thing and always defeats the fox despite its greater cunningness. The hedgehog concept involves focusing on the intersection of three circles: what you can be the best at, what drives your economic engine, and what you are deeply passionate about. It is an understanding, not a goal, of what an organization can be exceptional at. The document also discusses the Stockdale paradox about having faith you will prevail while confronting brutal facts.

Webmining Overview
Web mining involves analyzing textual and link structure data from the world wide web to discover useful information. It deals with petabytes of data generated daily and needs to adapt to evolving usage patterns in real-time. Topics related to web mining include web graph analysis, power laws, structured data extraction, web advertising, user analysis, social networks, and blog analysis. The future will involve very large-scale data mining of datasets too big to fit in memory or even on a single disk.

R: Apply Functions
Apply functions allow executing a function repeatedly on each row, column, or element of a matrix, data frame, or list without using loops. Common apply functions include sapply(), lapply(), apply(), mapply(), and tapply(). Apply functions provide a more efficient way to perform operations across data compared to traditional loops. tapply() allows breaking a vector into pieces and applying a function to each piece, similar to sapply() but allowing customization of how the breakdown occurs.

Data Applied:Forecast
Perceptrons can perform linear classification by using hyperplanes to divide instances belonging to different classes in instance space. Multilayer perceptrons can approximate arbitrary target concepts by creating a network of perceptrons with an input, hidden, and output layer, with the structure found through experimentation. When using montecarlo simulations to determine parameters that minimize the error metric of 1/2(y-f(x))^2, random weight vectors are distributed and sampled to choose those that minimize errors, repeating until convergence to the optimal parameter values.
Procedures And Functions in Matlab
Script files, also called M-files, make MATLAB programming more efficient than entering individual commands. M-files are text files that contain MATLAB commands to perform specific tasks. They can be created and edited in any plain text editor or the built-in MATLAB editor. User defined functions are a special type of M-file that take inputs and produce outputs, with the function name and arguments specified in the first line. Strings in MATLAB are matrices of character elements that can be manipulated using various functions like converting between data types and extracting substrings.

MS Sql Server: Manipulating Database
To manipulate a database, you can:
1) Add, modify, or delete fields using ALTER TABLE commands like ADD, ALTER COLUMN, and DROP COLUMN.
2) Add new records by inserting rows and delete existing records using a DELETE FROM table WHERE condition statement.
3) Take care with data type conversions when modifying fields to ensure compatibility.
Pentaho: Reporting Solution Development
Pentaho reporting is an open source collection of projects focused on creating, generating, and distributing report content from all data sources. It includes a reporting engine, report designer, Pentaho BI server, and client tools. Pentaho reporting allows for pixel-perfect report creation using the report designer, complex scheduling, and the ability to email published reports. It also features a metadata editor, design studio, and administration console to manage reports.
Knowledge Discovery
Knowledge discovery involves non-trivially extracting useful and previously unknown information from data. It includes data mining to detect patterns in prepared data. Knowledge discovery can be divided into classification, numerical prediction, association, and clustering and is used for applications like financial forecasting, targeted marketing, medical diagnosis, and fraud detection. Data mining can use labeled data with known attributes to predict unknown attributes through supervised learning, or unlabeled data without known attributes through unsupervised learning techniques like association rules and clustering.
Data Applied:Decision Trees
Decision trees are models that use divide and conquer techniques to split data into branches based on attribute values at each node. To construct a decision tree, an attribute is selected to label the root node using the maximum information gain approach. Then the process is recursively repeated on the branches. However, highly branching attributes may be favored. To address this, gain ratio is used which compensates for number of branches by considering split information. The example demonstrates calculating information gain and gain ratio to select the best attribute to split on at each node.
Data Applied: Clustering
This document provides an introduction to clustering techniques and the BIRCH algorithm. It defines clustering as dividing data instances into natural groups rather than predicting classes. The BIRCH algorithm incrementally clusters multi-dimensional data to produce high quality clusters using minimal resources. It can handle large datasets by performing clustering in one data scan and allows for outliers. The algorithm builds a CF tree using clustering features to summarize cluster information during the incremental clustering process.
Data Mining The Sky
Data mining techniques are being increasingly used in astronomy to analyze large datasets from surveys and extract useful information. Some key techniques used include neural networks to classify objects as stars or galaxies, and decision trees to aid classification. Data mining involves tasks like classification, regression, clustering, and anomaly detection to analyze astronomical data and discover patterns. As astronomical surveys continue to collect vast amounts of data, machine learning and data mining will remain important tools to help scientists analyze the data.
LISP: Type specifiers in lisp
Type specifiers in Common Lisp allow specifying the type of data. Standard type specifiers include symbols for types like number, string, array. Type specifiers can also be lists to further specify element types, dimensions, etc. New type specifiers can be defined using deftype. Functions like coerce and upgraded-array-element-type handle type conversions.
Excel Datamining Addin Intermediate

Key steps include data preparation, applying classification, clustering, association and other algorithms to build models, and validating models on new data to assess accuracy.
LISP:Predicates in lisp
Predicates in Common Lisp are functions that test conditions and return true or false. There are different types of predicates including data type predicates to check types, equality predicates like eq and equal to compare objects, and logical operators like and, or, and not. Specific predicates test for individual data types like numberp, listp, symbolp. Subtypep checks if one type is a subtype of another.
RapidMiner: Advanced Processes And Operators
This document discusses advanced processes and operators in RapidMiner including feature selection, splitting processes, OLAP operators, post processing operators, and preprocessing operators. Feature selection uses the backward elimination algorithm to test which attributes are relevant for building a better model. Processes can be split into learning and applying sections. OLAP operators support tasks like grouping, aggregation, and pivoting for multidimensional analysis. Post processing operators perform actions after modeling like cost-sensitive threshold selection. Preprocessing operators generate new features or clean data by imputing missing values.

Deer
The document discusses the search for the "Big Eyed Deer", a metaphor for the elusive big idea in advertising. It begins by outlining some myths and misconceptions around finding big ideas, such as passively waiting for inspiration or looking to past award-winning ideas. It argues that truly original ideas require leaving preconceptions behind, having the courage of one's convictions, and persisting despite criticism. The document suggests armoring oneself with courage, enthusiasm, and persistence to withstand those who may oppose new ideas. Ultimately, it cautions that one's motivations for pursuing creative work must be in service of the work itself, not personal glory or artistic fulfillment.
Complacency
The document discusses various topics related to innovation, creativity, and organizational change. It provides quotes and stories on topics such as:
1) Applying existing knowledge in new ways is often the source of new ideas, not new information. Standing still is the fastest way to move backwards in a rapidly changing world.
2) Benchmarking is about using best practices to stimulate radical innovation, not just incremental improvements. Problems cannot be solved by thinking within the framework that created them.
3) Obstacles will always appear when taking your eye off the goal. No company can afford complacency in today's competitive world. The future depends on decisions made in the present.
Innovation and creativity 09 intelligence and thinking
The document discusses concepts of thinking and intelligence, including:
- Thinking refers to using one's mind to consider or reason about something, and produces thoughts.
- Intelligence involves the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills through reasoning, problem solving, learning, and adapting to new situations.
- There are different theories about the nature of intelligence, including Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences which identifies eight specific intelligences like linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial, musical, etc.
- Intelligence involves abilities like memory, comprehension, reasoning, and abstract thought, which allow humans to learn, recognize and solve problems in their environment.
My 106 Key learnings in 2017 (quotes, concepts, ideas)
During 2017 I read many books, articles, listened to some podcasts and audiobooks. Each time I ran into some great quotes, ideas, concepts, I wrote them down in a Note folder on my iPhone. Now it's time for me to share them with the world as some of them might be useful for you.
Serendipity and innovation
The document discusses the concept of serendipity and its role in innovation. It defines serendipity as accidental discoveries, especially when looking for something unrelated. It provides examples of accidental discoveries that led to innovations, such as Louis Pasteur's discovery of the cholera vaccine. The document argues that while serendipity involves luck, creating the right environment and training oneself can promote serendipitous thinking and discoveries. It suggests thinking outside the box and recognizing patterns as ways to foster innovation.

The Squash Lecture: Imagination, Puzzles, Asset Creation, Creative Careers, a...
I am interested in developing executive training or professional development workshops that function as 'surprise' and 'mystery' tours and collective performance art.
I have brought a squash to the class last Friday (as a form of improvisation and surprise).
In particular, students like puzzles (the student who gets the answer first gets a dark chocolate).
If you view it as a slideshow and try to guess the answers to the puzzles, then the experience might be quite fun:)
You can find the description of this class below.
In this class that is designed as a collective performance art, we review some of the biggest names in the landscape of entertainment, creativity, and business. From space to magic, from basketball to fashion, from animation to computer games, from film music to architecture we have a trans-disciplinary tour of storytelling and creative careers. We have a series of exercises in asset creation and imagination. We have a lot of puzzles. We dream about the university of the future. However, the main actor in all of this experience (the connecting thread/anchor) is a squash.
The psychology of human misjudgment iv
This document discusses the psychological bias of social proof and how it relates to human behavior and decision making. [1] Social proof is the tendency to copy the actions of others in an ambiguous situation. It is most influential under conditions of uncertainty or when testimonials come from similar others. [2] Evolution programmed humans with social proof as a survival mechanism, but it can also lead people to make foolish decisions by blindly following the crowd. [3] Two examples are discussed - a video on how social proof affects bird flocking behavior, and how Amazon uses data on similar customers to influence purchasing decisions.
everything I needed to know about innovation, I learned by drawing cartoons
I talk about cartooning as a metaphor for innovation. Launching a new product in a crowded marketplace has a lot in common with launching a cartoon. I cover the process of coming up with remarkable ideas and then sharing them with others so that the end result doesn't suffer the "death of a thousand cuts." Includes quotes from Bill Watterson and Matt Groening.
Crinovate
The document discusses concepts related to innovation and creative thinking, including:
1) The "catalytic mechanism" concept of empowering people to take action rather than waiting for others.
2) The importance of divergent thinking, including deferring judgement, striving for quantity of ideas, bending reality, and combining/building on ideas.
3) Examples are given to stimulate creative thinking like storytelling and games. Visualization is also discussed as a technique.
Good to great 4 6 (revised)
The document summarizes key concepts from Chapters 4-6 of Jim Collins' book Good to Great. It discusses the importance of confronting brutal facts, developing a Hedgehog Concept of focusing on one thing you can be the best in the world at, and cultivating a culture of discipline. Some main points include:
1) To become great, leaders must confront the brutal facts of reality and create a climate where the truth can be heard, even if it is scary. They must also retain faith that they can prevail despite difficulties.
2) Developing a Hedgehog Concept takes time and involves understanding what you can be best at, what drives your economic engine, and what you are passionate about. It
Use Dialogue to Unleash Your Creative Potential
The document discusses six processes of dialogue that can help unleash creative potential: listening, sharing, imagining, feeling, questioning, and seeing. It provides guidance on each process, such as emphasizing empathy in listening, sharing communication etiquette, using random association to imagine, and clarifying questions to see from new perspectives. The overall message is that engaging in open discussion through these dialogue processes can lead to new insights and knowledge.
