Levelwise PageRank with Loop-Based Dead End Handling Strategy : SHORT REPORT ...Subhajit Sahu
Abstract — Levelwise PageRank is an alternative method of PageRank computation which decomposes the input graph into a directed acyclic block-graph of strongly connected components, and processes them in topological order, one level at a time. This enables calculation for ranks in a distributed fashion without per-iteration communication, unlike the standard method where all vertices are processed in each iteration. It however comes with a precondition of the absence of dead ends in the input graph. Here, the native non-distributed performance of Levelwise PageRank was compared against Monolithic PageRank on a CPU as well as a GPU. To ensure a fair comparison, Monolithic PageRank was also performed on a graph where vertices were split by components. Results indicate that Levelwise PageRank is about as fast as Monolithic PageRank on the CPU, but quite a bit slower on the GPU. Slowdown on the GPU is likely caused by a large submission of small workloads, and expected to be non-issue when the computation is performed on massive graphs.

Empowering the Data Analytics Ecosystem: A Laser Focus on Value
The data analytics ecosystem thrives when every component functions at its peak, unlocking the true potential of data. Here's a laser focus on key areas for an empowered ecosystem:
1. Democratize Access, Not Data:
Granular Access Controls: Provide users with self-service tools tailored to their specific needs, preventing data overload and misuse.
Data Catalogs: Implement robust data catalogs for easy discovery and understanding of available data sources.
2. Foster Collaboration with Clear Roles:
Data Mesh Architecture: Break down data silos by creating a distributed data ownership model with clear ownership and responsibilities.
Collaborative Workspaces: Utilize interactive platforms where data scientists, analysts, and domain experts can work seamlessly together.
3. Leverage Advanced Analytics Strategically:
AI-powered Automation: Automate repetitive tasks like data cleaning and feature engineering, freeing up data talent for higher-level analysis.
Right-Tool Selection: Strategically choose the most effective advanced analytics techniques (e.g., AI, ML) based on specific business problems.
4. Prioritize Data Quality with Automation:
Automated Data Validation: Implement automated data quality checks to identify and rectify errors at the source, minimizing downstream issues.
Data Lineage Tracking: Track the flow of data throughout the ecosystem, ensuring transparency and facilitating root cause analysis for errors.
5. Cultivate a Data-Driven Mindset:
Metrics-Driven Performance Management: Align KPIs and performance metrics with data-driven insights to ensure actionable decision making.
Data Storytelling Workshops: Equip stakeholders with the skills to translate complex data findings into compelling narratives that drive action.
Benefits of a Precise Ecosystem:
Sharpened Focus: Precise access and clear roles ensure everyone works with the most relevant data, maximizing efficiency.
Actionable Insights: Strategic analytics and automated quality checks lead to more reliable and actionable data insights.
Continuous Improvement: Data-driven performance management fosters a culture of learning and continuous improvement.
Sustainable Growth: Empowered by data, organizations can make informed decisions to drive sustainable growth and innovation.
By focusing on these precise actions, organizations can create an empowered data analytics ecosystem that delivers real value by driving data-driven decisions and maximizing the return on their data investment.

2. Category Vantage Point 2017 - Methodology
At the turn of 2016/2017, grasp surveyed 36 UK Fast Moving
Consumer Goods professionals. Our survey aimed to help
participants (and other category-focussed professionals) understand
how to drive maximum value from UK FMCGs’ investment in
category data. Participants were asked to benchmark the
performance of different category data & insight suppliers. This is
an executive summary for participants and key stakeholders.
4. Focus groups remain most popular ad-hoc research
focus / discussion groups
at-fixture intercepts
observation in-store
online surveys
taste panels
“vox pops”
omnibus surveys
hall tests
telephone surveys
… back to 2015 levels
7. Data Quality is the most important attribute
quality: coverage, trend,
consistency & reliability
speed & timeliness of data deliver
value for money
ease of access to data (software etc)
people who will offer you day-to-day support
support functions: people who you contact
occasionally on ad hoc issues
8. Most feel they are within 2-3% of market trend
31.4% (11)

9. … & read accurate to 2-5% of market value
last year …
you asked
10. Data quality & delivery challenges …
dunnhumby “The dunnhumby SKPI report is very time consuming to get anything out of”
“introduced new Shop Lab in May … was quickly apparent that insufficient testing had been
carried out on Lab which resulted in long data delivery times (up to 18 hours for some reports);
frequent system failings; incomplete reports … not helped by a poor response from Client Service”
“good except for waiting time”
IRI “Appropriate coding aligned to database structures needs to be right first time,
IRI often get this on 3rd attempt”
Kantar “Constant data reconciliations as trends do not mirror EPoS” “a few issues raised over the
reliability of the Kantar discounter trends but in the absence of any epos data it's hard to verify”
“panel trends vs epos (discounters a big issue)” “frustrating that Kantar won't now let us have
Powerview and aren't then always able to turn more ad hoc detailed requests around quickly
which could have been done using Powerview.”
Nielsen “Still confusion in Nielsen on whether their date includes and excludes the discounters”
“categorisation is way under average”
11. Data quality & delivery positives …
dunnhumby “very good”
IRI “good quality in general”
Kantar “always deliver to schedule”
“WorldPanel Online is a good tool”
Nielsen “deliver on or, more frequently, ahead of schedule.”
13. Generic customer service issues …
“service levels and integrity of database”
“neither IRI nor Kantar are able to support
short customer driven requirements”
“Not enough pace when getting to the bottom of issues”
“Level of knowledge and insight outside
of the data about the category”
“some [people/agencies] stand out in this field as exceptional,
others are not bothered about you as clients.”
15. Challenges “… feels as though there is a leaning towards involving
the Expert Solutions team more without fully exploring the brief
through what we have available within contract.”
“client service team proactive when chasing commercial proposals
but totally reactive when dealing with coding issues
and failure to chase through with back office.”
“very rigid in interpretation of contractual data entitlement
and hard work to get anything contextual”
Positives “lead the way in terms of customer service, pro-actively provide
market insights and regularly contact us to ask if we need any help.”
Customer service feedback …
16. “still not as strong as Kantar as a data provider,
and are not as well resourced.”
“Migration to IRI's Advantage platform for EPOS data is
disappointing. Industry limitations on sharing EPOS data
with third parties (for say econometrics) creates a virtual
monopoly for IRI on certain key types of analysis.”
Customer service feedback …
17. “response times”
“Dunnhumby 'shop' is a good step forward,
however performance is still lacking”
“didn't seem to be bothered by the problems
being caused by introduction of Lab”
“desire to ‘understand your objectives’ motivated by
opportunities to cross sell Clubcard marketing.”
Customer service feedback …
18. Challenges “Coding issues”
“Spending lots of time to help Nielsen categorise,
resulting in an even higher rate for the data.”
Positives “The Nielsen Client Service Online (CSO) team is
efficient and a useful support function to have access to but
the experience levels within the team are varied,
which impacts how queries are handled.”
Customer service feedback …
20. What changes would you like to see … (1 participant ea.)
“Tableau” (2 participants)
“Scanmar”
“internal data warehouse”
“IRI's Advantage system allows us to access Kantar data on
their platform. We are still to fully capitalise on this ability …”
Prioritise accuracy
“Kantar trying to build their accuracy for M&S”
Don't cost Key Account Data on Supplier Share
“Ridiculous … makes IRI data for Tesco way too expensive, out of proportion”
Be our agent in their business
“So coding changes don't have to be chased by the client”
Earn the right “get the basics right before trying to sell in other services”
“More resource.”
