WHY DO SO MANY ANALYTICS PROJECTS STILL FAIL?Haluk Demirkan
“KEY CONSIDERATIONS FOR DEEP ANALYTICS ON BIG DATA FOR DEEP LEARNING”
What is Big Data? Big Data, which means many things to many people, is not a new technological fad. In addition to providing innovative solutions and operational insights to enduring challenges and opportunuties, big data with deep analytics instigate new ways to transform processes, organizations, entire industries, and even society all together. Pushing the boundaries of deep data analytics uncovers new.
Big Data is not just “big.” The exponentially growing volume of the data is only one of many characteristics that are often associated with Big Data, such as variety, velocity, veracity and others (6Vs).
By now, we should already have knowledge and experience to have successful data and analytics enabled decision support systems. So why do these projects still fail, and why are executives and users are still so unhappy? While there are many reasons for this high failure rate, the biggest is that companies still treat these projects as just another IT project. Big data analytics is neither a product nor a computer system. It is, rather, a constantly evolving strategy, vision and architecture that continuously seek to align an organization’s operations and direction with its strategic business goals with strategic, tactical and operational decisions.
In the early days of product development, the technology is inferior and lacking in performance. The focus is very much on the technology itself. The users are enthusiast who like the idea of the product, find use for it, and except the lack of performance. Then as the product becomes more mature, other factors become important, such as price, design, features, portability. The product moves from being a technology to become a consumer item, and even a community.
In this lecture we explore the change from technology focus to consumer focus, and look at why people stand in line overnight to buy the latest gadgets.
Trends are the natural changes in behaviours or proceedings. We like to be aware of those indicators for inspiration and guidance. At the beginning of every year we look at UX, UI trends and emerging technologies to get that guidance from.
Slides from a presentation given at uxcambridge 2017. This presentation explores the different types of data visualisation that UX designers are likely to encounter and their characteristics. Then it analyses the problems specific to designing for the digital world - we know the type of data we will collect, but not the actual story that the user will see - and how we as designers can make good choices to help users find the stories that exist in their data.
This project has been realized during the 2015-2016 master “Business Intelligence and Big Data Analytics” at Università di Milano - Bicocca.

The ETL process was born out of necessity, and for decades it has been the glue between data sources and target applications. But as data
growth soars and increased competition demands real-time data, standard ETL has become brittle and often unmanageable. Scaling up resources can do the trick, but it’s very costly and only a matter of time before the processes hit another bottleneck. When outmoded ETL stands in the way of real-time analytics, it might be time to consider a completely new approach.
Register for this episode of The Briefing Room to learn from veteran Analyst Dr. Robin Bloor as he explains how modern, data-driven architectures must adopt an equally capable data integration strategy. He’ll be briefed by Rich Reimer of Splice Machine, who will discuss how his company solves ETL performance issues and enables real-time analytics and reports on big data. He will show that by leveraging the scale-out power of Hadoop and the in-memory speed of Spark, users can bring both analytical and operational systems together, eventually performing transformations only when needed.

The emergence of the mobile workforce has left an indelible mark on the enterprise; every employee is now mobile, and business data continues to be dispatched to the far reaches of the enterprise. While this has added enormous opportunity for increased productivity, it has also muddied the waters when it comes to controlling and protecting valuable data assets. As companies quickly evolve to address the new set of challenges posed by this shift in data usage, IT must ensure that all data, no matter where it’s generated or stored, is available and governed just as if it were still safely behind the corporate firewall.
Register for this episode of The Briefing Room to hear veteran Analyst Malcolm Chisholm as he explains the myriad challenges that mobile data introduces when addressing regulations and compliance needs, requiring new approaches to data governance.

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.

23. The Options
For data, there are two possible approaches:
REPORTS
VISUALIZATIONS
Lists
Groupings
Summaries
Verbal comment
Illustrations
Graphs
Charts
Diagrams
Photographs
Animations
Of course, they are not mutually exclusive.
They can be combined.
24. Beyond the Spreadsheet
Most of the time you do not just VIEW data, you
INTERACT with it:
u Anatomically
– via drill down and summary
u Mathematically
– via algorithms
u Exploratively
– via a variety of perspectives
u Topologically
– through its visual appearance
25. The Nature of Learning
LEARNING:
u The
VISUAL CORTEX is the largest neural system
in the brain and hence often dominates learning
u Differences
noticed by the senses draw attention
and have GREATER IMPACT
u Words
and pictures are inevitably cross-bred;
there is logic, but also INTUITION
u EXPLORATION
promotes learning; ARTICULATION
promotes learning; TEACHING promotes learning
