Supply Chain Intelligence and Analytics Executive Guidelines for SuccessHalo BI
Learn from industry experts about the future of supply chain analytics in 2016. Understand the main concerns of executives in the coming year and where the focus will be across the entire supply chain.
Conflict in the Cloud – Issues & Solutions for Big DataHalo BI
Halo BI CEO, Keith Peterson, presents at the 6th Annual Cloud Computing Conference - AITP San Diego: Conflict in the Cloud – Issues & Solutions for Big Data.
Cloud services make money based on the volume of data stored in the cloud – and big data delivers that volume. But companies seeking to use big data are looking for economies of scale from the Cloud.
This document discusses how data and analytics can create or destroy shareholder value for companies through decision making. It finds that while most executives recognize the importance of data-driven decisions, only a third of organizations are highly data-driven. Highly data-driven companies are 3 times more likely to improve decision making. The technologies for advanced analytics like machine learning, IoT/sensors, simulation, and visualization are advancing rapidly but organizations must focus on developing the right operating model and skills to realize benefits. The operating model chosen can determine whether shareholder value is created or destroyed through analytics.
This document is a presentation on big data given by Martyn Crew, founder and CEO of Catch the Big Data Wave. The presentation defines big data, discusses why it is important to customers, outlines the big data ecosystem and options available, and who is making money from big data currently. The agenda includes defining the 3Vs of big data, examining big data's importance to customers, reviewing the big data ecosystem and options, identifying sectors making money from big data, and addressing that big data solutions can vary in scale and need.
1) ABN AMRO conducted an investigation into data quality issues in 2015 which identified 700 issues clustered into 7 themes, with a focus on improving customer and reference data.
2) To address these issues, ABN AMRO developed a future state architecture detailing how to better manage reference and customer data through a unified approach.
3) Several challenges in resolving data quality issues quickly were identified, including the need to better share common data across business units, define consistent data meanings, and identify single sources of truth for critical data elements.
This document discusses how new trends in technology are changing business needs and placing new demands on IT infrastructure. Mobile, social, cloud, big data and analytics are driving more dynamic workloads and the need for more agile and efficient IT environments. This is requiring infrastructure that is scalable, flexible, reliable, secure and manageable. The document argues that composable infrastructure solutions enabled by cloud help meet these new demands, allowing infrastructure to be more real-time, agile, efficient and open. It provides examples of how IBM solutions for storage, servers, software defined infrastructure and cognitive systems address these infrastructure challenges.
The document discusses open data in clinical research and how it relates to big data. It notes that open data means data that can be analyzed and used by anyone through linkages and evidence-based applications. The document outlines key principles for open data, including clarity of use, data quality, and managing data reuse. It describes benefits like crowd-sourcing analysis, data linkage insights, and improved data quality. Finally, it summarizes that for clinical research, open data is a way to securely analyze and apply insights from big data.
This document discusses Accenture's approach to data modernization. It outlines key trends in data-driven organizations, including democratizing data, incorporating new data sources, focusing on advanced analytics, adopting big data and hybrid architectures, and changing skills requirements. The document then presents a high-level 9-step approach to agile analytics that engages stakeholders, identifies value opportunities, formulates hypotheses, understands data sources, defines models, prepares data, prototypes and iterates, pilots and executes projects, and delivers actionable insights. It also notes some common challenges organizations face in data transformation, such as unrealistic technology expectations, inadequate delivery approaches, skills gaps, and poor data governance. Finally, it poses questions to help organizations assess their readiness

Top Five Trends That Are Redefining Banking in ASEANaccenture
There are three major challenges keep organizations from fully realizing returns and delivering a truly customer-centric experience for banks. As a result, five key trends have emerged of banks seeking to overcome these challenges.
Predictive analytics uses statistical techniques and business intelligence technologies to uncover relationships within large datasets to predict future behaviors or outcomes. While predictive analytics can provide benefits like reducing customer churn or improving marketing campaign response rates, it is not widely used due to complexity, underestimating value, high software costs, and reliance on good quality data. The document outlines best practices for predictive analytics including focusing on data management, expecting incremental improvements over time, measuring impact using business metrics, and gaining executive sponsorship for projects.
Traditional data management approaches are inadequate to handle today's data growth and real-time business needs. Siloed technology stacks have become too complex, slow, and expensive. This is driving many enterprises to rethink their data strategies and build self-service platforms that can consolidate different data sources and provide faster, more flexible access to data. An end-to-end data architecture is needed to collapse silos, integrate data, and support real-time analytics and decision making across the business.

Introduction
Business Analytics means the practice of iterative and methodological examination of a business’s data with a special emphasis on statistic making. Business Analytics can further help businesses automate and optimize their business processes. Companies in which data plays a pivotal role, treats its data as a corporate assets and leverages it for gaining competitive advantage. A successful business analytics would typically depend on data quality, highly skillful and experienced professionals who understand the technologies, knows how to work with it and also understands the organizations processes in depth. Apart from this, the organization should have a capable infrastructure to support the operations of business analytics.
Usage of Business Analysis is done for the following purposes:
· Exploration of data so as to find patterns and trends
· Identifying relationships in key data variables for forecasting. For instance next probable purchase by the customer
· Drilling down to the results to find out why a particular incident took place. This approach is done by performing statistical analysis and quantitative analysis with business analytical tools
· Predicting future results by employing predictive modeling and predictive analytics
· Testing previous decisions using A/B and Multivariate testing
· Assisting business in decision making such as figuring out the amount of discount to be given for a new customer
Post identifying of business goal, an analysis methodology needs to be selected and the data is acquired to support the analysis. This data acquisition normally involves extracting data from systems that may be spread throughout different locations an ...
DRIVERS AND IMPEDIMENTS TO DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION - THE RESEARCHTom Rieger
This document summarizes the results of a survey about drivers and impediments to digital transformation. Over 82% of respondents agreed there is a big shift happening in enterprise technology. While 55% said their organization takes a "cloud first" approach, 74% still have network drives for file sharing. Respondents believed the main reasons older systems are still running are integration complexity (49%), business criticality (43%), and that transition is seen as a short-term problem (22%). Over the next 12 months, most organizations plan to move more workloads to the cloud.
The document discusses how organizations are facing challenges managing the growing amounts of data and information from various sources. This includes extracting insights from large amounts of structured and unstructured content across the enterprise. It also talks about the need to connect people and processes to improve collaboration, decision making and customer service. New approaches to enterprise information management are needed to gain control of data, drive business optimization and enable organizations to adapt quickly to changes.

Data and the enterprise mission: putting data at the corecorfinancial
Data matters to Financial Services firms. It is their stock-in-trade, a strategic asset that without an accurate and timely data set they cannot operate effectively, they cannot price risk fully and their capital allocation calls are unlikely to be optimal. Data is the ultimate collateral of these firms. For many, it requires a transformational change in their systems, technology and processes How then do you embed strategic data into your enterprise architecture?
Read 2 minute guide
Organizations are increasingly digitalizing their processes and offering products and services online. This fundamentally changes how they operate and interact with customers in several ways:
1) Much more customer data becomes available through digital interactions, allowing for more customized services based on data analytics.
2) Risk assessment can now be done in real-time during transactions rather than after the fact, improving customer experience and reducing costs.
3) Risk management is shifting from subjective, opinion-based decisions to a more data-driven approach using automated data collection, interactive dashboards, and probability-based risk scoring.
Why Data Consulting Services Are So Crucial For The Modern Generation?Ahex Technologies
Empowering the organization to become a data-driven enterprise with greater access to data and insights is one of the most efficient tasks to be done. The data consulting services integrate the enterprise data build: digital, operational, analytical, data science, and AI models, to automate processes using intelligent workflows.
This document discusses how businesses can use business process management (BPM) platforms to digitalize their processes in the era of fast data and unprecedented change. It emphasizes that to stay competitive, businesses need to do more than just automate existing processes and instead must design flexible processes that can change in real time based on new data and events. The document recommends TIBCO's ActiveMatrix BPM platform, which provides capabilities like enhanced case management, expanded analytics, and ease of use tools to help businesses compose optimal processes on the fly. Key capabilities highlighted include ad hoc activities, dynamic work routing, real-time reporting and dashboards, predictive analytics, and developer tools to support agile process design.

Straight through processing (STP) allows loan information to be entered once and then reused throughout the application and approval process. This eliminates redundant data entry and improves accuracy. STP streamlines the lending process from start to finish, compressing cycle times. It enables tasks to be completed simultaneously rather than sequentially, as was traditionally the case when files moved between departments. STP has the potential to dramatically transform lending operations by increasing efficiency and reducing costs.

Charles Mok discusses various threats facing the internet, including digital repression, surveillance, misinformation, internet shutdowns, and data/cyber sovereignty. He notes that data, standards, infrastructure, and values are fragmenting. Regulatory fragmentation is also occurring as democracies seek backdoors, while authoritarians view cybersecurity as a means of regime security and push for more government control over internet governance through conferences like the World Internet Conference. Overall, Mok argues the vision of "One World, One Internet" is under threat from increasing fragmentation across many areas.
This document summarizes cyber risks in Hong Kong following the implementation of the National Security Law in 2020. It discusses how internet freedom has declined, with increased censorship and surveillance powers. New laws and proposals aim to further control the internet, such as requiring SIM card registration, strengthening anti-doxxing laws, and proposals to regulate crowdfunding and criminalize broad cybercrimes. Civil society has retreated amid arrests for online posts, media closures, and website blocking. Overall internet freedom has sharply declined and more restrictions are planned.
ICANN TWNIC TWIGF 2023: Compliance through CompulsionCharles Mok
This document discusses the trend of governments using access restrictions as a policy tool for compliance. It notes that censorship has existed as long as the internet, through methods like the Great Firewall of China. The document examines perspectives from 2011 that viewed access restrictions as minor inconveniences rather than censorship. It analyzes how the UK uses a protective DNS service to block malware while maintaining it is not censorship. Examples from Hong Kong and predictions for other Asian countries show how access restrictions have become mandated under national security laws. The document raises the question of whether similar trends could occur in other countries like the US and Taiwan.

Digital Authoritarianism: Global Trends, Challenges and Opportunities for Taiwan
Keynote for Open Culture Foundation
April 8 2023
Taipei, Taiwan
This document summarizes Charles Mok's discussion from a 2023 technology conference on issues related to AI, blockchain, cybersecurity, data governance, and internet fragmentation. Key topics included the rapid advancement of AI models from ChatGPT to GPT-4, the collapse of FTX shaking confidence in cryptocurrency and blockchain applications, ongoing debates around internet standards-setting and regulatory approaches, and increasing geopolitical tensions contributing to fragmentation across digital technologies, infrastructure, and values. Mok concluded by questioning if collaboration on these issues can overcome growing divisions.
Technology4democracy: The Potential of Web3 and Blockchain for DemocracyCharles Mok
- Web3 aims to decentralize the internet using blockchain technology, removing centralized intermediaries and allowing users to own their own data. This could enable new forms of direct participation like immutable voting. However, others are skeptical that people want to manage their own servers or infrastructure. There are also concerns that Web3 platforms could become controlled by venture capitalists like previous iterations. Some countries and organizations are experimenting with blockchain applications for areas like elections, funding, and transparency. Ensuring governance models are inclusive and address potential threats will be important as Web3 develops.
APAC Data Center Infrastructure ObservationsCharles Mok
Regulations in the APAC region are expected to favor edge data centers over solely cloud-based infrastructure due to data sovereignty requirements. Increased bandwidth availability in more APAC markets beyond major hubs could lead to greater data center distribution. While green data centers are important, regulations promoting them may not be top national priorities in all APAC countries at this time.
Charles Mok discusses China's repressive digital practices, including the Great Firewall that censors the internet, massive government surveillance through tools like facial recognition, and the social credit system. He notes that China is exporting this model of digital control through projects like the Digital Silk Road and by providing technologies to other countries. However, China faces pushback in some Western nations and its efforts to influence global technology standards have met resistance from organizations like IETF and IEEE. Overall, China is actively working to spread its model of internet governance and fragment the global internet while facing challenges to its vision from advocates of multistakeholder governance.
The document discusses issues around technology, data, and ethics for both the public and private sectors. It notes fragmentation of trust, truth, the internet, and data issues that regulators face. It argues regulations alone cannot solve most problems and that putting the pieces together requires data literacy for all stakeholders and joint data governance that empowers users, is consent-based, transparent, and holds organizations accountable. The document was presented by Charles Mok at an ISKO conference on data governance designed with user empowerment, consent, transparency, and accountability at its core.
Censorship, Surveillance and Cyber Threats in Hong Kong.pdfCharles Mok
This document summarizes the decline of internet freedom in Hong Kong over recent years. It describes how censorship was previously non-existent but increased after the national security law was passed in 2020. This allowed authorities to order taking down of online content and surveillance. Many websites and apps were blocked or self-censored in response. Real name registration for SIM cards was also introduced, tightening government control over online activities. The future may include further pressure on global internet platforms to censor in Hong Kong as well as local legislation increasing government powers over online speech.
Charles Mok looks at the impacts of emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, blockchain, and the metaverse. He discusses both benefits and concerns, such as privacy issues with facial recognition, mounting ethical concerns with the industrialization of AI, and debates around decentralization. He also examines implications of the Ukraine conflict, including hacker activity and big tech's response, as well as what the future internet may look like in regards to issues like social credit, censorship, and online freedom.
Why open and interoperable Internet infrastructure is key to the Internet's c...Charles Mok
The document discusses why an open and interoperable Internet infrastructure is key to the continued success of the Internet. It notes issues like fragmentation, misinformation, censorship and surveillance that have arisen and questions how to re-empower users through technology and multistakeholderism while ensuring regulations lead to an improved Internet.
Misinformation, Fake News and Harmful Content Laws in the WorldCharles Mok
Charles Mok discusses the challenges with laws around misinformation, fake news, and harmful content globally. He notes that determining what is fake news or misinformation is difficult, as is deciding who should make that judgment. Laws introduced in Germany to stop hate speech have been copied by authoritarian regimes to censor dissent. Similarly, India's new IT rules give the government broad powers to censor content deemed unlawful on social media. Attempts to regulate disinformation raise issues around freedom of expression and the risk of increased censorship. Overall, the presentation cautions that establishing authorities to determine disinformation is problematic and enforcing such rules is not straightforward.
From Re-Opening to Recovery: Post-COVID Security and Privacy Issues and TrendsCharles Mok
The document discusses post-COVID security and privacy issues and trends as countries move from pandemic response to recovery. It summarizes contact tracing and exposure notification apps used in various countries and debates around balancing privacy and public health. Issues around vaccine passports and digital identity are also examined, including standards, privacy, inequality and implications. Emerging technologies could advance vaccine tracing but also enable health surveillance. Overall balances in these issues will be important for societies post-pandemic.
Charles Mok discusses the potentials and limitations of artificial intelligence (AI). While AI shows promise in areas like diagnosing diseases, fighting climate change, and translating languages, it also faces limitations. AI may struggle with tasks requiring "System 2" thinking like abstract reasoning, planning, and understanding cause and effect. It can also replicate and even amplify the biases of its human creators. To realize AI's full potentials, Mok argues we must know its limitations, impose proper oversight and controls, ensure ethics and equality are incorporated, and take a realistic approach focused on specific tasks rather than assuming it can solve all problems.
Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation ParametersSafe Software
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

LF Energy Webinar: Carbon Data Specifications: Mechanisms to Improve Data Acc...DanBrown980551
This LF Energy webinar took place June 20, 2024. It featured:
-Alex Thornton, LF Energy
-Hallie Cramer, Google
-Daniel Roesler, UtilityAPI
-Henry Richardson, WattTime
In response to the urgency and scale required to effectively address climate change, open source solutions offer significant potential for driving innovation and progress. Currently, there is a growing demand for standardization and interoperability in energy data and modeling. Open source standards and specifications within the energy sector can also alleviate challenges associated with data fragmentation, transparency, and accessibility. At the same time, it is crucial to consider privacy and security concerns throughout the development of open source platforms.
This webinar will delve into the motivations behind establishing LF Energy’s Carbon Data Specification Consortium. It will provide an overview of the draft specifications and the ongoing progress made by the respective working groups.
Three primary specifications will be discussed:
-Discovery and client registration, emphasizing transparent processes and secure and private access
-Customer data, centering around customer tariffs, bills, energy usage, and full consumption disclosure
-Power systems data, focusing on grid data, inclusive of transmission and distribution networks, generation, intergrid power flows, and market settlement data
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.
zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.
