Using cognitive computing to better analyze human communicationDigital Reasoning
Dr. Marten den Haring, senior vice president of products at Digital Reasoning, explores how cognitive computing can be used to better analyze human communication (e.g. email, chat, social media, voice, etc.) in order to reveal suspicious activity. This presentation was part of a series at the recent Alpha Innovation Required (AIR) Summit, which was sponsored by Franklin Templeton Investments.
This white paper provides an overview of the patented technologies and associated processes that combine to deliver a unique and highly scalable solution for unstructured text/data analytics
Tim Estes - Information Systems in an Entity Centric WorldDigital Reasoning
Tim Estes, CEO of Digital Reasoning, talks about the use of Hadoop and other scalable technologies along with Digital Reasoning's analytics for automated understanding of cloud-scale text challenges.
This presentation was delivered at Hadoop World in New York in Oct 2010
Mining the Social Web for Fun & Profit Within Your OrganizationDigital Reasoning
In this talk, Matthew Russell explores why it is imperative for organizations and companies to leverage social media and how they can do it. In today's world of massive, rapidly evolving data streams, it is very challenging to sift through the data and extract the hidden nuggets of critical business intelligence. With advances in machine learning and natural language processing, decision makers can now look at all of their data and see what's really important. Matthew presents examples of how companies like Digital Reasoning are using social media to answer questions like:
Who know whom, and what friends do they have in common?
How frequently are certain people communicating with one another?
Who are the quietest/chattiest people in a network?
Who are the most influential/popular people in a network?
What are people chatting about (and is it interesting)?
Got Chaos? Extracting Business Intelligence from Email with Natural Language ...Digital Reasoning
In this presentation, O'Reilly author and Digital Reasoning CTO Matthew Russell along with Dr. Steve Kramer, founder and chief scientist at Paragon Science, discuss how Digital Reasoning processed the Enron corpus with its advanced Natural Language Processing (NLP) technology - effectively transforming it into building blocks that are viable for data science. Then, Paragon Science used dynamic graph analysis inspired from particle physics to tease out insights from the data in order to better understand whether an enterprise fiasco such as the Enron scandal could have been thwarted.

Turning Data into Infographics: An Interactive Workshop for Problem SolversUNCResearchHub
This workshop was given at the UNC Undergraduate Library on October 4, 2016. It steps through the process of finding data sources, exploring data, and ultimately creating a persuasive infographic using that data. A brief introduction to infographics and best practices are included.
This slide set examines the contention that opening data is an inherently good thing - that the case for open data is an open and shut case. It sets out a contrary view that whilst open data is desirable, much more critical thinking is required as to what this means in practice and the possible negative implications of opening data, and calls for a wider debate about the relative merits and politics of open data and how we go about opening data.

How Technology is Changing Disaster ManagementGisli Olafsson
A presentation given in Taiwan on how technology is affecting the field of disaster management.
Smart use of technology is disrupting the way we prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters. Ever increasing computing power allows for more complex prediction and forecasting to be done, enabling better early warning systems to be developed. Human and electronic sensors are now able to provide disaster managers with information about the situation on the ground in the immediate aftermath of a disaster. Explosive growth in mobile phone ownership also enables citizens to become active participants in the disaster response process instead of being simply receivers of assistance. Social networks and mobile platforms allow communities to coordinate their own response and recovery effort, often faster and more efficient than the government can. In this session, we will discuss how we disaster managers can harness these changes instead of fearing them.

Humanitarian Response in Times of Mass Collaboration and Networked IntelligenceGisli Olafsson
Slides to a talk I gave at Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. In this talk I look at how digital age technologies, like social media, are revolutionizing the way humanitarian response will be conducted in the future. I explore the role of technology and information sharing in humanitarian response and look at how crowdsourcing, mass collaboration, volunteer & technical community self-organization, and "information to the edge" will push totally new approaches into this space.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

3. Why is information important?
noise becomes data when it has a cognitive pattern
data becomes information when its assembled into a coherent
whole which can be related to other information
information becomes knowledge when its integrated with other
information in a form that is useful for making decisions and
determining actions,
knowledge becomes understanding when related to other
knowledge in a manner useful in anticipating, judging and
acting,
understanding becomes wisdom when its informed by
purpose, ethics, principals, memory and projection
Dee Hock, 1996

14. Prioritizing and Processing Messages
„There are 5 people trapped in the Caribbean Market“
• Where is the Caribbean Market?
• When was this reported?
• Who reported it?
• How can we contact the person reporting?
• Has this already been reported?
• Has this been acted upon?
• Are the people alive?
• Is this a trust-worthy report?
• What happens if we ignore this report?
15. Processed and Prioritized Reports
• 5 people can be heard alive in the Caribbean
Supermarket which is at the corner of 5th and Park (Lat
Long). Source of this report is American Embassy. This
has not been reconfirmed by other reports. No teams
have been reported going to this area. Supermarket is a
reinforced concrete building.
How do we get to this improved report?
17. Verification
• Make sure to record source & other metadata
• Add a ranking to assess credibility (1-High; 5 low)
• Different quality control needed on different types of data
19. Feedback loop
• If something doesn‘t seem right – can you reach back to the
source?
• If you publish the data to those who report it they will usually
provide you feedback
• Social media has been shown to be very self-correcting due
to its openess with the data
20. Triangulate
• Are there more people affected than live in that area?
• Do the numbers add up?
22. Situation Reports
Compare and Relate
Group and Locate
Summarize
Qualify
Make sure to compare to previous state
Utilize administrative boundaries to group
information
Describe patterns and trends instead of
individual cases and reports
Make sure to qualify the information as much
as possible
