Are you getting the most out of your data?SAS Canada
Data is an organizations most valuable asset, but raw data by itself has little value. To drive data’s worth, it must be managed and processed to extract value and information that decision makers can leverage and turn into actionable insights. It is the ways in which a company choses to put that information to use that will determine the true value of its data.
Through business intelligence and business analytic tools, businesses are enabling themselves to make more strategic, accurate decisions, while optimizing business processes. Hear from Info-Tech Research Group and learn what you need to consider when choosing an analytics solution provider. The webinar will highlight Info-Tech Research Group’s recently published vendor landscape for selecting and implementing Business Intelligence and Business Analytics solutions. The report positions SAS as the only leader across all four categories of Enterprise BI, Mid-Market BI, Enterprise BA and Mid-Market BA.
Creating a clearly articulated data strategy—a roadmap of technology-driven capability investments prioritized to deliver value—helps ensure from the get-go that you are focusing on the right things, so that your work with data has a business impact. In this presentation, the experts at Silicon Valley Data Science share their approach for crafting an actionable and flexible data strategy to maximize business value.
7 Pillars Of Data Strategy - High Five 2018Evan Levy

Hub16: Motorola: Identifying cross-sell and up-sell opportunitiesAnaplan
Data is the new oil. Businesses are overwhelmed by the volume, velocity, and variety of new data about their market, customers, and competitors. Converting this massive data into “actionable insights” for sales and marketing teams is a major challenge faced by many B2B and B2C companies. For example, many market-changing companies have algorithms to predict who, when, and how customers will make a purchase (think Amazon's and Netflix’s recommendation engine). They have predictive/ prescriptive models and algorithms that assist their sales and marketing teams through the customer buying process. They are also coming up with innovative ways to monetize their data assets and increase revenue. In this session, you will learn how B2B companies, such as Motorola, are using Big Data and historical customer purchases to assist sales and marketing efforts. We will walk you through one use case of generating sales insights, up-sell, and cross-sell opportunities using Anaplan models.
Most organizations measure too much and get too little insight in return. Others have learned to master their data and use process scorecards to understand, prioritize, and act.

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.
Techniques to optimize the pagerank algorithm usually fall in two categories. One is to try reducing the work per iteration, and the other is to try reducing the number of iterations. These goals are often at odds with one another. Skipping computation on vertices which have already converged has the potential to save iteration time. Skipping in-identical vertices, with the same in-links, helps reduce duplicate computations and thus could help reduce iteration time. Road networks often have chains which can be short-circuited before pagerank computation to improve performance. Final ranks of chain nodes can be easily calculated. This could reduce both the iteration time, and the number of iterations. If a graph has no dangling nodes, pagerank of each strongly connected component can be computed in topological order. This could help reduce the iteration time, no. of iterations, and also enable multi-iteration concurrency in pagerank computation. The combination of all of the above methods is the STICD algorithm. [sticd] For dynamic graphs, unchanged components whose ranks are unaffected can be skipped altogether.
