Time to move from process focused automation to data centric automation pptMindfields Global
With workflows becoming increasingly complicated, the current process-centric approach is becoming more expensive to run – either through cost of automation or through the cost of people doing the work. With increasing focus on data in organisations we believe that data-driven organisations must also think differently when it comes to the role of data in their automation activities. Companies can continue to devise more complex and costly work-arounds to make a process-centric approach work in a data-centric world, or they can use an automation approach that is inherently data-centric to drive the next phase of Hyperautomation.

📕 Agenda:
Welcome note
Intelligent Document Processing in UiPath
UiPath Document Understanding is a feature that integrates with UiPath's RPA platform to streamline the extraction of information from documents.
1. 'Document Types': supports wide range document
2. 'Intelligent Data Extraction': Utilizes machine learning models for accurate extraction of structured data from unstructured documents.
3. Classifier and Extractor Activities: UiPath provides activities like the Document Classification and Data Extraction activities to train models and extract information.
4. Learning Scope: Allows the system to learn from human feedback, improving accuracy over time.
5. Validation Station: A user-friendly interface for reviewing and correcting extracted data, enhancing the learning process.
6. Integration with Orchestrator: Seamlessly integrates with UiPath Orchestrator for centralized management and monitoring of document processing.
7. Scalability: Scales to handle large volumes of documents, making it suitable for enterprises with diverse document processing needs.
UiPath Document Understanding enhances automation capabilities by making it easier to handle documents with varied formats and extract valuable information accurately.
Shape the future of Document Understanding with Extended Capabilities
Active learning is a next-gen AI-powered experience within UiPath Document Understanding. It is designed to drive 80% faster model training, decreasing the number of samples required when creating customer-specific models.
UiPath's Document Understanding, integrated with Active Learning, enables continuous improvement of machine learning models by leveraging human feedback. Let see the capability:
1. Human-in-the-Loop Learning: Active Learning involves human reviewers validating and correcting model predictions, providing feedback to improve accuracy.
2. Incremental Model Training: As the system receives feedback, it iteratively updates and refines the machine learning models, adapting to new patterns and variations in document structures.
3. Adaptive Data Learning: Active Learning helps the model focus on ambiguous or challenging cases, enhancing its ability to handle diverse document types.
4. Reduced Annotation Effort: By prioritizing uncertain or critical instances for human review, Active Learning minimizes the amount of labeled data needed for training.
5. Enhanced Accuracy Over Time: The system becomes more accurate as it learns from user interactions, resulting in improved document understanding and data extraction capabilities.
UiPath's incorporation of Active Learning in Document Understanding contributes to a more dynamic and adaptable approach to handling document processing tasks within automation workflows.

Digital revolution is disrupting businesses like never before! Ability to extract actionable insight from a large amount of disparate data has become the determining factor of competitive advantage! Everyday new business models are created around data and forcing the incumbents to reinvent themselves to be relevant. Consumer facing businesses felt this pressure early on but eventually every business need to be data driven. But what is the best strategy to address this digital disruption? Our experience says the core data infrastructure modernization is the logical starting point! In this session, we will share trends, strategies and our experience on rejuvenating data integration landscape to address digital disruptions.
UiPath is a leading provider of Robotic Process Automation (RPA) solutions. RPA is a technology that allows organizations to automate repetitive and rule-based tasks typically performed by humans. UiPath offers a comprehensive platform for building and deploying software robots, also known as "bots," that mimic human interactions with computer systems to perform tasks in various applications.
Real time insights for better products, customer experience and resilient pla...Balvinder Hira
Businesses are building digital platforms with modern architecture principles like domain driven design, microservice based, and event-driven. These platforms are getting ever so modular, flexible and complex.
While they are built with architecture principles like - loose coupling, individually scaling, plug-and-play components; regulations and security considerations on data - complexity leads to many unknown and grey areas in the entire architecture. Details on how the different components of this complex architecture interact with each other are lost. Generating insights becomes multi-teams, multi-staged activity and hence multi-days activity.
Multiple users and stakeholders of the platform want different and timely insights to take both corrective and preventive actions.Business teams want to know how business is doing in every corner of the country near real time at a zipcode granularity. Tech teams want to correlate flow changes with system health including that of downstream stability as it happens.Knowing these details also helps in providing the feedback to the platform itself, to make it more efficient and also to the underlying business process.
In this talk we intend to share how we made all the business and technical insights of a complicated platform available in realtime with limited incremental effort and constant validation of the ideas and slices with business teams. Since the client was a Banking client, we will also touch base handling of financial data in a secure way and still enabling insights for a large group of stakeholders.
We kept the self-service aspect at the center of our solution - to accommodate increasing components in the source platform, evolving requirements, even to support new platforms altogether. Configurability and Scalability were key here, it was important that all the data that was collected from the source platform was discoverable and presentable. This also led to evolving the solution in lines of domain data products, where the data is generated and consumed by those who understand it the best.
How to get RPA initiative work beyond proof of concept?Abhinav Singhal
Global RPA market grew by 63% in 2018 and is expected to
reach USD 1.3 billion in 2019. Telecom and IT sector
being the biggest adopter, followed by the banking,
financial services, and insurance industries, and retail
and consumer goods.
However, as companies try to scale beyond the
proof of concept the momentum starts decreasing.
Installing hundreds of bots takes a lot longer and is
more complex than the initial pilot. It introduces an
additional architecture layer into the system, requiring
more governance, security, and oversight by the IT
organization, already burdened with maintaining legacy
systems. The economic outcomes often aren’t as rosy as
originally projected. While it may be possible to automate
30 percent of tasks for the majority of occupations, that
doesn’t neatly translate into a 30 percent cost reduction.
People do many different things, and bots may only
address some of them. Unless the process and the organization are also aligned true efficiencies don’t kick in. Also, asking
operators to program bots that could take their jobs can understandably create high resistance at the front line.
As a result, several programs get put on hold beyond the pilot stage. So, what is the recipe for a successful rollout and
implementation?
The OpenText™ AppWorks™ Platform is the ideal solution to build new business applications and new business processes faster and in a simplified way. The solution leverages prior investments in enterprise software and legacy systems to bring together all existing IT assets and empowers the organization with the ability to monitor the entire enterprise under one platform.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

What is robotic process automation?
Robotic process automation (RPA) is a software technology that makes it
easy to build, deploy, and manage software robots that emulate human's
actions interacting with digital systems and software.
Just like people, software robots can do things like understand what’s on a
screen, complete the right keystroke, navigate systems, identify and extract
data, and perform a wide range of defined actions. But software robots can
do it faster and more consistently than people, without the need to get up
and stretch or take a coffee break.
In simple words RPA is a term used for software tools that partially or fully
automate human activities that are manual, rule-based, and repetitive.
They work by replicating the actions of an actual human interacting with one
or more software applications to perform tasks such as data entry, process
standard transactions, or respond to simple customer service queries.

Today, RPA is driving new efficiencies and freeing people from repetitive tedium
across a broad swath of industries and processes. Enterprises in industries
ranging from financial services to healthcare to manufacturing to the public sector
to retail and far beyond have implemented RPA in areas as diverse as finance,
compliance, legal, customer service, operations, and IT. And that’s just for
starters.
RPA has become so widespread because it is broadly applicable. Virtually any
high-volume, business-rules-driven, repeatable process is a great candidate for
automation—and increasingly so are cognitive processes that require higher-
order AI skills.
Where can RPA be used?

RPA is not AI; AI is not RPA. But the combination of RPA and AI unlocks massive new possibilities
for enterprises everywhere. For one thing, RPA technology now makes it possible to insert
advanced AI skills in the form of machine learning models, natural language processing (NLP),
character and image recognition, and more into RPA robots. Giving robots these AI skills
dramatically expands their ability to handle cognitive processes that require things like:
• Understanding documents including semi-structured or unstructured data
• Visualizing screens (including virtual desktops)
• Comprehending speech and carrying on conversations and chats
Is RPA the same as artificial intelligence (AI)?
16. 16
Document Understanding process flow
Intelligent document processing is not just
about accelerating operational efficiency.
It’s also about improving accuracy, customer
experience, compliance, and employee
satisfaction. It’s about making your
organization successful and contributing to
your company’s growth.

Types of documents and their processing
Structured – repetitive forms and documents with
a structured template that can contain handwritten
text, signatures, checkboxes (different forms,
passports, licenses, time sheets)
Semi-structured – documents containing
fixed and variable parts like tables (invoices,
receipts, purchase orders, medical bills,
bank statements, utility bills)
Unstructured – documents with no fixed format
(various contracts, agreements, emails,
disease descriptions, drug prescriptions, news,
voice scripts)
- Rule-based / template-
based approach
- Processes data fixed in
format
- Model-based approach
- Extracts same info from
each document
- Model-based approach
- Needs to “read” the text to
extract the meaning and
