Speaker GuideYou’ve been selected to give a TEDx Talk. Cong.docxAASTHA76
Speaker Guide
You’ve been selected to give a TEDx Talk. Congrats! You’re doing great so far. Now what?
Over the years we’ve come up with a few dos and don’ts on how to give a great talk.
Though these steps are in no way comprehensive, they contain some guiding principles
that have been known to work.
Step 1: Get familiar with the form »
Step 2: Develop an idea »
Step 3: Make an outline and script »
Step 4: Create slides »
Step 5: Rehearse »
Step 6: Give your talk »
Step 7: Savor the glory »
1) Get familiar with the form
What is a TEDx Talk?
TEDx Talks are a showcase for speakers presenting well-formed ideas in under 18
minutes. If you haven’t seen a TEDx Talk, go to TED.com and watch at least one. Like this
one: Phil Plait: How to defend Earth from asteroids
Why 18 minutes?
Because it works. An audience is good at focusing on one subject at a time in relatively
short chunks.
But, really, can I go over 18 minutes?
No -- it wouldn't be a TEDx Talk. The time limit is part of what makes TEDx Talks work.
And remember: Shorter talks are not lesser talks. It may only take 5 minutes to make your
point unforgettably. Like this one: Joe Smith: How to use a paper towel
2) Develop an idea
What makes a good idea for a talk?
Like a good magazine article, your idea can be new or surprising, or challenge a belief your
audience already has. Or it can be a great basic idea with a compelling new argument
behind it.
An idea isn’t just a story or a list of facts. A good idea takes evidence or observations and
draws a larger conclusion.
Do I need to be an expert on my topic?
You do not need to be the world’s foremost expert on the topic, but you do have to be an
expert. Please remember that the audience relies on you to give accurate information, so
whatever you say in your talk, please fact-check — especially facts you may take for
granted: statistics, historical anecdotes, scientific stats. If you're drawing an example from
a discipline that is not your main area of knowledge, use research from widely accepted
and peer-reviewed sources, and, if at all possible, consult with experts directly.
Is my idea ready?

http://www.ted.com/talks/joe_smith_how_to_use_a_paper_towel.html
Write your idea down in one or two sentences. Ask yourself three questions:
Is my idea new?
Are you telling people something you're pretty sure they have not heard before?
Is it interesting?
Think about how your idea might apply to a room full of varied kinds of people. Who might
be interested in it?
Is it factual and realistic?
If you are presenting new research, make sure your idea is backed by data and peer-
reviewed. If you are presenting a call to action, make sure it can be executed by members
of your audience.
If you ans.

Netflix's Chief Content Officer looked at their viewer data to make "House of Cards", betting on a drama about a senator, which became a hit with a 9.1 rating. However, the document notes that while data analysis is useful, it does not always lead to optimal results, and following data alone can lead to wrong decisions. Complex problems require both deep analysis of parts and combining them insightfully.
1. The document discusses how a working knowledge of data science can help leaders make confident decisions.
2. It outlines key steps for turning analytics into genuine insights such as understanding experiments and data generation processes, using domain knowledge, and developing a "know it and not just think it" culture.
3. The steps include understanding experiments and data generation processes, using domain knowledge from one's own business to explain results, and developing a culture where analytics are truly understood rather than just considered.
David McCandless turns complex data sets into simple, beautiful diagrams that reveal unseen patterns and connections. Good design is the best way to navigate information overload and may change how we see the world. He suggests visualizing information so we can see important patterns and connections, designing it to tell a story or focus on what matters. Information visualization can be applied beyond data to ideas and concepts, with the goal of solving information problems.
The document discusses how data-driven companies are more profitable and outlines traits of data-driven organizations. It then provides a self-assessment for individuals and management teams to evaluate how data-driven they are. The two most relevant insights are:
1) Companies that use data to make decisions at all levels of the organization and bring diverse data into decision making are more successful.
2) To be truly data-driven, organizations must invest in high quality data and data sources to develop a deep understanding and make reasonable decisions despite uncertainty.
The document discusses the importance of including all parts of society, especially writers, poets and artists, in data analysis to provide human context. It also discusses how history is being stored on devices and data only gains meaning when put in a human context. Managers must understand the importance of considering the human element in the data they analyze to gain comprehensive insights. There is significant contribution that big data and computation can provide for social and emotional aspects, which are new avenues for business.
How to Start Thinking Like a Data Scientist" by Thomas C. RedmanParul Verma
This document outlines how managers can start thinking like data scientists through a simple exercise. It recommends asking a question, defining relevant data to answer it, collecting that data, creating visualizations and summary statistics, and developing insights. This helps managers understand the importance of data analysis for effective decision making and gaining competitive advantages. The insights are relevant for Indian managers as it encourages incorporating data-driven thinking in their daily work for better outcomes.
Susan Etlinger explains that interpreting data based on whether it makes you feel comfortable or successful is likely incorrect. As we receive more data, we need stronger critical thinking skills to move beyond just counting things to truly understanding them. Interpreting data requires context about how it was created and limitations in metrics. Managers should focus on humanities and social sciences to provide needed context for better data-driven decisions.
Data Scientists : The Hottest job of the 21st centuryParul Verma
Data scientists bring structure to large amounts of unstructured data by analyzing it. They help decision makers move from ad hoc analysis to engaging with big data in a systematic way. Data scientists want to build things with data rather than just provide advice, and are attracted to jobs that give them real-time insights into developing situations to advise executives on how data impacts products, processes, and decisions.
Alan Smith explores the mismatch between people's perception of their ability to understand statistics and the reality. While many think they have strong statistical skills, people are actually quite poor at intuitive statistics due to factors like individual experiences and media focusing on exceptions. This disconnect is important for managers to understand when making decisions based on consumer data and surveys in diverse markets like India.
The document describes a college management app called CollegeConnect. It is a 2-in-1 app that provides both project management and task organization for college students involved in various clubs and departments. The app aims to help students stay organized and track their work across multiple groups. It offers features like private/group chat, task manager, reminder settings, and media sharing. The company plans to launch free and premium versions of the app to attract customers and break even within 3 years. It sees the college student market as a potential opportunity given increasing mobile phone usage and the need for better task organization across groups.
The document introduces the key players at Pemberton and provides context for analyzing test market results for Pemberton's new product, Krispy Natural. It conducted market tests in Columbus and 3 Southeast cities to understand consumer preferences and receptiveness. Based on reviewing the test results, Pemberton must determine the best marketing strategy to roll out Krispy Natural nationally and ensure competitive advantage over other salty snack brands. The document will examine Pemberton's marketing strategies, the test market rollout and analysis of results. It will also review how Pemberton entered the salty snacks market originally and reasons for a fall in sales.
Twitter is a global social media platform that allows users to share short messages called tweets. It has had a significant societal impact, such as spreading information during emergencies and political events. Though it now has over 500 million users worldwide, Twitter faces challenges in continuing its global expansion, such as curbing abusive behavior and retaining users and executives.
The Building Blocks of QuestDB, a Time Series Databasejavier ramirez
Talk Delivered at Valencia Codes Meetup 2024-06.
Traditionally, databases have treated timestamps just as another data type. However, when performing real-time analytics, timestamps should be first class citizens and we need rich time semantics to get the most out of our data. We also need to deal with ever growing datasets while keeping performant, which is as fun as it sounds.
It is no wonder time-series databases are now more popular than ever before. Join me in this session to learn about the internal architecture and building blocks of QuestDB, an open source time-series database designed for speed. We will also review a history of some of the changes we have gone over the past two years to deal with late and unordered data, non-blocking writes, read-replicas, or faster batch ingestion.

Global Situational Awareness of A.I. and where its headedvikram sood
You can see the future first in San Francisco.
Over the past year, the talk of the town has shifted from $10 billion compute clusters to $100 billion clusters to trillion-dollar clusters. Every six months another zero is added to the boardroom plans. Behind the scenes, there’s a fierce scramble to secure every power contract still available for the rest of the decade, every voltage transformer that can possibly be procured. American big business is gearing up to pour trillions of dollars into a long-unseen mobilization of American industrial might. By the end of the decade, American electricity production will have grown tens of percent; from the shale fields of Pennsylvania to the solar farms of Nevada, hundreds of millions of GPUs will hum.
The AGI race has begun. We are building machines that can think and reason. By 2025/26, these machines will outpace college graduates. By the end of the decade, they will be smarter than you or I; we will have superintelligence, in the true sense of the word. Along the way, national security forces not seen in half a century will be un-leashed, and before long, The Project will be on. If we’re lucky, we’ll be in an all-out race with the CCP; if we’re unlucky, an all-out war.
Everyone is now talking about AI, but few have the faintest glimmer of what is about to hit them. Nvidia analysts still think 2024 might be close to the peak. Mainstream pundits are stuck on the wilful blindness of “it’s just predicting the next word”. They see only hype and business-as-usual; at most they entertain another internet-scale technological change.
Before long, the world will wake up. But right now, there are perhaps a few hundred people, most of them in San Francisco and the AI labs, that have situational awareness. Through whatever peculiar forces of fate, I have found myself amongst them. A few years ago, these people were derided as crazy—but they trusted the trendlines, which allowed them to correctly predict the AI advances of the past few years. Whether these people are also right about the next few years remains to be seen. But these are very smart people—the smartest people I have ever met—and they are the ones building this technology. Perhaps they will be an odd footnote in history, or perhaps they will go down in history like Szilard and Oppenheimer and Teller. If they are seeing the future even close to correctly, we are in for a wild ride.
Let me tell you what we see.

ViewShift: Hassle-free Dynamic Policy Enforcement for Every Data LakeWalaa Eldin Moustafa
Dynamic policy enforcement is becoming an increasingly important topic in today’s world where data privacy and compliance is a top priority for companies, individuals, and regulators alike. In these slides, we discuss how LinkedIn implements a powerful dynamic policy enforcement engine, called ViewShift, and integrates it within its data lake. We show the query engine architecture and how catalog implementations can automatically route table resolutions to compliance-enforcing SQL views. Such views have a set of very interesting properties: (1) They are auto-generated from declarative data annotations. (2) They respect user-level consent and preferences (3) They are context-aware, encoding a different set of transformations for different use cases (4) They are portable; while the SQL logic is only implemented in one SQL dialect, it is accessible in all engines.

State of Artificial intelligence Report 2023kuntobimo2016
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a multidisciplinary field of science and engineering whose goal is to create intelligent machines.
We believe that AI will be a force multiplier on technological progress in our increasingly digital, data-driven world. This is because everything around us today, ranging from culture to consumer products, is a product of intelligence.
The State of AI Report is now in its sixth year. Consider this report as a compilation of the most interesting things we’ve seen with a goal of triggering an informed conversation about the state of AI and its implication for the future.
We consider the following key dimensions in our report:
Research: Technology breakthroughs and their capabilities.
Industry: Areas of commercial application for AI and its business impact.
Politics: Regulation of AI, its economic implications and the evolving geopolitics of AI.
Safety: Identifying and mitigating catastrophic risks that highly-capable future AI systems could pose to us.
Predictions: What we believe will happen in the next 12 months and a 2022 performance review to keep us honest.
2. If you go on the TED website, you can
currently find there over a full week of
TEDTalk videos, over 1.3 million words of
transcripts and millions of user ratings.
That's a lot of data!
3. If you took all this data and put it through
statistical analysis, could you reverse
engineer a TEDTalk?
Could you create the ultimate TEDTalk?
And also, could you create the worst
possible TEDTalk that they would still let
you get away with?
5. TOPIC
Your topic strongly correlates with how
users will react to your talk.
Most favorite TED Talks are those that
feature topics we can connect with, both
easily and deeply, such as happiness,
our own body, food, emotions. And the
more technical topics, such as
architecture, materials and, strangely
enough, men, those are not good topics
to talk about.
6.
7. DELIVERY
TED is particular about time BUT...
you should talk as long as they will let
you.
Because the most favorite TED Talks
are, on average, over 50 percent
longer than the least favorite ones. So,
talk until they drag you off the stage
unless you're trying to be funny,
inspiring or beautiful.
8.
9. A few rulesto obey -
● As a speaker, provide a service to the
audience and talk about what I will give
you, instead of saying what I can't
have.
●
Do not cite The New York Times.
● It's okay to fake intellectual capacity.
If you don't understand something, just
say, "etc., etc."
10. VISUALS●
The most obvious visual thing on stage
is the speaker. If you want to be among
the most favorite TED speakers, you
should let your hair grow a little bit
longer than average, make sure you
wear your glasses and are slightly
more dressed-up than the average TED
speaker.
●
Consider going for slides and props.
●
And the most important thing - the
mood onstage. Color plays a very
important role.
11. So, now it's time to put it all together
and design the ultimate TED Talk. A tool
to create your own TED Talk – TEDPad -
a matrix of 100 specifically selected,
highly curated sentences that you can
easily piece together to get your own
TED Talk.
You only have to make one decision,
and that is: Are you going to use the
white version or the black version?
12.
13. List the two most
(important/interesting/
informative)
insights from this talk ?
14. ●
First insight - Generalising and
expanding the concept of TED Talks to
all kinds of talks including seminars,
conferences, presentations, meetings –
the most favorite speeches are the ones
that people connect with.
● Second insight – Visuals, - expressions,
attire, color etc. play an important role
in how the audience receives the
speaker.
15. Why and How are these
insights relevant to a
manager in India?
16. ● Managers can incorporate the favorite
words, ideas into their speeches.
● They should stay and look smart before
speaking to be received well.
●
Their technical presentations need to
tell a story to connect better with their
audience.
