Leveraging AI the Right Way (for Product Managers)David Murgatroyd
Artificial Intelligence is transforming almost every kind of product as innovative techniques receive deserved attention. But careful leadership from Product Managers is crucial in turning that innovation into something that’s not only valuable but that also respects your own values. This talk provides frameworks to identify where AI can impact our products in the ways we want and to maximize that impact throughout the product life cycle.
Applying machine learning to a particular business need becomes more straightforward with each technological advance. But today’s businesses have a variety of needs which are too numerous to be addressed one-at-a-time and too different to be addressed one-size-fits-all. We examine three significant challenges to building an effective ML portfolio and ways to address them thru the framework of the ML product lifecycle.
Digital Summit 2016: The Digital Nomad Marketing StrategyGeoffrey Colon
Geoffrey Colon discusses the shift from the Information Age to the Creative Age. During the Creative Age, tools are abundant, creativity and imagination are commodities, and businesses can be started quickly. People can work anywhere and for themselves through cloud computing. The focus is shifting to purpose, potential, and inspiration over traditional business metrics. Colon advocates adapting to constant change through nomadic thinking and measuring engagement and sentiment over traditional marketing metrics.
We've been told our whole lives ownership is key to success. Even in marketing we are told how much we need to have a paid/owned/earned strategy. But how if this strategic approach that puts an emphasis on ownership is all incorrect? What if the key to success in the 21st century of communications was similar to our economic condition where renting and utilizing resources when necessary is more important? What if we went full circle to the agricultural age due to cloud computing technology and adopted a nomadic strategy? Where we went not where we could grow or gather food but to grown and cultivate partnership relationships. Where we help grow new business models where the lines between employees and customers are blurred?
In this presentation, be pushed to think beyond the normal by Geoffrey Colon, Microsoft communications designer and author of "Disruptive Marketing: What Growth Hackers, Data Punks, and Other Hybrid Thinkers Can Teach Us About Navigating the New Normal" on how to set up a nomadic social by design and agile structure for success whether you're a sole proprietor, small business, NFP, government agency or Fortune 100 company.
What we may have learned in the recent past as a best practice must now be unlearned and relearned constantly so that we stay as flexible as our customers. In the end, it won't matter where you do business, as long as you measure specific KPIs that will help you with growth and customer satisfaction around your product, culture, organization or service.

They held a Camp Expo event to drive families to summer camp programs. They analyzed their social media outreach strategy and found that while some partnerships were valuable, other tactics like ambassador blogging did not have the desired impact. They learned that their target audience engages most on Facebook and blogs. While over 1,000 families registered for the expo, only 332 attended, showing the need to better convert online traffic. The document emphasizes measuring analytics to understand campaigns, engaging audiences through two-way communication, and continually modifying strategies based on results.

The document discusses measuring vendor domination in open source projects. It proposes analyzing contribution acceptance data from projects to determine if there is a correlation between a vendor being well-represented on a project's PMC and that vendor's contributions being more likely to be accepted. Specifically, it suggests collecting pull request, PMC membership, and contributor employment data from projects to classify contributions and test for such a correlation. As a starting point, it has analyzed pull request data for Apache Airflow and Cassandra projects between certain dates. Further steps proposed are comparing results to known vendor-dominated projects, testing additional weightings, expanding to more projects, and examining effects of new PMC members.

Talknote: The Rise of Audiences as Brand Assetsdmg events Asia
Without an audience, your marketing is a tree falling in the forest that nobody hears. Every single business needs an audience to succeed, and that’s exactly why we pay to reach them through advertising. But what about your proprietary audiences—subscribers, fans, and followers that your company alone can reach? Who is in charge of their development? Their management? Their long-term growth? Join author Jeff Rohrs as he demonstrates why audience may just be one of the most important assets you can build for your brand today.
The document discusses India's youth consumer behavior. It notes that over half of India's population of over 1 billion people is under 30 years old, representing tremendous potential. Through ethnographic studies including observations and interviews, some characteristics of India's youth consumers were uncovered. They seek quick results, are influenced by vernacular celebrities and peers, and enjoy flaunting flashy items as a way to demonstrate social status. Their spending power, preferences, influencers, and openness to new brands were also examined through online surveys and focused group interviews with people from diverse economic and social backgrounds. The findings suggest that India's future will be shaped by this rising generation of young consumers.

Social Media – a Corporate Love Affair or Just a Nightmare?Christian Brosstad
This document summarizes a presentation given by Christian Brosstad and Mari Grini of SpareBank 1 on the topic of social media. Some key points from the presentation include:
- Social media has become an important way for companies to interact with customers and audiences, through platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and crowdsourcing initiatives.
- Organizations must consider both the opportunities and risks of social media, such as security issues and separating personal and professional online identities.
- SpareBank 1 has found success engaging customers through multiple social media channels while also educating employees on best practices for social media use.
The document discusses the concept of "Fast Twitch Media" and how marketers need to adapt to changing consumer behaviors driven by new technologies. It notes that consumers now expect immediate gratification and engagement through mobile devices and social platforms. Effective marketers will map and leverage "Twitch Points" to subtly guide consumers toward transactions in a non-intrusive way, bringing value to the consumer experience. The goal is to reduce the distance between consumers and actions like purchases through highly relevant interactions.
Machine Learning is transforming every industry with innovative techniques receiving deserved attention. But turning innovation into value requires integrating into practical technology products, often with the leadership of product managers. We'll talk about how to help your friendly neighborhood Product Owner: identify where ML can make a difference, develop metrics to validate and refine it, identify data to feed it, prioritize work to develop it, and structure teams to deliver it in a satisfying way.

Deep Learning has been called the ‘new electricity’ — transforming every industry. Innovative architectures and applications receive deserved attention. But to turn innovation into value requires integrating deep learning into practical technology products. Such products, including Spotify's, are often developed following the principles of agile. This talk focuses on approaching deep learning in an agile way and on integrating deep learning into the agile cadence of a modern software development organization.
Think about these things when choosing a job, especially in technology:
Purpose
Mastery
Autonomy
(these first three were well articulated by Daniel Pink in his book Drive)
Culture
Domain
Effectiveness
Compensation
Machine Learning has become a must to improve insight, quality and time to market. But it's also been called the 'high interest credit card of technical debt' with challenges in managing both how it's applied and how its results are consumed.
The document discusses challenges and opportunities for combining multiple human language technology (HLT) systems to reduce errors. It provides an example of combining name matching systems, where the existing system is supplemented by a new system. The key points are:
1) Combining systems from different technologies can reduce errors by benefiting from each system's strengths.
2) The new system should address the same task as the existing system but use a different approach to find matches the existing system misses.
3) Systems should be combined when the existing system's error types are known and the new system can be easily integrated without destabilizing the overall system.
We all know normalization is crucial to delivering high quality search results. We don’t want uninteresting variations between the query and the document to lead to missed hits (e.g., “celebrity” v. “celebrities”). Normalization of dictionary words is well understood, but what if your application focuses on names? Whether you’re tackling patent examination, sports records, e-commerce, watchlist screening or many other topics, names are often the key. Can your users find “Abdul Jabbar, Karim” if they search for “Kareem AbdalJabar” or “كريم عبد الجبار”? Solr application architects have attempted to address this through custom integration of nickname lists, edit distance, case normalization, phonetic encoding and n-grams (see example #1 or example #2), but doing so requires significant effort and may not address all desired variations. A simpler approach is to use a Solr field type for names that handles these linguistic nuances behind-the-scenes. We’ll talk about how we built this sort of field type via a Solr plug-in for the Rosette Name Indexer. We’ll also discuss examples of use cases this has enabled, how it can be tuned if necessary, and how it connects to the broader trend of entity-centric search.
Linguistic Considerations of Identity Resolution (2008)David Murgatroyd
Identity resolution systems indicate if two individuals really are the same person. Identity retrieval systems help you find the individual you’re after. These systems appear anywhere from analysts’ desks to border crossings. But how do can you tell if a system's any good before it's deployed? You need to understand the problems it should tackle and how to measure how well it’s doing.
This talk considers metrics and data for evaluating identity resolution and retrieval systems. It also explores the linguistic challenges these systems face.
Entity extraction finds names in documents, providing important raw material for big decisions. But finding all mentions of the name “George Bush” is very different than finding all mentions of the 43rd US President. Making big decisions from big data is hopeless unless analytics advance from providing snippets of text to providing statements of truth. Such advances present challenges both of accuracy and of usability. We’ll explore these challenges and demonstrate ways of addressing them.
http://basistechweek.com/hlt.html
There's never been a more exciting time to be involved in Human Language Technology (HLT). Advances in algorithms, architectures, and applications are making real differences in fulfilling missions around the world. We'll use the perspective of one specific, end-to-end use case starting from primary source collection going all the way through finished intelligence to show the value and importance of moving your HLT thinking from strings to things, from configuration to adaption, from isolation to collaboration, and from small scale to Big Text. This perspective will serve as a guide to the other talks of the day which together will give you greater insight in applying HLT to your mission.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
