Divvy bikes have changed the way we can get around Chicago. This talk will demonstrate the impact of Divvy with an interactive visualization. Rather than focus on the tools and languages used to build it, the talk will emphasize design and content aspects of the visualization (at divvy.datasco.pe) as well as some recent work to quantify the similarity of bike stations. The talk will feature a live-demo of the visualization and the opportunity for attendees to share their own thoughts and hypotheses about bike trip patterns.
Often talks about data science focus on tools and methods. Tools are important and it is really important to stay up to date with the latest tools and technologies (they are the “how”). But data science is also about finding good problems and solving them (the “why”). Good problems are ones that are both valuable (someone really wants an answer) and tractable (there is data you can find to help you answer it). Today, with modern technologies, many more problems are tractable than ever before; lots of data is freely available on the internet and sensors make it easy to collect ad hoc data sets. This talk will emphasize the importance of asking “why” by exploring a few examples from Datascope’s client work and our various side projects where, if we hadn’t asked “why”, the outcomes would have been far less useful.

It is often mistakenly thought that Google does natural language processing in its search results, as of 2018 it still doesn't. This presentation looks at how Google started, its historical approach to language, and how it is working towards NLP along with new methods of machine learning that are supporting the "strings to things" interpretation of text and voice and how Rank Brain plays into all of this.
The document summarizes a presentation given by Jenn Vickery and Scott Bartlett at the ClickZ Live Global Conference from August 10-12, 2015. The presentation discusses the importance of using both qualitative and quantitative data to tell accurate stories and solve customer problems, rather than just selling. It also covers how the mobile landscape and consumer behaviors are changing, making trust more important.
Summary: Why does Google have algorithm updates? What are the myths and realities behind Google's Core Updates (starting with Medic), does E-A-T matter, and what can you do to recover your site traffic if you were hit with this update.

Google's search algorithms have evolved from relying solely on keyword matching and link analysis to incorporating semantic understanding enabled by knowledge graphs and machine learning. Over time, Google has moved from processing unstructured "bags of words" to understanding entities and their relationships in order to better match user intent. The introduction of techniques like Hummingbird and the Knowledge Graph allowed Google to incorporate semantic interpretations and contextual information into search rankings.

Data & Analytics Club - Data Visualization Workshopnsrivast
This document provides an overview of data visualization techniques. It discusses how visualization can leverage human visual perception to more efficiently process and understand data. Various data types and encoding channels are described, along with common visualization types like scatter plots, line charts, bar charts and their applications and limitations. Design principles of integrity, effectiveness and aesthetics are also covered.
This document summarizes Krist Wongsuphasawat's work in data visualization at Twitter. It describes how he obtains tweet data, visualizes it using tools like R and D3 to show trends over time, locations, and text. Examples include visualizations of events like the World Cup and State of the Union. The process involves getting relevant data, visualizing it, evaluating the results, and iterating. The goal is to transform big Twitter data into smaller, insightful visualizations that tell stories.
In this session, you will see a demo of Oracle Business Intelligence Visual Analyzer, taking a real-world business use case from end to end, to learn how straightforward it is to tell a compelling story with data and prototype with greater speed, while gaining insights into information with this new cutting-edge data visualization access.
The document discusses principles of data visualization. It provides an overview of Tamara Munzner's framework for visualization design, which involves four levels of analysis: the domain situation, data/task abstraction, visual encoding and interaction idioms, and algorithms. The framework aims to translate real-world problems into visual representations that help users accomplish tasks. The document also outlines different types of data visualization like scientific and information visualization. Finally, it notes discoverability as a key purpose of visualization, to gain new insights from data in an interactive manner.

Not all data visualizations can be simplified to a speedometer or bar chart. Big data visualizations require more sophisticated visualization tools and more brainpower. Here are some big data visualizations examples that will blow your mind!
Raffael Marty gave a presentation on big data visualization. He discussed using visualization to discover patterns in large datasets and presenting security information on dashboards. Effective dashboards provide context, highlight important comparisons and metrics, and use aesthetically pleasing designs. Integration with security information management systems requires parsing and formatting data and providing interfaces for querying and analysis. Marty is working on tools for big data analytics, custom visualization workflows, and hunting for anomalies. He invited attendees to join an online community for discussing security visualization.
Data visualizations make huge amounts of data more accessible and understandable. Data visualization, or "data viz," is becoming largely important as the amount of data generated is increasing and big data tools are helping to create meaning behind all of that data.
This SlideShare presentation takes you through more details around data visualization and includes examples of some great data visualization pieces.

[Presented on SXSW Interactive 2010]
The document discusses various techniques for visualizing data, from basic charts to approaches for big data. It covers common basic chart types like line graphs, bar charts, scatter plots, and pie charts. For big data, it addresses challenges like large data volumes, different data varieties, visualization velocity, and filtering. The document recommends understanding your data and goals to select the best visualizations, and introduces SAS Visual Analytics as a tool that performs automatic charting to help users visualize big data.
A talk at Data Visualization Summit 2014 in Santa Clara, CA
ABSTRACT: What is the thought process that transforms data into visualizations? In this presentation, I will talk about guidelines that will help you when starting with raw data, walk through standard techniques, and also discuss things to keep in mind when making design decisions.
Fundamental Ways We Use Data VisualizationsInitial State
The document discusses 5 fundamental ways that data visualizations are used:
1. To analyze data through visual representations like charts, graphs, maps and plots in order to see trends, anomalies, correlations and patterns.
2. To discover information buried in large datasets through interactive visualizations that allow exploration of data to find unknown information.
3. To support a story by providing context, engaging audiences and emphasizing key points, as effective speakers use visuals to make stories memorable.
4. To tell a story on its own, with some data visualizations serving as the story without text.
5. To teach, as visual learning is more efficient and retains information better than text alone.

Learn to design effective charts and graphs.
Your data is only as good as your ability to understand and communicate it. The right visualization is essential to incite a desired action, whether from customers or colleagues. But most marketers aren’t mathematicians or adept at data visualization. Fortunately, you don’t need a PhD in statistics to crack the data visualization code.

The Digital Analytics Solution of the FuturePeter O'Neill
What will the world of Digital Analytics be like in 5 or 10 years time? This talk predicts the changes across Culture, People, Process & Technology, for both businesses with big budgets and smaller organisations.
Making the Future Better With Data.
Embedding open data into mainstream education curriculum.
Improving data literacy skills for better employment, innovation and civic engagement prospects.
The document discusses trends and predictions for the events, meetings, hospitality, and travel industry over the next 20 years. Some key predictions include:
- The number of event planners will grow significantly as event planning becomes a more common career path.
- Meeting and event professionals will need to take a more strategic approach to planning as the industry consolidates and more aspects of event logistics are automated.
- Technology will become more integrated into events, with virtual audiences and seamless discovery becoming standard components.
- Live events will remain an important source of revenue for most companies even as virtual elements are incorporated.
The document discusses the future of digital analytics. It describes how in the past, digital analytics solutions were only possible through gifted experts, but now tools exist for less skilled users. The future will include more personalized experiences, optimization of marketing and content, automated issue identification, and forecasting. Digital analytics culture will need to change to see it as driving business success and make decisions based on data. For smaller businesses, expectations must be set appropriately, focusing on key tasks and using limited expert support instead of large teams. The technology structure will need to focus on the core tasks.
The document discusses the role of humans in an era of big data and machine learning. It outlines that humans are needed to tag data to help machines understand it, and that crowdsourcing is one way to obtain tagged data at scale. The presentation also covers how the human-in-the-loop paradigm involves humans actively training machine learning models through techniques like active learning.

Overview
When you think of “data visualization” what is the very first thing that comes to mind? For many, it’s bar graphs, pie charts, and histograms, or maybe some combination thereof. You’re not wrong – but it’s so much more than that. The era of pie and bar charts has come and gone; these traditional visualizations alone are insufficient. Now is the time of data visualized on a rich canvas. A canvas that not only informs, but immerses you in information in much the same way that your favourite book immerses you in its narrative.
Objective
When attendees leave, that they walk away with an understanding of how development, design and data are strongly intertwined with one other. When aligned with customers needs, these aspects create a meaningful and actionable experience.
Target Audience
Designers and developers interested furthering their appetite for visualization
Five Things Audience Members Will Learn
How data visualization can lead to data exploration
Creating an experience with information
New models of data visualization
Telling a story through data
How to blend design and development through data visualization
Data Scientists: Your Must-Have Business InvestmentKalido
This document summarizes a presentation on data science and the role of data scientists. It discusses how data science has evolved from earlier fields like statistics and data mining. It also profiles common skills of data scientists like data integration, programming, analytics, and communication. Additionally, the presentation outlines how data science differs from traditional business intelligence by focusing more on prediction and interacting with large, unstructured datasets in real-time. The document promotes data science as a key business investment and announces an upcoming summer webinar series on related topics.
In today’s world, we each carry the world’s knowledge in our pants and purses. As consumers, our uninhibited ability to access information made possible by the proliferation of high-speed broadband, smart mobile devices, and peer-to-peer social networks has forever changed the way we research, consider and ultimately buy the products and services that become a part of our personal and business lives. Research from the Marketing Leadership Council even goes as far as to suggest that approximately 57% of purchase decisions are made prior to the buyer ever communicating with a sales representative.

The document discusses the concept of "Big Data" and argues that there is no such thing. It notes that the term is primarily a buzzword used in IT and defines the 4Vs typically associated with Big Data. However, it states that most companies actually have "Big, Data Problems" rather than true Big Data problems, and that traditional databases can still solve many problems. It advocates focusing first on properly defining, storing, and understanding data before worrying about issues of scale or using new technologies. Engineering, the right tools, asking the right questions, building strong teams, and continuous learning are more important than prematurely pursuing Big Data.

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.

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.
