Overview of Data and Analytics Essentials and FoundationsNUS-ISS
As companies increasingly integrate data across functions, the boundaries between marketing, sales and operations have been blurring. This allows them to find new opportunities that arise by aligning and integrating the activities of supply and demand to improve commercial effectiveness. Instead of conducting post-hoc analyses that allow them to correct future actions, companies generate and analyze data in near real-time and adjust their operations processes dynamically. Transitioning from static analytics outputs to more dynamic contextualized insights means analytics can be delivered with increased relevance closer to the point of decision.
This talk will cover the analytics journey from descriptive, predictive and prescriptive analytics to derive actionable and timely insights to improve customer experience to drive marketing, salesforce and operations excellence.
With the use of Predictive Analytics, companies are able to predict future trends based on existing available data. The actionable business predictions can help companies achieve cost savings, higher revenue, better resource allocation and efficiency. Predictive analytics has been used in various sectors such as banking & finance, sales & marketing, logistics, retail, healthcare, F&B, etc. for various purposes.
Get set to learn more about the different stages of predictive analytics modelling such as data collection & preparation, model development & evaluation metrics, and model deployment considerations will be discussed.
In this digital transformation era, we have seen the rise of digital platforms and increased usages of devices particularly in the area of wearables and the Internet of Things (IoT). Given the fast pace change to the IoT landscape and devices, data has become one of the important source of truth for analytics and continuous streaming of data from sensors have also emerged as one of the fuel that revolutionise the emergence of IoT. These includes health telematics, vehicle telematics, predictive maintenance of equipment, manufacturing quality management, consumer behaviour, and more. With this, we will give you an introduction on how to leverage the power of data science and machine learning to understand and explore feature engineering of IoT and sensor data.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
