At this time of year (January 2012) a number of industry commentators pop their heads above the parapet to suggest what we’re likely to see happening in the market over the coming year. Not to be left out, I asked the neutrinobi team what they thought the market would look like over the next 18 months, and after some great debate, this is what we came up with:
Increased interest in collaborative/social BI
Demand for BI without boundaries
Enterprises embrace a wider portfolio of BI tools
Data Discovery comes of age
The real BI search is ‘Freeform’
Data integration - overcoming the silos
Interactive data visualisation becomes a fundamental requirement
Demand for real-time results means in-memory technology becomes mainstream
To big data...and beyond!
Cloud-based BI? The conversation continues
This paper explains each of these projections in a bit more detail, and throughout January, with help from Jon Woodward (CEO), Patrick Foody (CTO), and Andy Bailey (Pre-Sales Consultant), we’ll be looking at some of these concepts in a bit more detail in our blog: http://www.nbi-blog.com.

The Information Advantage - Information Access in Tomorrow's EnterpriseElizabeth Lupfer
The document discusses the rising costs of information work for organizations and how search-based applications and integrated information access platforms can help address this issue. It notes that information workers currently spend significant time searching for and analyzing information, which costs organizations millions annually. New technologies are emerging that use search architectures rather than databases to better handle unstructured human interactions and language. Search-based applications in particular combine search, workflows, domain knowledge and collaboration to streamline specific business processes. The market for search and discovery software is growing as organizations seek to improve access to information and automate repetitive tasks.

Towards Expertise Modelling for Routing Data Cleaning Tasks within a Communit...Umair ul Hassan
https://www.insight-centre.org/content/towards-expertise-modelling-routing-data-cleaning-tasks-within-community-knowledge-workers
Presented at the ICIQ 2012
ABSTRACT:
Applications consuming data have to deal with variety of data quality issues such as missing values, duplication, incorrect values, etc. Although automatic approaches can be utilized for data cleaning the results can remain uncertain. Therefore updates suggested by automatic data cleaning algorithms require further human verification. This paper presents an approach for generating tasks for uncertain updates and routing these tasks to appropriate workers based on their expertise. Specifically the paper tackles the problem of modelling the expertise of knowledge workers for the purpose of routing tasks within collaborative data quality management. The proposed expertise model represents the profile of a worker against a set of concepts describing the data. A simple routing algorithm is employed for leveraging the expertise profiles for matching data cleaning tasks with workers. The proposed approach is evaluated on a real world dataset using human workers. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of using concepts for modelling expertise, in terms of likelihood of receiving responses to tasks routed to workers.

This document summarizes the changes in the scope of business intelligence (BI) over recent years. It discusses how BI has evolved from being IT-managed standard reporting to a more self-service, visual, and interactive environment. Key changes highlighted include BI tools now being used and managed by business users, greater flexibility for users to explore and create custom reports, advanced visualizations and interactive dashboards, and the inclusion of more advanced analytics beyond standard SQL. The blurring of lines between reporting and analytics tools and between IT and business user roles is seen as an overall positive development that enables more flexibility, discovery, and insight.
The document discusses Business Intelligence 3.0 and the Panorama Necto platform. It notes that BI 3.0 aims to make BI more relevant, self-service, and social. Traditional BI tools were too complex for most business users and did not deliver insights. Panorama Necto addresses these issues by automatically delivering relevant insights, enabling easy self-service analysis of both structured and unstructured data, and allowing users to collaborate socially within the tool.
The document discusses the need for "NextGen" business intelligence (BI) software that better meets the needs of younger, more tech-savvy employees entering the workforce. Current BI tools are often too difficult to use and not aligned with how newer generations interact with and use technology. NextGen software needs to be highly visual, interactive, collaborative and provide guided experiences for analyzing and sharing information. The document provides ideas for key features of NextGen software, including the ability to create guides to share analytic processes and rapid, seamless data handling and visualization.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

Big
data
means
that
there’s
more
data
to
store,
integrate,
search
and
analyze.
However,
big
data
shouldn’t
necessitate
Big
BI
–
large
monolithic
machines
and
Petascale
databases.
Enterprises
are
becoming
increasingly
savvy
in
their
approach
to
handling
Big
Data
for
BI.
We
believe
that
big
data
will
con=nue
to
drive
new
approaches
to
BI
in
2012.

On
the

it
would
appear
an
ideal
way
of
scaling
to

On

releasing

conduc8ng
analysis
on
petabytes
of
data
outside
the
security
of

would
appear
to
be
an

constraint.
Despite

cloud-‐based
