Talk given on September 2011 to the Bay Area R User Group. The talk walks a stochastic project SVD algorithm through the steps from initial implementation in R to a proposed implementation using map-reduce that integrates cleanly with R via NFS export of the distributed file system. Not surprisingly, this algorithm is essentially the same as the one used by Mahout.
This is a slide deck that I have been using to present on GeoTrellis for various meetings and workshops. The information is speaks to GeoTrellis pre-1.0 release in Q4 of 2016.

Enabling Access to Big Geospatial Data with LocationTech and Apache projectsRob Emanuele
LocationPowers OGC BigGeoData 2016
This presentation will discuss tools in the open source landscape that are used to handle big geospatial data. In particular, we will focus on how Apache frameworks such as Spark and Accumulo are "geospatially enabled" by four projects: GeoTrellis, GeoWave, GeoMesa, and GeoJinni. These four projects all participate in LocationTech, a working group under the Eclipse Foundation. In particular, we will discuss how each of these LocationTech technologies implement spatial indexing (e.g. by using space filling curves) in order to provide quick access to data, and other common themes among the four projects. Attendees should walk away from this presentation understanding important parts of the Apache big data ecosystem, a set of LocationTech projects that belong to the cutting edge of enabling those Apache project's handling of geospatial data, as well as some solutions to common problems when dealing with large geospatial data.

From the Hadoop Summit 2015 Session with Ted Dunning:
Just when we thought the last mile problem was solved, the Internet of Things is turning the last mile problem of the consumer internet into the first mile problem of the industrial internet. This inversion impacts every aspect of the design of networked applications. I will show how to use existing Hadoop ecosystem tools, such as Spark, Drill and others, to deal successfully with this inversion. I will present real examples of how data from things leads to real business benefits and describe real techniques for how these examples work.

How Data-Driven Approaches are Changing Your Data Management Strategies
Introducing data-driven strategies into your business model alters the way your organization manages and provides information to your customers, partners and employees. Gone are the days of “waterfall” implementation strategies from relational data to applications within a data center. Now, data-driven business models require agile implementation of applications based on information from all across an organization–on-premises, cloud, and mobile–and includes information from outside corporate walls from partners, third-party vendors, and customers. Data management strategies need to be ready to meet these challenges or your new and disruptive business models will fail at the most critical time: when your customers want to access it.

Bringing Structure, Scalability, and Services to Cloud-Scale StorageMapR Technologies
Deploying storage with a forklift is so 1990s, right? Today’s applications and infrastructure demand systems and services that scale. Customers require performance and capacity to fit the use case and workloads, not the other way around. Architects need multi-temperature, multi-location, highly available, and compliance friendly platforms that grow with the generational shift in data growth and utility.
Churn prediction is big business. It minimizes customer defection by predicting which customers are likely to cancel a service. Though originally used within the telecommunications industry, it has become common practice for banks, ISPs, insurance firms, and other verticals. More: http://info.mapr.com/WB_PredictingChurn_Global_DG_17.06.15_RegistrationPage.html

How to Leverage the Cloud for Business Solutions | Strata Data Conference Lon...MapR Technologies
IT budgets are shrinking, and the move to next-generation technologies is upon us. The cloud is an option for nearly every company, but just because it is an option doesn’t mean it is always the right solution for every problem.
Most cloud providers would prefer that every customer be tightly coupled with their proprietary services and APIs to create lock-in with that cloud provider. The savvy customer will leverage the cloud as infrastructure and stay loosely bound to a cloud provider. This creates an opportunity for the customer to execute a multicloud strategy or even a hybrid on-premises and cloud solution.
Jim Scott explores different use cases that may be best run in the cloud versus on-premises, points out opportunities to optimize cost and operational benefits, and explains how to get the data moved between locations. Along the way, Jim discusses security, backups, event streaming, databases, replication, and snapshots across a variety of use cases that run most businesses today.
Is your organization at the analytics crossroads? Have you made strides collecting and sharing massive amounts of data from electronic health records, insurance claims, and health information exchanges but found these efforts made little impact on efficiency, patient outcomes, or costs?
Changes in how business is done combined with multiple technology drivers make geo-distributed data increasingly important for enterprises. These changes are causing serious disruption across a wide range of industries, including healthcare, manufacturing, automotive, telecommunications, and entertainment. Technical challenges arise with these disruptions, but the good news is there are now innovative solutions to address these problems. http://info.mapr.com/WB_Geo-distributed-Big-Data-and-Analytics_Global_DG_17.05.16_RegistrationPage.html
MapR announced a few new releases in 2017, and we want to go over those exciting new products and features that are available now. We’d like to invite our customers and partners to this webinar in which members of the MapR product team will share details about the latest updates.
3 Benefits of Multi-Temperature Data Management for Data AnalyticsMapR Technologies
SAP® HANA and SAP® IQ are popular platforms for various analytical and transactional use cases. If you’re an SAP customer, you’ve experienced the benefits of deploying these solutions. However, as data volumes grow, you’re likely asking yourself: How do I scale storage to support these applications? How can I have one platform for various applications and use cases?
Cisco & MapR bring 3 Superpowers to SAP HANA DeploymentsMapR Technologies
SAP HANA is an increasingly popular platform for various analytical and transactional use cases with its in-memory architecture. If you’re an SAP customer you’ve experienced the benefits.
However, the underlying storage for SAP HANA is painfully expensive. This slows down your ability to grow your SAP HANA footprint and serve up more applications.
You’re not the only one still loading your data into data warehouses and building marts or cubes out of it. But today’s data requires a much more accessible environment that delivers real-time results. Prepare for this transformation because your data platform and storage choices are about to undergo a re-platforming that happens once in 30 years.
With the MapR Converged Data Platform (CDP) and Cisco Unified Compute System (UCS), you can optimize today’s infrastructure and grow to take advantage of what’s next. Uncover the range of possibilities from re-platforming by intimately understanding your options for density, performance, functionality and more.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
Generating a custom Ruby SDK for your web service or Rails API using Smithyg2nightmarescribd
Have you ever wanted a Ruby client API to communicate with your web service? Smithy is a protocol-agnostic language for defining services and SDKs. Smithy Ruby is an implementation of Smithy that generates a Ruby SDK using a Smithy model. In this talk, we will explore Smithy and Smithy Ruby to learn how to generate custom feature-rich SDKs that can communicate with any web service, such as a Rails JSON API.
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.
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.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.
