The Iceberg Approach - Power from what lies beneath in SEO for a mobile-first...Dawn Anderson MSc DigM
In a mobile-first world, with time-poor users, research crazy and mainly browsing with one eye and one hand, we need to consider a few new approaches to SEO. Information overload is all around. We need to think about how we can maintain relevance with less in some cases. We need to consider the Iceberg Theory and simultaneously consider the Iceberg Syndrome as well as placement position in user view for content and links
Discovery Is The New Cocaine - Going Beyond EngagementMing
[Questions? mingyeow@gmail.com]
Web2 is about participation, but what comes after that? We think it is all about Discovery, the art of helping users serendipitously discover content and people that they did not know they wanted to know. Discovery is what makes people come back again and again, interact, and explore.
This deck explains what Discovery is, the psychological reasons behind it, and presents a set of very very practical examples and guidelines on how it can be implemented.
The inspiration for this deck was simple- We ourselves were frustrated by apparent random-ness at which we were implementing discovery for our own startup (discoverio), and were not able to find any resources that presented discovery in a holistic manner.
So just like anyone of you would have done, we decided to come out with process, and share it around with the rest of the world! :)
The most powerful piece is probably the very last slide, but we had not had time to expand on it yet.
Here it is, and we will love feedback! Contact details at the end. ;)

Analysis of Three Personalized Search Tools in Relation to Information Search...jtachau
Personalized search is becoming mainstream with the rollout of iGoogle®. While only beginning to impact consumers, these search tools require search experts to retool and rethink how they optimize websites. Three personalized search tools are analyzed to illustrate common features related to the information search stage of the consumer buying process (Kotler & Keller, 2006, p. 191). Conclusions provide a summary of potential SEO (search engine optimization) tactics and five key considerations.
When SEO and UX practices are combined, the results can be extraordinary. Rand walks through how the practices have evolved to have far more combined value than tensions and tradeoffs, and some ways for each to learn from the other.
Keywords for search engine optimisation (SEO) can be as simple as a single word or as complex as a sentence. When it comes to attracting and engaging an audience, the ability of your content to be found in online searches using the proper keywords is critical.

Dawn takes a look at ‘The Iceberg Approach to SEO’. As we move increasingly to an era of smaller screen search (or no screen), we need to consider ways to say more with less and communicate this to both search engines and users. She explores semantics, the knowledge graph, schema and ontologies combined with UX as methods to pass themed ‘equivalence’ from below the surface of the site or the individual page.
Data Informed Design - Good Tech Test - May 2018Courtney Clark

Data/AI driven product development: from video streaming to telehealthXavier Amatriain
Healthcare is different from any other application domain, or is it not? While it is true that there are specific aspects, such as high stakes decisions and a complex regulatory framework, that make healthcare somewhat different, it is also the case that many of the lessons learned from building data-driven products in other domains translate remarcably well into healthcare. This is particularly so because healthcare is also a user facing domain, where users can be both patients or healthcare professionals. Given that data has shown to improve user experience while ensuring quality and scalability, few would argue that healthcare cannot benefit from being much more data-driven than it has traditionally been.
In this talk, I described how this experience building impactful data and AI solutions into user facing products for decades can be leveraged to revolutionize telehealth. At Curai, we combine approaches such as state-of-the-art large language models with expert systems in areas such as NLP, vision, and automated diagnosis to augment and scale doctors, and to improve user experience and healthcare outcomes. We will see some of those applications while analyzing the role of data and ML algorithms in making them possible.
AI-driven product innovation: from Recommender Systems to COVID-19Xavier Amatriain
AI/Machine Learning has become an integral part of many household tech products, from Netflix to our phones. In this talk I will draw from my experience driving AI teams at some of those companies to showcase how AI can positively impact products as different as Netflix and Curai, an online telehealth service.
With half of the world’s population lacking access to healthcare services, and 30% of the adult population in the US having inadequate health insurance coverage to get even basic access to services, it should have been clear that a pandemic like COVID-19 would strain the global healthcare system way over its maximum capacity. In this context, many are trying to embrace and encourage the use of telehealth as a way to provide safe and convenient access to care. However, telehealth in itself can not scale to cover all our needs unless we improve scalability and efficiency through AI and automation.
In this talk, we will describe how our work on combining latest AI advances with medical experts and online access has the potential to change the landscape in healthcare access and provide 24/7 quality healthcare. Combining areas such as NLP, vision, and automatic diagnosis we can augment and scale doctors. We will describe our work on combining expert systems with deep learning to build state-of-the-art medical diagnostic models that are also able to model the unknowns. We will also show our work on using language models for medical Q&A . More importantly, we will describe how those approaches have been used to address the urgent and immediate needs of the current pandemic.

From one to zero: Going smaller as a growth strategyXavier Amatriain
This talk was designed for Engineering managers. Having been at companies of all sizes, I recommend managers who want to grow to go smaller. At the same time I reflect on what are the important things that remain constant regardless the size and context and which ones don't.
Deep learning has accomplished impressive feats in areas such as voice recognition, image processing, and natural language processing. Deep learning enthusiasts have rushed to predict that this family of algorithms is likely to take over most other applications in the near future. This focus on deep architectures seems to have cast a shadow over more “traditional” machine learning and data science approaches, leaving researchers and practitioners alike wondering whether there is any point in investing in feature engineering or simpler models.
In this talk, I will go over what deep learning can and cannot do for you, both now and in the near future. I will also describe how different approaches will continue to be needed, and why their demand will likely grow despite the rise of deep learning. I will support my claims not only by looking at recent publications, but also by using practical examples drawn from my experience at companies at the forefront of machine learning applications, such as Quora.

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:

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).
