A look at metrics and analytics in Second Life from an educational perspective. This was initially presented at the Immersive Education Symposium at Boston College in January, 2008.
Web analytics and social media metrics provide you with powerful ways to track how people interact with your content and what they’re saying about your foundation. They help you understand what works (and what doesn’t!) with your constituents and donors.
Recommendation algorithms and their variations such as ranking are the most common way for machine learning to find its way into a product where it is not the main focus. In this talk we’ll dig into the subtleties of making recommendation algorithms a seamless and integral part of your UX (goal: it should completely fade into the background. The user should not be aware she’s interacting with any kind of machine learning, it should just feel right, perhaps smart or even a tad like cheating); how to solve the cold start problem (and having little training data in general); and how to effectively collect feedback data. I’ll be drawing from my experiences building Metabase, an open source analytics/BI tool, where we extensively use recommendations and ranking to keep users in a state of flow when exploring data; to help with discoverability; and as a way to gently teach analysis and visualization best practices; all on the way towards building an AI data scientist.
Service Tools and Social Media Data Sharing Use CaseGe Peng
What to improve sharing and expand user base of your data? This presentation provides a use case study with some of the available service tools and social media in addition to peer-reviewed data publishing.
So you want to identify the numbers that move your business' bottom line AND the numbers that move your readers. You want to know how, in a sea of data, you can select a few reasonable metrics that really matter today and take action based upon what they tell you. We're here to help. We'll discuss what metrics matter, how they should influence your decision-making, and what metrics tools should look like in five years' time. We'll be sure to share tips and slides so you can put our practical advice to use right away.

Are you helping people remember you and your brands in their search for information?
Are you serving the self-serving consumer? Are you ignoring them?
Are you mindful of the buyers journey as they self-serve and self-educate on their journey to solving their problems.

“But I’m a small business owner. I don’t have time for research,” you say? On the contrary, you do and you’d better. In this tag-team presentation, GDC’s Marketing Manager Elizabeth Anderson and Cultural Anthropologist/Ethnographer Tim Craig, Ph.D. will walk you through how anyone on any budget in any time constraint can easily make use of the best research available. Tim will talk about conducting primary research (through simple, quick focus groups and interviews) and validating secondary research so you don’t take some reporter’s skewed interpretation as fact. Elizabeth will show you how easy it is to utilize social monitoring and website analytics that will assist in collecting data, as well as how to make sense of all those numbers. And together they’ll show you how these two processes can work simultaneously and continuously. That way, your customer insight will be as informed, relevant and constant as all your other business operations.
Some insights into social media analytics tool, including a high-level overview of the technology behind the data configuration - or how the tools filter social media conversations.

A System for Stratified Datalog Programs - Master's thesis presentationSimone Spaccarotella
Research has made big steps in the field of database theory, leading to large technological improvements of the existing systems. These systems ensure efficiency and suitable computational power to handle the so-called
“big data”. In particular, relational DBMSs provide high performance on read/write operations, and support a query language sufficiently expressive such as SQL. Furthermore, there exist logic-based systems - the so-called Deductive Database Systems (DDS) - that provide support to recursive queries, enabling complex reasoning capabilities and allowing querying of databases, using Datalog-like rules. Among the available DDS systems, one of the most known implementation is DLV. In particular, there is an extension of DLV - called DLVDB - that merges the potential of a DDS with the well-known optimization techniques implemented in the current DBMSs, improving rea-
soning efficiency on big data sets. DLVDB can evaluate a Datalog program having EDBs stored on a relational DBMS. Unfortunately, it can not handle database types in a satisfying way, and it does not support all DBMSs.
Moreover, it is difficult to integrate DLVDB into a real system, due to the lack of an API that simplifies the interoperability with third-party software.
In this thesis, we present two new software systems that address these problems. The first one is called RelGrounder, which is an evaluator of stratified Datalog programs with EDBs stored on relational databases. Unlike
DLVDB , it is database-independent, and can manage the data types. The second one is called RESTdlv, a RESTful web service for remote calls to RelGrounder, DLVDB and DLV.
A web-based editing tool (developed with GWT and Ext-GWT) for semantic annotation of RESTful web services, developed during my 4 months training at KMI - Open University - Milton Keynes - UK.

Launch Your Streaming Platforms in MinutesRoshan Dwivedi
The claim of launching a streaming platform in minutes might be a bit of an exaggeration, but there are services that can significantly streamline the process. Here's a breakdown:
Pros of Speedy Streaming Platform Launch Services:
No coding required: These services often use drag-and-drop interfaces or pre-built templates, eliminating the need for programming knowledge.
Faster setup: Compared to building from scratch, these platforms can get you up and running much quicker.
All-in-one solutions: Many services offer features like content management systems (CMS), video players, and monetization tools, reducing the need for multiple integrations.
Things to Consider:
Limited customization: These platforms may offer less flexibility in design and functionality compared to custom-built solutions.
Scalability: As your audience grows, you might need to upgrade to a more robust platform or encounter limitations with the "quick launch" option.
Features: Carefully evaluate which features are included and if they meet your specific needs (e.g., live streaming, subscription options).
Examples of Services for Launching Streaming Platforms:
Muvi [muvi com]
Uscreen [usencreen tv]
Alternatives to Consider:
Existing Streaming platforms: Platforms like YouTube or Twitch might be suitable for basic streaming needs, though monetization options might be limited.
Custom Development: While more time-consuming, custom development offers the most control and flexibility for your platform.
Overall, launching a streaming platform in minutes might not be entirely realistic, but these services can significantly speed up the process compared to building from scratch. Carefully consider your needs and budget when choosing the best option for you.

Are preferences or statistics about a topic valid forever?
If not, what’s the “best” time window to take in account?

I’ve got questions for you
Inheritance, taxonomy, membership, how do we use these
relationships between contents in a domain in order to infer a

Is the interest of a user black and white only? How can I

Can we improve the quality of the user experience by

content according to
type and level of interest?
