Barcodes store data that can be read by barcode readers and converted into human-readable text. Barcode readers use light sensors to detect light reflected by the black and white bars of a barcode and convert it into electrical signals that are decoded into data. Common uses of barcodes include tracking inventory in warehouses and retail stores. Barcodes increase efficiency by allowing automatic identification of items during processes like shipping and checkout.
The document is a quarterly trend report from ScanLife analyzing mobile barcode scanning data. Some key findings are:
- ScanLife processed over 5 million unique users in Q1 2012, nearly double from a year ago. Total scans were over 13 million, a 157% increase year-over-year.

This document discusses the rise of social TV and how TV networks and advertisers are capitalizing on viewers' use of multiple screens while watching TV. It provides examples of shows that have successfully integrated social media, such as Oprah's Lifeclass, American Idol, and Fashion Star. It also outlines some challenges in monetizing social TV interactions and measuring their impact.
This document provides examples of how 55 brands are using visual content effectively on key social media networks like Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, and Twitter. It outlines strategies for things like using cover photos and albums on Facebook, pinning visually appealing content to multiple boards on Pinterest, showing products and key figures on Instagram, and utilizing background images on Twitter to highlight features, prompts, and new releases. The conclusion encourages readers to incorporate these lessons across their marketing and use analytics to measure the results of their optimized social media strategies.
1) Social media usage continues to grow rapidly and is now integral to daily life for many. Mobile access is driving much of this growth, now accounting for over 60% of time spent on social media.
2) Key findings include the rise of social TV and using social media for customer service, with nearly half of US consumers now using social media to contact brands.
3) Pinterest has seen enormous growth, with the largest increase in unique audience and time spent of any social network in 2012 across desktop and mobile.
1. Pinterest is driving significant referral traffic that is comparable to major social networks like Twitter and YouTube. Its growth has been exponential with visits increasing 40 times in 6 months.
2. While currently dominated by lifestyle content, Pinterest's audience is expanding rapidly and business/B2B interests will grow as more users join. Writing it off as just for non-business audiences is short-sighted.
3. Pinterest allows companies to attract audiences to their content and messages through visually engaging images and infographics, even if the underlying content is text or product-focused. A picture can draw people
The document provides an executive summary and key insights about the top digital trends for 2012. Some of the main points include:
- Smartphone, tablet, and e-reader adoption will continue to grow rapidly, fueling increased consumption of digital content.
- Marketers and retailers are focusing more on analyzing vast amounts of consumer data to better target customers and measure campaign effectiveness.
- Content owners are also using more sophisticated data analysis to understand how media is consumed and shared across different platforms.
- Magnetic content that blurs the lines between advertising and content, such as branded videos and apps, is gaining traction as a way for brands to engage audiences.
- The proliferation of devices people use to access
The document compares various metrics between Canada and the U.S. in 2012. Some key findings include:
- Americans are more likely to have HD-capable TVs and use video-on-demand services than Canadians.
- Cord-cutting is more prevalent in the U.S., with more Americans downgrading their paid TV subscriptions.
- Smartphone and tablet ownership is similar between the two countries, but Android devices make up a larger share in the U.S.
- Americans are more engaged with TV shows and personalities on social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter.
Foresee: Mobile Satisfaction: Apple and Amazon Excel (Holiday 2011)Di Gallo
This document summarizes key findings from a mobile satisfaction research study conducted by Foresee during the 2011 US holiday season. The study found that Apple and Amazon provided the best mobile experiences, scoring 85 and 84 respectively on customer satisfaction. Traditional websites generally scored higher than mobile sites. Usage of mobile phones for shopping tasks like product research and purchases is growing. Good mobile experiences can increase likelihood of future purchases both through mobile and other channels.
This document summarizes a presentation on social television and the relationship between social media buzz and TV ratings. It finds that while TV viewing still dominates over online and mobile, people are increasingly device-shifting and place-shifting content. Social networking is a major driver of media consumption. Analysis shows a relationship between social media buzz volumes and TV ratings for premieres, midseason episodes and finales, especially for younger demographics. Specifically, a 9% increase in buzz four weeks before a premiere corresponds to a 1% ratings increase for 18-34 year olds.
The document summarizes key social media trends for brands in 2012 based on discussions at the Social Summit 2012. The four main trends discussed are: 1) Data-responsive brands that quickly adapt to social data will have an advantage; 2) Brands must provide a seamless omnichannel experience for consumers who research across devices; 3) Understanding consumer sentiment will help brands personalize marketing; 4) Brands need to become publishers of valuable content to attract consumers rather than just interrupt them. The document provides examples and perspectives from industry leaders on how brands can capitalize on these trends.
1) Mobile devices are the primary channel for media consumption in the United States, with users spending on average 9 hours per day on mobile media. Mobile accounts for 26% of total media time.
2) Mobile media usage occurs throughout the day, whether lying in bed, commuting, or spending time with family. The most common mobile media activities are general information/search, social media, games, and entertainment.
3) Mobile impacts consumer purchasing behaviors across the entire purchase process, from initial discovery to in-store decisions.
Three out of four of the top 100 brands now have a Google+ page as adoption continues growing steadily. However, the rate of user engagement and follower growth has slowed considerably compared to earlier periods. While more brand Google+ pages are appearing in search results, promotion of Google+ on brand websites remains low, and Facebook and Twitter still significantly lead Google+ in terms of user adoption among top brands.
inQuba Webinar Mastering Customer Journey Management with Dr Graham HillLizaNolte
HERE IS YOUR WEBINAR CONTENT! 'Mastering Customer Journey Management with Dr. Graham Hill'. We hope you find the webinar recording both insightful and enjoyable.
In this webinar, we explored essential aspects of Customer Journey Management and personalization. Here’s a summary of the key insights and topics discussed:
Key Takeaways:
Understanding the Customer Journey: Dr. Hill emphasized the importance of mapping and understanding the complete customer journey to identify touchpoints and opportunities for improvement.
Personalization Strategies: We discussed how to leverage data and insights to create personalized experiences that resonate with customers.
Technology Integration: Insights were shared on how inQuba’s advanced technology can streamline customer interactions and drive operational efficiency.
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

In this session, we'll share insights on how we used PostgreSQL to facilitate precise searches across multiple fields in our mobile application. The techniques include using LIKE and ILIKE operators and integrating a trigram-based search to handle potential misspellings, thereby increasing the search accuracy.
We'll also discuss how the azure_ai extension on PostgreSQL databases in Azure and Azure AI Services were utilized to create vectors from user input, a feature beneficial when users wish to find specific items based on text prompts. While our application's case study involves a drug search, the techniques and principles shared in this session can be adapted to improve search functionality in a wide range of applications. Join us to learn how PostgreSQL and Azure AI can be harnessed to enhance your application's search capability.

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.

Chris Jones, Director of Product Management at BrainChip , presents the “Temporal Event Neural Networks: A More Efficient Alternative to the Transformer” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
The expansion of AI services necessitates enhanced computational capabilities on edge devices. Temporal Event Neural Networks (TENNs), developed by BrainChip, represent a novel and highly efficient state-space network. TENNs demonstrate exceptional proficiency in handling multi-dimensional streaming data, facilitating advancements in object detection, action recognition, speech enhancement and language model/sequence generation. Through the utilization of polynomial-based continuous convolutions, TENNs streamline models, expedite training processes and significantly diminish memory requirements, achieving notable reductions of up to 50x in parameters and 5,000x in energy consumption compared to prevailing methodologies like transformers.
Integration with BrainChip’s Akida neuromorphic hardware IP further enhances TENNs’ capabilities, enabling the realization of highly capable, portable and passively cooled edge devices. This presentation delves into the technical innovations underlying TENNs, presents real-world benchmarks, and elucidates how this cutting-edge approach is positioned to revolutionize edge AI across diverse applications.
From Natural Language to Structured Solr Queries using LLMsSease
This talk draws on experimentation to enable AI applications with Solr. One important use case is to use AI for better accessibility and discoverability of the data: while User eXperience techniques, lexical search improvements, and data harmonization can take organizations to a good level of accessibility, a structural (or “cognitive” gap) remains between the data user needs and the data producer constraints.
That is where AI – and most importantly, Natural Language Processing and Large Language Model techniques – could make a difference. This natural language, conversational engine could facilitate access and usage of the data leveraging the semantics of any data source.
The objective of the presentation is to propose a technical approach and a way forward to achieve this goal.
The key concept is to enable users to express their search queries in natural language, which the LLM then enriches, interprets, and translates into structured queries based on the Solr index’s metadata.
This approach leverages the LLM’s ability to understand the nuances of natural language and the structure of documents within Apache Solr.
The LLM acts as an intermediary agent, offering a transparent experience to users automatically and potentially uncovering relevant documents that conventional search methods might overlook. The presentation will include the results of this experimental work, lessons learned, best practices, and the scope of future work that should improve the approach and make it production-ready.
[OReilly Superstream] Occupy the Space: A grassroots guide to engineering (an...Jason Yip
The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.
