Sharing is Caring: Understanding and Measuring Threat Intelligence Sharing Ef...Alex Pinto
For the last 18 months, MLSec Project and Niddel collaborated to collect threat intelligence indicator data from multiple sources in order to make sense of the ecosystem and try to find a measure of efficiency or quality in these feeds. This initiative culminated in the creation of Combine and TIQ-test, two of the open source projects from MLSec Project. These projects have been improved upon for the last year, and are able to gather and compare data from multiple Threat Intelligence sources on the Internet.
Alex Sieira and his team have gathered aggregated usage information from intelligence sharing communities in order to determine if the added interest and "push" towards sharing is really being followed by the companies and if its adoption is putting us on the right track to close these gaps. He proposes a new set of metrics on the same vein as TIQ-test to help you understand what a "healthy" threat intelligence sharing community looks like.
To better illustrate the points and metrics, Alex will be conducting part of this analysis using usage data from some high-profile threat intelligence platforms and sharing communities that have been kind enough to contribute with usage data for this research.
Employability Intelligence: Understanding the ‘Employableness’ Model to Fut...LessonsGoWhere
PMEs make up more than half of Singapore's workforce. During the last recession, nearly 10,000 of them were made redundant and labour economists are saying this group may again be affected as the anticipated economic slowdown looms over this region. This revealed unsettling statistics that PMEs were not insulated from such devastating economic onslaughts. In fact, anecdotal evidences indicate that PMEs could actually take longer to regain employment, and under-employment would persist for some time even after the economy recovered. Although the concept of training with incentives was introduced, there is only so much policy can help the PMEs. This has also led some researchers to question whether our education and training strategies have created an over-education but under-employment situation. With even more resources being devoted to CET for PMEs in the coming years, are we able to avoid the phenomenon of over-education-under-employment?

The world is quite a different place than it was six months ago, and with the 2020 holiday season fast approaching, the pressure is on to meet revenue goals in what’s been an uncertain year.
In August, we surveyed 154 marketing executives to find out what they think is likely to happen this holiday season and how they are preparing for it. The results are fascinating, and we’ve distilled them into clear actions you can take right now to adapt and prepare for a very different 2020 holiday season.
In this webinar, Eric Enge (Principal, Digital Marketing at Perficient) and Jim Hertzfeld (Chief Strategist, Digital at Perficient) discussed:
How marketers have already adapted and where they see the most opportunity moving forward
What will be different this holiday season and how to adjust your strategy accordingly
Ways to identify and meet changing customer expectations, wants, and needs
How to determine if your priorities or investments should change
What actions you can take right now to be successful
Transforming Pharmacovigilance Workflows with AI & Automation Perficient, Inc.
Medical information call centers have an opportunity to transform the way they capture, code, and analyze adverse events (AEs) and product quality complaints (PQCs) with artificial intelligence (AI) and automation.
The use of such innovative technology improves data quality and consistency, compliance, and operational efficiency. It helps reduce the frequency of your pharmacovigilance (PV) operations resources going home, saying, “I have more to do at the end of the day than I did when I started."
Our one-hour, on-demand webinar shows you how you can use AI and automation to turbo-charge your end-to-end PV system. Use cases and demonstrations will include:
Analyzing safety data
Auto-coding verbatim terms to official medical dictionary terms
Auto-creating an AE case in your database
Converting speech to text
The Secret to Acquiring and Retaining Customers in Financial ServicesPerficient, Inc.
Data, when leveraged effectively, can help you segment and target customers, analyze spending habits, and can create a personalized experience that builds value and customer loyalty.
Without a 360-degree view of your customers, you can’t properly target them with real-time personalized offers, advice, and other services. In addition, lack of customer intelligence creates lost opportunities for banks and insurers to cross-sell and upsell new products and services.
Our one-hour webinar covered how customer intelligence platforms can help you engage, acquire, and retain customers.

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.

39. Search and BI
How does Search fit in to BI?
Q: What is being indexed? For what are we searching? A: “BI artifacts,” not “BI data.”
“BI artifacts” refers to documents, web pages, and web parts stored by or visible to
SharePoint:
reports, dashboards, KPIs, spreadsheets (Excel Services), databases (Access
Services), data visualization diagrams (Visio Services), plus non-Microsoft dashboards
and reports
Once BI artifacts have been published in SharePoint, e.g. in a Report Center library, they
can be indexed by the SharePoint search engine and made available in search results
Two kinds of search opportunities:
Pull – users find BI artifacts when they are actively looking for them
Push – the SharePoint application suggests or dynamically exposes BI artifacts
*BI artifacts published purely as web parts exposed in the Web Part Gallery appear to be a bit less search friendly, but there
are techniques for adding search accessibility to web parts.
39
40. Search and BI
“Pull” Style Search “Push” Style Search
• Extend content types with • 3 API options for .NET code:
metadata properties to Keyword Syntax (SP +
classify and sort BI artifacts FAST), SQL (SP only), FQL
• Metadata exposed as (FAST only)
managed properties can be • Federated Search Object
used in queries and as facets Model Supports integrating
in search results results from multiple search
• Use custom search providers
forms, audience • Surface search results
targeting, and search scopes dynamically into the
to optimize results UI, targeted for the user
40
41. SharePoint Search Technology
All editions of SharePoint 2010 include a powerful, configurable, and
programmable search engine.
Certain advanced features, like search result facets derived from metadata
properties, require the Enterprise edition.
Microsoft also offers the FAST search product as a SharePoint 2010 add-
on, which adds an even more powerful search engine.
FAST search is not required to achieve any of the benefits described on the
previous slides related to BI artifacts.
What FAST search adds is the opportunity for a different kind of “business
intelligence,” where useful information is derived from mountains of
unstructured text instead of being derived from structured data that is
primarily numeric in nature.
