Data Scientist has been regarded as the sexiest job of the twenty first century. As data in every industry keeps growing the need to organize, explore, analyze, predict and summarize is insatiable. Data Science is creating new paradigms in data driven business decisions. As the field is emerging out of its infancy a wide range of skill sets are becoming an integral part of being a Data Scientist. In this talk I will discuss the different driven roles and the expertise required to be successful in them. I will highlight some of the unique challenges and rewards of working in a young and dynamic field.
The world’s most valuable resource is no longer oil, but data. Data does not have any meaning unless we study it and make inference out of it or draw insights from it.

Architecting a Data Platform For Enterprise Use (Strata NY 2018)mark madsen
Building a data lake involves more than installing Hadoop or putting data into AWS. The goal in most organizations is to build multi-use data infrastructure that is not subject to past constraints. This tutorial covers design assumptions, design principles, and how to approach the architecture and planning for multi-use data infrastructure in IT.
Long:
The goal in most organizations is to build multi-use data infrastructure that is not subject to past constraints. This session will discuss hidden design assumptions, review design principles to apply when building multi-use data infrastructure, and provide a reference architecture to use as you work to unify your analytics infrastructure.
The focus in our market has been on acquiring technology, and that ignores the more important part: the larger IT landscape within which this technology lives and the data architecture that lies at its core. If one expects longevity from a platform then it should be a designed rather than accidental architecture.
Architecture is more than just software. It starts from use and includes the data, technology, methods of building and maintaining, and organization of people. What are the design principles that lead to good design and a functional data architecture? What are the assumptions that limit older approaches? How can one integrate with, migrate from or modernize an existing data environment? How will this affect an organization's data management practices? This tutorial will help you answer these questions.
Topics covered:
* A brief history of data infrastructure and past design assumptions
* Categories of data and data use in organizations
* Data architecture
* Functional architecture
* Technology planning assumptions and guidance
Data Science is in high demand, the melting pot
of complex skills requires a qualified data scientist have made them the unicorns in today's data-driven landscape.
Do you want to understand the emerging new data-driven jobs? This presentation discusses the emerging roles of Data Science and Data Engineering, and how they are related to Business Intelligence and Big Data. We will talk about skills and background needed for the jobs, and what education and certification is important.
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain - the unseen work behind data ...mark madsen
Goal: explain the nature of the work of an analytics team to a manager, and enable people on those teams to explain what a data science team needs to a manager.
It seems as if every organization wants to enable analytical-decision making and embed analytics into operational processes. What can you do with analytics? It looks like anything is possible. What can you really do? Probably a lot less than you expect. Why is this? Vendors promise easy-to-use analytics tools and services but they rarely deliver. The products may be easy but the work is still hard.
Using analytics to solve problems depends on many factors beyond the math: people, processes, the skills of the analyst, the technology used, the data. Technology is the easy part. Figuring out what to do and how to do it is a lot harder. Despite this, fancy new tools get all the attention and budget.
People and data are the truly hard parts. People, because many believe that data is absolute rather than relative, and that analytic models produce an answer rather than a range of answers with varying degrees of truth, accuracy and applicability. Data, because managing data for analytics is a nuanced, detail-oriented and seemingly dull task left to back-office IT.
If your goal is to build a repeatable analytics capability rather than a one-off analytics project then you will need to address the parts that are rarely mentioned. This talk will explain some of the unseen and little-discussed aspects involved when building and deploying analytics.

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. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
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.

reception and realizing you don’t know
anyone. So you just stand in the corner
sipping your drink—and you probably leave
early.”
-LinkedIn Manager, June 2006
10. Enter: Data Scientist
Jonathan Goldman
Joined LinkedIn in 2006, only
8M users (450M in 2016)
