The document discusses using link analysis on Wikipedia to find related pages. It describes using HITS (Hyperlink-Induced Topic Search) but notes this does not work well on Wikipedia due to noisy links. Applying Bayesian concepts by calculating the rank of a page given a topic divided by its overall rank addresses this issue. Debugging and processing the large Wikipedia database presented challenges. Future work includes improving speed and responding to natural language queries about page relationships.
The document provides an overview of key concepts in strategic management including:
1. Strategic management involves formulating, implementing, and evaluating cross-functional decisions to achieve organizational objectives.
2. The strategic management process includes assessing external opportunities/threats and internal strengths/weaknesses to develop long-term objectives and strategies.
3. Implementing, evaluating, and updating strategies is critical for organizations to adapt to changing conditions and gain sustained competitive advantages.
Audit planning involves three main reasons: 1) to obtain sufficient evidence, 2) to help keep costs reasonable, and 3) to avoid misunderstandings with the client. The key parts of planning include accepting the client, understanding the client's business and industry, assessing business risks, and performing preliminary analytical procedures. Analytical procedures are used in the planning, testing, and completion phases of the audit to understand the client, identify possible misstatements, and reduce detailed tests. Common financial ratios used in analytical procedures include liquidity, activity, debt obligation, and profitability ratios.

"Merging of Digital & Physical Tech" - insights by Veemal Gungadin for #TSEA ...GEVME
Veemal Gungadin discusses how merging digital and physical data can provide richer insights about event attendees. Physical interactions at events, like which sessions people attend, are often not tracked, resulting in lost data. However, incorporating digital elements, such as scanning badges or using mobile apps, allows organizers to correlate online and onsite behavior. This merged data builds more complete profiles and interests for each attendee. Event organizers can then design more personalized experiences that improve engagement and outcomes. However, personalization must be balanced with privacy concerns over how much data is collected and used.
