Loras College 2016 Business Analytics Symposium KeynoteRich Clayton
Leaders who embrace data have a profound impact on their organizations yet too few seize the opportunity. Biases in decision making, technology myths, data quality and analytical skills and are the most frequently cited obstacles by organizations of all sizes. Technology advances have neutralized the scale advantage and have democratized analytics for every organization – so now what? Are you to engage more data in your management decisions? Do you have an analytic strategy that has two speeds – one for innovation and one for scale? Are you investing in your top talent so they can ask new questions?
We’ll explore these topics and how to create an analytic culture in your organization. We’ll share how leaders have transformed their organizations by innovating their analytic processes, re-designing the way they work and embracing new technology innovation. We’ll dispel myths about technology and provide you a foundation for building your journey to analytic excellence.

Leveraging enterprise information is no easy task, especially when unstructured information represents more than 80% of enterprise content. Meaningfully structuring content is critical for companies, Natural Language Processing and Semantic Enrichment is becoming increasingly important to improve the quality of tasks related to information retrieval.
With the Semantic Web moving towards full realisation thanks to the Linked Data initiative and with the interest of major search engines in structured data, the enterprise search world is finding it more attractive to make its information machine readable and exploit that information to improve search over its content.
In this scenario, three trends are transforming the face of search:
Entity-oriented search. Searching not by keyword, but by entities that represent specific concepts in a certain domain.
Knowledge graphs. Leveraging relationships amongst entities: Linked Data datasets (Freebase, DbPedia….) or custom companies’ knowledge bases.
Search assistance. Autocomplete and spellchecking are now common features, but making use of semantic data makes it possible to offer smarter features, guiding the users to what they want, in a natural way.
Sometimes, the proper resources for building such features are not easy to obtain. In order to generate these, our approach includes a number of unstructured data processing mechanisms the goal of which is to automatically extract semantic information:
Extract content from heterogeneous data sources
Extract domain information and enrich the content through different NLP processes like Named Entity Recognition, Coreference Resolution, Entity Linking and Disambiguation, and Topic Annotation
Create specialised indexes to store the semantic information extracted
Currently there are a number of well developed uses of semantic extracted information such as faceting and concept indexing, however further methods of exploiting semantic extracted information are presenting themselves in the industry:
Smart Autocomplete
The target of this feature is to automatically complete users’ phrase with entity names and properties, helping them to find the desired documents through exploration of the domain Knowledge Graph. As the user keys in the phrase, the system will propose a set of named entities and/or a set of entity types. As the user accepts a suggestion, the system will dynamically adapt following suggestions to the chosen context.
The accuracy delivered by entity driven search brings increased satisfaction among users. They will see documents that are about a specific semantic concept, with concrete properties, and not about a keyword that can be ambiguously interpreted.
Semantic More Like This
A feature to find documents similar to one that is input, based on the underlying knowledge in the documents, instead of tokens.

AI-SDV 2021: Stefan Geissler - AI support for creating and maintaining vocabu...Dr. Haxel Consult
Structured vocabularies, thesauri and lexicons are key ingredients for many information management tasks. Creating them however often requires a significant amount of work. Maintaining and extending them often means that the respective manual tasks need to be done on a regular basis in order to prevent the resources from becoming outdated, irrelevant and incomplete. AI has much support to offer for this task. And by wrapping the respective approaches into applications that can be operated by terminologists and domain experts who don't need to be programmers or data scientists themselves, the benefits can be made available to a wide range of users.
THAT Conference 2021 - State-of-the-art Search with Azure Cognitive SearchBrian McKeiver
In person at THAT Conference 2021 - How to add AI / machine Learning to your website search through Azure Cognitive Services with it's brand new semantic search. Join the session to why semantic AI-powered search improves the quality of search results.
Brian Spiering, a faculty member at the University of San Francisco's MS in Data Science, provides practical advice on how best to navigate the seemingly unlimited choices. He covers how to learn programming skills you'll need, how much Machine Learning is enough, and how to develop the necessary communication skills.
This tutorial gives an overview of how search engines and machine learning techniques can be tightly coupled to address the need for building scalable recommender or other prediction based systems. Typically, most of them architect retrieval and prediction in two phases. In Phase I, a search engine returns the top-k results based on constraints expressed as a query. In Phase II, the top-k results are re-ranked in another system according to an optimization function that uses a supervised trained model. However this approach presents several issues, such as the possibility of returning sub-optimal results due to the top-k limits during query, as well as the prescence of some inefficiencies in the system due to the decoupling of retrieval and ranking.
To address this issue the authors created ML-Scoring, an open source framework that tightly integrates machine learning models into Elasticsearch, a popular search engine. ML-Scoring replaces the default information retrieval ranking function with a custom supervised model that is trained through Spark, Weka, or R that is loaded as a plugin in Elasticsearch. This tutorial will not only review basic methods in information retrieval and machine learning, but it will also walk through practical examples from loading a dataset into Elasticsearch to training a model in Spark, Weka, or R, to creating the ML-Scoring plugin for Elasticsearch. No prior experience is required in any system listed (Elasticsearch, Spark, Weka, R), though some programming experience is recommended.
RecSys 2015 Tutorial – Scalable Recommender Systems: Where Machine Learning...S. Diana Hu
Search engines have focused on solving the document retrieval problem, so their scoring functions do not handle naturally non-traditional IR data types, such as numerical or categorical. Therefore, on domains beyond traditional search, scores representing strengths of associations or matches may vary widely. As such, the original model doesn’t suffice, so relevance ranking is performed as a two-phase approach with 1) regular search 2) external model to re-rank the filtered items. Metrics such as click-through and conversion rates are associated with the users’ response to items served. The predicted selection rates that arise in real-time can be critical for optimal matching. For example, in recommender systems, predicted performance of a recommended item in a given context, also called response prediction, is often used in determining a set of recommendations to serve in relation to a given serving opportunity. Similar techniques are used in the advertising domain. To address this issue the authors have created ML-Scoring, an open source framework that tightly integrates machine learning models into a popular search engine (SOLR/Elasticsearch), replacing the default IR-based ranking function. A custom model is trained through either Weka or Spark and it is loaded as a plugin used at query time to compute custom scores.

Robots Will Steal Your Job but That's OK - Federico PistonoTextkernel
Presentation of researcher and entrepreneur Federico Pistono, author of "Robots Will Steal Your Job, But That's OK", that was held at Textkernel's conference Intelligent Machines and the Future of Recruitment on June 2nd in Amsterdam.
At the end of this slide deck, you can also find the YouTube recording.
Outline:
Over the past four years, headlines warned us that a wave of joblessness is coming. They claim that advances in robotics, machine learning, and automation are ushering in an era of unprecedented change. Do these concerns reflect reality?
Some claim that we have seen this story before, and that we have nothing to worry about. Others think that this time is different, and that we're about to experience the most dramatic shift in modern economic history, one for which we are not prepared. But what is the real risk of technological unemployment? How will it affect the job market, recruitment, and the economy at large?
In this presentation, Federico Pistono separated the myths from reality by presenting the state of the art and forecasts of machine intelligence and its economic impact.
Semantic Interoperability in the Labour Market - Martin le Vrang, Team leader...Textkernel
This presentation was held by Martin le Vrang at Textkernel's conference Intelligent Machines and the Future of Recruitment on 2 June in Amsterdam.
The European Commission is developing a multilingual classification of European Skills, Competences, Qualifications and Occupations (ESCO). This common reference terminology will enhance the functioning of the labour market, help to build an integrated European labour market and bridge the communication gap between work and education/training. ESCO is part of an emerging Semantic Web in the labour market and the education and training sector. Job vacancies, CVs and training curricula would no longer just be documents, but standardised sets of data which can be reused in job matching, HR systems, for career guidance tools or in statistical applications.
Pablo de Pedraza: Labor market matching, economic cycle and online vacanciesTextkernel
Pablo de Pedraza's presentation at Textkernel's Conference Intelligent Machines and the Future of Recruitment on 2 June 2016.
The number of job openings, or vacancies, is an important indicator of the state of the economy and the labour market. They are extensively used by institutions and in academic papers to calculate the Beveridge Curve or estimate the matching function, center pieces of macroeconomic models studying labor markets. Vacancies can be measured using administrative registers, surveys to employers, advertisements in printed press or using online advertising.
This presentation is divided into two sections. In the first one we study the Dutch Beveridge curve and the matching function using the number of vacancies inferred from a survey to employers conducted by the Dutch Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) from 1997 until the end of 2014. We obtain conclusion about matching process before and after the Great Recession.
In the second section we compare number of vacancies inferred from CBS vacancy data with the number of vacancies posted online. According to CBS data, the number of vacancies increases during positive shocks and goes down during negative ones. We can observe the number of web vacancies posted online from 2006 until today and compare them with CBS data during a complete economic cycle.
Results show a positive time trend in the number of online vacancies and negative time trend in the number of vacancies inferred from a survey. We show that both series reflect very similar economic reality once we account for both trends. We settle our future research lines focusing on exploring the sources behind both trends and how they compare across sectors.
New Developments in Machine Learning - Prof. Dr. Max WellingTextkernel
Presentation from Prof. Dr. Max Welling, Professor of Machine Learning at the University of Amsterdam, at Textkernel's Intelligent Machines and the Future of Recruitment on June 2nd in Amsterdam.
At the end of this slide deck, you can also find the YouTube recording.
Due to increased compute power and large amounts of available data, machine learning is flourishing once again. In particular a technology called deep learning is making great strides maturing into a powerful technology. Max Welling briefly discusses variants of deep learning, such as convolutional neural networks and recurrent neural networks. But what lies around the corner in machine learning? He will discuss the three developments that in his opinion will become increasingly important:
1) Learning to interact with the world through reinforcement learning,
2) Learning while respecting everyone's privacy, and
3) Learning the causal relations in data (as opposed to discovering mere correlations).
Together, they represent the "power tools" of the future machine learner.
The Agile Future of HR and Talent Acquisition - Prof. Dr. Armin Trost Textkernel
Presentation from Prof. Dr. Armin Trost, Author, Consultant and Professor at Furtwangen University, at Textkernel's Intelligent Machines and the Future of Recruitment on June 2nd in Amsterdam. At the end of this slide deck, you can also find the YouTube recording.
Human resource management in the 21st century will have little to do with what has been promoted in recent years or decades and written in the text-books. Instead of finding “the right people, at the right time and at the right place” we will make the employees and their individual preferences, talents, life plans, and ambitions the focus of attention.
We will say goodbye to mechanistic, technocratic, and often bureaucratic approaches. They fit in a past that was stable and predictable. If you regard your employees as your most valuable asset, you will give them freedom, trust, and responsibility. Moreover you will appreciate individuality and individual life-plans.
Human resources management will therefore deal less with hierarchical processes, systems, responsibilities, KPIs, etc., in the future. Rather, it will be about how to empower teams to think on their own responsibility, communicate, collaborate, learn, and develop their talent in the long term.
HR-Technology will be there to make the life of managers and employees easier instead of supporting the HR-function only. For instance, in the area of recruiting all this will lead to a more intense usage of social networks, artificial intelligence, big data, data mining etc.
Human > Machine Interface - The future of HR | Perry Timms, Founder & Directo...Textkernel
Presentation by Perry Timms at Textkernel's conference Intelligent Machines and the Future of Recruitment on 2 June 2016 in Amsterdam.
With a spotlight on AI; VR/AR; robotics, automation, machine learning and quantum computing, what does this mean for the world of work, jobs and human endeavour?
More so, what does it mean to the technophobia often present in HR? There’s a thought that HR doesn’t even really get the technology that’s being used now and is having a profound effect on where, when and how people are working. And no, self-service cloud-based HR systems doesn’t mean the profession is anywhere near to being tech savvy. That’s low level labour realignment and marginal process improvement.
My fear - as an HR professional aware of and experimenting with technology constantly - is that my profession is already WAY BEHIND the curve so how will HR practitioners cope with the latest array of digital disruption?
Join me in finding out how I believe we can upgrade HR’s thinking and doing for the digital age of work.

It’s all about Technology... oh wait! It’s not - Balazs ParoczayTextkernel
Presentation from Balazs Paroczay, Head of Recruiting Strategy and Innovations, Randstad Sourceright EMEA, at Textkernel's conference Intelligent Machines and the Future of Recruitment on 2 June in Amsterdam.
Due to digital technology revolution, sourcing for good candidates is basically not a challenge anymore. There are search plugins but also productivity tools, document and data-grabbing, parsing and matching, email verification, image search and soon-coming face recognition applications, click-rate or any-other-type data analytics softwares (trillions of them!), and it looks like the core competitive advantage of a top sourcer is solely on his toolkit nowadays.
This is however a trap, I believe, and we definitely need to avoid to let technology ultimately drive our thinking when building a sourcing function.
During my session I will share how we have embedded technology within Randstad Sourceright’s EMEA Sourcing Centre. How we made choices on when and when not to buy tech and where the human part is proved to be a still greater asset than any other tools or techs on the market.

Je kandidaten-database is een waardevolle sourcing tool. Beperkte zoekopties in recruitmentsystemen zorgen ervoor dat de database niet optimaal gebruikt wordt. Ontdek hoe je de waarde van je recruitmentsysteem maximaal kunt benutten. Aan de hand van praktijkcases laat Gerard Mulder, CCO bij Textkernel, zien hoe semantische technologie je bestaande database kan omzetten in een efficiënte sourcing tool, door: - meer sollicitaties met een gebruiksvriendelijk sollicitatieproces - krachtige semantische zoeksoftware - automatische aanbevelingen van matchende kandidaten op je vacatures.

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.

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).

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
