As new geospatial data sources come online the variety and velocity of this data makes it increasingly difficult to find the answers to intelligence problems manually.
In this slidecast, Alex Gorbachev from Pythian presents a Practical Introduction to Hadoop. This is a great primer for viewers who want to get the big picture on how Hadoop works with Big Data and how this approach differs from relational databases.

Apache Spark At Apple with Sam Maclennan and Vishwanath LakkundiDatabricks
At Apple we rely on processing large datasets to power key components of Apple’s largest production services. Spark is continuing to replace and augment traditional MR workloads with its speed and low barrier to entry. Our current analytics infrastructure consists of over an exabyte of storage and close to a million cores. Our footprint is also growing further with the addition of new elastic services for streaming, adhoc and interactive analytics.
In this talk we will cover the challenges of working at scale with tricks and lessons learned managing large multi-tenant clusters. We will also discuss designing and building a self-service elastic analytics platform on Mesos.
Creating an 86,000 Hour Speech Dataset with Apache Spark and TPUsDatabricks
As part of its machine learning benchmarking efforts, MLCommons (mlcommons.org) has built an 86,000 hour open supervised speech recognition dataset with a commercial-use license known as The People’s Speech, incorporating subtitled videos and audio in the public domain scraped from the Internet. Creating a speech recognition dataset requires running inference on a pre-trained neural network speech recognition model to “force align” audio against a transcript (in this case, subtitles). In order to improve upon an initial CPU-based pipeline that took approximately 3,500 CPU days to one that takes 24 hours end-to-end, we created a hybrid data pipeline that used Apache Spark for general data processing and Google Cloud Tensor Processing Units (TPUs) for running the neural network speech recognition model.
I will describe in-the-weeds learnings on how to (1) use a non-GPU accelerator with Spark for inference, (2) share physical memory fairly between the pyspark UDF worker.py process and JVM process in the same executor, and (3) implement efficient joins of data that has been reordered relative to its source dataframe by batching by sequence length (tf.data.experimental.bucket_by_sequence_length).
If you do offline inference on sequence data with deep learning models, this session is for you. Our entire pipeline is open source under an Apache 2 license at https://github.com/mlcommons/peoples-speech.

Introduction to Big Data Analytics using Apache Spark on HDInsights on Azure (SaaS) and/or HDP on Azure(PaaS)
This workshop will provide an introduction to Big Data Analytics using Apache Spark using the HDInsights on Azure (SaaS) and/or HDP deployment on Azure(PaaS) . There will be a short lecture that includes an introduction to Spark, the Spark components.
Spark is a unified framework for big data analytics. Spark provides one integrated API for use by developers, data scientists, and analysts to perform diverse tasks that would have previously required separate processing engines such as batch analytics, stream processing and statistical modeling. Spark supports a wide range of popular languages including Python, R, Scala, SQL, and Java. Spark can read from diverse data sources and scale to thousands of nodes.
The lecture will be followed by demo . There will be a short lecture on Hadoop and how Spark and Hadoop interact and compliment each other. You will learn how to move data into HDFS using Spark APIs, create Hive table, explore the data with Spark and SQL, transform the data and then issue some SQL queries. We will be using Scala and/or PySpark for labs.

Prototypes are typically re-implemented in another language due to compatibility issues with R in the enterprise, but TIBCO Enterprise Runtime for R (TERR) allows the language to be run on several platforms. Enterprise-level scalability has been brought to the R language, enabling rapid iteration without the need to recode, re-implement and test. This presentation will delve further into these topics, highlighting specific use cases and the true value that can be gained from utilizing R. The session will be followed by a lively, open Q&A discussion.

Apresentação realizada no TDC Porto Alegre - 2016
O monitoramento e a visibilidade da saúde e performance de componentes em uma arquitetura de microserviços é fundamental para determinar, de uma forma rápida, a causa raiz de possíveis problemas além de fornecer insights para melhorias de eficiência. Nessa apresentação vou contar um pouco do meu último ano trabalhando, para um cliente do Vale do Silício, com instrumentação, coleta, armazenamento e visualização de métricas (Observability) em uma arquitetura de microserviços na cloud. Além dos principais problemas e soluções encontradas vou abordar os seguintes tópicos: a arquitetura para instrumentação, coleta, armazenamento e visualização de métricas; Collectd; Sensu e SignaFx.
Our understanding of space as it's today ... how we came to existence. What will happen if one the thing is not there where it's today. Will we exist if Sun burns all its fuel or the Moon gets knocked by a Meteor. Does sun have a twin death star called nemesis that brings a mass extinction to earth at every 26 million years!

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.
