Tensions in Ukraine & Baltics: Role of the Mass MediaJacques Bazen
Lecture given during the ConnecTTerzake studytrip to the Baltics, to give some insight in the current tensions in Eastern Europe (Ukraine & Baltics), especially into the role of the mass media.
This presentation just aims to show the arguments of both sides, in order to help students understand what is going on.
Belarus can’t find a way out of geopolitical turbulence. In contrast to neighboring Ukraine, Russian meddling here is mostly done through soft power. But the Belarusian society is growing more resilient in the face of the Kremlin’s narratives. Confronting Russian revanchism, Belarusians embrace their pre-soviet history, like a heritage of Grand Duchy of Lithuania and Rzeczpospolita. Before Presidential elections next year, and Population census this fall, a discussion about identity and national ideology is intensifying. What can the West do about it?

Visual Analysis of Massive Web Session Data
Jack Shen, Architect in the Behavior and Product Experience Team at Ebay.
March 17th , 2014
Tracking and recording users’ browsing behaviors on the web down to individual mouse clicks can create massive web session logs. While such web session data contain valuable information about user behaviors, the ever increasing data size has placed a big challenge to analyzing and visualizing the data. An efficient data analysis framework requires both powerful computational analysis and interactive visualization. Following the visual analytics mantra “Analyze first, show the important, zoom, filter and analyze further, details on demand”, we introduce a two-tier visual analysis system, TrailExplorer2, to discover knowledge from massive log data.

Extracting Intelligence from Big Data
Ruggero Altair Tacchi, Data Scientist at Quid, Inc.
March 27th 2014
Big Data is one of the hottest topics in the world of Data Science. And yet most of the effort seems focussed on describing surface level information in the datasets, without ever understanding the deeper relationships found through exploring the data as logical, interrelated clusters. Quid is pioneering solutions in Data Science to help extract intelligence from data, using Natural Language Processing and Big Data Visualization techniques to enable the exploration and understanding of complex relationships within a dataset. In the presentation we will demonstrate some of our dimensionality reduction, clustering, and visualization techniques, using a live demo of the Quid platform. We will also show some case studies from prior analyses, including mapping tech startup innovation, news analysis, and US patent analysis.
