Data-Ed Online: Emerging Trends in Data JobsDATAVERSITY
Data is the lifeblood of just about every organization and functional area today. As businesses struggle to come to grips with the data flood, it is even more critical to focus on data as an asset that directly supports business imperatives as other organizational assets do. Organizations across most industries attempt to address data opportunities (e.g. Big Data) and data challenges (e.g. data quality) to enhance business unit performance. Unfortunately however, the results of these efforts frequently fall far below expectations due to haphazard approaches. Overall, poor organizational data management capabilities are the root cause of many of these failures. This webinar covers three lessons (illustrated by examples), which will help you to establish realistic OM plans and expectations, and help demonstrate the value of such actions to both internal and external decision makers.
Takeaways:
Organizational thinking must change: Value-added data management practices must be considered and included as a vital part of your business strategy.
Walk before you run with data focused initiatives: Understand and implement necessary data management prerequisites as a foundation, then build upon that foundation.
There are no silver bullets: Tools alone are not the answer. Specifying business requirements, business practices and data governance are almost always more important.

Bearish SEO: Defining the User Experience for Google’s Panda Search LandscapeMarianne Sweeny
The search sun shifted in March 2011 when Google started rolling out the beginning of the Panda update. Instead of using the famous PageRank, a link-based relevance calculation, Panda rests on a machine interpretation of user experience to decide which sites are most relevant to a searchers quest for knowledge. This means that IA and UX practitioners need to start thinking about the machine implications of the way they structure information on the web, and think ahead about the human implications for how search engines present their sites in response to searcher queries. Bearish SEO will present real, actionable methods for content providers, information architects and user experience designers to directly influence search engine discoverability. Need is an experience. It is a state of being. The goal for this presentation is to ensure that user experience professionals become an integral part of designing search experience.
Search engines crawl billions of webpages to build an index and provide relevant search results. They use links between pages to efficiently discover and index content, storing snippets of text and metadata in vast data centers. Complicated algorithms rank results based on over 100 factors related to relevance and popularity to return the most useful pages for a user's query within seconds. Search engine optimization aims to understand and influence these algorithms through on-page and off-page techniques.
JSON Data Modeling - GDG Indy - April 2020Matthew Groves
Presented virtually at GDG Indy - https://www.meetup.com/indy-gdg/events/269467916/
If you’re thinking about using a document database, it can be intimidating to start. A flexible data model gives you a lot of choices, but which way is the right way? Is a document database even the right tool? In this session we’ll go over the basics of data modeling using JSON. We’ll compare and contrast with traditional RDBMS modeling. Impact on application code will be discussed, as well as some tooling that could be helpful along the way. The examples use the free, open-source Couchbase Server document database, but the principles from this session can also be applied to CosmosDb, Mongo, RavenDb, etc.
The document discusses challenges with enterprise search and different solutions companies use. It notes that while Google can effectively search the public web, searching internal corporate repositories is more difficult due to varied file formats, different search goals, and lack of clear relevance signals like links. Some companies use Google appliances, while others select specialized enterprise search tools that can better handle security, organization of complex results, and integration with internal systems and data sources. The article provides examples of companies that have implemented different enterprise search solutions.

Data architecture is foundational to an information-based operational environment. It is your data architecture that organizes your data assets so they can be leveraged in your business strategy to create real business value. Even though this is important, not all data architectures are used effectively. This webinar describes the use of data architecture as a basic analysis method. Various uses of data architecture to inform, clarify, understand, and resolve aspects of a variety of business problems will be demonstrated. As opposed to showing how to architect data, your presenter Dr. Peter Aiken will show how to use data architecting to solve business problems. The goal is for you to be able to envision a number of uses for data architectures that will raise the perceived utility of this analysis method in the eyes of the business.

DataEd Slides: Expressing Data Improvements as Business OutcomesDATAVERSITY
Join us and learn how you can better align your Data Management projects with business objectives to justify funding and gain management approval. Failure to successfully monetize Data Management investments sets up an unfortunate loop of fixing symptoms without addressing the underlying problems. As organizations begin to understand that data practices are the root causes of many business problems, they become more willing to make the required investments. However, we need to also approach them. The No. 1 reason that data programs fail to deliver is that they do not set or measure specific objectives that are meaningful to management. While there are opportunities to assist at the project level, data improvements are better able to be leveraged at the organization level. An improvable, dedicated data program can only be achieved by repeated application of data practices in service of specific business objectives. Data improvements typically do not maintain an ROI calculation. ROIs expressed in terms that board/executive management cares about deeply ensure data program viability. Improving organizational execution of specific data practice improvements must lead directly to specific improvements in organizational KPIs. While organizations may not be currently practiced in this ability, it is quite easy to learn. This presentation uses a number of specific examples calculating the business impact of data improvements. Program learning objectives include:
• Coming to grips with the state of practice
• Understanding the need for a comparable baseline measure
• Seeing application in a number of contexts

KMWorld, Enterprise Search and Discovery 2019
Congratulations! You’ve just been given the responsibility for search at your organization! Perhaps there is a new initiative to improve search, or perhaps the previous search manager mysteriously disappeared. In any case, you’ve discovered that search is a deceptively tricky domain, and that the expectations of many of your stakeholders are difficult to meet or even to define. This workshop provides an orientation and exposure to the key issues, effective processes, and technology—independent of what brand of search engine you use. It provides lay-of-the-land information and approaches to get you off to a good start. Topics include getting started and where to find practical guidance in search management; kinds of tasks and roles involved in managing search; building a cross-functional team; assessing the current state of search; establishing a vision and creating a findability strategy; getting stakeholders together and constructively involved; discovering and managing expectations; top misconceptions about search and how to educate your organization; top five and next five tools and techniques for improving search; updates and improvements; and measuring search: KPIs, tools, and techniques for internal search engine optimization. If you have been in the search manager’s role for a while but feel like you are missing a grounding in successful practices and management techniques, this workshop is still useful.
Realize Greater "Return on Information" with Google Enterprise SearchPerficient, Inc.
Google and Perficient together present this webinar about the benefits of deploying enterprise search; How search architecture solutions such as Google's Enterprise Search products aid in quicker retrieval of enterprise data and information.
Microsoft Search is looking to bring the search experiences across all Microsoft 365 services together into a single unified experience. Attend this session to learn how the experience impacts your users, how you can configure it as well as scenarios where you should customize it.
This document summarizes a presentation about enterprise search solutions. It discusses the limitations of current internet search and internal search solutions for large organizations. It then outlines the benefits an improved enterprise search system could provide, such as advanced social networking search capabilities, improved people and content search across different systems, and a centralized search platform to help employees be more productive. The presentation concludes by discussing lessons learned from enterprise search projects and opportunities to continue enhancing search solutions.
Enterprise Search is still considered as a one-time IT Project in most cases, although it should rather be a Business Process, with well-defined lifecycle, metrics and analytics. Measuring and controlling success is very challenging – in most cases, it has to be a string collaboration between internal and external experts. In this session, I’m introducing several roles of this process as well as useful metrics and best practices. Attendees will get a practical plan for quality management of their Enterprise Search solution as the key takeaway.

Google poses a threat to Microsoft's operating systems dominance. Chrome OS and Android are decreasing Microsoft's dependence on Windows and Office. Thematic search engines and semantic web technologies may improve search results by providing more context, but widespread adoption of these techniques may be years away. Google Instant is changing how people search and long-tail keywords will become more important. Real-time search highlighted trending topics but provided limited value for brands. Overall digital marketers must adapt to new search behaviors and the potential long-term effects of semantic technologies.
Enterprise Search – How Relevant Is Relevance?Sease
Enterprise search is the outlier in search applications. It has to work effectively with very large collections of un-curated content, often in multiple languages, to meet the requirements of employees who need to make business-critical decisions.
In this talk, I will outline the challenges of searching enterprise content. Recent research is revealing a unique pattern of search behaviour in which relevance is both very important and yet also irrelevant, and where recall is just as important as precision. This behaviour has implications for the use of standard metrics for search performance (especially in the case of federated search across multiple applications) and for the adoption of AI/ML techniques.
capabilities across four innovation areas:
* Knowledge discovery – to connect you with relevant knowledge from across the organization in real time, in the context of your work
* Content services – which unlocks knowledge in content to power business processes and compliance
* Expertise and answers – to connect you with experts, so you can resource projects, share best practices, and get questions answered; and
* Workplace insights – which help individuals, teams, and organizations ensure well-being and effectiveness

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
- These are slides of the talk given at IEEE International Conference on Software Testing Verification and Validation Workshop, ICSTW 2022.

3. Agenda
• Evolution of Search
• Classic Search Experience
• Modern Search Experience
• Bing Search Experience
4. We all struggle finding information…
I can’t find our
health insurance
claim form.
“ “
I need directions to
Building 92 for our
meeting.
“ “
Where did I put
that document I
was working on?
“ “
I need to find the
most current
industry research
data for this client
proposal.
“
“
Can you share that
PowerPoint you
presented
yesterday?
“ “
Mark is no longer
here, where can I
find his project
files?
“ “
Hang on, I think it’s
on my hard drive… or
was it OneDrive?
Maybe it’s on
SharePoint instead?
“ “Who is Peggy’s
manager?“
“
5. The Why?
• Inundated by too much data and
content
• Searching at work is frustrating
• Our expectations have changed
6. How much is
too much?
Stored in multiple locations:
Company intranets
Cloud services
SharePoint
OneDrive
Line of business applications
On-premises servers
44
76%
7. Why is
searching at
work
frustrating?
Users are faced with multiple, distinct search experiences:
• Context and application-switching to find information
• Each entry point has a different search UX
• Results are partial, and inconsistent across applications
and there are just too many results to dig through to find
the right one.
8. Our expectations
have changed…
• We want searching at work to be as easy
as searching the web
• We want results that are relevant and
personalized
• We want answers to our questions, not
just
more links
9. As a result…
• of our time at work is spent just looking for information
• That’s 1 day a week lost per employee!
No wonder companies have spent billions of dollars
building custom solutions to try and solve this problem.
20%
10. Internet Search vs
Intranet Search
• When you search on an INTERNET
• You are looking for news, music, how-to, cultural
information
• When you search on an INTRANET
• You are looking for relevant business content,
documents, how-to, and enterprise specific
information
• What does that mean?
• Our search on the INTERNET is more of a general
topic and we are looking for more broad results.
• Our search on the INTRANET is more specific to
things like company policies, Time off,
applications, or company procedures.
11. Top 10 Search
Engines
• Google - Offering everything from image searches, map searches, news
searches, etc. With impressive keyword relevancy and a continuously
improving search algorithm, it's easy to see why Google is still the
reigning champ.
• Bing - The Microsoft powered search engine prides itself on being a
"decision engine" by offering search suggestions on the side column
and providing extra search options.
• Yahoo - While Yahoo has been suffering as of late, it's still a classic and
a popular search engine.
• Ask - Clean layout and handy results grouping.
• AOL Search - AOL continues to be used, primarily by people who still
use AOL. They're out there somewhere.
• DogPile - the once alternative to Google is getting a comeback and is a
great alternative to bigger search engines.
• Duck Duck Go - Doesn't track your search history and is avoids
spammy sites.
• The Internet Archive - This search engine lets users travel back in time
to see how web pages looked in years gone by. A very fun search
engine to play around with.
15. Best Practice for classic
search is to use Metadata
• Manual Classification
• pre-defined taxonomy-based using Term Store
and content types
• Users are lazy
• Required fields are sometimes problematic
(documents with no checked-in version)
• Automatic Classification
• Custom Entity Extraction (on-premises only)
• pre-defined taxonomy-based using Term Store
and content types
• Machine-learning, e.g. Cognitive Services for
images

Crawl and content processing
The crawl and content processing architecture consists of the following:
Crawl component
Crawls content sources to collect crawled properties and metadata from crawled items and sends this information to the content processing component.
Crawl database
Contains information about crawled items, such as last crawl time, the last crawl ID, and the type of update during the last crawl.
Content processing component
Crawls content sources to collect crawled properties and metadata from crawled items and sends this information to the index component.
Index
The index component receives the processed items from the content processing component and writes them to the search index. This component also handles incoming queries, retrieves information from the search index, and sends back the result set to the query processing component.
Query processing
The query processing component analyzes and processes search queries and results. The processed query is then submitted to the index component, which returns a set of search results for the query.
Search administration
Search administration is composed of the search administration component and its corresponding database.
Search administration component
Runs the system processes for search, and adds and initializes new instances of search components.
Search administration database
Stores search configuration data.
Analytics
The analytics architecture consists of the analytics processing component, analytics reporting database, and link database.
Analytics processing component
Performs search analytics and usage analytics.
Link database
Stores information extracted by the content processing component and search click information.
Analytics reporting database
Stores the results of usage analytics.
Event store
Stores usage events that are captured on the front-end.

Ladder it back to the 3 frustrations:
Lots of app-switching to find info
Each entry point has a different search UX to lean
Results are partial, and inconsistent across applications
The Graph is a technology that can tie together all the Microsoft products allowing them to share data intelligence.
In the simplest terms Microsoft Graph is a way (API interface) to search Users, Groups, Mail, Calendars, Contacts, Files etc. across all Microsoft technology, all from a single endpoint such as Search.
In SharePoint Online and on office.com, search is personal, and the search results are even easier to explore. Another user will see different results than you, even when you both search for the same words.
You'll only see results that you already have access to, and other users can’t find your private documents.
Even before you start typing, you'll see results based on your previous activity in Office 365. The results update as you start typing.
If these results aren’t what you’re looking for, click the link to see more results or press Enter to open the search results page and see and explore all the results. Here's an example of search results from SharePoint:
Explore the search results to see more details about the people and files you've found, or refine your search to get other results. Here’s an expert tip to quickly see more, or less, details of a result - you can actually click anywhere in the empty space of the result.
You can navigate to locations that you want to explore further and, if you've searched in SharePoint Online, you can change where the results come from. For example, if you searched from a site, but really meant to search all of SharePoint, then you’re just one click away. Or, if the site you searched from is associated with another site, but you want to search all the associated sites.
When you exit a search results page, you return to the page where you started your search.
