This presentation outlines how BBC News Labs is currently working on entity extraction on BBC News content.
It looks at the challenge of how BBC News is going to leverage it's USP of Storytelling, and it's famous purpose - "to INFORM, EDUCATE & ENTERTAIN" globally.
With the millions and millions of "things" that are in our content, how do we discover and connect these things?..
It also mentions 2 key BBC News Labs projects "JUICER" and "#newsVANE", and promotes the http://newshack.co.uk/newshack-ii/ event on May 1st in Dublin & Glasgow.

Rapid Prototyping - a good idea for Startups - battling the human conditionBBC News Labs
This presentation was prepared for a free international startup conference at Ravensbourne College, London.
This is not an extensive "How To" guide for rapid prototyping, it is more a quick guide to outline why we do it, and to give a quick overview of the process.
Mainly: Rapid Prototyping is a great way to battle the human condition: our natural tendencies to spend too much time perfecting an idea or product before launching it; to refine ideas FOREVER, and not test them early enough.

Inbound Marketing & Millennial Donors: A Perfect Marriage4Good.org
The Millennial Generation does not want direct mail from your nonprofit, nor do they want generic communications. To get to these early donors, 84% of which donate or want to donate online, you'll need to earn it through transformative content that effectively tells the story of your cause.
In this webinar learn how to utilize inbound marketing techniques to attract Millennial donors who live on their smartphones, and to how incentivize their giving to your fundraising efforts.
Test-Driven Microservices: System ConfidenceC4Media
Video and slides synchronized, mp3 and slide download available at URL http://bit.ly/1MV0NZr.
Russ Miles shows how we can build production-level confidence in our polyglot microservices by applying the test-driven approach to synchronous and asynchronous services and how by applying specific constraints to the system, testing not only can be successfully applied to the microservices themselves but this can be done simply, easily and can embrace speed of change rather than be an impediment. Filmed at qconlondon.com.
Russ Miles is Lead Engineer at Atomist and Founder at Russ Miles & Associates. His experience covers almost every facet of software delivery having worked across many different domains including Financial Services, Publishing, Defence, Insurance and Search.

The emergence of digital media formats, Internet resources and the ability to create digital content through the use of interactive mobile devices like tablets, smart phones, and interactive whiteboards have now become a standard feature of every learning environment. This presentation by Mike King will provide ways to create digital rich publications. Participants will be provided with various digital tools to construct interactive multimedia-rich publications from text to flipbooks
oT can give you great insight into consumer behaviour and demand, helping to you create the innovative, revenue-generating services of the future. However, there are still lots of challenges around collecting data from devices, which often have significant limitations in terms of processing power, memory and interfaces.
In this presentation, Danilo talks about how Amazon AI services can be used to augment device capabilities to make data collection, storage and analytics easier. He also considers how people can start interacting with machines in a more natural way, for example using natural language understanding (NLU), automatic speech recognition (ASR), visual search and image recognition, text-to-speech (TTS).
Learning objectives:
- Learn how to design IoT solutions using services such as AWS Greengrass and AWS IoT
- Gain insights into practical use cases for Amazon AI services
- Understand the possibilities of using AI from an IoT device
A presentation I pulled together to document the work of an unofficial team at a company I work with. We started the group in July 2006 and it's grown beyond our expectations. I've removed any references which identify the company, so sorry if some bits don't make sense. It's a great case study on Enterprise2.0 and I would be happy to speak to anyone about it should they want to know more.
In this talk, I reflect on the tasks commonly involved in crafting visualizations and show examples of different applications of information/data visualization. Along this ride I will share my workflow, point out the common pitfalls and provide recommendations.
These slides were from my guest lecture in InfoVis class at UC Berkeley iSchool on Apr 11, 2016. Thank you Prof. Marti Hearst for inviting.

As Europe's leading economic powerhouse and the fourth-largest hashtag#economy globally, Germany stands at the forefront of innovation and industrial might. Renowned for its precision engineering and high-tech sectors, Germany's economic structure is heavily supported by a robust service industry, accounting for approximately 68% of its GDP. This economic clout and strategic geopolitical stance position Germany as a focal point in the global cyber threat landscape.
In the face of escalating global tensions, particularly those emanating from geopolitical disputes with nations like hashtag#Russia and hashtag#China, hashtag#Germany has witnessed a significant uptick in targeted cyber operations. Our analysis indicates a marked increase in hashtag#cyberattack sophistication aimed at critical infrastructure and key industrial sectors. These attacks range from ransomware campaigns to hashtag#AdvancedPersistentThreats (hashtag#APTs), threatening national security and business integrity.
🔑 Key findings include:
🔍 Increased frequency and complexity of cyber threats.
🔍 Escalation of state-sponsored and criminally motivated cyber operations.
🔍 Active dark web exchanges of malicious tools and tactics.
Our comprehensive report delves into these challenges, using a blend of open-source and proprietary data collection techniques. By monitoring activity on critical networks and analyzing attack patterns, our team provides a detailed overview of the threats facing German entities.
This report aims to equip stakeholders across public and private sectors with the knowledge to enhance their defensive strategies, reduce exposure to cyber risks, and reinforce Germany's resilience against cyber threats.

Techniques to optimize the pagerank algorithm usually fall in two categories. One is to try reducing the work per iteration, and the other is to try reducing the number of iterations. These goals are often at odds with one another. Skipping computation on vertices which have already converged has the potential to save iteration time. Skipping in-identical vertices, with the same in-links, helps reduce duplicate computations and thus could help reduce iteration time. Road networks often have chains which can be short-circuited before pagerank computation to improve performance. Final ranks of chain nodes can be easily calculated. This could reduce both the iteration time, and the number of iterations. If a graph has no dangling nodes, pagerank of each strongly connected component can be computed in topological order. This could help reduce the iteration time, no. of iterations, and also enable multi-iteration concurrency in pagerank computation. The combination of all of the above methods is the STICD algorithm. [sticd] For dynamic graphs, unchanged components whose ranks are unaffected can be skipped altogether.
