This document analyzes hotel performance data over the 2016 Easter holiday weekend. It reports that among major global markets, Kyoto, Japan and Macau, China had the highest Easter eve occupancy rates at 98.4% and 98.1% respectively. In the US, New York City and the Florida Keys had the highest Easter eve occupancy rates at 92.2% and 91.5%. Additionally, Easter eve average daily rates in the US have exceeded $100 for the past five years, with only 2008 previously reaching over $100. Globally, hotel occupancy and rates are typically higher on the Saturday before Easter than on Easter Sunday itself.
At a time when hotels need to take every precaution to avoid falling victim to a data breach and being branded as insecure, consumers don't seem to know much about the security issues that worry them.
Marriott International and Hilton clearly lead the way for publicly listed hotel companies in terms of market capitalization, but both lag well behind the largest players in the overall world of travel.
A recent survey of U.S. guests from Oracle Hospitality and Phocuswright shows that guests have strong opinions about in-room Wi-Fi. temperature and light controls, entertainment and technology-assisted housekeeping.
Jan Freitag’s 5 things to Know U.S. January Performance DataHOTEL NEWS NOW (STR)
Luxury and upper upscale hotel chains saw RevPAR growth of 7.1% and 4.3% respectively in January, driven by healthy increases in average daily rates. The inauguration of the US President led to double-digit RevPAR growth in 10 markets including Washington D.C. at 77.1%, boosting occupancy and rates. However, outside the top 25 markets, hotel occupancy remained below 50% for January.
New research from GfK shows roughly a quarter of consumers are willing to be open with companies about their personal data if they're getting something in return.

Jan Freitag’s 5 things to Know U.S. October Performance DataHOTEL NEWS NOW (STR)
Key performance indicators, as expected, show the hotel industry riding out the curve in October, with RevPAR growing for the 80th straight month, but at the slowest rate this year.
Hackers take numerous approaches to probe for and exploit weaknesses in corporate computer systems in their hunt for valuable personal and financial information.
A year after the launch of chip payment, businesses and consumers are still working to get a handle on the technology, while card processors say they’ve seen improvement.
As supply continues to increase and widen its lead over demand, the U.S. hotel industry reported continued occupancy declines, as occupancy fell 0.4% in August. Jan Freitag, SVP of lodging insights at STR, HNN’s parent company, gives his take on how the chain scales performed, which markets show above-average supply growth and more.
Mobile devices like smartphones are ranked as the most important travel accessory, and potential guests use them to book travel in various situations, according to data from Hotels.com.
The 2016 HOST Almanac indicates utility costs were down across the country in 2015 and were particularly low in the central regions. Labor costs are poised to increase in many markets over the next few years. Data from the 2016 HOST Almanac shows the regions with the highest labor costs were the Mid-Atlantic, Pacic and East North Central.
Hotel marketers should consider Pinterest a priority since it plays a key role at both the aspirational and planning stages of the travel-decision-making process.
The hotel industry has reached the halfway point in 2016 as the current cycle continues to unwind. Here’s a look at five things to know about June’s hotel performance data from STR, HNN’s parent company.
End-to-end pipeline agility - Berlin Buzzwords 2024Lars Albertsson
We describe how we achieve high change agility in data engineering by eliminating the fear of breaking downstream data pipelines through end-to-end pipeline testing, and by using schema metaprogramming to safely eliminate boilerplate involved in changes that affect whole pipelines.
A quick poll on agility in changing pipelines from end to end indicated a huge span in capabilities. For the question "How long time does it take for all downstream pipelines to be adapted to an upstream change," the median response was 6 months, but some respondents could do it in less than a day. When quantitative data engineering differences between the best and worst are measured, the span is often 100x-1000x, sometimes even more.
A long time ago, we suffered at Spotify from fear of changing pipelines due to not knowing what the impact might be downstream. We made plans for a technical solution to test pipelines end-to-end to mitigate that fear, but the effort failed for cultural reasons. We eventually solved this challenge, but in a different context. In this presentation we will describe how we test full pipelines effectively by manipulating workflow orchestration, which enables us to make changes in pipelines without fear of breaking downstream.
Making schema changes that affect many jobs also involves a lot of toil and boilerplate. Using schema-on-read mitigates some of it, but has drawbacks since it makes it more difficult to detect errors early. We will describe how we have rejected this tradeoff by applying schema metaprogramming, eliminating boilerplate but keeping the protection of static typing, thereby further improving agility to quickly modify data pipelines without fear.

Enhanced Enterprise Intelligence with your personal AI Data Copilot.pdfGetInData
Recently we have observed the rise of open-source Large Language Models (LLMs) that are community-driven or developed by the AI market leaders, such as Meta (Llama3), Databricks (DBRX) and Snowflake (Arctic). On the other hand, there is a growth in interest in specialized, carefully fine-tuned yet relatively small models that can efficiently assist programmers in day-to-day tasks. Finally, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architectures have gained a lot of traction as the preferred approach for LLMs context and prompt augmentation for building conversational SQL data copilots, code copilots and chatbots.
In this presentation, we will show how we built upon these three concepts a robust Data Copilot that can help to democratize access to company data assets and boost performance of everyone working with data platforms.
Why do we need yet another (open-source ) Copilot?
How can we build one?

ViewShift: Hassle-free Dynamic Policy Enforcement for Every Data LakeWalaa Eldin Moustafa
Dynamic policy enforcement is becoming an increasingly important topic in today’s world where data privacy and compliance is a top priority for companies, individuals, and regulators alike. In these slides, we discuss how LinkedIn implements a powerful dynamic policy enforcement engine, called ViewShift, and integrates it within its data lake. We show the query engine architecture and how catalog implementations can automatically route table resolutions to compliance-enforcing SQL views. Such views have a set of very interesting properties: (1) They are auto-generated from declarative data annotations. (2) They respect user-level consent and preferences (3) They are context-aware, encoding a different set of transformations for different use cases (4) They are portable; while the SQL logic is only implemented in one SQL dialect, it is accessible in all engines.

Natural Language Processing (NLP), RAG and its applications .pptxfkyes25
1. In the realm of Natural Language Processing (NLP), knowledge-intensive tasks such as question answering, fact verification, and open-domain dialogue generation require the integration of vast and up-to-date information. Traditional neural models, though powerful, struggle with encoding all necessary knowledge within their parameters, leading to limitations in generalization and scalability. The paper "Retrieval-Augmented Generation for Knowledge-Intensive NLP Tasks" introduces RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation), a novel framework that synergizes retrieval mechanisms with generative models, enhancing performance by dynamically incorporating external knowledge during inference.
