This document provides an overview of the resources and services available to PhD candidates from the HEC Library and LACED. It discusses how the library can assist with various stages of the research process, including literature reviews, data collection, data analysis, and writing. It describes databases, software, and other tools for topics like literature, financial and economic data, qualitative and quantitative analysis. Workshops are also provided on subjects like writing templates in LaTeX and EndNote for reference management. Librarians are available for assistance or further information.
The document provides an overview of the Journal Usage Statistics Portal (JUSP). JUSP gives librarians centralized access to journal, book, database and platform usage reports from publishers in a standardized way. It collects over 30,000 COUNTER-compliant reports per month from over 85 publishers. The document demonstrates how to use JUSP to find reports, view annual usage summaries, check for missing data or publishers, and identify titles with access denials. Additional resources for learning about JUSP and COUNTER reports are also listed.
The document discusses database and platform reports available in JUSP. It covers what the reports count, how to access and view the reports, terminology used in the reports, and next steps to expand the number of publishers and reports provided. The DB and PR reports in JUSP provide usage statistics on searches, result clicks, record views, and access denials from various database providers.
The webinar covered Jisc's new data visualizations in JUSP, including 19 interactive dashboards visualizing journal usage data from 2009-2017. Features and functionality were demonstrated. While books and databases are in development, the current visualizations focus on journal-level and publisher-level usage trends and comparisons. Feedback is sought to further develop the visualizations to meet user needs.

ICIC 2017: Publication Analysis and Publication Strategy Dr. Haxel Consult
Dieter Küry (Novartis Pharma, Switzerland)
Using analytical methods are more and more replacing database searching in a knowledge manager's daily activities. In this presentation various facets of publication analysis will be presented and discussed. These new methods were applied for the analysis of publications in scientific journals and visuals were created to deduct publications strategies. On the technical side, the overall analysis process requires diverse tools for reference managing, text analysis and visualization. The impact on skills of the knowledge manager who moves from the expert for query languages to the expert for creation and maintaining of thesauri is also shown. Main benefit of the analytical methods compared to traditional database searching is the manifold use of results, which are easily adaptable to new requirements.
The document discusses using Tableau to drive insights that lead to strategic and operational changes. It emphasizes that insights are more memorable and engaging than linear solutions and can drive systemic change by changing how people think. The document provides guidance on tailoring insights for executives versus operations, focusing on different types of questions, levels of detail, and timeframes. It also outlines design principles for facilitating insights, including showing comparisons, causality, multivariate data, and integrating evidence. The key takeaways are to identify stakeholder goals and questions, relate questions to goals, create dashboards presenting insights as opportunities, and simplify visualizations.
Staples Europe is implementing a phased rollout of a SAP HANA and BusinessObjects platform called FAST BI between 2015-2018 to standardize reporting across its operations in Europe. The goals are to have one version of the truth, common data governance, and replace existing disparate systems. Release 1 focuses on the HANA and BO foundation, standard reports, self-service analytics with Lumira, and interfaces to source systems. Challenges include it being a greenfield project and coordinating with related ERP and data implementation programs. A phased, scoped approach is recommended to deliver value incrementally while integrating with business processes.

Designing and Implementing Service Delivery Models in Research Administration Presentation at the 4th Annual Florida Research Administration Conference (FRAC) at the University of Central Florida (UCF)
This document discusses assessing the value of open access agreements through usage statistics. It outlines key questions around negotiation, flipped journals, institutional budgets, and impact of policies that usage statistics could help answer. These include determining high-value titles, trends in open versus closed content usage, global impact and contribution to title flipping, and comparing usage of funded versus non-funded research outputs. The document also discusses taking a holistic view beyond just publisher platforms and aggregating item-level usage data alongside publication details to fully understand impacts. Jisc's work with global usage reports and IRUS is highlighted as ways they are exploring these issues.

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.

The Building Blocks of QuestDB, a Time Series Databasejavier ramirez
Talk Delivered at Valencia Codes Meetup 2024-06.
Traditionally, databases have treated timestamps just as another data type. However, when performing real-time analytics, timestamps should be first class citizens and we need rich time semantics to get the most out of our data. We also need to deal with ever growing datasets while keeping performant, which is as fun as it sounds.
It is no wonder time-series databases are now more popular than ever before. Join me in this session to learn about the internal architecture and building blocks of QuestDB, an open source time-series database designed for speed. We will also review a history of some of the changes we have gone over the past two years to deal with late and unordered data, non-blocking writes, read-replicas, or faster batch ingestion.
State of Artificial intelligence Report 2023kuntobimo2016
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a multidisciplinary field of science and engineering whose goal is to create intelligent machines.
We believe that AI will be a force multiplier on technological progress in our increasingly digital, data-driven world. This is because everything around us today, ranging from culture to consumer products, is a product of intelligence.
The State of AI Report is now in its sixth year. Consider this report as a compilation of the most interesting things we’ve seen with a goal of triggering an informed conversation about the state of AI and its implication for the future.
We consider the following key dimensions in our report:
Research: Technology breakthroughs and their capabilities.
Industry: Areas of commercial application for AI and its business impact.
Politics: Regulation of AI, its economic implications and the evolving geopolitics of AI.
Safety: Identifying and mitigating catastrophic risks that highly-capable future AI systems could pose to us.
Predictions: What we believe will happen in the next 12 months and a 2022 performance review to keep us honest.
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.

Global Situational Awareness of A.I. and where its headedvikram sood
You can see the future first in San Francisco.
Over the past year, the talk of the town has shifted from $10 billion compute clusters to $100 billion clusters to trillion-dollar clusters. Every six months another zero is added to the boardroom plans. Behind the scenes, there’s a fierce scramble to secure every power contract still available for the rest of the decade, every voltage transformer that can possibly be procured. American big business is gearing up to pour trillions of dollars into a long-unseen mobilization of American industrial might. By the end of the decade, American electricity production will have grown tens of percent; from the shale fields of Pennsylvania to the solar farms of Nevada, hundreds of millions of GPUs will hum.
The AGI race has begun. We are building machines that can think and reason. By 2025/26, these machines will outpace college graduates. By the end of the decade, they will be smarter than you or I; we will have superintelligence, in the true sense of the word. Along the way, national security forces not seen in half a century will be un-leashed, and before long, The Project will be on. If we’re lucky, we’ll be in an all-out race with the CCP; if we’re unlucky, an all-out war.
Everyone is now talking about AI, but few have the faintest glimmer of what is about to hit them. Nvidia analysts still think 2024 might be close to the peak. Mainstream pundits are stuck on the wilful blindness of “it’s just predicting the next word”. They see only hype and business-as-usual; at most they entertain another internet-scale technological change.
Before long, the world will wake up. But right now, there are perhaps a few hundred people, most of them in San Francisco and the AI labs, that have situational awareness. Through whatever peculiar forces of fate, I have found myself amongst them. A few years ago, these people were derided as crazy—but they trusted the trendlines, which allowed them to correctly predict the AI advances of the past few years. Whether these people are also right about the next few years remains to be seen. But these are very smart people—the smartest people I have ever met—and they are the ones building this technology. Perhaps they will be an odd footnote in history, or perhaps they will go down in history like Szilard and Oppenheimer and Teller. If they are seeing the future even close to correctly, we are in for a wild ride.
Let me tell you what we see.
