Presentation at Watson DevCon 2016, given by Rama Akkiraju.
Getting to know each other, tailoring our communication style, conversing with each other naturally — humans do this everyday. Now, with the advent of cognitive technologies, computers can, too. Find out how you can create apps that can engage and delight users with APIs that predict personality from writings, analyze linguistic tones from communications, and automate conversations. See firsthand how easy it can be to make digital interactions at massive scale personal and productive.
IBM Watson, the cognitive technology that enhances, scales, & accelerates human expertise, is available to anyone through Bluemix, IBM’s PaaS. Watson's cognitive capabilities on Bluemix will enhance apps & help developers realize ideas not possible with today's systems.
Quick test, ask your phone “find anything but pizza restaurants”. Did you get back a list of pizza restaurants? Think about how we’ve been trained to keyword search. We have all been Google-fied & we may not even know it. Humans adapt their language, one that predates machines, to the limitations of a system.
But Watson is not a machine that lets us talk to it. It’s bigger, and that’s why this is a historic moment for developers, businesses & entrepreneurs. IBM is creating tools that can understand language, determine a personality portrait, expand concepts & more. In this session we will discuss & demo Watson Services on Bluemix & how developers can now embed these into their apps for unprecedented cognitive power.
In oratory, “brevity is the soul of wit.” In startups, this principle takes the form of the MVP – the “minimum viable product” – with just enough development and functionality to successfully launch a product or service. In data science, this takes the form of visualizations and analyses that are “minimally sufficient” or as simple as possible while still providing the critical insight into data. A data science MVP not only makes the analyst’s job faster, less complicated, and less prone to errors, it is also the ideal method for communicating insights with clients and colleagues. In this presentation we will discuss several of the most important elements of MVPs as applied to data science, such as methods for data wrangling, choosing tools for visualization and analysis, designing graphics, and principles of minimally sufficient collaboration and communication.

How Did I Miss That Bug? Managing Cognitive Bias in TestingTechWell
How many bugs have you missed that were obvious to others? We all approach testing hampered by our own biases. Understanding our biases—preconceived notions and the ability to focus our attention—is key to effective test design, test execution, and defect detection. Gerie Owen and Peter Varhol share an understanding of how the testers’ mindsets and cognitive biases influence their testing. Using principles from the social sciences, Gerie and Peter demonstrate that you aren’t as smart as you think you are. They show how to use knowledge of biases—Inattentional Blindness, Representative Bias, the Curse of Knowledge, and others—not only to understand the impact of cognitive bias on testing but also to improve your individual and test team results. Finally, Gerie and Peter provide tips for managing your biases and focusing your attention in the right places throughout the test process so you won’t miss that obvious bug.

I was left for one year on a deserted island with food ,water shelter and wi-fi only access 1 form of contemplator media on the island ,my choice will be social media. I can have a large audience have connection with your audience can create organic content have access to advertising services build my hand drive traffic to my websites can evaluate my performance. Example of social media is Facebook 2.74 billion users the impact from the media can increased risk for depression, anxiety, loneliness, self-harm and even suicidal thoughts. social media may promote negative experiences such as inadequacy about your life or appeared. Social Media has been causing people to change such as their looks or even clothing. Such as, if someone were to brought something that was on the internet and it's highly popular. They would want to buy it too but the person would buy it for no good reason which would lost so much money which would affect the outcome of their life. This is something that can be related to education.
Sabrina post
Left on a deserted island with food, water, shelter and Fi-Fi for one year, the one form of contemporary media I would choose to have would be video streaming service. I would choose video streaming service because my favorite thing to do in my down time is watch television programs. It is comforting to me to sit back and watch television and it is something that I enjoy doing. Whenever stressed or depressed, television programs give me something to focus on and entertain myself, helping me not focus on what is going on in my life that is stressing me out or causing me to be sad. As a child, I experienced some traumatic things and my parent would put me in a room to watch television during those times and that was my comfort, and can remain my comfort to this day because I can watch television anywhere thanks to video streaming. Video streaming service has impacted American culture through its accessibility to watch programming from any device. We have became accustomed to binge watching programs, not wasting time on advertising and this has pulled us away from public television and cable television. It also pulls us away from conversation with others, since the programming is at our finger tips where-ever we go. Video streaming services also are forever impacting surges in American culture from the programs they show. When a show on a video streaming service takes off and gains mass popularity (also due to its accessibility, binge-watching ability, and social media), the program itself can create a new craze in America. For example, when Netflix aired a new series about an orphaned girl who becomes a chess prodigy, The Queens Gambit, it gained viewers quickly and according to Hak (2021), "The interesting thing is that the show didn’t just entertain viewers, it also set off a new craze for the board game, with chess set sales skyrocketing".

Strategic Issues
After the needs assessment has been completed, the next element of the strategic plan involves developing the strategic issues. Key tasks associated with the strategic issues include conducting a gap analysis, performing an environmental scan, and developing stakeholder surveys. The actions are performed so that you can conduct a SWOT analysis. SWOT stands for STRENGTHS, WEAKNESSES, OPPORUNITIES, and THREATS. A SWOT analysis is used to help an agency, organization, or community better understand the business and environment in which it operates. The goal of developing strategic issues is to list or map out all of the strengths and weaknesses, and then to do the same for all of the opportunities and threats. This helps the organization to identify a strategy for planning. Opportunities that match the strengths are things that should be pursued. Threats that particularly align with weaknesses should be especially avoided when developing a strategic plan.
For this Assignment, you complete a SWOT analysis for Natasha House, Inc.
To prepare:
Review Final Project: Developing a Strategic Plan –S.W.O.T Analysis media in the Weekly Resources.
Consider the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and challenges related to Natasha House, Inc.
Think about the environmental factors you might review in preparation for addressing the strategic issues component for Natasha House, Inc. The environmental factors may include: political, economic, demographic, regulatory, philanthropic, donor trends, and other organizations providing similar services.
The Assignment (4–6 pages):
Conduct a SWOT analysis. This analysis focuses on assessing the present state or condition of Natasha House, Inc.and determining where the organization would like to be. The difference between the two represents the gap, or the difference between where Natasha House, Inc. is currently and where Natasha House, Inc.would like to be. This gap could provide direction for the major focus of the strategic plan.
Describe plans for conducting an environmental scan. The environmental scan is a process in which stakeholders gather and interpret relevant data on an agency, organization, or community to identify external opportunities and threats.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
