This is my presentation on the role of context in market research for Asia Research seminar on 27 May 2014 in Singapore. The presentation explores the importance of understanding cultural history, the difficult of translating meaning as well as language, and how context and emotion relate to human behaviour. The conclusion is that all research needs to start from an appreciation of the emotional context of human behaviour.

How do I harness my knowledge, experience and networks to drive important decisions or solve problems?
What if you could gain the productive and telling insights to drive better, faster, more relevant decisions and solve problems in a simple, visually engaging way?

These slides are from NYAI #27: Cognitive Architecture & Natural Language Processing w/ Dr. Catherine Havasi, which took place Tues, 12/18/19 at Kirkland & Ellis NYC.
[Speaker Bio] Dr. Catherine Havasi is a technology strategist, artificial intelligence researcher, and entrepreneur. In the late 90s, she co-founded the Common Sense Computing Initiative, or ConceptNet, the first crowd-sourced project for artificial intelligence and the largest open knowledge graph for language understanding. ConceptNet has played a role in thousands of AI projects and will be turning 20 next year. She has started several companies commercializing AI research, including Luminoso where she acts as Chief Strategy Officer. She is currently a visiting scientist at the MIT Media Lab where she works on computational creativity and previously directed the Digital Intuition group.
[Abstract] People who build everything from entertainment experiences to financial management face a dilemma: how can you scale what you’re building for broader consumption, yet maintain the personalization that makes it special? A fundamental tension exists between building something individualized, and scaling it to consumers such as visitors at a theme park, or gamers exploring the latest Zelda adventure. True disruption happens when we overcome the idea that one must sacrifice personalization to achieve mass production — like it has in advertising, recommendations, and web search.
Artificial Intelligence practitioners, especially in natural language understanding, dialogue, and cognitive modeling, face the same issue: how can we personalize our models for all audiences without relying on unscalable efforts such as writing specific rules, building dialogue trees, or designing knowledge graphs? Catherine Havasi believes we can remove this dichotomy and achieve “mass personalization.” In this session we’ll discuss how to understand domain text and build believable digital characters. We’ll talk about how adding a little common sense, cognitive architectures, and planning is making this all possible.

Where are all the Semantic Web agents? There are billions of "machine readable" open facts on the Semantic Web, i.e. Linked Open Data (LOD), isn't that enough? It looks like it's not. We're still far from seeing Lucy's and Pete's agents brilliantly solving their tasks with the help of other Semantic Web agents they can trust (Tim Berners Lee et al., The Semantic Web, Scientific American (2001) ). Despite its technological impact on many applications and areas, the Semantic Web promised to cause a breakthrough that we didn't yet experience. One issue is that LOD ontologies are not as linked as they should be. Another issue is that formalising only semi-structured Web pages or databases is not enough for making them able to operate. They also need to reason with commonsense knowledge, the encoding of which is a long-standing challenge in Artificial Intelligence. A third consideration is that most existing commonsense knowledge bases lack formal semantics and situational constraints. In this talk I will advocate the role of the Semantic Web as a provider of a knowledge graph of commonsense to Artificial Intelligence, and discuss ways and obstacles towards the achievement of this goal.

Knowledge Gap: The Magic behind Knowledge ExpansionAJHSSR Journal
As the world moves to a global knowledge based economy, the idea of knowledge expansion
becomes cardinal to the growth and development of depressed economies and in expanding these knowledge
frontiers individuals and organizations need to continually interact with each other to enhance knowledge. The
study therefore, seeks to evaluate the concept of knowledge gap as the magic behind knowledge expansion. In
meeting theoretical expectations and needs, the study interrogate the nature and concept of knowledge showing
vividly the functionality of social interactions as a device for acknowledging epistemic authority where valuable
information can be shared since social interactions provide enabling ground for the development of common
identity. In identifying the factors hampering knowledge expansion among developing economies, the study
came up with the pore model of knowledge gap which acknowledges the fact that political power and lack of
access to financial resources has corrupted knowledge seeking behaviour in developing economic settings
thereby creating a gap between the low and high advantaged segments of the economy. We therefore conclude
that in closing these identified gaps, depressed economies should liberalize their educational sector at all level to
encourage active and more knowledge seekers

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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.
