What can you tell about a prospect from their lead record in your database? Some marketers can look at a lead record and draw some pretty keen insights into what challenges that prospect faces and what is probably keeping him up at night. Would your database marketing strategy benefit from a little clairvoyance?

Beyond document retrieval using semantic annotations Roi Blanco
Traditional information retrieval approaches deal with retrieving full-text document as a response to a user's query. However, applications that go beyond the "ten blue links" and make use of additional information to display and interact with search results are becoming increasingly popular and adopted by all major search engines. In addition, recent advances in text extraction allow for inferring semantic information over particular items present in textual documents. This talks presents how enhancing a document with structures derived from shallow parsing is able to convey a different user experience in search and browsing scenarios, and what challenges we face as a consequence.

This session will cover the theoretical and practical aspects of surveys and survey design. Topics will include: pre-survey design, actualizing a survey, analyzing the results, why and when surveys are appropriate, determining the survey audience, existing Yale surveys, and some survey tools popular at Yale including Survey Monkey, ClassesV2, QuestionMark, Sharepoint, Qualtrics and ITS provided solutions.
Staff from the Stat Lab will touch on some of the salient topics from their Survey Design workshop (free to the Yale community) and discuss the expertise available to the Yale community with quantitative and qualitative (text) analysis and tools such as SPSS Text Analysis for Surveys and NVivo.
Presenters will be Themba Flowers, Manager of the Social Science Stat Lab and Scott Matheson, Web Manager at the Yale University Library.
The presentation was delivered to the Bagwell College of Education faculty and students. The outline:
1. Using generative #AI to develop a research question and topic, build a conceptual framework
2. AI-based search engines and the use of generative AI technology for searching
3. Analysis and synthesis of the literature
4. Pros and cons of using generative AI to review literature
This presentation deals with enhancing Quality of Research in Social Sciences. It enlists the problems faced , errors in research and guides on improving Quality of Research.

Science is in transition. If all goes well, the transition is towards more open, efficient and honest/reproducible practices. Libraries should move with this change by supporting open science instead of just open access. Building on their successful project "101 innovations in scholarly communication" Jeroen Bosman and Bianca Kramer present their interpretations of what is going on and can be expected in the six phases of the research cycle. They have tested their hypothetical workflows and show how real, day-to-day research workflows are changing from traditional to modern, innovative and experimental. These changes are reflected in tools and sites people use in various phases of that workflow. They might for example change from Web of Science → SPSS → Word+Endnote → Nature → ResearcherID → Impact Factors to Sparrho → ROpenScience+IPythonNotebooks → WriteLateX+Docear → The Winnower → Kudos → Publons+PubPeer. The way new generations of researchers work affects how information will be discovered, re-used, created, shared, communicated and assessed. There are huge opportunities for libraries and other stakeholders to contribute and work with the research community, but only if they are well prepared!

Many of us nowadays invest significant amounts of time in sharing our activities and opinions with friends and family via social networking tools. However, despite the availability of many platforms for scientists to connect and share with their peers in the scientific community the majority do not make use of these tools, despite their promise and potential impact and influence on our future careers. We are being indexed and exposed on the internet via our publications, presentations and data. We also have many more ways to contribute to science, to annotate and curate data, to “publish” in new ways, and many of these activities are as part of a growing crowdsourcing network. This presentation will provide an overview of the various types of networking and collaborative sites available to scientists and ways to expose your scientific activities online. Many of these can ultimately contribute to the developing measures of you as a scientist as identified in the new world of alternative metrics. Participating offers a great opportunity to develop a scientific profile within the community and may ultimately be very beneficial, especially to scientists early in their career.

Applying AI to Root-cause Analysis WebinarDeborah Schalm
Loom Systems (LS) brought together expertise in two core domains - the domain of Root-Cause Analysis and the domain of Artificial Intelligence. Combining the two made it possible to build a revolutionary technology that compensates for, and complements, human shortcomings and cognitive biases when practicing root-cause analysis in the complexity of digital environments.
This proven methodology unlocks the ability to predict and prevent issues from breaking out; And to continuously improve your operations, development, and digital business.
In the session we discussed the following:
How AI can compensate for human cognitive biases when investigating a fault
Automation - How AI and Machine-Learning can replace humans in a big chunk of the repetitive, well-defined but tedious tasks - humans are better at context-rich tasks, as opposed to machines which excel at tasks which require attention to detail, being fast, or excellent memory
How both can be accomplished with the current staff in your business

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.

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.
