Data-Driven Publishing: Using Big Data and smart analysis to make better decisions across the business -- Presented by Ken Brooks, Senior Vice President, Global Supply Chain Management, McGraw-Hill
At Publishers Launch Frankfurt, Frankfurt Book Fair, 8 October 2013
With more data from more internal and external sources available to publishers than ever before, and with ever-more powerful tools and service providers to crunch them, it is incumbent on C-level executives to build Big Data capabilities into their organizations. The possibilities, and the imperatives, will be the topic for Ken Brooks, who has held senior management positions at Bantam Doubleday Dell, Simon & Schuster, Barnes & Noble, and Cengage, and is both a master of data and experienced with all kinds of publishing.
Although there are service providers to do Big Data crunching, and any publisher might use them for some challenges, Brooks believes that learning to use available tools routinely will become a necessary skill set in most publishing houses. He says the key is to become more “data-driven” in analysis and decision-making, because data-driven decisions are possible in more ways than ever before and because publishing is particularly amenable to improvement through the skilled use of data.
Brooks also points out that routine Big Data analysis will become increasingly accurate and beneficial over time. He believes it is an emerging competitive tool of great importance and that the companies that get it soonest will gain great advantage. In this presentation, he will give publishers ideas about how to use Big Data across their enterprise: marketing, editorial, operations, and finance.

בהרצאה תלמדו מהם היתרונות, החסרונות, המגבלות ואפילו האמונות הטפלות שיש לאנשים לגבי מערכת אנליטיקס מותאמת אישית, ולבסוף תדעו מה עליכם לעשות כדי לבנות כזו מערכת עבור הארגון שלכם.
Everyone is talking about Data Mesh architectures already - assuming that there is already a full-fledged self-service data platform in place. A reality check reveals, that most (data) platforms are not really working that well, and fail to deliver value at scale. And in contrast to the business notion of a platform, where network effects make platforms even more valuable, the more users and products are there, this does not hold true for data platforms in particular (at least I haven't seen a proof so far).
So where to start, when data-transforming an organization? One approach, inspired by the Lean framework, is outlined in this talk. It all starts with what is actually working - identify some (data) products that drive value already. These are the ones you can build a platform for. It's a myth that you just need to build a solid platform, and then everyone will come and build amazing data products. They will never come. But starting with what already works is a reasonable first step. Step two is about creating flow, supporting the value stream end-to-end. Co-creation is your main tool here, fostering collaboration and ownership. Then you can think of platformizing what is really, really needed, avoiding the "waste" that modern data systems / platforms / architectures tend to pile up. In the end, the "right" architecture for your organization will emerge, you cannot simply copy-paste "solutions" that are not addressing your specific challenges.
Long story short, there is a path to success, but it's not easy, it's not copying others, it's finding your own way. And as in all good strategies, you can specify the "qualities" you'd like to see in the end. And the concrete solutions need to emerge from the hard work of the motivated people, that are already driving value for your organization now.
Data teams are contributing to a variety of value streams, as they are delivering value to a variety of stakeholders. The value streams are often not well-supported and the involved teams are facing constant challenges like Data Quality and Data Ownership. Also, data products often rely on the same data points for building the product and for measuring its success - so a lack of data quality leads to poor product quality and weak measurability at the same time. These challenges become exponentially harder, the larger the organization has grown. We propose a way of conceptualizing and visualizing the process of building data products, using the concept of the data value chain. Applying the Five Principles of Lean, especially Defining Value and Mapping out Data Value Streams, to the way build data products and operate data systems at scale, we create a framework that allows to focus on value delivery, avoids "waste" and supports ownership.
Talk at MCubed London about Manifold Learning and ApplicationsStefan Kühn
How to make use of of Manifold Learning methods for Dimensionality Reduction, Data Visualization and Automated Feature Engineering, this time also with UMAP - most of the cool stuff is in the Jupyter notebooks
Data Science - Cargo Cult - Organizational ChangeStefan Kühn
The document discusses challenges that large organizations face in integrating AI/machine learning due to misalignments between their organizational structure and data flows. Specifically, it notes that hierarchical structures optimize top-down decision making rather than collaboration and data quality. It suggests organizations need to align structure with horizontal data flows, allow know-how to move more freely across product teams, and ensure management has sufficient data skills to effectively leverage AI. The solution involves more holistic product development, flexible expert teams, and representation of data scientists in top management.

The document discusses learning to rank, which involves using machine learning techniques to generate ordered rankings based on training data. It describes ranking as a supervised learning problem that deals with ordinal labels rather than categorical or real-valued labels. The document outlines different approaches to learning to rank, including pointwise, pairwise, and listwise methods. It also provides examples of applications like search engine rankings and personalized ad recommendations.

Visualizing and Communicating High-dimensional DataStefan Kühn
Slides from my talk at Data Natives, starting with the different Modes of Perception, the components of Visualization and Graphics and how to transport Information efficiently, then giving examples of how modern approximation techniques - manifold learning, principal curves - and visualization techniques - pair plots, correlation plots, parallel coordinates, grand tour - can be used in order to approach complex multi-dimensional data.
Data quality - The True Big Data ChallengeStefan Kühn
The document discusses data quality challenges, especially with big data. It notes that data quality starts at data creation and production, and that both data producers and consumers play a role. With big data, quality issues like redundancy, lack of resolution, and noise are exacerbated due to diverse sources of data, lack of documentation and standards, and increasing volumes of data. The document recommends treating data as a product and implementing quality standards, detection of problems, and root cause analysis to improve quality rather than just collecting more raw data. A shared responsibility approach between business and IT is needed to develop a common understanding of data.
In this talk we discuss the connections between (Supervised) Learning and Mathematical Optimization. Topics include iterative algorithm, search directions and stepsizes. The talk has been held at the Computer Science, Machine Learning and Statistics Meetup Hamburg.
