The document summarizes the British electoral system and election process. It discusses how:
1. Britain uses a constituency-based system where MPs represent particular geographical areas. Anyone can run as a candidate by declaring in one of these constituencies.
2. Elections follow formal arrangements, such as candidates submitting expense reports. Voters must be registered and at least 18 years old.
3. Campaigning is more subdued than in the US, with few rallies. The real campaign occurs nationally as parties focus on key issues.
4. Voting takes place on Thursdays at local polling stations. Results are counted and begin reporting overnight, with predictions of the new government by morning.

Harry Surden - Artificial Intelligence and Law OverviewHarry Surden
This document provides an overview of artificial intelligence. It defines AI as using computers to solve problems or make automated decisions for tasks typically requiring human intelligence. The two major AI techniques are logic and rules-based approaches, and machine learning based approaches. Machine learning algorithms find patterns in data to infer rules and improve over time. While AI is limited and cannot achieve human-level abstract reasoning, pattern-based machine learning is powerful for automation and many tasks through proxies without requiring true intelligence. Successful AI systems are often hybrids of the approaches or work with human intelligence.

Taming the ever-evolving Compliance Beast : Lessons learnt at LinkedIn [Strat...Shirshanka Das
Just when you think you have your Kafka and Hadoop clusters set up and humming and you’re well on your path to democratizing data, you realize that you now have a very different set of challenges to solve. You want to provide unfettered access to data to your data scientists, but at the same time, you need to preserve the privacy of your members, who have entrusted you with their data.
Shirshanka Das and Tushar Shanbhag outline the path LinkedIn has taken to protect member privacy in its scalable distributed data ecosystem built around Kafka and Hadoop.
They also discuss three foundational building blocks for scalable data management that can meet data compliance regulations: a centralized metadata system, a standardized data lifecycle management platform, and a unified data access layer. Some of these systems are open source and can be of use to companies that are in a similar situation. Along the way, they also look to the future—specifically, to the General Data Protection Regulation, which comes into effect in 2018—and outline LinkedIn’s plans for addressing those requirements.
But technology is just part of the solution. Shirshanka and Tushar also share the culture and process change they’ve seen happen at the company and the lessons they’ve learned about sustainable process and governance.

The document summarizes 10 key facts about the future of work: 1) Jobs are becoming more knowledge-based, requiring skills like analytical thinking. 2) Employment has grown most in healthcare, education, and professional services. 3) Automation is replacing many traditional jobs, with estimates that 47-50% of current jobs could be automated. 4) People see other jobs as more at risk of automation than their own. 5) More people express worry than optimism about automation's impact. 6) Workers see technology as more positively impacting their careers. 7) Higher-educated workers report greater benefits from technology. 8) Skills in technology, communication, and lifelong learning are seen as most important for the future. 9)
Google continues to dominate search and increase its share. According to data, Google's core search increased 5.9% from October 2016 to May 2017 while its closest competitors like Yahoo and Bing declined. Google distributes search traffic relatively evenly across sites while Facebook and YouTube tend to concentrate traffic on very large sites. Reddit and YouTube send the majority of their referral traffic to just a handful of top sites.

- Multidisciplinary research on dementia -
involving community and people with dementia
Global Leaders for Innovation and Knowledge Program (GLIK)
GLIK2017F MF-504 Capstone Project (March 2nd)
2018.3.2 @ Chuo University, Fujitsu-JAIMS Foundation
RUN TOMORROW is a long distance relay across Japan for people living with dementia. Participants hand off a sash from community to community to raise awareness and create environments where those with dementia can live safely and comfortably. The first event connected two cities over 300km in 2011, and it has since expanded across Japan and to over 6,500km. The goal is to hold RUN TOMORROW around the world to showcase that people with dementia can still participate in and contribute to their communities.
This document summarizes Makoto Okada's capstone project on developing dementia-friendly communities in Japan. The project involves finding insights through field research, prototyping concepts by mapping stakeholders across sectors, developing relationships through activities like study groups, connecting these ideas and relationships to generate recursive projects, and ultimately utilizing the connections to create tools and strengthen the social ecosystem for dementia issues in Japan. The five-step process focuses on developing multi-layered relationships through a series of activities, relationship building, and innovative mediation.
This document discusses using alternative dispute resolution (ADR) processes to create strategic networks for addressing dementia as a social issue in Japan. It notes that the number of elderly people with dementia in Japan is projected to increase significantly in the coming decades. The document proposes an "Innovation Architecture" approach using a series of ADR processes across business, public, and social sectors to develop new elements and approaches for dementia issues. These networks aim to inspire social innovation nationally and internationally through open data sharing and collaborative projects.
