    Abstract: All projects, large and small, are subject to various risks. But the failure to manage inherent risk with diligence and know-how can lead to devastating consequences for an organization. In this comprehensive hands-on guide, a renowned expert in the field provides everything organizations need to conduct project risk management the right way. Why do so many projects come in over schedule and over budget? How do projected expenditures and schedules line up with reality? How can you accurately assess risk to mitigate financial disaster? Through a methodical, statistics-based approach, Christian B. Smart reveals: the enduring problem of cost and schedule growth; how rigorous project risk management can reduce the impact of uncertainty; the systematic tendency to underestimate risk-and how to avoid it; ways to accurately assess confidence levels in project risk management; and the need for proper risk management at the portfolio level. The author lays out common problems and explains how to effectively solve them. Ideal for project managers, business analysts, and senior decision makers in both the public and private sectors, Solving for Project Risk Management offers everything you need to ensure your projects run smoothly, on budget, and deliver the expected outcomes.

    Abstract: A personal growth roadmap guiding you into the future of relationships in work, life, play, and giving Curve Benders is a personal growth roadmap. It will guide you through the complicated intersection of work, life, play, and giving. Countless new forces will shape the future, so the strategic relationships we form in these areas of life are, of necessity, changing. This book will show you how to move into the future and dramatically alter your growth trajectory in both its direction and ultimate destination. David Nour, the author of Relationship Economics and a top thought leader on business relationships, has identified fifteen forces that will heavily influence what we do and how and where we engage our current and prospective relationships to create value and make a difference in the lives of others. This book aims to provide you with a step-by-step guide for personal, professional, and organizational growth. The author highlights how certain relationships enable a non-linear growth trajectory. These relationships, in addition to augmenting what we can accomplish, often shape who we become. These relationships are "curve benders," and this book will show you who and where they are, how to find and engage them, and, equally valuable, how you can become a curve bender to impact the lives and livelihoods of others profoundly.

    Abstract: We've seen evidence that a new economic cycle has begun. Technological revolutions come by way of a cluster of new innovations. About a decade ago, you started to see AI, robotics, and IoT (sensors) delivering on automation. That's been powerful, but not transformational. It does not force businesses to fundamentally change how they do business. The last piece of the puzzle is cryptocurrency because it allows us to process and transfer economic value without human intervention. Soon, there will be a global race to build autonomous operations. Businesses and organizations without autonomous operations simply will not be able to compete with those that do because autonomy is the ultimate competitive advantage. Crypto is the mechanism that will accrue value from being the infrastructure for the next digital financial revolution. Crypto Asset Investing in the Age of Autonomy lays out a case that we've begun a new technological revolution similar to the Internet Age of the 1990s. Artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, robotics, and cryptocurrency are converging to deliver on a new age, what author Jake Ryan calls the Age of Autonomy. Understanding the transformation that's taken place before anyone else can yield enormous investment opportunity. In this book, you'll learn how and why to invest in crypto assets.

    Abstract: VisuaLeadership [noun]: The art and science of applying visual thinking and visual communication tools, tips, and techniques, in order to turn your vision into reality. If a picture is worth a thousand words, and finding the right words takes time, and time is money, then wouldn't it follow that business leaders could make more money-in less time-if they simply took a more "visual" approach to how they manage and lead? Okay, it's not quite that simple . . . but VisuaLeadership will forever change the way you think and communicate by showing how you can quickly and easily leverage the power of visual imagery, mental models, metaphor, analogy, storytelling, and humor to help you take your game to a whole new level. The French novelist Marcel Proust famously wrote that, "The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new lands, but in seeing with new eyes." So, if your vision is to become a better communicator and presenter, a more innovative thinker, a more productive performer, a more efficient manager, a more effective coach, or a more visionary and inspirational leader, then this exciting new book will open your "mind's eye" to a whole new world: the world of VisuaLeadership.

    Abstract: Your organization has made the decision to adopt automation and artificial intelligence technologies. Now, you face difficult and stubborn questions about how to implement that decision: How, when, and where should we apply automation in our organization? Is it a stark choice between humans versus machines? How do we stay on top of these technological trends as work and automation continue to evolve? Work and human capital experts Ravin Jesuthasan and John Boudreau present leaders with a new set of tools to answer these daunting questions. Transcending the endless debate about humans being replaced by machines, Jesuthasan and Boudreau show how smart leaders instead are optimizing human-automation combinations that are not only more efficient but also generate higher returns on improved performance. Based on groundbreaking primary research, Reinventing Jobs provides an original, structured approach of four distinct steps-deconstruct, optimize, automate, and reconfigure-to help leaders reinvent how work gets bundled into jobs and create optimal human-machine combinations. Jesuthasan and Boudreau show leaders how to continuously reexamine what a job really is, and they provide the tools for identifying the pivotal performance value of tasks within jobs and how these tasks should be reconstructed into new, more optimal combinations.

    Abstract: The idea that business is only about the money doesn't hold true in the twenty-first century, when companies around the world are giving up traditional distinctions in order to succeed. Yet our expectations for businesses remain under the sway of an outdated worldview that emphasizes profits for shareholders above all else. The Power of And offers a new narrative about the nature of business, revealing the focus on responsibility and ethics that unites today's most influential ideas and companies. R. Edward Freeman, Kirsten E. Martin, and Bidhan L. Parmar detail an emerging business model built on five key concepts: prioritizing purpose as well as profits; creating value for stakeholders as well as shareholders; seeing business as embedded in society as well as markets; recognizing people's full humanity as well as their economic interests; and integrating business and ethics into a more holistic model. Drawing on examples across companies, industries, and countries, they show that these values support persevering in hard times and prospering over the long term. The Power of And presents a conceptual revolution about what it means for business to be responsible, providing a new story for us to tell in order to help all kinds of companies thrive.

    Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic has unleashed a firehose of information (much of it wrong) and an avalanche of opinions (many of them ill-founded). Most of us are so distracted by the everyday awfulness that we don't see the broader issues in play. In this book, economist Joshua Gans steps back from the short-term chaos to take a clear and systematic look at how economic choices are being made in response to COVID-19. He shows that containing the virus and pausing the economy are the necessary first steps. Gans outlines the phases of the pandemic economy, from containment to reset to recovery and enhancement. Warning against thinking in terms of a "tradeoff" between public health and economic health, Gans explains that containment gives us the opportunity to develop effective testing that will make it safe for people to interact. Once the virus is contained, we will need to pivot toward innovating, and, finally, we will come together to plan how to protect ourselves from future pandemics. He looks at policy tools that might aid an economic recovery, distinguishing between economic losses during a pandemic and a recession. Gans lays out the economic choices accessibly but with urgency, leaving politics out of it. Economics in the Age of COVID-19 is a must-listen book for anyone interested in the long-term implications of our current crisis.

    Abstract: In thirty years of working in corporations, Michael Beer has witnessed how organizational silence has derailed many a strategic objective. When lower-level employees in the organization can't speak truth to power, senior leaders don't hear what they need to hear about their firm's fitness to compete. Employees lose trust in higher-ups and become more resistant to change. In Fit to Compete, Beer presents an antidote to silence-an innovative and highly effective process for holding honest conversations with everyone in your organization. Used by over 150 organizations across the globe, the Strategic Fitness Process has helped leaders in industries as diverse as medical technology, restaurant chains, and pharmaceuticals hear the raw and necessary truth about the sources of misalignment between their strategies and their organizations. In addition to a step-by-step guide, Beer offers detailed and illustrative case studies of companies that have used the Strategic Fitness Process to great effect. He also shows how to apply the process more broadly, to a variety of strategic challenges and at multiple levels throughout the organization.

    Abstract: The United States is supposed to offer economic opportunity to everyone. So why are so many people left out in the cold? Globalization and technological change have ravaged the workforce. Hostile immigration policies actually keep Americans from getting jobs. Our education system is deeply unequal, denying opportunity to millions right from the start. Still, we can't seem to break from the status quo. In Common Sense, Joel Greenblatt offers an investor's perspective on building an economy that truly works for everyone. With dry and self-deprecating wit, he makes a lively and provocative case for disruptive new approaches-some drawn from personal experience, some from the outside looking in. How do we ensure that all children have an opportunity for a good education? Does getting a college degree have to be a requirement for getting a good job? If we subsidize banks, how do we ensure that the risks and rewards are distributed fairly? Greenblatt shows why expanding an already existing program might help more people than raising the minimum wage, how dramatically increasing immigration would be like giving every American a bonus, and the reason Australia might be the best place to learn about saving for retirement. Not everyone will agree with what Greenblatt has to say-but all of us can benefit from the conversations he aims to start.

    Abstract: Presented by Kelsey Redman – AVP, Data Science at Comerica Bank Purchasing 3rd party data on individuals can give great insights on customers, but first we have to know which individuals from that outside data source are actually customers and which are just prospects. Without a unique identifier like SSN or Driver’s License number from the 3rd party data, we have to use a combination of name, address, and demographic information to identify the matching customer. Between nicknames, misspelled names and addresses, and family members with similar names all at one address, this quickly becomes a difficult task involving heavy data cleanup and an increasingly complicated series of rules. In this presentation, we demonstrate some techniques to help resolve these entities across data sources by employing the use of supervised classification machine learning techniques to quantify and predict entity “likeness.” We showcase some of the challenges we faced with exploring other entity resolution methods, with manually labeling a comprehensive training set, and how this approach might extend to solve other data issues.

The key to personalization is data, algorithms and offers. Algorithms feed off data. The data environment is becoming more competitive and more regulated. AI at scale makes it possible to utilize internal and external data sources that were previously too complicated, too expensive or too big. The Dark Data sources can now be utilized to: • Enhance sales leads to drive better propensity scoring, better targeting and drive better sales interactions • Create a deeper understanding of audiences to create more relevant microsegments for better targeting, messaging and greater engagement. Companies that can master AI at scale can create Real-time Analytical Pipelines turning data science into Ai Enhanced customer interactions. Growing sales, Engagement and other key metrics. This talk will cover how companies are leveraging Dark Data and Ai pipelines to transform analytics into Ai enhanced interactions.

    Abstract: Presented by Alex Schwarm – VP/Head of Data Science at Dun & Bradstreet For many teams, the most challenging step in delivering useful results, is less about the modeling techniques and methods and more about having access to the right data with the appropriate data coverage of the domain of interest. In this talk, we will describe two specific use cases where data pays a crucial role: one around identifying supply chain risks and one related to prospect targeting. For the supply chain risk use case, we will describe how access to unique data assets reveals the impact of the Coronavirus on supply chains and how this impacts global businesses. We will also describe how some companies are offering data scientists the ability to access data to determine which data assets best solve their business analytics and modeling needs, with a particular focus on prospect targeting.

    Abstract: Presented by Jesse Barbour – Chief Data Scientist at Q2ebanking Due to the specialized and sophisticated nature of many commercially focused financial products offered by banks and fintechs, building recommender systems around those products is especially difficult. Taking inspiration from the field of neural language modeling, we will discuss an application of learning node embeddings on a large-scale financial transaction graph in order to solve this problem.

    Abstract: Presented by Moody Hadi – Group Manager – Financial Engineering at S&P Global Market Intelligence Counterparty financial statements, particularly for small and medium enterprises can be difficult to handle. Financial analysts need to be able to distill out relevant line items in order to calculate their credit exposure to a counterparty for lending purposes. The solution solves a labor intensive, expert driven inefficient process and frees up the analysts to focus on their high value add operations. This involves combining Optical Character Recognition using pre-trained language neural networks, with context sensitive semantic matching. We will go over the developed ML pipleline and architecture.

    Abstract: Presented by Fatih Akici - Manager, Risk Analytics and Data Science at Populus Financial Group As intelligent systems deepen their footprints in our daily lives, algorithmic bias becomes a more prominent problem in today's world. The position of executives and data science leaders to this issue is generally reactive, in that, companies solely respond to the requirements coming from regulatory agencies. In this presentation, I am going to argue why the leaders should be proactive in identifying biases and how they will benefit from fixing them. I will demonstrate my point on an applied example.

    Abstract: The Bogleheads' Guide to Investing is a DIY handbook that espouses the sage investment wisdom of John C. Bogle. This witty and wonderful book offers contrarian advice that provides the first step on the road to investment success, illustrating how relying on typical "common sense" promoted by Wall Street is destined to leave you poorer. This updated edition includes new information on backdoor Roth IRAs and ETFs as mainstream buy and hold investments, estate taxes and gifting, plus changes to the laws regarding Traditional and Roth IRAs, and 401k and 403b retirement plans. With warnings and principles both precisely accurate and grandly counterintuitive, the Boglehead authors show how beating the market is a zero-sum game. Investing can be simple, but it's certainly not simplistic. Over the course of twenty years, the followers of John C. Bogle have evolved from a loose association of investors to a major force with the largest and most active non-commercial financial forum on the Internet. The Bogleheads' Guide to Investing brings that communication to you with comprehensive guidance to the investment prowess on display at Bogleheads.org. You'll learn how to craft your own investment strategy using the Bogle-proven methods that have worked for thousands of investors.

    Abstract: How do venture capital deals come together? This is one of the most frequent questions asked by each generation of new entrepreneurs. Surprisingly, there is little reliable information on the subject. No one understands this better than Brad Feld and Jason Mendelson. The founders and driving force behind the Foundry Group-a venture capital firm focused on investing in early-stage information technology companies-Brad and Jason have been involved in hundreds of venture capital financings. Their investments range from small startups to large Series A venture financing rounds. The new edition of Venture Deals continues to show fledgling entrepreneurs the inner-workings of the VC process, from the venture capital term sheet and effective negotiating strategies to the initial seed and the later stages of development. Fully updated to reflect the intricacies of startups and entrepreneurship in today's dynamic economic environment, this new edition includes revisions and updates to coverage on negotiating, gender issues, ICO's, and economic terms. New chapters examine legal and procedural considerations relevant to fundraising, bank debt, equity and convertible debt, how to hire an investment banker to sell a company, and more.

    Abstract: Open Innovation describes an emergent model of innovation in which firms draw on research and development that may lie outside their own boundaries. In some cases, such as open source software, this research and development can take place in a non-proprietary manner. Henry Chesbrough and his collaborators investigate this phenomenon, linking the practice of innovation to the established body of innovation research, showing what's new and what's familiar in the process. Offering theoretical explanations for the use (and limits) of open innovation, the book examines the applicability of the concept, implications for the boundaries of firms, the potential of open innovation to prove successful, and implications for intellectual property policies and practices. The book will be a must-listen for academics, researchers, and graduate students of innovation and technology management.

    Abstract: You're trying to help-but is it working? Helping others is a good thing. Often, as a leader, manager, doctor, teacher, or coach, it's central to your job. But even the most well-intentioned efforts to help others can be undermined by a simple truth: We almost always focus on trying to "fix" people, correcting problems or filling the gaps between where they are and where we think they should be. Unfortunately, this doesn't work well, if at all, to inspire sustained learning or positive change. There's a better way. In this powerful, practical book, emotional intelligence expert Richard Boyatzis and Weatherhead School of Management colleagues Melvin Smith and Ellen Van Oosten present a clear and hopeful message. The way to help someone learn and change, they say, cannot be focused primarily on fixing problems, but instead must connect to that person's positive vision of themselves or an inspiring dream or goal they've long held. This is what great coaches do-they know that people draw energy from their visions and dreams, and that same energy sustains their efforts to change, even through difficult times. In contrast, problem-centered approaches trigger physiological responses that make a person defensive and less open to new ideas.

    Abstract: Welcome to Corporate Life. The NEW Employee Manual is not your Dad's or Mom's employee manual. It's the new playbook for corporate survival, fitting today's realities and the challenges facing employees who join or work in large, seemingly successful companies. Those companies already issued very specific and detailed employee manuals covering everything under the sun except how to compete well in our brave new world. The NEW Employee Manual will help you navigate the Corporate (with a capital C) labyrinth. Where Corporate's manual shapes you into a dutiful cog for the good of the machine, ours helps you enhance your career for the good of, well, you . . . and your company. The NEW Employee Manual should make you feel skeptical: skeptical of empty slogans, obsolete rituals, obsessive pursuits, and bigwigs' playbooks that no longer work. That alone should be worth this book's price. Skepticism, you see, is a good thing, because it is only the skeptic, only the free-thinker, only the maverick, who asks new questions and finds useful answers. So, are you a maverick or a cog?

    Abstract: Presented by Manojit Nand – Senior Data Scientist at JPMorgan Chase & Co. Understanding how algorithms can reinforce societal biases has become an important topic in data science. Recent work for auditing models for fairness often requires access to potentially sensitive demographic information, placing algorithmic fairness in conflict with individual privacy. For example, gender recognition technology struggles to recognize the gender of transgender individuals. To develop more accurate models, we require information that could “out” these individuals, putting their social, psychological, and physical safety at risk. We will discuss social science perspectives on privacy and how these paradigms can be incorporated into statistical measures of anonymity. I will emphasize the importance of ensuring safety and privacy of all individuals represented in our data, even at the cost of model fairness.

    Abstract: Presented by Anna Schneider, Data Science Manager at Stitch Fix Classic recommender systems are great for answering the question “what does a user want in general?”. However, they only get you partway to an answer to “what does a user want right now?”. To close the gap, it helps to capture and act on real-time user intent. I’ll share two examples of this paradigm, and the resulting changes to our algorithms and architectures at Stitch Fix.

In this talk, I will focus on a robust feature engineering method, Randomized Union of Locally Linear Subspaces (RULLS). We generate sparse, non-negative, and rotation invariant features in an unsupervised fashion. RULLS aggregates features from a random union of subspaces by describing each point using globally chosen landmarks. These landmarks serve as anchor points for choosing subspaces. Our method provides a way to select features that are relevant in the neighborhood around these chosen landmarks. Distances from each data point to k closest landmarks are encoded in the feature matrix. The final feature representation is a union of features from all chosen subspaces. The effectiveness of our algorithm is shown on various real-world datasets for tasks such as clustering and classification of raw data and in the presence of noise. We compare our method with existing feature generation methods. Results show a high performance of our method on both classification and clustering tasks.

    Abstract: Presented by Andy Terrel at Numfocus NumFOCUS currently represents 26 sponsored and 24 affiliated open scientific coding projects. Glancing at them from a distance, one might have to squint a bit to see a pattern emerge. In truth, the community doesn’t mind that at all, out of the variety comes innovation. Beyond the logos and stickers, what is this community actually doing? I present the various projects and argue that we have inadvertently created one of the most successful data science platforms in existence. From this vantage point, I pose some tough questions the community needs to answer: How can we present that platform more fully? How should we organize ourselves to make our work more valuable? How do we avoid a collapse of our communities?

    Abstract: Presented by John Peach, Sr Data Scientist at Amazon Alexa Science is facing a crisis around reproducibility and data science is not immune. Literate Statistical Programming is a workflow that binds the code used in an analysis to the interpretation of the results. While this creates reproducibility it also addresses issues around, auditing, re-usability and allows for rapid iteration and experimentation. This talk will describe a workflow that I have successfully used on small-scale data-sets in start-ups and on Amazon-scale problems in my work on Alexa. The talk will cover the tooling, workflow, and the philosophy you need to master Literate Statistical Programming.

    Abstract: Presented by Sangeeta Krishnan – Former Director, Enterprise Data Management & Strategy at Asembia Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the current buzz word across all industries. Marvin Minsky’s definition of AI describes it as the science of making machines do things that would normally require human intelligence. However, the opinions are split across two camps. On one side we hear about new AI gadgets getting introduced in the market that would empower and improve our lives. At the same time, there are stories of AI companies going bankrupt like the recent closure of AI powered clock – Bonjour. Any digital technology has its own risks such as Cyber Security, Data Privacy Protection, apart from protecting the interests and careers of the human workforce. When you attempt to transform data into answers, many questions erupt. AI is a combination of techniques that includes Data Analytics and Predictive Analytics. Many organizations start their Analytics and AI journey without implementing the discovery phase of defining clear achievable business values. This results in most of the R&D budget to evaporate in experimental pitfalls with no real gain, resulting in AI being non-productive. It is imperative for any organization to discuss and focus on certain fundamental areas and challenges before embarking on the AI journey. This presentation would give a detailed overview of the areas that need to be addressed for the AI journey to be successful beyond PoC (Proof of Concept). It would demystify AI from an implementation stand point and would cover multiple aspects to demonstrate the current capabilities of AI technologies. It would also put out a road map for the industries to have a smooth journey to the AI world. The presentation would discuss the entire spread of activities such as budgeting, risk mitigation, training and many more.

    Abstract: Presented by Diane Yu, CTO and Cofounder at FreeWheel, Comcast As the leading provider of financial and company data, Bloomberg has access to vast amounts of data on a daily basis. There are two common challenges when working directly with raw data. One is the need to discover and extract data represented in the natural document format that is not machine-readable. Another requirement is validating and ensuring that the data is of high-quality since it is required for building models for predictions, classifications, and various analytics tasks. This talk will cover ways in which data science and machine learning can be used to address these two challenges: (1) ingesting your data by extracting what is contained in natural document format and (2) cleaning your ingested data.

    Abstract: Presented by Sridharan Kamalakannan, Head of Data Science at Humana Predictive models are often used to identify individuals that will likely have escalating health severity in the future and accordingly deliver appropriate interventions. However, for the clinicians and care managers, these predictive models often act as a black-box at an individual level. The reason for this being, typically predictive models use combinations of complicated algorithms that makes it hard to explain the reason behind a predictive model score at an individual level. This talk will focus on model and feature agnostic methodologies and techniques that help uncover the drivers behind a prediction at a personal level in a healthcare setting.

    Abstract: Presented by Sylvia Tran, Data Scientist at Gracenote User preferences and content similarity are both key to recommendation systems. While content similarity has been widely explored and utilized by many companies in the media & entertainment industries, it still remains relevant as the amount of data and metadata available continues to grow and change. This talk discusses some of the challenges of content similarity and explores a few different attribute groups (aside from genre and cast) by which content similarity can be measured. Traditional attributes, like genre and cast alone, may not be as additive as they once were. More specifically, movies like Ted (starring Mark Wahlberg) and Shaun of the Dead do not neatly fit into a single genre. This talk also demonstrates how certain tried and true similarity metrics still yield meaningful and reasonably interpretable results for media & entertainment.

    Abstract: Presented by Hemalatha B Raju – Lead Data Scientist at Biorasi Running a clinical trial is always very complex. But with the implementation of machine learning we can significantly improve the efficiency of clinical trial development. Machine learning logic and algorithms can help us advance the patient selection process for clinical trials, improve the data quality, reduce the time and cost in the execution of clinical trials. for accurate predictions of outcomes using pattern recognition. Machine learning algorithms could be potentially applied to develop comprehensive risk-based monitoring tools, fraud detection pipeline, on-study analytics models and solutions for various clinical trials that alerts the clinical monitors and the pharmaceutical companies about the quality of clinical sites . Clinical data can also be reviewed at aggregate level regularly throughout assigned studies using analytical reporting tools to support the identification of risks and data trends. The rules-based logic could be used throughout the clinical trial studies to analyze the primary and secondary endpoints, required for the safety and efficacy analysis of the investigational drug and thus improve the efficiency of clinical trial studies.

    Abstract: Presented by Charles Alcorn – Head of Data Science at Roche Molecular Systems Oncology diagnostics and treatment is a rapidly changing field of medicine with new advancements announced almost daily. The number of diagnostic tests to select treatments based on a patient’s unique genetic mutations and tumor pathology characteristics has grown, as have the number of therapies available. These therapies can be matched to a patient’s likelihood to respond to treatment based on the results from diagnostic tests. Estimates indicate that Oncologists would have to read the literature continuously around the clock 365 days a year to maintain their knowledge of new diagnostic tests and treatments. Further, diagnostic testing and treatment as well as associated treatment guidelines vary by patient population and country. This talk will describe medical content management concepts for the field of Oncology including data architecture, data curation, adopting to differing-and-ever-changing treatment guidelines, capture of up-to-date regulatory information, and country-specific examples. The roadmap that we are developing to support Clinical Decision Support Software in a Global Marketplace for our products and services will be described.

    Abstract: Presented by Rhonda Textor, Head of Data Science at True Fit Recent advances in technology such as computer vision, deep learning, and recommender systems are being used to enable new shopping experiences. Examples include visual search, recommending similar items, and recommending items that other shoppers also viewed. However, technology alone without an understanding of shoppers, fashion, and retail falls short of solving shopping recommendation problems. We at True Fit believe that details matter, especially for modeling individual fashion preferences. Because of that, we have built the largest fashion and retail dataset called the Fashion Genome. In this talk, I will share some insights we have gained from the Fashion Genome that have influenced our approach to building fashion recommendation systems. I will also show how we leverage the fashion details of products, i.e., our Fashion Attributes, to combine fashion and technology to make great recommendations. Finally, I will share how we leverage our large dataset and cutting edge technology to enable personalized shopping experiences.

    Abstract: Presented by Anusua Trivedi, Sr Data Scientist Lead, AI for Good at Microsoft AI serves the purpose of enabling human beings in making better decisions. In this session, we talk about how the actions of AI are the result of the human inputs going into its programming. We talk about how an AI’s bias is not its own, but the human bias with which it has been programmed. We emphasize the choice of the right metric and the type of data used for testing and training to avoid such bias. We discuss the need to understand the dependence between the data used and the models employed and optimize only areas that matter. We discuss how to focus on feature engineering and be thoughtful about the ethics of ML applications. Other issues such as the need for regulations and other considerations within it that require deliberation are also touched upon.

    Abstract: Presented by Liang Wu, Machine Learning Data Scientist at Airbnb Choosing the correct optimization metric is key to success of a search engine. Unlike in traditional web searches, where clicks are clearly the main objective to optimize, many emerging vertical search engines like E-Commerce search may require a different optimization metric, such as conversions, revenue, and quality. Selection of a good metric may depend on the query type (transactional vs. navigational vs. informational) and also on the goal of a business (profitability vs. growth). For example, a typical product search engine may focus on maximizing the number of transactions and total revenue, while navigational search may aim at minimizing the total number of clicks. In this talk, we will investigate factors needed to be considered when we are in search for a good metric, and we will also walk through an example of designing an optimization metric for a particular business, including how it is selected, mathematically defined, and optimized with a machine learning framework.

    Abstract: Presented by Surya Gupta – Postdoctoral Researcher at VIB-UGent Mass-spectrometry based proteomics experiments produces large amounts of data. While typically acquired to answer specific biological questions, these data can also be reused in orthogonal ways to reveal biological knowledge. We have developed a novel method for such orthogonal data reuse of public proteomics data to detect biologically associated protein pairs. Mass-spectrometry proteomics experiments were obtained and reprocessed from the PRIDE database. For the identified proteins, we calculated the co-occurrence score, using Jaccard similarity. Protein pairs with score of atleast 0.4 were mapped to five knowledgebases; Reactome, Ensembl, IntAct, BioGRID, and CORUM, to assign potential biological relevance. Of the 2325 protein pairs that pass the Jaccard similarity threshold, we 81% of protein pairs with biological annotation (68% with five knowledgebases and 13% with GO terms). While comparison with randomly selected protein pairs, less than 2% protein pairs were found to be annotated. Furthermore, to extend the usability and accessibility of the detected protein pairs for research community, an online database called Tabloid Proteome was established. Our approach shows that by re-using publically available data in a fully orthogonal way, effectively treating these data as a proteome-wide association study, we can extract various biologically meaningful patterns, which moreover, were quite complementary to associations detected by established protein-protein interaction techniques. Additionally, Tabloid Proteome features a simple yet powerful web interface that allows fast and easy access to all these protein associations, with their possible biological annotation.

    Abstract: Presented by Julie Hollek, Sr Data Scientist at Twitter Data scientists are the people behind the scenes, helping others deliver better, smarter results in their daily work. This is especially true for product data scientists who must hone their craft to determine what things are working for a given product, where do we want to take it next, and how can we make product decisions aligned with company is trying to build? Cross-functional communications are critical to success in this role; you need to be able to craft a message that is born out of math to make compelling arguments that are digestible by stakeholders across the business. In this session, we’ll define Product Data Science and discuss contributing factors to success.

    Abstract: Presented by Jennifer Esteche, Machine Learning Research Engineer at Tryolabs Determining prices for retail products manually is an extremely time-consuming process and leads to neither cost-effective nor consistent pricing. In this talk, we will introduce you to the tremendous potential of machine learning for automated pricing. We will share our learnings from building a machine learning system able to determine prices based on product metadata and images, implemented by a large online consignment marketplace. As a result, the company prices more than half of the products in their catalog automatically. You will learn what kind of data is valuable for an automated pricing system, what machine learning models can be used, some major challenges in building an intelligent pricing system and how to overcome them. Further, we will explore opportunities on how retailers can use machine learning for optimizing their prices for revenue.

    Abstract: Presented by Michael Zelenetz – Analytics Project Leader at New York-Presbyterian Hospital Healthcare data is highly connected but often lives in silos. Graph databases are promising emerging technologies for working with highly connected data. This talk will introduce data scientists to Neo4j—the leading graph database—and will discuss a proof of concept implementation at New York Presbyterian and will demonstrate some of the network analyses we were able to do as a result. This talk will be developer/data scientist focused and will include code snippets. We will introduce the graph data model and loading data into the database. We will discuss the pros and cons of graph databases. We will finish off with some practical examples from out proof of concept including community detection algorithms, using centrality to find providers who may be spreading infections, and examining physician referral patterns. Participants will leave being able to describe a graph database. They should be able to identify situations that may benefit from implementing a graph database. Finally, they should be able to create a simple graph model.

    Abstract: Presented by Brittany Rockwell Researchers and financial practitioners alike are attempting to find meaningful applications for the newest advents in the field of natural language processing (NLP). Although language modelling for stock trading is not novel, the landscape has changed significantly in recent years. With the improvements of computational power, data storage and algorithmic efficiency, we have more data and modelling capacity at our disposal than ever before. A natural consequence of these changes is the exponential growth of available data. There is a growing need for automating the data exploration and identification process for low-latency downstream applications requiring timely forecasting or decision making. This talk will discuss some of the new advances in NLP and their relevance to text-driven trading.
