BI Compliance: Can a Restructure Deliver Enhanced Data Privacy?

Every data-driven business is terrified of the prospect of a data breach. Exposing sensitive data could mean reputational damage, loss of clients, and heavy fines under emerging privacy laws. But every data-driven business also wants to make use of its data. Business intelligence (BI) platforms allow anyone to build complex and detailed dashboards that help them understand the organization’s current state. How do you resolve this tension? One approach is to build a privacy-first data structure.

ELT: Easy to Deploy, Easy to Outgrow

Extract, load, transform (ELT) technology is a type of data pipeline that ingests data from one or more sources, loads the data into its destination (typically a data lake), and then allows end-users to perform ad-hoc transformations on it as needed. ELT can perform mass extraction of all data types, including raw data, without the need to set up transformation rules and filters before data loading.

Fast Forward Live: Session-based Recommender Systems

Join us live with Fast Forward Labs to discuss the recently possible in Machine Learning and AI. Being able to recommend an item of interest to a user (based on their past preferences) is a highly relevant problem in practice. A key trend over the past few years has been session-based recommendation algorithms that provide recommendations solely based on a user’s interactions in an ongoing session, and which do not require the existence of user profiles or their entire historical preferences. This report explores a simple, yet powerful, NLP-based approach (word2vec) to recommend a next item to a user. While NLP-based approaches are generally employed for linguistic tasks, here we exploit them to learn the structure induced by a user’s behavior or an item’s nature.
