Embrace Complexity: Building Your Organisation’s Knowledge Graph

A powerful idea has been slowly building for many years now, originally known as the Semantic Web, and then later as Linked Data. This idea has finally come of age with the emergence of Knowledge Graphs. These technological networks allow an organisation to release the ‘free energy’ bound up in the chaotic jumble of databases […]

Beyond the tool: addressing cultural and technical challenges in product experimentation

The success of an experimentation programme depends upon its cultural adoption within the business. With commoditised tools on the market that lower both software and statistical barriers to randomised controlled testing, organisations have the opportunity to democratise experimentation and continuously iterate towards their north star. This talk addresses two key questions that stretch an organisation […]

Leveraging AI to create healthier and safer online communities

Every person who goes online will sooner or later deal with content or behaviour that can be harmful or unhealthy. Think scams, misinformation, bullying or even worse, child sexual abusive material, grooming, radicalisation or (s)extortion. This talk will explain the different components needed to tackle harmful content, why adversarial behaviour ensure this problem is always […]

The Subtle Art of Fixing Silently Failing ML Models

Hosted by Niclas Thomas. The largest issue ML teams face is due to AI models that silently fail. Silent failure occurs when model performance gradually degrades over time without showing any apparent signs of failure. These signs are therefore difficult to catch in time, usually leading to sudden or abrupt drops in performance after the […]

DXS: the metric for Digital Experience

While traditional web analytics tools analyse customer experience on websites by tracking metrics such as visited pages or time spent on website, at Decibel we aggregate those simple metrics (plus others) to surface specific behaviours within the user activity. On top of these behaviours we then built more advanced features which describe the Customer Experience […]

The Frequency Domain And How It Can Be Used To Aid Artificial Intelligence

Machine Learning (ML) and in particular Deep Learning (DL) require huge numbers of MIPS to implement the training and classification processes required of modern Edge AI applications. All of this comes at a cost of MIPS , power consumption and silicon cost. The frequency domain and, in particular, the Fourier Transform can be used to […]

Building an Automated Analytics System

The talk will be a deep dive on some of the technology Tom’s used to build a system that runs funnel and spend analysis without any prior knowledge of the data. There’s some novel data science being done using techniques which aren’t so popular that he thinks are really valuable.
