Architecting Analytic Warehouses for Analytics

This session answers architecture questions related to the overall structure and strategy for an enterprise analytics system. How do we design a data warehouse for analytics purposes? What do we integrate into a central warehouse or maintain in separate data marts? How do we integrate long term storage systems that we need to query only occasionally? How do we integrate real-time data streaming? What ETL and integration strategies and tools are we going to use? Where and how do we extend our raw data with calculated measures and analytic functions? How do we create a system that has a strong foundation, but can grow and evolve over time? This presentation will draw from real-world data architecture projects that were designed with analytics in mind. Included will be a discussion of considerations when designing for Autonomous Data Warehouses.

Defining an Analytics Strategy

Choices, choices, choices. How do you modernise your existing Oracle business intelligence, data warehouse and analytics platform. When, or even if, should you move to cloud, how do you establish data science capability in your organisation, how do you combine self service reporting with traditional enterprise BI, should you create a data lake, is Hadoop still a ‘thing’, how do you provide any type of governance, and most importantly once, you have decided what you want to do, how do you achieve it.

The Changing Role of DBA: From Database Developer to Data Scientist in 6 Weeks

DBAs spend time dealing with maintenance, security and outage issues with little time for innovation. Self-driving, self-securing and self-repairing Autonomous Databases free data professionals to leverage domain knowledge and data skills to extract more value from their data. Oracle Machine Learning, part of Autonomous Database, “moves the algorithms to the data” for in-database processing of machine learning algorithms that eliminate data movement. Now, the entire machine learning process: problem statement, data understanding and preparation, model building and evaluation, model apply and model deployment runs inside the Oracle Database. Database developers perform many supporting tasks today, typically 80% of the work, but refer to them as ETL, data wrangling, data transformations and productionizing scripts. Come learn how ADW, ATP and Oracle Machine Learning makes it easy for you to easily expand your valuable data skills and become “data scientists” in just 6 weeks!

Maps for Everyone with Oracle Analytics

Oracle Analytics Cloud and Oracle Analytics Desktop are amazingly powerful tools for understanding and visualizing your data - all sorts of data - in many different ways. Oracle Analytics lets you explore your data sets, apply various interactive visualizations, and create powerful narratives to present your findings.Maps are a type of visualization, like pie charts and histograms. This session will explain how you can use this capability. You will learn how to use the predefined maps included with Oracle Analytics to view your sales figures, dropped calls, employment statistics, or other business data.You will also learn how to create and use custom maps, using your own data sets such as sales territories, school districts, store locations. You can even use maps to visualize product placement inside your stores. We’ll also show how to use the Spatial Studio tool to prepare data from Oracle Database, and share new capabilities for correlating maps and business data.

Do What Comes Naturally: Natural Language Insights in OAC

Natural Language Generation (NLG) is a groundbreaking capability recently added to Oracle Analytics Cloud (OAC). Rather than leave a user to understand a visualization, OAC now offers the ability to generate a textual analysis of a dataset to identify trends and outliers. This session will cover how best to incorporate natural language into your data storytelling experience. In addition, configuring the Search Index options in the OAC Console will be covered, to enhance the experience of BI Ask, which enables impromptu visualizations from both voice and textual user guidance.

Planning my Summer Vacation using Python, Machine Learning and Oracle Cloud

I'm planning the family summer vacation. This year is going to be a little different. This year I'm going to use Python, Machine Learning and Oracle Cloud to plan the vacation. It will be a driving holiday in Scotland, but what places do we visit and in what order? Using details of local landmarks and family personal interest, Python and machine learning are used to identify different groupings of local landmarks matching those interests. Combining the outputs of the Python Machine Learning a driving route will be planned to optimise the number of landmarks to visit, where to stay and what else to visit and then saving the details to Oracle Cloud. Do one thing for me! Don't tell my family this is how our vacation is being planned.

Easy ML for everybody in OAC: how good is compared to hand-made code?

Augmented Analytics is the new buzzword. OAC offers access to ML techniques in few clicks. Not a single line of code has to be written: load a dataset, click through the screen to setup a ML model and few more clicks to train and apply it to any other dataset you could have. Machine Learning couldn't be as simple and easy of access as that. The easiest way to democratize ML. Anyone can do ML, without having to go through linear algebra, various theoretical concepts and code to implement it. But does it really work? Can something as accessible as that be as effective as machine learning done by code? Analysing the dataset, doing features engineering and finally training a model to be able to apply to new data later.This session will use the same exact dataset and compare how ML can be done in OAC and in Python (using an Apache Zeppelin or Jupyter notebook). The results of the ML model will be compared to see how the two methods compare in accuracy.

Security and Privacy for Big Data Analytics -- the good, the bad, and the ugly

Today everyone understands the high value of data insights - the “new gold” of 21st century. To deliver business insights we need to collect the data (from various heterogonies data sources), store it efficiently (usually in a Data Lake), and processed it fast (real time or historical trends). The four Vs of the data (volume, variety, velocity, and veracity) already present their own challenges, but the 5th V - value – is only possible if the data is properly secured and protected at every step of the way. Alternatively, the value will turn against us and instead of benefits the same valuable data could bring us serious troubles. This session will provide an overview of the global security and privacy requirements for data acquisition, storage, and processing, as well as the most common paths for achieving proper security posture for data and analytics. We will review some of the most common data exposures and share some hands-on experience in applying the security best practices.
