CROSS-INDUSTRY APPLICATIONS
Predictive Analytics World is the only conference of its kind, delivering vendor-neutral sessions across
verticals such as banking, financial services, e-commerce, education, government, healthcare, high
technology, insurance, non-profits, publishing, social gaming, retail and telecommunications
And PAW covers the gamut of commercial applications of predictive analytics, including response
modeling, customer retention with churn modeling, product recommendations, fraud detection, online
marketing optimization, human resource decision-making, law enforcement, sales forecasting, and
credit scoring.
Why bring together such a wide range of endeavors? No matter how you use predictive analytics, the
story is the same: Predicatively scoring customers optimizes business performance. Predictive analytics
initiatives across industries leverage the same core predictive modeling technology, share similar project
overhead and data requirements, and face common process challenges and analytical hurdles.

Is Random Poetry Click Fraud
Is poetry when randomized
Tweaked, meta tagged , search engine optimized
Violative of unseen terms and conditional clauses
Is random poetry or aggregated prose farmed for click fraud uses
I dont know, you tell me, says the blog boy,
Tapping away at the keyboard like a shiny new toy,
Geeks unfortunately too often are men too many,
Forgive the generalization, but the tech world is yet to be equalized.
If a New York Hot Dog is a slice of heaven at four bucks a piece
Then why is prose and poetry at five bucks an hour considered waste
Ah I see, you have grown old and cynical,
Of the numerous stupid internet capers and cyber ways
The clicking finger clicks on
swiftly but mostly delightfully virally moves on
While people collect its trails and
ponder its aggregated merry ways
All people are equal but all links are not,
Thus overturning two centuries of psychology had you been better taught,
But you chose to drop out of school, and create that search engine so big
It is now a fraud catchers head ache that millions try to search engine optimize and rig
Once again, people are different, in so many ways so prettier
Links are the same hyper linked code number five or earlier
People think like artificial artificial (thus natural) neural nets
Biochemically enhanced Harmonically possessed.
rather than analyze forensically and quite creepily
where people have been
Gentic Algorithms need some chaos
To see what till now hasnt been seen.
Again this was a random poem,
inspired by a random link that someone clicked
To get here, on a carbon burning cyber machine,
Having digested poem, moves on, unheard , unseen.

Data Visualization: Central Banks
Trying to compare the transparency of central banks via the data visualization of two very different central banks.
One is Reserve Bank of India and the other is Federal Reserve Bank of New York
Here are some points-
1) The federal bank gives you a huge clutter of charts to choose from and sometimes gives you very difficult to understand charts.
see http://www.newyorkfed.org/research/global_economy/usecon_charts.html
and http://www.newyorkfed.org/research/directors_charts/us18chart.pdf
2) The Reserve bank of India choose Business Objects and gives you a proper drilldown kind of graph and tables. ( thats a lot of heavy metal and iron ore China needs from India 😉 😉

You can see the screenshots of the various visualization tools of the New York Fed Reserve Bank and Indian Reserve Bank- if the US Fed is serious about cutting the debt maybe it should start publishing better visuals

Stuxnet DeMystified
A fascinating article in New York Times details the fascinating details of the Stuxnet virus, apparently the most successful cyber weapon in recent times.
Given that Industrial Controllers are a part of a everything from factories to missile launch configurations, I believe this is a fascinating area of study for the world’s research scientists including creating variants and defenses for this.

Also a 2008 presentation by Siemens that the NYT was kind enough to link to- (whither Wikileaks ??)
