Tim O’Reilly on Humans, Machines and Data at Stanford

Sticky Post By On 2013/03/12

Tim O’Reilly uses examples from Google’s autonomous Vehicle project to highlight the developing changes and interactions in the relationship between humans, machines and data (human-machine symbiosis).

How can it be that during the DARPA Grand Challenge an autonomous car drove 7 miles in 7 hours and 6 years later Google autonomous Vehicle drove 100 000 miles?

Peter Norvig, Chief Scientist, of Google has an explanation: “We don’t have better algorithms. We just have more data.”
The data was the Google street-view vehicle. The data came from humans who drove with the Google street-view cars the roads, equipped with detailed sensors which measured, photographed and collected all the data. The data was stored in the cloud and made available to the Google autonomous Vehicle. This is an example for rethinking human-machine symbiosis.

All this data makes the Google autonomous Vehicle project just possible. It is a fairly hard AI problem to pic a traffic light out of a video stream. It is a trivial AI problem to figure out if it is red or green if you already know it is there.

So, what’s new?

The example of Birst and GoodData shows BI’s future is in the cloud. So far all cloud solution have to live with a hybrid of deployed in the cloud or in an on-premises appliance. Birst success in winning deals is based on its functional breadth, depth and strength, ease of use and low cost of ownership value proposition. This makes Birst the “new darling” of the Magic Quadrant.

“Increasingly, Gartner sees more organizations building diagnostic analytics that leverage critical capabilities, such as interactive visualization, to enable users to drill more easily into the data to discover new insights. For example, visual patterns uncovered in the data might expose an inconsistent supply chain process that is the root cause of an organization’s ability to consistently reach its goal for on-time delivery.”

“If there were a single market theme in 2012, it would be that data discovery became a mainstream architecture. For years, data discovery vendors — such as QlikTech, Salient Management Company, Tableau Software and Tibco Spotfire — received more positive feedback than vendors offering OLAP cube and semantic-layer-based architectures.”

Featured companies:
Actuate; Alteryx, Birst, Bitam, Board International, GoodData, IBM, Information Builders, Jaspersoft, LogiXML, Microsoft, MicroStrategy, Oracle, Panorama Software, Pentaho, Prognoz, QlikTech, Salient Management Company, SAP, SAS, Tableau Software, Targit, Tibco Spotfire

Other Vendors to Consider:
1010data, Advizor Solutions, Altosoft, Dimensional Insight, eQ Technologic, InetSoft, JackBe, Jedox, myDials/Adaptive Planning, Phocas, SpagoBI, Strategy Companion, Yellowfin

Ben Horowitz Co-Founder of Andreessen Horowitz about his Investment Strategies

Sticky Post By On 2013/02/20

Ben Horowitz revails some of his investment strategies during his lecture at UC Berkeleys College of Engineering’s Center for Entrepreneurship.

What Ben Horowitz is looking at investments:

  1. The size of the opportunity – you need to get 30% to 40% of the market to meaningfull and to make money in technology.
  2. The quality of the team – is the team good enough to build a great product that is ten-times better and take the market.
  3. A bad market always beat a good team.

What Ben Horowitz likes to have in his investments:

  • Megalomaniacs
  • Outliers
  • Shifts in technology or markets
  • Market sectors that are dead – big market, a winner, bad product; this is a opportunity
  • Entrepreneurs that tilt towards big markets and not a niche
  • Hard core technical team
  • Products then teams rather than vice versa

What Ben Horowitz believes to be the biggest challenges for entrepreneurs:

  • Being both entrepreneur and inventor
  • Finding product/market fit
  • Managing their own psychology

SmartCamp Winner Spotlight: Streetlight Data

Sticky Post By On 2013/02/05

StreetLight Data describes how people use their city. What web analytics does for e-commerce, we do for in-store commerce. We provide metrics like: for this corner on a typical Tuesday afternoon, what percent of people coming by are over 40? Make less than $60k/year? How many are going shopping? For the retail ecosystem this means answering questions that have never before been answered: Who is coming by my store and NOT coming in? We also open up insights that can radically improve transportation and urban planning. Our solutions depend on our Route Science(TM) engine, which puts messy transportation data in context, leveraging archival data exhaust from the location-based services industry.
