Data Analytics and Industry-Academic Partnerships: An Irish Perspective
Case studies: finding
insights in business data
1.  Finding expertise and content
2.  Holistic energy management
3.  AYLIEN text analytics
4.  Social analytics for
recommendation and
communities
•  Saffron (saffron.deri.ie) extracts knowledge from text,
with business applications in expert finding,
community detection, recommender systems, and
enterprise search, e.g.:
1.  Ecommerce system with Kennys Bookshop to
analyse book descriptions and reviews to extract a
fine-grained book topic categorisation for use in
book recommendation to customers
2.  EnRG entity relatedness for applications in
semantic search (EnRG is built over a large matrix
on Wikipedia and using the DBpedia ontology)
1. Expertise and content

Data Analytics and Industry-Academic Partnerships: An Irish Perspective
2. Holistic energy
management
Managing energy related to:
•  Office IT
•  Data centres
•  Facilities
•  Business travel
•  Daily commutes
Keep in mind business context:
•  Energy expended
•  Finances required
•  Resource allocation
•  Human resources
•  Asset management
Making smart buildings smarter
(have air conditioning at CO2 peaks)
Energy management software can be
unintuitive/difficult to use
We can do better!
More challenges
•  Technology and data
interoperability: data
scattered among different
systems, multiple
incompatible technologies
make it difficult to use
•  Interpreting dynamic and
static data: sensors, ERP,
BMS, assets databases
•  Need to proactively identify
efficiency opportunities
•  Empowering actions and
including users in the loop
•  Understanding of direct
and indirect impacts of
activities
•  Embedding impacts
within business
processes
•  Engaging users

3. AYLIEN text analytics
•  AYLIEN is based in Dublin, backed by SOS Ventures
•  7 employees, started as B2C, switched to B2B in
2014
•  Vision to “extract reality from data” (information
retrieval domain)
•  Research collaboration with NUI Galway through
John (sentiment analysis on large-scale social media)
•  http://bresl.in/aylientechcrunch
Text Analysis API (TAA)
●  A package of easy-to-use
tools for extracting information
and insights from any text
●  Language detection
●  Supported Languages (EN, DE,
PT, ES, IT, FR)
●  168 customers
●  Academic, ad intelligence and
brand protection, sentiment
analysis/opinion mining, PR and
media, CRMs, education,
psychology/interest graph
●  Endpoints:
o  Extraction
o  Classification
o  Summarisation
o  Concept/entity extraction
o  Hashtag suggestion
o  Sentiment analysis
How is TAA used?
o  Three major methods for deploying text analytics
services: API (via the “cloud”), on-premises
deployments, other integrations
o  TAA is mainly provided using an API/subscription
model (monthly) via Mashape or 3scale
o  Additional integrations with Google Spreadsheets
and other platforms (Telerik, Azuqua)
o  In future: on-premises deployment, subscription
(yearly), custom solutions (bespoke)
Under the TAA hood…
•  Based on Machine Learning (ML)
techniques (supervised,
unsupervised and semi-supervised)
•  Extraction: useful for scraping text,
media and metadata from web pages
•  Annotate text, media and metadata in a
training set
•  Extract a set of heuristic rules and use
them to extract text, media and metadata
•  Summarisation: Extracting n-best key
sentences from a document, based
on heuristics and a sentence
similarity matrix (initially), learning
over time
•  Classification and document-level
sentiment analysis: assigning a label
to any piece of text (“sports”,
“technology”, “positive”, “negative”)
•  Create word vectors from an annotated
dataset
•  Train a classifier, use it to predict future
classes for a new instance
•  Similar to a spam filter
•  Concept extraction: Find what is
mentioned in a document and
disambiguate them based on
contextual clues e.g. Apple is
mentioned, how do we find out if it’s
the fruit or the company?
TAA market (SMEs)

  • 15. 1 = 10bytes 18 exabyte 6 ! hours But, we now create this much information every
  • 16. 1 = 10bytes 18 exabyte Volume. Velocity. Variation. +Veracity.
  • 21. FROM PATTERNS TO PREDICTIONS From simple inertial sensing… … to longitudinal gait analysis. Detecting gait-cycle
 deviations ⇒ falls prediction Predicting functional decline.
  • 23. TURNING DATA INTO DECISIONS Using sensor data to 
 optimise forestry resources 
 during harvesting. Stem volume prediction, yield management etc. Remote sensing + autonomous cutter control.
  • 24. TURNING DATA INTO KNOWLEDGE Creating a network of knowledge. Data ⇒ Semantics Semantics ⇒ Discovery e.g. discovering links 
 between drugs, genes, 
 and diseases.

  • 32. Case studies: finding insights in business data 1.  Finding expertise and content 2.  Holistic energy management 3.  AYLIEN text analytics 4.  Social analytics for recommendation and communities
  • 33. •  Saffron (saffron.deri.ie) extracts knowledge from text, with business applications in expert finding, community detection, recommender systems, and enterprise search, e.g.: 1.  Ecommerce system with Kennys Bookshop to analyse book descriptions and reviews to extract a fine-grained book topic categorisation for use in book recommendation to customers 2.  EnRG entity relatedness for applications in semantic search (EnRG is built over a large matrix on Wikipedia and using the DBpedia ontology) 1. Expertise and content
  • 38. 2. Holistic energy management Managing energy related to: •  Office IT •  Data centres •  Facilities •  Business travel •  Daily commutes Keep in mind business context: •  Energy expended •  Finances required •  Resource allocation •  Human resources •  Asset management
  • 39. Making smart buildings smarter (have air conditioning at CO2 peaks)
  • 40. Energy management software can be unintuitive/difficult to use
  • 41. We can do better!
  • 42. More challenges •  Technology and data interoperability: data scattered among different systems, multiple incompatible technologies make it difficult to use •  Interpreting dynamic and static data: sensors, ERP, BMS, assets databases •  Need to proactively identify efficiency opportunities •  Empowering actions and including users in the loop •  Understanding of direct and indirect impacts of activities •  Embedding impacts within business processes •  Engaging users
  • 43.

  • 48. Text Analysis API (TAA) ●  A package of easy-to-use tools for extracting information and insights from any text ●  Language detection ●  Supported Languages (EN, DE, PT, ES, IT, FR) ●  168 customers ●  Academic, ad intelligence and brand protection, sentiment analysis/opinion mining, PR and media, CRMs, education, psychology/interest graph ●  Endpoints: o  Extraction o  Classification o  Summarisation o  Concept/entity extraction o  Hashtag suggestion o  Sentiment analysis
  • 49. How is TAA used? o  Three major methods for deploying text analytics services: API (via the “cloud”), on-premises deployments, other integrations o  TAA is mainly provided using an API/subscription model (monthly) via Mashape or 3scale o  Additional integrations with Google Spreadsheets and other platforms (Telerik, Azuqua) o  In future: on-premises deployment, subscription (yearly), custom solutions (bespoke)
  • 50. Under the TAA hood… •  Based on Machine Learning (ML) techniques (supervised, unsupervised and semi-supervised) •  Extraction: useful for scraping text, media and metadata from web pages •  Annotate text, media and metadata in a training set •  Extract a set of heuristic rules and use them to extract text, media and metadata •  Summarisation: Extracting n-best key sentences from a document, based on heuristics and a sentence similarity matrix (initially), learning over time •  Classification and document-level sentiment analysis: assigning a label to any piece of text (“sports”, “technology”, “positive”, “negative”) •  Create word vectors from an annotated dataset •  Train a classifier, use it to predict future classes for a new instance •  Similar to a spam filter •  Concept extraction: Find what is mentioned in a document and disambiguate them based on contextual clues e.g. Apple is mentioned, how do we find out if it’s the fruit or the company?
  • 51. TAA market (SMEs) Segments: SMEs, enterprises Size: “many times the $2bn forecast” US, UK, Germany, Spain, India See “Text Analytics 2014: User Perspectives on Solutions and Providers” Market: natural language processing [related markets: machine learning, text mining] SME segment: AlchemyAPI, Semantria (Lexalytics), Textalytics, Fluxifi Enterprise segment: SAS, IBM, Lexalytics Main target: SMEs Differentiators: feature-richness, quality, price, progression http://www.programmableweb.com/news/ how-5-natural-language-processing-apis- stack/analysis/2014/07/28
