Television impacts our daily lives. It provides news, entertainment and education. And, with minute-by-minute information on TV ratings and multi-billion-euro income streams from advertising, it is a real Big Data decision problem that requires sophisticated Analytics. TV viewers must be predicted for each 30 second timeslot, normally days in advance, in order to schedule the right advertisement. However, viewership patterns vary by demographic of target audiences, from young adults to elderly couples and the affluent to the unemployed, across geo-regions from rainy North to sunny South, with TV programme schedules and weather driving viewership patterns over time. Without analytical methods, comply decisions quickly become inefficient. We present a case-study from a leading private UK TV channel where we employed analytics to support decision making.
Attendees will learn:
- How a time series approach helped to make sense of terabytes of data
- How to explore viewer behaviour using time series clustering in Descriptive Analytics
- How to forecast future viewers using k-nearest neighbours in Predictive Analytics
- How to optimise advertising scheduling across changing variance in Prescriptive Analytics

With a fundamental change in the assumptions underpinning a structured data world dominated by relational databases, we are entering the age of BigData. The combination of economic drivers in enterprise computing, the need to leverage semi-structured and unstructured Data, and the emergence of the Internet of Things (IOT), a dramatic shift in the Data landscape is taking place. The advent of Hadoop and the Open Source stack in this space have accelerated the changes to a point of confusion. Today’s data analyst faces a bewildering environment of technologies and challenges involving semi-structured and unstructured data with access methodologies that have almost no relation to the past. This talk will cover issues and challenges in how to make the benefits of advanced analytics fit within the application environment. The requirement for Real-time data streaming and in situ data mining is stronger than ever. We demonstrate how many of the critical problems remain open with much opportunity for innovative solutions to play a huge enabling role. This opportunity makes Data Science and several related fields critical to almost all future analytical tasks. The talk will include 3 case studies to show the challenges and the great opportunities for BigData and Predictive Analytics.

The Shell Lubricants Supply Chain (LSC) Analytics Team was formed with a global mandate to deliver value. Alex presents a series of case studies from the work of the LSC Analytics Team over the past two-years.
· Forecast Improvement: Forecast Accuracy is a Key Performance Indicator (KPI) for the supply chain. Accurately predicting future demand allow the supply chain to consistently supply customers without holding large amounts of stock to buffer unexpected demand. Improving the KPI was a significant change journey for Shell LSC.
· Customer Cross-Sell and Up-Sell: Working with a number of other Shell Analytics Teams the LSC Analytics Teams tacked the challenge of making appropriate cross-sell and up-sell recommendations based on customer sales – as well as how to cluster these customers.
· Pattern Recognition in Stock Holding: Tackling the issue of errors in stock management the team looked at computer pattern recognition within the time series. Detecting human errors as well as improving the time-to-opportunity ratio were key value drivers.

Predictive Analytics (PA) has become increasingly mature as a technical discipline over the past decade in part because it stands on the shoulders of the related disciplines of data mining and machine learning. However, there are recurring themes that permeate discussion boards and conferences that have become my personal pet peeves. This talk examines three of them and why they matter to practitioners, including why we must have humility in how far data science and algorithms can take us, and the value of business objectives, measuring "success," and measuring "significance."

Predictive Customer Interaction Beyond Attribution - Keep your friends Close but your Enemies Closer
The usual approach to improve targeted customer interaction is to analyze the converting part (e.g. a sale) of the past online traffic. Smart attribution is hugely important to evaluate the cost effectiveness of marketing campaigns and to optimize the media spending and budget mix. But attribution is per definition only focusing in the converting traffic and purely retrospective. Information of the major traffic share from none or better 'not yet' converting visitors is very much neglected. There are multiple communication/ interaction levels in the sales process and different marketing actions have different strength to capture certain level customers and transfer them from level to level. From transforming site visitor data into customer journeys of users to predicting the future behavior of these users and their next steps with time scales - this case study based on Dutch Online travel company BookIt.com will demonstrate how you can learn much more from the non-converts and use these insights in the predictions.

Lloyds Banking Group has over 20 million Personal Current Account (PCA) customers and vast amounts of data available for use in credit decisions. In the past there has been a reliance on ‘Expert Judgement’ to build characteristics which are used in modelling. As both the quantity and quality of data grows it is imperative to research new modelling techniques that effectively use all data to ensure the Bank makes the best decisions for our customers. Currently Lloyds uses a traditional logistic regression scorecard for PCA overdraft application decisions. These scorecards use characteristics derived from a number of data sources, however they are largely based on expert judgement and do not use the full extent of the data to build models, as a result the predictive power of the data is not fully exploited by these models.As both the quantity and quality of data has grown there are a number of sources of data that are underused, but easily accessible for making PCA credit decisions. One example is the Transactional data, this contains information on monetary transaction on accounts such as transfers, over the counter and point of sales. This data contains thousands of variables over a hierarchy that is completely unsuitable to feed raw into the traditional statistical methods.Here we present two approaches using evolutionary algorithms to mine these previously unwieldy quantities of data to find which characteristics add most incremental power to the model. One based on Genetic Algorithms creates a library of characteristics based on the raw variables before selecting a subset for use in logistic regression models. The second method uses Genetic Programming to evolve the characteristics from the raw data in a method that can be used both to create new characteristics and as a stand-alone predictive model.The predictive power of both is compared to the traditional scorecard to show the improvement both in terms of discriminatory power and business benefit.

Instead of relying on the typical gut-feel, basic descriptive plots in Excel, or Google Analytics and Google Adwords descriptive analytics, iProspect Greece set out on a project to develop a rigorous predictive/prescriptive analytics solution utilizing traditional statistical techniques, including Regression analysis with automatic model selection based on the quality of fit and ANOVA (Analysis of variance with multiple comparisons and post-hoc hypothesis testing) as well as novel approaches including non-parametric, non-linear regression analysis using machine learning algorithms, all implemented in Python and R. The implemented analytics solution, although at its early stages, has already delivered a series of benefits, including an increase in the accuracy of KPI prediction between 40% and 80% for certain cases, huge reductions in the time required to analyse a campaign – from days to hours per analyst, an almost immediate response time to a client wanting to understand how their digital campaigns are performing and why. A pilot study for Allianz Direct achieved a 90% predictive accuracy on Google Adwords campaigns, driving conversions and subsequently finetuning their marketing strategy and budget, increasing ROI by 25%. In this session Michael Georgakopoulos will present how the implemented solution has since been applied across multiple major accounts in Insurance, FMCGs and Retail.

Successful Internet commerce sites have tens of thousands of unique daily visitors, creating large quantities of noisy traffic data. In the midst of this data are insights about customer behaviour and journeys that can help form commercial strategies, marketing decisions and data driven decision making, however deriving these insights can be a complex process. Sophisticated statistical predictive analytics techniques are required to indicate when there are subtle changes in the traffic data which can be acted upon. Using time series, textual analysis and statistical techniques, changes in customer profile traffic data can be isolated to give a daily or weekly detailed snapshot of the underlying customer behaviour prompting these changes.

In a world of big data, organizations and consultants argue rightfully that more data is almost always better than less, and that successful organizations must find ways to collect and process big data to become more competitive. But is big data enough? If we collect enough data, do we naturally build better predictive models? Do we still need domain experts or should the data speak for us? If big data generates more hype than return on investment, what does it do beyond force us to spend ever increasing amounts of money to store let alone process the data. Fortunately, there are key ways big data can be leveraged using predictive analytics. More data means we can ask different questions from the data than we ever could with smaller data. It means we can be more sure that the patterns we are finding are stable and true. Mr. Abbott will describe approaches to leveraging big data with predictive analytics by selecting the right hardware infrastructure, software infrastructure, and business objectives. Examples will be provided based on recent advances in retail customer intelligence and cloud computing.

The data landscape of a global market research company like GfK is incredibly valuable and challenging at the same time. But the more data GfK collects or observes, and the more heterogeneous this data is, the more challenging it has become to keep transparency about data assets and to make the data easily accessible. so GfK decided to transfer the data into a global Data Lake – an integrated repository for all kinds of structured and unstructured data coupled with a sophisticated Big Data Analysis platform. In this presentation Ralph Wirth and Anna Machens will illustrate based on real client questions: (1) how integrated predictive modeling – i.e., the development of predictive models using information from different data sources as predictors – can lead to significantly improved model performance, (2) how exactly the challenge of efficiently leveraging a data basis which seems overwhelming at first sight can be approached, and (3) how the approach of developing predictive models changes significantly if Data Scientists have the possibility to utilize the flexibility of Data Lake architectures and Big Data tools. Real-life case studies that will be presented including predictive models for leading coffee brands, which make use of information from numerous different data sources, such as past sales of coffee (Consumer Panels), sales of coffee machines (from retail panels), social media, brand tracker and advertising tracker KPIs, as well as external data, such as weather, regional holiday density, or external shocks. Furthermore Ralph and Anna will give insights into the toolbox that they identified as most useful.

The existing team based in Geneva serves a critical role in directing the organization’s efforts to improve hotel supply breadth and quality for the entire Expedia Inc. One of Expedia's goals is to acquire hotels that will produce. Sandro will show how Expedia uses Predictive Analytics algorithms to prioritize acquisitions. Contracted hotel data is leveraged and a model to predict the dollar value of hotels around the World is build. Regression problems are solved by using ensemble learning, through the Gradient Boosting Machine algorithm. Implemented in R, the prediction is based on data such as room capacity, star rating, latitude/longitude and TripAdvisor reviews. Sandro will describe the overall project, including data collection/processing, model tuning and current challenges.

The Belgian Social Security Institution is a federal agency that registers and monitors every active company in Belgium, and is responsible for the collection of employer and employee tax contributions. The taxes are levied on employer level, making this process highly sensitive to fraud. One of the main analytical techniques used to spread fraud through a network, are the so-called collective inference (CI) techniques. Here, one assumes that the label of a node in the network depends on the label of the neighboring nodes. Although CI is proven very useful, it can be easily mislead. A wrongful estimate of one node’s label (e.g., a true legitimate node is classified as fraudulent) might further impact the network and misclassify all other nodes in the neighborhood. In this presentation, we will discuss how (1) active inference – a subdomain of active learning for data analytics – is able to improve CI algorithms by selecting a set of uncertain nodes in the network to be labeled by inspectors, and (2) given that fraud networks are highly adaptive and evolve over time, we temporally integrate an inspector’s decision, knowing that this decision does not necessarily hold in the near future.

The increasingly data-driven challenges of modern drug discovery require advanced computational and analytical techniques. However, the breadth and depth of skills required, and the unevenness in the demand for them, makes the overhead of full in-house provision impractical and uneconomic. This is the inside story of how GSK and Tessella, working together, are exploiting the flexibility and speed of a managed specialist analytics services model to meet this challenge. Examples illustrate the breadth of skills ranging from unsupervised machine learning and bayesian statistics through to signal processing and radar tracking that are needed to address novel analytics problems facing computational chemistry, biology, bioelectronics and advanced manufacturing. This ability to rapidly initiate multiple small and mid-size analytics initiatives is of immense practical importance in R&D, not a nice to have.

Anomaly detection has utility in many industries, and its potential to save costs and risk is huge when applied to maintenance prediction. But widespread sharing of techniques for predicting major episodes without a classic pattern of historical data has been limited by the lack of public data. In this paper, we use new, publicly available IOT data from motor sensors along with a variety of techniques to create predictive models. We also explore the effectiveness of Image Mining to further enhance our models. A roadmap for use on ANY type of sensor or IOT data that can be fast Fourier transformed is also discussed. As always, all examples are available and based on public data and employ a modern, open source (and free) platform so that everyone can benefit from our work.

For Google to determine which URL has to be attributed to which language region and /or country you need the hreflang attribute. You use hreflang=“it“ if a site should be attributed to Italy and hreflang=“x-default“, if the English speaking version is the version that should be attributed for all languages and countries. So far so good. The devil though, is in the detail. Wrong labeling, language, and country abbreviations add up to the wrong combination of hreflang and Canonical Tags.

Big Data has become a blessing and a curse at the same time. Most companies are collecting more data than ever before, but what’s the point if you’re generating a data tsunami instead of usable insights? With the sheer amount of information available to both brands and consumers today, using data to make strategic decisions should be happening all around us - whether you’re a brand trying to learn about consumers and target appropriately, or a retailer looking for the next hot seller. But how can you collect, integrate and visualize these enormous amounts of data in a way that make sense? How does a brand learn about and target consumers while adding value rather than burdening or bombarding them? Marc Preusche will show you, what needs to happen before the analysis in order to have structure rather than chaos and Erika Ammerman, adidas Global Consumer Analytics, explains how adidas is working to make sense of it all, and keep the consumer – not the software or even the metric – centre stage.

The increasing trend for large scale sites is to build websites with several services. A blog that runs on WordPress, a main site that runs on something else, an eCommerce section on yet another platform. This requires a service oriented approach (from SEOs) in terms of providing related content, on-site search, XML sitemaps, hreflang tags etc. But it also requires different tools for analysis. How can you see what Google crawls, what goes wrong? And how do you manage the complexity of it all? Come to this session and learn how to bring method to the madness.

Combining TV tracking and AdWord campaigns is daily business for companies with big media budgets. But second screen AdWord campaigns are really interesting for a much broader group of advertisers (who don’t even run TV ads). Being in the right place at the right time with the right message/offer is much more effective especially if you can piggyback on the success of a TV campaign. Andreas Hörr will present examples of where we are today with TV tracking and he will show you the high potential opportunities when using TV ads that are not your own, as well as ads from suppliers and partners. He will also discuss how combining TV tracking and AdWord campaigns may help advertisers distribute some of their ad spend to suppliers.

In the past months, Google has again explicitly confirmed that links are very important. Also Yandex, the Russian Search Engine, has reintroduced links as a ranking factor after experimenting their ranking algorithm with no links for some commercial queries in Moscow. The Penguin Update was probably the most famous and most important Google Update when it comes to links.
But is that all? No! Google has also developed, but in the hectic everyday life, one may overlook important changes. This presentation brings you closer to seven important aspects or changes concerning links and redirects. Things that are important for your SEO.

Marketing tactics are blurred more than ever. Social channels are actually big display networks and SEO can be purchased with sponsored content which search engines somehow index. Marketers run cutthroat search PPC campaigns to curated social audiences and retarget filtered by financial qualification, intent data and other psychographics.

In other words, It's an AWESOME time to be a marketer! Are YOU ready to take the challenge?

In October 2015 Google launched a project known as Accelerated Mobile Pages or AMP. In typical Google style, a bland name hides something that potentially will revolutionize loading times if enough media companies support it. Google is addressing this issue because speed remains to be one of the biggest mobile challenges. Even when the user found what he was looking for, data retrieval on a mobile phone takes significantly longer than we are accustomed to on a desktop PC. This is especially true when you are dealing with videos or images. It doesn’t take long for users to become frustrated and give up (and check out your competitor with the speedy mobile friendly site). You need to avoid „"click disappointment“ and you can by providing websites that load quickly. In this session will focus on speed for mobile performance optimization We will also discuss first results of the AMP project and which new options they present for the online marketer.

Did you have a good show? Great! After two days of thought leadership, meaningful insights and tactical tips, you’ll be sure to have your own list of top takeaways, favorite speakers and sessions. Of course, you couldn’t attend every session – but have no fear! In this session you’ll hear from our moderators what they found most valuable, as we recap the best information from the show and give you their opinion on how to prioritize the take aways.
