Web-based v. Native Apps - Critical Considerations

WATCH PRESENTATION
It’s not hard to understand the interest in mobile technology: Gartner estimates that there will be 1.4 billion users of location based services by the end of 2014 and mobile technology end user spending is expected to approach $16 billion this year alone. In this field, there is a growing debate regarding the merits of tried-and-true native apps found in Apps Stores and the flexibility and speed to market of web-based apps developed in HTML5.

In this multi-faceted session, representatives from Maven Wave Partners and Google will share practical, real-world experiences in mobile development along with a look at new technologies that promise to transform the mobile world.

Blog Sentiment Analysis Using NoSQL Analytical Techniques

WATCH PRESENTATION
With the advent of social media, a new venue has been made available to express one's thoughts and feelings about the world around us. Corporations are increasingly moving to mine this form of expression to learn more about what their customers are saying about their products and their company. The problem presents unique challenges as unstructured content needs analytic techniques that involve taking words and associating quantitative metrics with them to interpret the sentiment embodies in them - suggesting the use of Not Only SQL methods.

This presentation covers a case study involving the analysis of blog posts using both MapReduce and the Python Natural Language Toolkit, in combination with SQL analytics in an EMC Greenplum Database, using sparse vectors and k-means clustering algorithms to identify centroids of sentiments in the posts. It is meant to be an introduction to some of the general techniques that can be used to tackle such problems. The attendee can expect to hear how MapReduce and SQL can be used to:
  • Access text in blog posts
  • Parse the text into word lists
  • Create histograms of word frequencies
  • Transform blog terms into statistically meaningful measures
  • Derive blog clusters around iteratively defined clusters
  • Infer sentiment from the resulting clusters of blog posts
