Four Eras of Analytics
Location: Ballroom
Introduction by: Ned Carroll
Speaker: Tom Davenport
Many economists have all but ceded many middle and lower-skill jobs to automation, but high-end knowledge workers have always been deemed safe from automation-driven job loss. The rise of analytics and other decision-oriented technologies, however, is beginning to put those roles at risk as well. In this presentation Tom Davenport will describe which types of jobs are most at risk, and over what timeframe potential disruptions in knowledge work might take place. Most importantly, he will argue that there are ways that knowledge workers can make it likely that their work is augmented by technology rather than fully automated by it.

Healthcare Analtics – Reduction of Hospital Readmission
Location: The Great Room II
Speakers: Zbigniew W. Ras, PhD, David Olaleye
The projection of the growth rate in healthcare spending in the US is 5.8 percent during the period 2014-2024, which means that the spending will rise to 5.4 trillion by 2024. Analyzing the reasons behind readmissions to hospitals and reducing them can save a great amount of money. A hospital readmission is defined as a hospitalization of the patient after being discharged from the hospital. Our recommender system for the reduction of readmissions to hospitals is based on healthcare personalization and actionable knowledge mining of Florida State Inpatient Databases (SID) that contain records of more than 7.8 million visit discharges from over 3.6 million patients treated in several hospitals in the Florida State.

Break Out Sessions III
Analytics Practice – Cultural, Policy and Privacy Issues Surrounding Analytics
Location: Salon 2
Speaker: Bill Franks
Getting the facts right should be all that matters. Unfortunately, it isn’t that easy. In addition to the analytics themselves, it is necessary to also take into account other factors. Culture and politics can have a huge impact on how analytics are adopted, implemented, and pursued. So can laws and regulations. Both of those come together in the hotly debated area of privacy. This talk will discuss some specific issues that often arise and how to address them.
Data Visualization – The Science of Data Visualization
Location: The Den
Speaker: Nick Beaton
Humans can see visual patterns very well, but only when the patterns really play to a human’s strengths. This presentation is intended to take a look at how humans interpret visual information and ways in which information is presented in the modern world. We’ll take a look at “pre-attentive attributes”, which allow humans to process information almost instantly. Finally, we’ll dive into data visualization best practices and how to visually convey information so an audience can quickly grasp what’s meaningful.
