  • Master Data Management Whitepaper.Indd
    Creating a Master Data Environment An Incremental Roadmap for Public Sector Organizations Master Data Management (MDM) is the processes and technologies used to create and maintain consistent and accurate representations of master data. Movements toward modularity, service orientation, and SaaS make Master Data Management a critical issue. Master Data Management leverages both tools and processes that enable the linkage of critical data through a unifi ed platform that provides a common point of reference. When properly done, MDM streamlines data management and sharing across the enterprise among different areas to provide more effective service delivery. CMA possesses more than 15 years of experience in Master Data Management and more than 20 in data management and integration. CMA has also focused our efforts on public sector since our inception, more than 30 years ago.

  • Database Vs. Data Warehouse: a Comparative Review
    Insights Database vs. Data Warehouse: A Comparative Review By Drew Cardon Professional Services, SVP Health Catalyst A question I often hear out in the field is: I already have a database, so why do I need a data warehouse for healthcare analytics? What is the difference between a database vs. a data warehouse? These questions are fair ones. For years, I’ve worked with databases in healthcare and in other industries, so I’m very familiar with the technical ins and outs of this topic. In this post, I’ll do my best to introduce these technical concepts in a way that everyone can understand. But, before we discuss the difference, could I ask one big favor? This will only take 10 seconds. Could you click below and take a quick poll? I’d like to find out if your organization has a data warehouse, data base(s), or if you don’t know? This would really help me better understand how prevalent data warehouses really are. Click to take our 10 second database vs data warehouse poll Before diving in to the topic, I want to quickly highlight the importance of analytics in healthcare. If you don’t understand the importance of analytics, discussing the distinction between a database and a data warehouse won’t be relevant to you. Here it is in a nutshell. The future of healthcare depends on our ability to use the massive amounts of data now available to drive better quality at a lower cost. If you can’t perform analytics to make sense of your data, you’ll have trouble improving quality and costs, and you won’t succeed in the new healthcare environment.

  • A Systematic Review and Taxonomy of Explanations in Decision Support and Recommender Systems
    Noname manuscript No. (will be inserted by the editor) A Systematic Review and Taxonomy of Explanations in Decision Support and Recommender Systems Ingrid Nunes · Dietmar Jannach Received: date / Accepted: date Abstract With the recent advances in the field of artificial intelligence, an increasing number of decision-making tasks are delegated to software systems. A key requirement for the success and adoption of such systems is that users must trust system choices or even fully automated decisions. To achieve this, explanation facilities have been widely investigated as a means of establishing trust in these systems since the early years of expert systems. With today's increasingly sophisticated machine learning algorithms, new challenges in the context of explanations, accountability, and trust towards such systems con- stantly arise. In this work, we systematically review the literature on expla- nations in advice-giving systems. This is a family of systems that includes recommender systems, which is one of the most successful classes of advice- giving software in practice. We investigate the purposes of explanations as well as how they are generated, presented to users, and evaluated. As a result, we derive a novel comprehensive taxonomy of aspects to be considered when de- signing explanation facilities for current and future decision support systems. The taxonomy includes a variety of different facets, such as explanation objec- tive, responsiveness, content and presentation. Moreover, we identified several challenges that remain unaddressed so far, for example related to fine-grained issues associated with the presentation of explanations and how explanation facilities are evaluated. Keywords Explanation · Decision Support System · Recommender System · Expert System · Knowledge-based System · Systematic Review · Machine Learning · Trust · Artificial Intelligence I.

It has been very useful and valuable experience and we have learned a lot during the study, not only about the topic at hand but also to manage to the work in the specified time. However, this workload would not have been manageable if we had not received help and support from a number of people who we would like to mention. First of all, we would like to thank our professor Svante Edzen for his help and supervision during the writing of thesis. And also we would like to express our gratitude to all the employees who allocated their valuable time to share their professional experience. On a personal level, Kranthi would like to thank all his family for their help and especially for my friends Kiran, Chenna Reddy, and Deepak Kumar. Ravi would like to give the greatest of thanks to his family for always being there when needed, and constantly taking so extremely good care of me….Also, thanks to all my friends for being close to me.

    U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW) Platform PRIVACY IMPACT ASSESSMENT (PIA) May 31, 2020 Office of Information Technology Privacy Impact Assessment Enterprise Data Warehouse Platform (EDW) General Information 1. Name of Project or System. Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW) Platform 2. Describe the project and its purpose or function in the SEC’s IT environment. The Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW) infrastructure will enable the provisioning of data to Commission staff for search and analysis through a virtual data warehouse platform. As part of its Enterprise Data Warehouse initiative, the SEC will begin to integrate data from various systems to provide more comprehensive management and financial reporting on a regular basis and facilitate better decision-making. (SEC Strategic Plan, 2014-2018, pg.31) The EDW will replicate source system-provided data from other operational SEC systems and provide a simplified way of producing Agency reports. The EDW is designed for summarization of information, retrieval of information, reporting speed, and ease of use (i.e. creating reports). It will enhance business intelligence, augment data quality and consistency, and generate a high return on investment by allowing users to quickly search and access critical data from a single location and obtain historical intelligence to analyze different time periods and performance trends in order to make future predictions. (SEC FY2013 Agency Financial Report, pg.31-32) The data content in the Enterprise Data Warehouse platform will be provisioned incrementally over time via a series of distinct development projects, each of which will target specific data sets based on requirements provided by SEC business stakeholders.
