  • Machine Learning Is Driving an Innovation Wave in Saas Software
    Machine Learning is Driving an Innovation Wave in SaaS Software By Jeff Houston, CFA [email protected] | 512.364.2258 SaaS software vendors are enhancing their soluti ons with machine learning (ML) algorithms. ML is the ability of a computer to either automate or recommend appropriate actions by applying probability to data with a feedback loop that enables learning. We view ML as a subset of artificial intelligence (AI), which represents a broad collection of tools that include/leverage ML, such as natural language processing (NLP), self-driving cars, and robotics as well as some that are tangent to ML, such as logical rule-based algorithms. Although there have been multiple “AI Winters” since the 1950s where hype cycles were followed by a dearth of funding, ML is now an enduring innovation driver, in our opinion, due in part to the increasing ubiquity of affordable cloud-based processing power, data storage—we expect the pace of breakthroughs to accelerate. automation, customer support, marketing, and human resources) through both organic and M&A These innovations will make it easier for companies initiatives. As for vertical-specific solutions, we think to benefit beyond what is available with traditional that a new crop of vendors will embrace ML and business intelligence (BI) solutions, like IBM/ achieve billion-dollar valuations. VCs are making big Cognos and Tableau, that simply describe what bets that these hypotheses will come to fruition as happened in the past.

Introduction Search history. It is an excellent way to peer into someone’s mind and see what they are thinking at a particular moment in time. In a court room, search history can be used to show intent (mens rea). There are plenty of examples where search history has been used in court to establish a defendant’s intent. Probably the most gruesome was the New York City Cannibal Cop trial, where prosecutors used the accused’s search history against him. Of course, there is a fine line between intent and protected speech under the First Amendment. Over the past month and a half I have published a couple of blog posts dealing with Google Assistant and some of the artifacts it leaves behind, which you can find here and here.

  • Ransomware and G Suite Business: What You Need to Know
    EBOOK Pull text goes here and bold some of the copy Ransomware and G Suite Business: What You Need to Know 1 | backupify.com Pull text goes here Theand boldRansomware some Problem of the copy Small to enterprise sized businesses face an enormous computer security challenge. They have hundreds -- or thousands -- of accounts to manage. In most cases, not every account holder will ! have the training or knowledge to take the proper measures to keep the organization’s data secure. With multiple accounts, there’s a pretty good chance that someone will encounter malware. It just takes an accidental click or two to download and install. Ransomware encrypts your files then demands payment. The ransom notification promises that if you pay, you’ll receive an unlock code to decrypt your files. Of course, you have to pay in a hard-to- trace cryptocurrency. If you don’t pay, some variants delete your files -- a few at first, then more over time. Don’t think a reboot will help: that just spurs the software to delete your data. And even if you pay, you might not get your data back. You have absolutely no reason to trust the thieves behind the ransomware. Once they have your money, why would they bother to give you an unlock code that works? And why would you expect ransomware distributors to create bug-free code? There’s a decent chance they’re effective criminals, but lousy coders. Cloud apps and storage, such as G Suite and Google Drive, offer some protection from ransomware. New files you create online will be safe.

  • Transfer Your Gmail and Drive with Google Takeout for Schools
    Transfer your Gmail and Drive with Google Takeout for Schools You can take it with you! Transfer your Gmail and Drive with Google Takeout for Schools Change is a part of life: Maybe you are a high school senior or a college student and you are graduating. Or perhaps you are a student who is moving to a new school. You might be a teacher who is taking a job at a new school district. Or maybe you are an educator who is retiring after many years of service. In each situation, it is very possible you may have a Google account. G Suite may be used at your high school, your college, and any one of your jobs. So what happens to your Google account when you graduate high school, graduate college, move from one job to another, and eventually retire? You will have built up years of emails, documents, slideshows, and much more. Is there an easy way to take all those files and all that data with you? What would be great would be a simple tool to copy all of your files to a different Google account (such as your personal Gmail account). Well, thankfully we have that with Google Takeout for Schools. This is a very simple and free tool that will copy the emails and Drive files from your school account over to either a personal Gmail account or another G Suite for Education account. See below for a video demonstrating all the steps, as well as written direction on the process. Tutorial Video (9 minutes) Directions for Copying Gmail and Drive For the first step you need to have two different Google accounts, the source account that you are copying from and the destination account that you are copying to.

  • Google Data Collection —NEW—
    Digital Content Next January 2018 / DCN Distributed Content Revenue Benchmark Google Data Collection —NEW— August 2018 digitalcontentnext.org CONFIDENTIAL - DCN Participating Members Only 1 This research was conducted by Professor Douglas C. Schmidt, Professor of Computer Science at Vanderbilt University, and his team. DCN is grateful to support Professor Schmidt in distributing it. We offer it to the public with the permission of Professor Schmidt. Google Data Collection Professor Douglas C. Schmidt, Vanderbilt University August 15, 2018 I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1. Google is the world’s largest digital advertising company.1 It also provides the #1 web browser,2 the #1 mobile platform,3 and the #1 search engine4 worldwide. Google’s video platform, email service, and map application have over 1 billion monthly active users each.5 Google utilizes the tremendous reach of its products to collect detailed information about people’s online and real-world behaviors, which it then uses to target them with paid advertising. Google’s revenues increase significantly as the targeting technology and data are refined. 2. Google collects user data in a variety of ways. The most obvious are “active,” with the user directly and consciously communicating information to Google, as for example by signing in to any of its widely used applications such as YouTube, Gmail, Search etc. Less obvious ways for Google to collect data are “passive” means, whereby an application is instrumented to gather information while it’s running, possibly without the user’s knowledge. Google’s passive data gathering methods arise from platforms (e.g. Android and Chrome), applications (e.g.

  • Machine Learning in Google Drive
    Senior Staff Software Engineer, Google Google I/O Extended Boulder 8-May-2018 #io18extended ...like space :) #spaceishard Spaceflight is unforgiving and complicated. But it’s not a miracle. It can be done #intelligenceishard ● Fundamentals of machine learning are complicated; ML is easily misapplied ● Doing “toy” things with ML is easy. ○ Doing useful things is a lot harder How to get there from here? ● Start small, but real ● Measure. Be rigorous. Make sure you’re helping ● Have a compelling UX ● Launch. Iterate. Improve. ● Never forget the user #io18extended Drive Quick Access Main Idea: Prominently show the user's documents and files they likely want to open right now Benefit 1: Save Users Time ● Quick Access gets users to their files 50% faster… and with less cognitive friction Benefit 2: Enable users to make better business decisions ● Show users relevant documents to their pending business decisions, including documents they may not be aware of. (The right information at the right time.) #io18extended Drive Quick Access: Mobile (Android and iOS) #io18extended What we’ve learned: Quick Access Feature Intelligence works ● Training and using Machine Learning models results in improved metrics beyond a simple “Most Recently Used” across all metrics Quick Access saves users time ● About 50% of opens come from QA, each one saves 50% on “finding time” Starting Point for Future Work ● Quick Access has proven out our machine learning infrastructure for Drive and provides a framework for future intelligence features. #io18extended Quick Access
