The Data and Business Analytics course provides an introduction to the Engineering Systems and Design (ESD) pillar. It focuses on using industrial or commercial data to identify an opportunity for system improvement and estimating the value of this improvement to the system owner. A signature feature of the course and the primary motivation for the course material comes from a team-based, semester-long project for an external client.

Bryan Low (AI Singapore) – Learning with Less Data: Automated Machine Learning and Bayesian Optimization

Associate Professor PhD student, Dmitrii Gromyko, won the Best Student Paper Award at The International Symposium on Plasmonics and Nanophotonics 2023. Congratulations!

Cyber security and resilience are major challenges in our modern economies; this is why they are top priorities on the agenda of governments, security and defense forces, management of companies and organizations. Hence, the need of a deep understanding of cyber risks to improve resilience. We propose here an analysis of the database of the cyber complaints filed at the French Gendarmerie Nationale. We perform this analysis with a new algorithm developed for non-negative asymmetric heavy-tailed data, which could become a handy tool for applied fields, including operations research. This method gives a good estimation of the full distribution including the tail. Our study confirms the finiteness of the loss expectation, necessary condition for insurability. Finally, we draw the consequences of this model for risk management, compare its results to other standard EVT models, and lay the ground for a classification of attacks based on the fatness of the tail. This is a joint work with M. Dacorogna and N. Debbabi.

Heather VanCura (Oracle) – What Is MySQL, and Why Should You Learn it? and Santosh Panda (Cloudrea) – Building modern databases using object stores

Global supply chains have experienced tremendous disruptions over the last few years resulting in a pursuit of resilience. While there are many ways of creating resilience in an enterprise’s value chain including the more headline grabbing trends of re-shoring, securing critical minerals; there are also companies pushing hard for digitalization of cross border operations to better cushion foreseeable and unforeseeable shocks. The use of big data and technology initiatives is not only limited to the private sector but also in the public sector as well. The speaker will share on some of the big data initiatives being adopted in a seemingly far removed world of commercial trade and supply chains.
