STRATEGY & TRENDSAUDITORIUM | FLOOR 1

13:15h

Data culture and agility in business environments *SpanishWhat are the critical factors of success in organising people, processes and technologies to successfully implement flexible workflows from start to finish throughout a business? What are the roles and key interlocutions in the different departments to enhance human capital and succeed in the digital transformation of a business?

Human-Robot Physical Interaction: The recent Findings and their Utilities for preventing age-related cognitive decline, improving the quality of child care, and advancing quality of mental disorder services.

In this talk, I will share some of the latest progress that our team has achieved in examining the utility of em-bodied agents in such broad application areas as elderly cognitive training, child care, and the intimate interac-tion for stress relief.

16:30h

Big Data Talent Awards *SpanishThe Big Data Talent Awards will recognize the doctoral theses and master or postgraduate final projects related to Big Data and Data Analytics with more socioeconomic impact and with the biggest technological innovation.

16:45h

Success stories II *SpanishBy presenting different applications from different companies, this session will enter into detail of how various initiatives and projects have been implemented from a managerial and organisational perspective (which points have been the most critical, how the challenges have been addressed, what teams have been formed, how the ROI has been estimated) and a technological perspective (what solutions have worked successfully, what the main technical difficulties have been) and what results were obtained.

12:15h

Equity and interpretability of artificial intelligence algorithms *SpanishIt is well known that algorithmic solutions do not always behave “fairly”. There are many potential reasons for this behaviour, from subjective design to being based on training data that presents a bias, while still faithfully representing reality. This session will gather experiences, methodologies and new approaches in order to minimise not only this problem, but also its interpretation for cases in which the algorithm is of the “black box” type.

·· Coen·Antens·Head of 4.0 Projects·CVC

16:30h

Effective architectures, platforms and infrastructure *Spanish/EnglishThere is no doubt that when we talk about Big Data and Artificial Intelligence, the computer infrastructure and architecture to use is one of the most critical points, especially if the volume of data or latency is very high or if there are data from very different sources. Companies often face the choice of different components and decisions about the use of open source or specific platforms. Different configurations for setting up the most efficient technological stack will be presented, analysing their pros and cons.

WORKSHOP 1 *SpanishSnowflake live: Data Warehouse application designed for the Cloud in the Citibike datasetIn this session, we will see Snowflake in action through cases of practical use: BI of structured and semi-structured Data Lakes with self-scalable infrastructure in seconds; creation of concurrent environments with isolation guaranteed through Zero-Copy Cloning; universal data protection through access to data from previous moments with Time Travel; and finally, share and monetise data securely, governed with Data Sharing and Data Exchange. The cases shown will illustrate the innovative design vision of Data Lake/Data Warehouse in Snowflake Cloud environments, including features of simplicity, flexibility, and unique availability strategies.
