Software development generates an inordinate amount of data. Forexample, check-ins, work items, and test executions are recorded insoftware repositories such as CVS, Subversion, GIT, and Bugzilla.Telemetry data reflects how customers experience software, whichincludes application and feature usage and exposes reliability. Thesheer amount is impressive: for the 10,000 projects monitored by theweb-page CIA.vc, every 17 seconds a commit takes place. The open-

source platform SourceForge.net hosts more than 300,000 projects, and according toGithub.com, 1 million people host 2.9 million GIT repositories. The bug database of theMozilla Firefox projects now contains almost 800,000 reports. Many companies havedevelopment data at similar scale. But how can we use this data to make smarter decisionsand to improve software projects? Software development analytics takes data and turns itinto insight to inform better development decisions. Analytics is commonly used in manybusinesses-notably in marketing, to better reach and understand customers. The applicationof analytics to software development is becoming more popular. In this talk, I presentsuccessful efforts from Microsoft and academia that turn software development data intoactionable insight.

Dr. Thomas Zimmermann is a researcher in the Research in Software Engineering (RiSE)group at Microsoft Research, adjunct assistant professor at the University of Calgary, andaffiliate faculty at University of Washington.

Social Media Data Analytics Research

Social media is an interactive vehicle for communication used daily by hundreds ofmillions of people. Businesses can derive significant benefits from listening to what users arepublicly saying on social media, by transforming the massive amounts of textual content intoinsights specific to enterprise applications. Defining, extracting and representing entitiessuch as people, organizations and products, and their inter-relationships enables thebuilding of comprehensive consumer profiles that can be leveraged in enterprise applicationssuch as customer retention and acquisition, campaign management and lead generation.Building these social media profiles requires a combination of text analytics and entityresolution, while the utilization of such profiles in applications requires statistical models andmachine learning. In this talk, I will describe the work in progress at IBM Research on howsuch consumer insights, both at the level of an individual and at the level of appropriatemicro-segments, can be used in applications in companies ranging from movie studios tofinancial services and insurance companies. I will also provide a brief overview of text, entityand statistical analysis tools that can operate in a distributed environment over very largeamounts of data.

Shivakumar Vaithyanathan is the IBM Chief Scientist for Text Analytics and the DepartmentManager of the Intelligent Information Systems Group at the IBM Almaden Research Center.Since joining IBM in 1998, he has been involved in multiple research areas includingdevelopment of learning algorithms, especially for extremely high-dimensional sparse data.His department is currently involved in building systems for Scalable Unstructured Analytics,Enterprise Search and Large-scale machine learning and Statistical Modeling.

Making Analytics Accessible to Non-Analysts

Business leaders today acknowledge the role that predictive analyticscan play in managing their organizations more effectively. Althoughprovisions are being made to add predictive analytics to complementtheir business intelligence suites, there is a growing crisis of talentshortage for qualified data miner and statisticians. In other words, thereare not enough people able to make sense of all the data beingaccumulated. Business schools are already adding predictive analyticcourses to their curriculums to address the need; however, it seems as

today's tools are targeted toward more sophisticated users. How can business analystsleverage the predictive and explanatory power of predictive analytics? How can analytics bemade more "consumable"?

IBM Business Analytic's Research Applications group has developed a robust process to dojust that. By employing a data-centric approach, driven by an interlocking series ofautomated statistical tests and modeling techniques, we have vigorously rejuvenated theanalysis process of data preparation, exploration, modeling and interpretation. By serving upinsights based on the nature of the data itself, users can truly "start from the end." Thisproposed approach will enable business analysts to use these insights to positively affecttheir businesses - not massaging data and discerning the proper analytic method.

Jing Y. Shyr is a Distinguished Engineer and Chief Statistician at the IBM Business Analyticsgroup. Before the IBM acquisition in 2009, Jing was Chief Statistician and Senior VicePresident of Technology Solutions at SPSS Inc., a worldwide provider of analyticaltechnology. She has leveraged her skills and experience in the field of statistical computingto become an innovative leader in the industry and the head of development for SPSS Inc.'sdata mining technology and analytical solutions. Today, she leads a team of researchersand software developers responsible for the creation of data mining technology andstatistical methodology. Her vision of making software produce consumable information willhelp to unlock the value of data for analysts and business users and spearheaded the use ofdata in decision making. During her tenure in SPSS, Ms Shyr set up a China developmentlab in Xi'an. The lab has become one of the most productive sites among IBM China labs.

She is an active member of the American Statistical Association, the PMML group (part ofW3C), Advisory Council of the Science School of Purdue University and a recipient of theDistinguished Alumna Award from Purdue University in 2000. She has been named to i-Street magazine's third annual Women in Black listing. Ms. Shyr has received theDistinguished Alumna Award from National Chiao Tung University in 2005 and theDistinguished Alumna Award form National Tsing Hua University in 2006.

Since joining IBM, Ms Shyr has joined the Smart City initiative to help to solve SyracuseVacant Property challenges. Her most recent efforts are on creating innovation for BusinessAnalytics in IBM.
