Business Agility for Business Leaders
By Mr. Jamie Donoghue, Adjunct Lecturer | Founder, Visionlead Consulting

Being agile is an inherent trait of all start-ups. With a small cross-functional team that are close to their customers, they can implement new ideas quickly, scale rapidly, challenge the industry leaders and increasingly come out victorious. It is no longer the big fish that eat the small ones, it is the fast that eat the slow.

Join Jamie as he explains how the “7 Tenets of Business Agility” enable a larger and slower organisation, to make the shift towards cross-functional product or service teams that have the speed, support and competencies to ‘be-agile’ enough to stand a chance.

Talk Data Analytics Cybersecurity

Start with Data Governance
By Mr. Nicholas Tan, Principal Lecturer & Consultant, IT Strategy & Management Practice

Data is an asset’ is a common refrain. An asset is a ‘useful or valuable thing’, but how is data that? A 2016 global data and analytics survey of senior management had 61% respondents who indicate their organisations were either rarely or somewhat data-driven when it comes to decision-making.

Why this dissonance? The answer is that to realise the potential of data as an asset requires understanding how the data is to be used; how the data can be acquired in a useable manner; how insights can be derived from the data; and importantly, predicating decision-making on such insights.

Data governance underpins all these and it is a necessary condition to exploit data assets in the creation of business value; hence, start with data governance.

Autonomous Vehicles for the Smart Nation: Trends and Challenges
By Dr. Fun Wey, Principal Lecturer & Consultant, Analytics & Intelligent Systems Practice

It was envisaged that driverless buses could be on the roads of Singapore as early as 2020. The increasing utilization of drones and autonomous vehicles across many sectors has led to increasing demand for skilled manpower in this area. Drones and autonomous vehicles are definitely coming and staying for long time.

On the other hand, advances in fringe support technology such as machine learning has facilitated the development of drones’ controls in many application areas. In particular the emerging trend of “machine learning with synthetic data” (by coupling machine learning techniques with realistic physics-based simulations) could be the key to achieving highly cost-effective and rapid development of new autonomous vehicles. The advances in IoT also enhance the adoption of this technology.

The talk will cover the various emerging technological and business trends, as well as issues such as potential legal problems and social acceptance, related to drones and autonomous vehicles.

Application of Analytics in Manufacturing Sector (NUS-ISS Master of Technology Project)
By Mr. Prashant Jain & Mr. Wang Zixin,Student, Master of Technology in Enterprise Business Analytics Programme

The goal of Batch manufacturing is to safely produce a maximum yield batch within product quality specifications in the shortest amount of time and with a minimum amount of waste. However, achieving that goal presents many challenges. Operators often work in a highly complex, interlinked and dynamic environment and must manage a large amount of data and information on a running unit. This makes it easy for batches to end up with undesirable processing events or inadequate end-of-batch quality. It also makes it easy for operators and engineers to miss atypical process variation relationships.

The traditional univariate (one variable at a time) approach to problem solving may provide some insight. However, this approach doesn't consider interactions among inputs and process variables and output quality characteristics. It's better to compare a batch to a multivariate based model, or a “golden profile,” that compiles many acceptable batches and accounts for process relationships and process variability. This allows a much more accurate analysis of that batch and, depending on the techniques used, fault detection and end-of-batch quality prediction. In addition, it affords process insight unobtainable from a golden batch analysis.

HP Indigo produces approximately 200 batches of Ink every week. After every batch, the trends of ink process parameters are checked for deviations from reference limits and then quality parameters are checked using sophisticated lab equipment by taking a batch sample to the lab. But, the ink quality cannot be checked until the whole process finishes which is 14 hours long. If the ink quality of any batch is poor, operator must scrap that batch, which is very costly. The objective of this internship work was to study the feasibility of building a predictive model that can predict the end-of-batch quality based on current process conditions halfway through the process. This presentation is aimed to showcasing the techniques and approach being followed to achieve this objective.

Abnormality Classification Using Convolutional Neural Networks On Combinatorial Mammograms (NUS-ISS Master of Technology Project)
By Mr. Ethiraj Srinivasan,Big Data Analytics Engineer,KNOREX (Alumnus, MTech SE) & Ms. Sindhu Rumesh,Solution Consultant, Francium Tech (Alumnus, MTech EBAC)

Classification of breast mass lesions for tumor is an unsolved challenge. We have described abnormality classification of lesions using models trained on several combinations of publicly available datasets (Digital Database for Screening Mammography and Mammographic Image Analysis Society), preprocessing stages (raw, semi and complete preprocessing) and views (cranial-caudal and mediolateral-oblique) of mammograms. Pre-trained Convolution Neural Network(CNN) models of Vgg16 and Resnet, trained on ImageNet dataset are used for classification. Transfer learning is used to train the models on mammograms by fine tuning the last layer of CNN. The results obtained shows that our models are capable of classifying lesions with a low false negative rate of 0.1813 for three class classification (Normal vs Benign vs Malignant) and 0.1837 for two class classification (Normal vs Abnormal). Our model has achieved the lowest false negative rate for three class classification on the full breast image.
