Topological Data Analysis Based Approaches to Deep Learning

November 14, 2018

Deep neural networks are a powerful and fascinating methodology for solving problems with large and complex data sets. They use directed graphs as a template for very large computations. Constructing these graphs is a very interesting problem, and one which is mostly solved in an ad hoc fashion. One exception to this observation is the collection of convolutional neural nets, or CNN’s, which are applicable for particular data formats, such as images or time series. Convolutional neural networks have two important properties.

Why Graph is Key to The Modern Master Data Management Movement

whitePaper | August 1, 2022

The Graph database is fundamental to driving a much-needed breakthrough in the world of Master Data Management (MDM). Until now, traditional MDM systems have imposed strict rules and structures on how these projects are managed. This has cost enterprises dearly in terms of wasted time and resources and has been a major contributory factor to the failure of many MDM initiatives. Graph has changed all of that, allowing modern MDM platforms to completely redefine how master data is prepared for insight and used to deliver tangible business outcomes.

Accountability and Traceability White Paper & Research Roadmap

whitePaper | April 18, 2023

The MIT Future of Data Initiative is leading a multi-disciplinary research agenda to design and stimulate the deployment of consumer-empowering and accountable systems to provide trusted, traceable uses of personal data on an ecosystem-wide scale. The Initiative has gathered together computer science and Internet policy researchers as well as leading commercial enterprises in financial services, payment technology, cloud platforms, insurance and other sectors to discuss current challenges and opportunities in privacy and data governance. Today’s modern privacy laws place appropriately high expectations on organizations processing personal data. At the same time, consumers report declining trust in those who handle their personal data and regulators around the world struggle with the scale of the enforcement challenge. We aim to identify and put into service technical infrastructure for enterprises seeking to handle personal data in a trustworthy and lawful manner with guardrails to enable the traceable, accountable, and scalable use of data.
