Hong Kong Knowledge Management Conference 2013
- 1. Conference Theme : KM and Big Data – friends or enemies? Organised by: Media sponsor: Conference highlights: 5 Keynote speeches and one panel discussion. Big Data is the hot topic. Advanced analytic capabilities is the potential benefit. But Knowledge Management(KM) professionals are wary – we’ve seen corporations amass vast amounts of data in their Intranets , which for many have about as much use as a digital dustbin. We understand the important role of humans to provide context and judgement to turn data into knowledge. However, Big Data may be a game changer, with huge investments in technology capability. Join us at this Conference and learn if there is a role for Big Data in the world of KM.

- 3. KM and Big Data – friends or enemies Organised by: Media sponsor: HKKMS Conference Nov 2013 - Synopses of keynote presentations Keynote I: Creating the Future: The Intelligent machines Speaker : Dr Ben Goertzel, Chief Science Officer, Aidyia Limited The shift to a networked digital economy is creating a new competitive landscape for all organisations. The disruption caused to the business models of various industries based on the new information economy has already been substantial. But the revolution is only beginning. Big Data is spurring the development and broad deployment of a new set of technologies with advanced analytic capabilities. Big Data in the context of global networks will be a primary driver behind the emergence of a new generation of AI systems and more similar to human-like thinking Ben will take us through the coming revolution in the ability of companies to sense, analyse and respond to available data, with a particular focus on the role of AI technology in dealing with Big Data and the networked world. Keynote II: Social makes sense of Big data Speaker : Euan Semple, Social Media pioneer at the BBC , United Kingdom Big business is excited about Big Data but data without context is almost meaningless. Context comes from people and stories. We increasingly create, navigate and assign meaning to data via the social networks we take part in online. If you aren't part of the networks or communities who are generating the data you are collecting then you won't know what it means, and if you aren't trusted and connected to those networks and communities you will have limited ability to do anything with it! Euan will describe this highly networked world that many already inhabit, that in the future will become the norm, and which already provides rich and powerful context for data and information. Keynote III: Cloud Computing and Big Data for Service Innovations & Learning Speaker : Prof Eric Tsui, HK Polytechnic University , Hong Kong Up till now, most of the adoption of cloud computing focuses on the automation and consolidation of traditional IT services. As such, the gains are confined to the uniformity of control, cost reduction and better governance. Recent adoption of the cloud have gradually moved into tactical and even strategic levels thereby demonstrating a high level of gains for using the cloud. Such benefits include dynamism in business model compositions and speed and ease in orchestrating service innovations in the cloud. This talk will shed light on how massive and rapid accumulation of data in the cloud can support human-machine cooperative problem solving and re-define the landscape of Open Innovation and Connectionist Learning via a Knowledge Cloud. Keynote IV: "Big Data", a new resource to detect and INTERPRET weak signals? Speaker : Nicolas Lesca, Université Claude Bernard , France Scanning the environment to detect weak signals requires access to various external sources of information. Choosing and accessing to information sources is an ongoing problem. Today, "Big Data" seems to open considerable possibilities to access data of various type But in turn it exacerbates many problems : data overload, the selection of only the relevant information, the processing of different formats, the approximation of information for sensemaking. Thus, "Big Data" opens a wide field of research to help companies in their decision-making. Keynote V: The Future of Information marketplaces Speaker: David Worlock, Chairman of BIIA , United Kingdom The Future History of Information Marketplaces . This session is a reflection on the continuing experience of very rapid change in the way information is used and traded . Will technology continue to be disruptive and create opportunities for market disintermediation ? Will knowledge engineering and artificial intelligence at last take a full role in workflow and process ? What succeeds the Age of Data and when ? In a world where everyone is a publisher and a librarian , what does the future hold for the people who currently have those roles - and the information managers in corporations , government and academe who have assumed the functions of some of those roles ?
