from classroom videos to drawing inferences from data theft attempts on servers.  To learn and infer about objects, machines are provided labeled, shallow information about various types of data based on which the machines need to learn from large, structured and unstructured data they receive regularly. 

 

Structured Data

 

Structured data are data that are organized in a format easily used by a database or other technology.

 

Unstructured Data

 

Unstructured data represents any data that does not have a recognizable structure. It is unorganized and raw and can be non-textual or textual. For example, email is a fine illustration of unstructured textual data. It includes time, date, recipient and sender details and subject, etc., but an email body remains unstructured.  Unstructured data also may be identified as loosely structured data, wherein the data sources include a structure, but not all data in a data set follow the same structure.  In customer-centered businesses, the data found in an unstructured form may be examined to enhance relationship marketing and customer relationship management (CRM).  As social media apps, such as Facebook and Twitter, go mainstream, unstructured data development is likely to outrun the progress of structured data.

 

Data Aggregation

 

Data aggregation is a type of data and information mining process where data is searched, gathered and presented in a report-based, summarized format to achieve specific business objectives or processes and/or conduct human analysis. Data aggregation may be performed manually or through specialized software.

 

Ad Hoc Analysis

A cloud database is a type of database service that is built, deployed and delivered through a cloud platform. It is primarily a cloud Platform as a Service (PaaS) delivery model that allows organizations, end users and their applications to store, manage and retrieve data from the cloud.

Massively Parallel Processing

Massively parallel processing (MPP) is a form of collaborative processing of the same program by two or more processors. Each processor handles different threads of the program, and each processor itself has its own operating system and dedicated memory. A messaging interface is required to allow the different processors involved in the MPP to arrange thread handling. Sometimes, an application may be handled by thousands of processors working collaboratively on the application.

 

Decryption

Decryption is the process of transforming data that has been rendered unreadable through encryption back to its unencrypted form. In decryption, the system extracts and converts the garbled data and transforms it to texts and images that are easily understandable not only by the reader but also by the system. Decryption may be accomplished manually or automatically. It may also be performed with a set of keys or passwords.

 

Steganography

Steganography is data hidden within data. Steganography is an encryption technique that can be used along with cryptography as an extra-secure method in which to protect data. Steganography techniques can be applied to images, a video file or an audio file. Typically, however, steganography is written in characters including hash marking, but its usage within images is also common.  At any rate, steganography protects from pirating copyrighted materials as well as aiding in unauthorized viewing.

 

Passive Biometrics

In passive biometrics, systems are able to authenticate a user without any explicit user activity or input.  This is often done through a diversity of passive inputs, including data sets that are generated by monitoring the user in real time.

 

Hyperautomation

The term "hyperautomation" is relatively new and generally refers to new techniques and methods that can automate processes in significant and profound ways. Although the term is not clearly defined on many of the encyclopedia resources that people generally use online to figure out common usage for new terms, bodies like Gartner and big companies in the tech space are defining hyperautomation as the next wave of automation or “automation 2.0.”

 

Cloud Encryption Gateway

A cloud encryption gateway is a technology that provides point-of-process encryption for data traveling to and from a cloud environment.  It is a tool that sits between a cloud system and an in-house system, and performs encryption or tokenization of data in transit. The resulting "shielded" data can then be used safely by software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications.

 

AI Strategist

An AI strategist is an IT professional whose role deals with the evolution and application of artificial intelligence products and services.

 

Change Management

Change management is an IT services management (ITSM) strategy in which a systematic approach ensures the efficient and seamless flow of change in an organization's IT infrastructure.  Change management helps all involved parties, including both individuals and teams, to move from a current state to the next desired state. Change management also helps to minimize the impact of related incidents on service. Change is prevalent in any IT organization and it may arise reactively in response to problems or be externally imposed. Change management is also a project management process where change requires formal adherence to established policies.

 

ABAP Objects

ABAP Objects are the object-oriented extension introduced in 1999 to the original ABAP (Advanced Business Application programming) language and ABAP Workbench from R/3 release 4.6 and on. This fully integrated extension endows ABAP with object-oriented features for the design and implementation of object-oriented programs. Programs in ABAP may or may not contain ABAP Objects, at the programmer’s discretion.

 

Lamport's Bakery Algorithm

Lamport’s bakery algorithm is a computing algorithm that ensures efficient use of shared resources in a multithreaded environment.  This algorithm was conceived by Leslie Lamport and was inspired by the first-come-first-served, or first-in-first-out (FIFO), operational methodology of a bakery. Lamport’s bakery algorithm is a mutual exclusion algorithm that restricts two or more processes from accessing a resource simultaneously.

 

Internet of Everything (IoE) 

The internet of everything (IoE) is a broad term that refers to devices and consumer products connected to the internet and outfitted with expanded digital features. It is a philosophy in which technology's future is comprised of many different types of appliances, devices and items connected to the global internet.  The term is somewhat synonymous with the internet of things (IoT). 

 

Online Marketing

 

Online marketing is a set of tools and methodologies used for promoting products and services through the internet. Online marketing includes a wider range of marketing elements than traditional business marketing due to the extra channels and marketing mechanisms available on the internet.
Online marketing can deliver benefits such as:

Growth in potential
Reduced expenses
Elegant communications
Better control
Improved customer service
Competitive advantage

Online marketing is also known as internet marketing, web marketing, or digital marketing. It includes several branches such as social media marketing (SMM), search engine optimization (SEO), pay-per-click advertising (PPC), and search engine marketing (SEM).

 Chief Data Officer (CDO)

A chief data officer (CDO) is a senior executive role in an organization that is responsible for data governance throughout the organization. Although related, the roles of the CDO and the chief information officer are different. The CDO typically reports to the chief technology officer (CTO), chief operating officer (COO) or the chief executive officer (CEO).

The CDO is responsible for a number of areas encompassed by data governance such as:

    Information protection and privacy     Management of data life cycle     Management of data quality     Information governance     Leveraging data assets to create business value

 

Chief Risk Officer (CRO)

A chief risk officer (CRO) is an executive- or senior-level position within a company. The chief risk officer is responsible for analyzing and governing that company's risk. They are responsible for evaluating IT security as well as other potential threats to business.

Turing Complete

A system is said to be "Turing complete" in computer theory if it can be used to emulate a Turing machine, which is a theoretical construct designed by mid-century mathematician and computer scientist Alan Turing.
