Talking at Imperial College about Analytics<\/p><\/div>\n

My research started back in 2001, when during my studies\u00a0I worked at Imperial College on model reduction techniques<\/strong> (following my Engineering Thesis work @ Dundee on flexible robotics and control), using advanced numerical linear algebra and topoology<\/strong> (Lanczos and Arnoldi approach on Krylov subspaces) in order to reduce the complexity of a complex system, using the eigenvalue theory.<\/p>\n

I continued my work at Ecole polytechnique in Paris (Ingenieur), where my\u00a0work focused on the application of differential mathematical topology<\/strong> (isomorphic hypercube and various permutations) for asychronous data mining on a distributed set of processors. I then realized that I could use the theory and the mathematical algos created to solve real data analytics problems, in a distributed way, faster and more efficient (2006). My first draft paper on the hypercubic approach can be found here<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

My work during my PhD focused on the application and evolution of my previous work, applied on the learning management systems (e-learning)\u00a0and later on the energy information systems (smart grids);\u00a0as an outcome, I created Intelen (from Intelligent Energy)\u00a0as a research group. My approach can be also applied to engagement analytics and ways of correlate machine\/sensor KPIs with behavioral KPIs in order to define, measure, assess, quantify and predict engagement of humans\/users with digital means and products (Marketing, Banking, Energy, Health, Sales, Ads, etc)<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of my PhD exit papers,\u00a0successfully<\/span> worked as\u00a0the foundations of my first startup (Intelen Inc) and can be found here<\/a>. <\/strong>In this paper I created a new recursive permutation of K-means (here<\/a>), the RKM clustering (here<\/a>)<\/em>, based on the hypercubic topology and distributed computing, following some stochastic distributions for routing. I could analyse tones of clustered information in real-time and observe how the information was related with various dynamic KPIs. I will apply this approach to Health analytics, Smartcities, IoT and Sensor grids, over mobile apps. Also this algo can be applied to engagement analytics, in order to analyse and visualize human engagement metrics to a digital channel, during the whole engagement procedure.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
