Learn some of the tips and technicals of high speed, low latency systems in Ad Serving and Finance
by Claudia Perlich
Chief Scientist at Dstillery
In the context of building predictive models, predictability is usually considered a blessing. After all – that is the goal: build the model that has the highest predictive performance. The rise of ‘big data’ has in fact vastly improved our ability to predict human behavior thanks to the introduction of much more informative features. However, in practice things are more differentiated than that. For many applications, the relevant outcome is observed for...

Technology Architect @Adform
High Load consists of three factors:
- Latency - The Speed of an individual request, business transaction or event
- Throughput - The Scale required to process a number business transactions per time period a.k.a TPS
- Availability - The system 99.XXX% availability 24/7/365 AdTech is the technology that supports Digital Marketing.

Reporting and Data Team Lead @Unruly
At Unruly, we're fast and furious both in terms of the volumes we're handling and in our development process. Scaling incrementally has raised some interesting challenges in how to deal with growing data volumes, and by trying to deliver value in small steps, we've ended up with some unconventional solutions. We'll talk about scaling problems we've encountered, and where extreme programming values led us.

CTO @Neurensic
Neurensic has built a solution, SCORE, for doing Trade Surveillance using H2O (an open-source pure Java Big Data ML tool), Machine Learning, and a whole lot of domain expertise and data munging. SCORE pulls in private and public market data and in a few minutes will search it for all sorts of bad behavior: spoofing, wash-trading and cross-trading, pinging, and a lot more. It then filters down the billions of rows of data down to human scale with some great...

The race for low latency data continues. 10 years ago, Flashboys were helping HFT make money with low-latency infrastructures. Today, hedge funds build AI brains pumping hundreds of sources of data in real-time, seeking ubiquity to build Laplace Demons.
