Getting insight from data is not always a straightforward process. Data is often hard to find, archived in difficult to use formats, poorly structured and/or incomplete. These issues create friction and make it difficult to use, publish and share data. The Frictionless Data initiative at Open Knowledge International aims to reduce friction in working with data, with a goal to make it effortless to transport data among different tools and platforms for further analysis. This workshop will look at several sources of friction in working with data and how to alleviate them using Frictionless Data tools. Don't forget your laptop if you decide to attend.

Визуализация данных использует особенности человеческого восприятия для того, чтобы коммуницировать большие объемы информации в простой и доступной форме. Незнание этих особенностей восприятия визуальной информации может приводить к ошибкам в визуализации данных. В свою очередь эффективное использование этих особенностей может существенно улучшить визуализацию, сделать ее доступнее и понятнее. На воркшопе "Критика и редизайн визуализации данных" мы поговорим о небольших хитростях и трюках, которые позволяют сделать визуализацию данных более эффективной. Мы рассмотрим типичные ошибки, которые могут возникнуть в процессе создания визуализации данных, а также способы их устранения.

Blockchain or distributed ledger technology (DLT) is one of the main pillars of the FinTech industry. The distributed ledger is a database of assets or transactions that is shared with a network so that all parties have their own identical copy of the ledger. When a change is made to the ledger, every copy of the ledger across the network is updated almost simultaneously. The presence of a single source of truth enables unique possibilities for Data Analysis in relation to financial transactions, including fraud detection and regulatory compliance. During the Workshop, Anton will show how to create a FinTech application using the open source distributed ledger technology R3 and how to use it for data reconciliation.

It's often difficult to define what exactly we are talking about when we talk about AI. The technological side of it is huge but so are the social implications - who creates our algorithms? Whom do they empower? Whom do they take power away from? This workshop will take a look at all those questions, first by looking at examples of content (and images!) generated by AI algorithms, and then diving deep into questions of how well our algorithms, and the data they are based on, reflect and strengthen our society as a whole. For a fruitful participation in this workshop, you should have a deep understanding of not just the technological but also social implications of AI and algorithms.
