HBM014 - Moonlight Supernova

We asked listeners which Radiolab stories are the most Valentine-y, and we got some great nominations. Here are the top contenders--we've got spooning bloodflukes, a photographer who falls for a leopard seal, a heartbreaking story about falling out of love, and by far the top pick...Finding Emilie from our Lost & Found Show. Enjoy, and hey...maybe sharing this with your sweetheart will earn you a little extra romance-cred?

Radiolab Valentine: Aristophanes

In this episode of the Data Show, I spoke with Jeff Jonas, CEO, founder and chief scientist of Senzing, a startup focused on making real-time entity resolution technologies broadly accessible. He was previously a fellow and chief scientist of context computing at IBM. Entity resolution (ER) refers to techniques and tools for identifying and linking manifestations of the same entity/object/individual. Ironically, ER itself has many different names (e.g., record linkage, duplicate detection, object consolidation/reconciliation, etc.).

ER is an essential first step in many domains, including marketing (cleaning up databases), law enforcement (background checks and counterterrorism), and financial services and investing. Knowing exactly who your customers are is an important task for security, fraud detection, marketing, and personalization. The proliferation of data sources and services has made ER very challenging in the internet age. In addition, many applications now increasingly require near real-time entity resolution.

We had a great conversation spanning many topics including:

Why ER is interesting and challenging

How ER technologies have evolved over the years

How Senzing is working to democratize ER by making real-time AI technologies accessible to developers

Some early use cases for Senzing’s technologies

Some items on their research agenda

임재범 - 비상 (cover)

O'Reilly Media spreads the knowledge of innovators. At O’Reilly, a big part of our business is paying attention to what’s new and interesting in the world of technology. We have a pretty good record at having anticipated some of the big technology developments in recent history. For instance, we launched the first commercial Web site, GNN, in 1993; we organized the meeting at which the term “open source” was first adopted; we were early investors in Blogger, which helped launch the blogging revolution; and more recently, our Web 2.0 conference launched a world-wide meme. We call this predictive sense the “O’Reilly Radar.” And while we’re certainly not always right, we are, at least, good at making interesting guesses.

Our methodology is simple: we draw from the wisdom of the alpha geeks in our midst, paying attention to what’s interesting to them, amplifying these weak signals, and seeing where they fit into the innovation ecology. Add to that the original research conducted by our Research team, and you start to get a good picture of what the technology world is thinking about.
