Blue Pill/Red Pill: The Matrix of Thousands of Data StreamsDatabricks
Designing a streaming application which has to process data from 1 or 2 streams is easy. Any streaming framework which provides scalability, high-throughput, and fault-tolerance would work. But when the number of streams start growing in order 100s or 1000s, managing them can be daunting. How would you share resources among 1000s of streams with all of them running 24×7? Manage their state, Apply advanced streaming operations, Add/Delete streams without restarting? This talk explains common scenarios & shows techniques that can handle thousands of streams using Spark Structured Streaming.
Distributed Models Over Distributed Data with MLflow, Pyspark, and PandasDatabricks
Does more data always improve ML models? Is it better to use distributed ML instead of single node ML?
In this talk I will show that while more data often improves DL models in high variance problem spaces (with semi or unstructured data) such as NLP, image, video more data does not significantly improve high bias problem spaces where traditional ML is more appropriate. Additionally, even in the deep learning domain, single node models can still outperform distributed models via transfer learning.
Data scientists have pain points running many models in parallel automating the experimental set up. Getting others (especially analysts) within an organization to use their models Databricks solves these problems using pandas udfs, ml runtime and MLflow.

Concurrent Inference of Topic Models and Distributed Vector RepresentationsParang Saraf
Abstract: Topic modeling techniques have been widely used to uncover dominant themes hidden inside an unstructured document collection. Though these techniques first originated in the probabilistic analysis of word distributions, many deep learning approaches have been adopted recently. In this paper, we propose a novel neural network based architecture that produces distributed representation of topics to capture topical themes in a dataset. Unlike many state-of-the-art techniques for generating distributed representation of words and documents that directly use neighboring words for training, we leverage the outcome of a sophisticated deep neural network to estimate the topic labels of each document. The networks, for topic modeling and generation of distributed representations, are trained concurrently in a cascaded style with better runtime without sacrificing the quality of the topics. Empirical studies reported in the paper show that the distributed representations of topics represent intuitive themes using smaller dimensions than conventional topic modeling approaches.

The goal is for students to understand how to use tools and techniques to extract insights from large datasets.
"Big Data" is term heard more and more in industry – but what does it really mean? There is a vagueness to the term reminiscent of that experienced in the early days of cloud computing. This has led to a number of implications for various industries and enterprises. These range from identifying the actual skills needed to recruit talent to articulating the requirements of a "big data" project. Secondary implications include difficulties in finding solutions that are appropriate to the problems at hand – versus solutions looking for problems. This presentation will take a look at Big Data and offer the audience with some considerations they may use immediately to assess the use of analytics in solving their problems.
The talk begins with an idea of how big "Big Data" can be. This leads to an appreciation of how important "Management Questions" are to assessing analytic needs. The fields of data and analysis have become extremely important and impact nearly all facets of life and business. During the talk we will look at the two pillars of Big Data – Data Warehousing and Predictive Analytics. Then we will explore the open source tools and datasets available to NATO action officers to work in this domain. Use cases relevant to NATO will be explored with the purpose of show where analytics lies hidden within many of the day-to-day problems of enterprises. The presentation will close with a look at the future. Advances in the area of semantic technologies continue. The much acclaimed consultants at Gartner listed Big Data and Semantic Technologies as the first- and third-ranked top technology trends to modernize information management in the coming decade. They note there is an incredible value "locked inside all this ungoverned and underused information." HQ SACT can leverage this powerful analytic approach to capture requirement trends when establishing acquisition strategies, monitor Priority Shortfall Areas, prepare solicitations, and retrieve meaningful data from archives.

Autonomous Resource Optimization: How AI is Solving the Overprovisioning Problem
In this session, Suresh Mathew will explore how autonomous AI is revolutionizing cloud resource management for DevOps, SRE, and Platform Engineering teams.
Traditional cloud infrastructure typically suffers from significant overprovisioning—a "better safe than sorry" approach that leads to wasted resources and inflated costs. This presentation will demonstrate how AI-powered autonomous systems are eliminating this problem through continuous, real-time optimization.
Key topics include:
Why manual and rule-based optimization approaches fall short in dynamic cloud environments
How machine learning predicts workload patterns to right-size resources before they're needed
Real-world implementation strategies that don't compromise reliability or performance
Featured case study: Learn how Palo Alto Networks implemented autonomous resource optimization to save $3.5M in cloud costs while maintaining strict performance SLAs across their global security infrastructure.

Artificial Intelligence is providing benefits in many areas of work within the heritage sector, from image analysis, to ideas generation, and new research tools. However, it is more critical than ever for people, with analogue intelligence, to ensure the integrity and ethical use of AI. Including real people can improve the use of AI by identifying potential biases, cross-checking results, refining workflows, and providing contextual relevance to AI-driven results.
News about the impact of AI often paints a rosy picture. In practice, there are many potential pitfalls. This presentation discusses these issues and looks at the role of analogue intelligence and analogue interfaces in providing the best results to our audiences. How do we deal with factually incorrect results? How do we get content generated that better reflects the diversity of our communities? What roles are there for physical, in-person experiences in the digital world?
In the dynamic world of finance, certain individuals emerge who don’t just participate but fundamentally reshape the landscape. Jignesh Shah is widely regarded as one such figure. Lauded as the ‘Innovator of Modern Financial Markets’, he stands out as a first-generation entrepreneur whose vision led to the creation of numerous next-generation and multi-asset class exchange platforms.

Introduction
Bepents Tech Services is a premier cybersecurity consulting firm dedicated to protecting digital infrastructure, data, and business continuity. We partner with organizations of all sizes to defend against today’s evolving cyber threats through expert testing, strategic advisory, and managed services.
🔎 Why You Need us
Cyberattacks are no longer a question of “if”—they are a question of “when.” Businesses of all sizes are under constant threat from ransomware, data breaches, phishing attacks, insider threats, and targeted exploits. While most companies focus on growth and operations, security is often overlooked—until it’s too late.
At Bepents Tech, we bridge that gap by being your trusted cybersecurity partner.
🚨 Real-World Threats. Real-Time Defense.
Sophisticated Attackers: Hackers now use advanced tools and techniques to evade detection. Off-the-shelf antivirus isn’t enough.
Human Error: Over 90% of breaches involve employee mistakes. We help build a "human firewall" through training and simulations.
Exposed APIs & Apps: Modern businesses rely heavily on web and mobile apps. We find hidden vulnerabilities before attackers do.
Cloud Misconfigurations: Cloud platforms like AWS and Azure are powerful but complex—and one misstep can expose your entire infrastructure.
💡 What Sets Us Apart
Hands-On Experts: Our team includes certified ethical hackers (OSCP, CEH), cloud architects, red teamers, and security engineers with real-world breach response experience.
Custom, Not Cookie-Cutter: We don’t offer generic solutions. Every engagement is tailored to your environment, risk profile, and industry.
End-to-End Support: From proactive testing to incident response, we support your full cybersecurity lifecycle.
Business-Aligned Security: We help you balance protection with performance—so security becomes a business enabler, not a roadblock.
📊 Risk is Expensive. Prevention is Profitable.
A single data breach costs businesses an average of $4.45 million (IBM, 2023).
Regulatory fines, loss of trust, downtime, and legal exposure can cripple your reputation.
Investing in cybersecurity isn’t just a technical decision—it’s a business strategy.
🔐 When You Choose Bepents Tech, You Get:
