#Data From Alibaba E-commerce Sites Is Now Powering A Credit-Scoring Service Alibaba Group affiliate Ant Financial services has unveiled a new credit-scoring system that uses data from the e-commerce giant sites to gauge userscreditworthiness.

Sesame Credit scoring system which is currently in beta looks at data gleaned from the 300 million registered shoppers

Data used from shopping websites indicate how often a buyer or vendors follow through on transactions and the quality of their interactions with other users.

Ant Financial says that it will supplement data collected from Alibaba sites and Alipay with information from public agencies financial institutions and other merchants.

In a press statement Sesame Credit chief data scientist Yu Wujie said the service is targeted toward users who ay have obtained never bank loans

and other factors into consideration when assessing consumerscreditworthiness. esame Credit says it will protect user privacy by collecting an individual data only after they sign up for the service.

The credit-scoring system is an example of how the user data collected by Alibaba Group e-commerce business can be used to power other verticals.

we will start to see them transmitting data from some highly unlikely intelligent devices, while tracking everything from road conditions to building health to cars to industrial equipment.

The Internet of things in actuality involves a network of smart sensors collecting data. As the sensors grow ever cheaper,

the more data we can collect to make ever more intelligent decisions (at least in theory). On The Edge Of A major Shift Nils Herzberg, global co-lead for Iot at SAP says the beauty of sensors that they bring real-time data to applications. ustomers run applications for business critical processes,

which could run better with real-time awareness, Herzberg said. He says when sensors provide real-time information,

What he means that the same sensor data may used differently, depending on the industry. t driven by the business case,

Making Use Of The Data But once, we collect the data, we have to do something.

We have to use it to take actions to improve our business processes, or it doesn really help us at all.

Sensors can feed a company data to make highly inefficient processes much more efficient, but SAP Herzberg says the proliferation of that data has become so massive that companies are overwhelmed

and humans can keep up with it. Then software takes over the task of finding correlation,

and software that can begin to make better use of the data the sensors are collecting.

once you have been able to collect the data from a sensors, you can begin to build increasingly complex sets of predictions. ou can start modeling

all of them feeding data to apps and to the cloud. So is that Apple Watch,

and transmits data to the cloud, where it can warn other drivers coming down the same road about the impending danger.

These sensors will add information to an ever-growing network of connected devices producing mountains of data.

This ingests spectrumof real-time data signals from electronic medical records, to staffing systems and outpatient numbers,

and emergency call button data, to external factors gleaned by scraping public data such as weather info, disease seasonality and even local events

which might have an impact on hospital admissions looking for patterns to generate its demand predictions.

feed the machine enough data and the learning algorithms will find the patterns, or at least be able to predict likelihoods with decent accuracy.

which just plug multiple data signals into a dashboard view for hospital staff to interpret themselves.

The problem with the dashboard approach in healthcare operations is staff simply don have time to be triaging all this data themselves.

and then decide what the best data-driven decision, based on that is really hard, says Garg. e started with a real-time dashboard at firstand realized that,

based on analyzing a combination of data signals such as when a patient presses a call button for help,

because the platform provides the data overlap as human staff come and go. But what about the other humans in this equation the patients?

In its current rollouts Garg says is only utilizing data elements that hospitals were already capturing,

if a hospital started asking for additional decisions that maybe required additional data elements to be captured then the team would efinitely want to have a conversation with the patients to make sure they are comfortable with that Newhouse also points out that Analyticsmd makes a point of not capturing personal data such as patientsnames

#Push For Greater State Surveillance Powers Could Have Chilling Effect On U k. Tech Sector The U k. government is lining up a new piece of legislation to expand the state digital data capture powers.

and volume of captured comms data. The U k. Prime minister has appeared even to suggest that strong encryption should be outlawed.

While that is certainly true for some digital services with a sloppy attitude to security (or with business models that rely on data mining their users), others,

That really will be a*gets popcorn*momenthe Tory prior attempt to expand the state data capture powers,

the Communications Data Bill widely criticized as a nooperscharter on the grounds that it would have required ISPS to retain detailed data on web usage failed to pass through Parliament owing to the lack of support from the Conservative Lib dem coalition partners.

but was a prominent critic of the Communications Data Bill, tells Techcrunch he has concerns about the surveillance powers that the government will be pushing for. el have to see how much theyl try

When they were trying to push the Communications Data Bill, initially, the first version was incredibly broadbrush

and afforded powers to do any data collection. They then admitted, during the process of our parliamentary committee enquiry,

another reason to oppose more expansive state data retention is that it makes the intelligence agenciesjob harder given it increases the noise to signal ration,

if you demand more things you have more data, and if you believe that the problem the intelligence services face at the moment is a shortage of data then it would address the problem.

I think the problem is they don know what to do with all the data that they have.

If you look at the killing of U k. soldier Lee Rigby for example the problem isn that they have no idea.

The problem is they have so much data they couldn prioritize it properly, he argues. o unlike IP ADDRESS matching where there really was a strong case,

I think the word we used was isleadinge also notes that the Joint Committee report on the draft Communications Data bill was hugely critical about the lack of data ministers were able to provide to support assertions that expanding data capture powers for counter-terrorism purposes would save lives.

e need more data but we can tell you whyand where the U k. Parliament Intelligence and security committee should be playing a robust role in holding the government to account in such a sensitive area,

where when the security services take the ability to look at private data, they do it in a way where it goes through a court,

and when people do have snooped their data on it only used in a very serious process of tracking down organised crime and terrorism?

so shoring up and expanding state surveillance and data capture powers is evidently front of mind and a clear priority for the new U k. government.

Imagine the power of state surveillance tapping into an expansive Internet of things infrastructure that ceaselessly gathers real-time data on every point of human intersection public

and rivatewhen it comes to surveillance of digital comms data, this same outsourcing modus operandi used with CCTV is being applied by governments to Internet companies with the U k. government now preparing to push one of the most hawkish data retention agendas in the Western world,

and that despite the censure that has been directed at systematic digital dragnets in the wake of the Snowden revelations.

location data that could be crucial for saving a life or finding a kidnap victim is often unavailable to the emergency operator.

#Laser-Radio links Upgrade the Internet The rise of Wi-fi and cellular data services made Internet access more convenient and ubiquitous.

Now some of the high-speed backhaul data that powers Internet services looks set to go wireless, too.

Technology that uses parallel radio and laser links to move data through the air at high speeds,

He says a faster way to install new capacity is to use his company wireless transmission towers to move data at two gigabits per second.

whose customers have growing appetites for mobile data. Many U s. providers are currently scrambling to install fiber to replace the copper cables that still link up around half of all cellular towers,

Routing data over both simultaneously provides redundancy that allows an AOPTIX link to guarantee a rate of two gigabits per second with only five minutes or less downtime in a year,

and it could be increased to four gigabits or more in the future. The radio and laser equipment inside an AOPTIX device move automatically to compensate for the swaying of a cell tower caused by wind.

AOPTIX originally developed its laser technology for the Pentagon, designing systems that actively steer laser beams to keep data moving between ground stations, drones, and fighter jets.

They use a special SIM CARD-the tiny card that allows your device to connect to a carrier network-called Apple SIM.

And unlike SIM CARDS in use today, it is locked not to a single carrier. You will be able to use a setting in ios to quickly switch from carrier to carrier right on the ipad

you may also be able to choose a data plan from a local carrier for the duration of your trip.

what more interesting is the impact this could have on wireless data competition and prices if more carriers are added to the mix.

if you see that a carrier that supported by your Apple SIM is having a sale on a short-term data plan,

the Apple SIM is added eventually to the iphone (and, perhaps, similarly flexible SIMS appear for other smartphones as well).

Not only would it make it easier to move from one carrier to another, but it could also make it more affordable for people all over the world to communicate.

Given that the Apple SIM seems like a really intriguing technology that could change the wireless industry,

Perhaps it can come up with a way to convince the wireless companies to get on board for the Apple SIM
