Powerful Machine Learning (ML) is now available to Oracle DBAs. Over the past few years, a number of changes have occurred making this possible. As Oracle DBAs, it is now our turn to leverage ML, enabling us to do things never before possible.

But there is a lot to learn. Everything from methodology to math to tools. And then the nagging question of, are there real machine learning use cases for the Oracle DBA?

In this presentation, I'm going to introduce you to the world of ML from a DBA perspective! This includes understanding what ML is, why use it, and why now. The ah-ha moment will occur when you realize many of our monitoring, alerting, diagnosis, and analysis skills are significantly enhanced with ML.

I will demonstrate a simple yet complete ML project using Python and the "Always Free" Oracle Autonomous Database with Oracle ML SQL Notebooks. All presentation slides, scripts, and a recording of the demonstration are available!

Do you know how a large and complex organization like LA Unified School District has successfully rolled out a comprehensive business intelligence application that is business-oriented and producing results with data-driven decisions!  LAUSD Enterprise Reporting uses Kafka, ODI and Oracle technology components to deal with never-ending streams of events, to use Real-time or near-real-time processing to detect patterns and trends,  to build a suite of interactive dashboards based on streaming data integration for district executives, principals, teachers, counselors, and families with over 300 K-12 metrics and KPIs that provide whole child, whole school, whole district insight.  The session is planned as an interactive one, with a real-time demo, presented by a senior leader of the School District who has played a key role in the planning and execution of the huge effort.

Robots may be the first to truly learn Machine Learning (ML) and expand into Artificial Intelligence (AI). Python is one of the keys to Machine Learning as we program the invention of Man's Mind to further replace man's most basic tasks. This session will focus on ML 101 and building the future ahead.

We are creatures of habit. We tend to stay the course concerning what we create and how we create it. But is this tendency causing us to settle for just good enough? From OBIEE to Data Visualization Desktop to Oracle Analytics Cloud… this is not your parent’s OBIEE. Maybe it’s time for a reboot?

In this presentation, we’ll explore the new face of Oracle Analytics, both literally by looking at Oracle Data Visualization, and figuratively with how advances in the platform can affect our approach and methodology. If you are new to Oracle Analytics, I’ll convince you that this product is capable of enabling a data-driven culture. If you’ve been around the block a few times with OBIEE, then I’ll make you question how you’ve delivered analytics in the past.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are a lot like preserving the Earth's environment: Almost everyone is talking about what should be done to save it, but very few people have committed to actually doing something about it.

This session demonstrates a few real-life opportunities to discover unseen patterns and relationships within sample financial and election data by leveraging the AI and ML capabilities already built into Oracle Autonomous Database.

Data is the fuel for AI - the 21st century equivalent for what electricity did for the 20th century. AI will change everything! Companies that aggregate data from multiple sources, enriched with AI, will have a distinct advantage. Come to this session to learn how Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse, Oracle Analytics Cloud, and Oracle Digital Assistant, offer seamless conversational access to make ad-hoc queries like nothing else before. It's like superpowers for your teams!

DBAs spend time dealing with maintenance, security, and outage issues with little time for innovation. Self-driving, self-securing, and self-repairing Autonomous Databases free data professionals to leverage their domain knowledge and data skills to extract more value from data. Oracle Machine Learning, part of Autonomous Database, “moves the algorithms to the data” for in-database processing of machine learning algorithms that eliminate data movement. Now, the entire machine learning process:  problem statement, data understanding and preparation, model building and evaluation, model apply and model deployment runs inside the Oracle Database.   Database developers perform many supporting tasks today, typically 80% of the work, but refer to them as ETL, data wrangling, data transformations, and productionizing scripts.   Come learn how ADW, ATP, and Oracle Machine Learning makes it easy for you to easily expand your valuable data skills and become “data scientists” in just 6 weeks!

Accelerate business insights through data discovery, advanced analytics, and comprehensive Visualization delivered through Oracle BI. This session focuses on LAUSD deployment of an advanced, custom UI/UX framework on Oracle BI stack to deliver extreme Visualization and a live demonstration on how we adopted a simplified reporting platform for line-of-business users on key metrics, dazzling visualization, and infographics delivered through BI dashboards to help improve the decision-making process across the organization.

Oracle Autonomous Database services are built around the Oracle database and come with fully automated with self-driving, self-securing, self-repairing, and offer two options optimized by workloads: Autonomous Data Warehouse (ADW) and Autonomous Transaction Processing (ATP). In this session, you will learn the easy provisioning process of these two database cloud services, learn how to navigate the service console for service management, how to access the databases, define the database objects, load the data and run the query and transactions. For Autonomous Data Warehouse (ADW),  you will how to import and export large sets of data to/from ADW database, learn how to use data visualization tool built in the Oracle cloud to run advanced analytics and machine learning applications as well as some troubleshooting experiences and tips using ADW. We will also discuss the options and process to migrate your on-premise databases to these database cloud services.
