10.15 - 11.15 Synthetic Data (Goran Vuksic)

11.20 - 12.20 Bringing portrait's to life (Peter Heiberg)

12.30 -13.00 Lunch (Offline)

13.00-14.00 Building a Power BI monitoring solution: from audit logs to finalized delivery (Andrea Martorana Tusa)

Sessions:
Synthetic data (Goran Vuksic)
Synthetic data is an inexpensive alternative to real world data that is used to train and improve AI models. In order to train accurate AI models, a large amount of data is needed. With use of realistic 3D models you can easily create synthetic data for AI classification and object detection. In this session you will see how synthetic data can be created, and how this data can be used to train AI models

Bringing portrait's to life (Peter Heiberg)
In Peter's spare time projects he recently realized the power of machine learning, turning a good solution into a great, by automating tedious or seemingly impossible manual tasks. In this talk Peter will tell the story about how he applied machine learning to enhance the user experience of data entry and search using natural language processing and face recognition in one of the spare time projects, a large crowd sourced wiki. The results of those enhancements exceeded his wildest expectations.

Building a Power BI monitoring solution: from audit logs to finalized delivery (Andrea Martorana Tusa)
Monitoring adoption measurement and user engagement in Power BI is still a challenge, despite the platform improvements over the years. If you want detailed metrics up to single user activity, you have to read the activity log which is rather difficult to access and extract. Security limitations and technical requirements might be a serious obstacle on the way to get data from the audit log. And once you finally get your files, what to do? How to read the log? How to extract valuable from the JSON array output? Furthermore, the retention policy of Power BI audit data is only 90 days. It is essential to extract and store the data somewhere before the it gets lost. We coped the same issues as you in my company and we built an end-to-end monitoring solution in Azure. The audit log is extracted and stored in a storage account, a pipeline transforms and copies the data in Synapse where a data model is built. Final outcomes in the delivery chain are many Power BI reports pointing to the data model. During the session, I walk you through the solution we built. Architecture, technical implementation, tools and services we used, issues mistakes and gap we discovered. At the end you’ll have a full understanding of what is needed for building such a solution, and you can assess how to implement it in your own situation.!
