21 Open Access Books about AI, Data, Robots & Business you can klick on – Part 1

Dear guest!

One thing we should remember: Thanks to the widespread and more public available libraries since the beginning of the print book at the start of the Renaissance until the spread of information through the World Wide Web since the 1991:

The access to knowledge has grown dramatically to almost anyone in the world and this stands in sharp contrast to the keeping of knowledge in secret and for a few selected people in the past. But thanks to technology like letterpress printing (credits of course in the west to Johannes G.) and the work of Tim Berners-Lee for the WWW: data, information, and knowledge is now in our Information Age at almost any place in the world and at any time available.

Which can be of course a challenge and leads sometimes even to internet addiction when digital detoxing is not done in time. But I am not an expert in Clinical Psychology, so turn to some other expertise in case of interest in this matter.

Book recommendations: Surely you find helpful insights on “how to stay smart in a smart world” in the same named book by renowned Gerd Gigerenzer (see also his new 2023 published book The Intelligence of Intuition for a deeper understanding of human decision making; Note: free access to Chapter 1).

In the last twenty years another trend emerged and the publication of research papers and textbooks by open access lowers sometimes expensive orders of magazines and textbooks by publishers. One great source for this is the Directory of Open Access Books (doab), which I used for the research on the theme of this newsblog article.

So enjoy, select, klick on, and read one ore more of the following books on Artificial Intelligence, software, robots, business, and related fields.

Tip: German Data Science Days 2024

Dear visitor!

In some of my recent newsblog articles (read those here and here) I collected 32 HR tech conferences and 13+1 HR & People Analytics Conferences.

And although this seems, with almost 50 conferences, as a collection covering many important data events, it cannot be complete of course (and I did not strive for it neither).

German Data Science Days 2024

Las friday I found another conference that might be of interest for you if you are working with data, statistics, and analytics – thus in the field of data science and in the case of HR data in HR & People Analytics (more or less HR data science, but this term is not used that often):

The German Data Science Days 2024.

Image: German Data Science Society (embedded)

The conference is dated March 7 – 8, 2024, and will take place at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (LMU Munich). It is organized by the German Data Science Society and has happened since 2018 (the society’s founding year) each year until 2023, which sums up to six conferences by now.

The 2024 conference includes topics and speakers like:

Alexander Haag, ERGO: “Navigating the fusion of AI generations in the insurance industry with ERGO’s AI Factory”

Monica Epple & Christian Pich, Swiss Re: “Navigating the future – How Swiss Re is unlocking data to drive innovation in reinsurance”

Jasmin Weimüller & Dr. Christoph Weisser, BASF: “How is BASF enabling its workforce to use generative AI & Co – Use cases and enablement” [Human Resources!]

Prof. Dr. Florian Stahl, Universität Mannheim: “The BERD data marketpace: A platform connecting companies, universities and research institutions and fostering the collaboration in research and innovation”

Michael Herter, infas 360: “Data Science für Städte und Kommunen”

Murat Topuz, Deutsche Bank: “Fighting financial crime with data analytics”

Karin Immenroth, RTL: “Mit KI in die datengetriebene Zukunft von RTL Deutschland”

Past Conferences 2018 – 2023

And if you look closely and open the pages of the past conferences form 2018 until 2023 you will not only find the programmes of these, but also the presentations (charts, slides) of almost all speakers as a PDF to download (and in one case as a Google Doc presentation).

Here are some sessions of past conferences:

Dr. Fabian Winter, Munich Re: “Data and Analytics at Munich Re” (2023)

Dr. Heide-Gesa Löhlein & Ibrahim Gökce, Telekom: “Personalization in Telecommunications: Mission Impossible?” (2023)

Christian Most, Lufthansa Group: “The Beauty of Complexity: Decision Support in Operations Steering” (2023)

Peter Mayer, Volkswagen AG: “Applying Computer Vision at Volkswagen Group IT” (2022)

Dr. Anca-Oxana Tudoran & Manuel Jockenhöfer, ProSiebenSat.1: “Data Science in the Media” (2022)

Ralph Müller-Eiselt, Bertelsmann Stiftung: „Wir und die Algorithmen – Beziehungsstatus: kompliziert” (2020)

Dr. Sebastian Fischer, Telekom Innovation Laboratories: „Lieber künstlich intelligent als natürlich dumm” (2020)

Dr. Urs Bergmann, Zalando: „Generative models in e-commerce” (2020)

Dominik Koch, Teradata: „The Data Scientists Survival Guide: 10 things that might save your next analytical project” (2020)

Dr. Stephanie Thiemichen, TÜV Süd: „Thinking outside of the box – building reliable and scalable data analytics products” (2020)

Final words

As said above you can find all sessions and many slides of the conferences 2018 bis 2023 on the website of the German Data Science Days. So check it out!

And remember: The next edition takes place in a couple of weeks in March 2024. So you may consider to visit this exiting data science event.

I wish you a pretty start in the new week!

Final words

As you can see we have again a fine line-up at the Zukunft Personal Europe 2023 in Rhine metropolis Köln. Last year I watched among other sessions for example a nice HR Analytics case study from Wuppertaler Stadtwerke (or WSW, a local energy and public transport company), met some interesting new and known people, and had generally a great time on my two days there.

Check the HR expo for yourself and make up your own schedule with the app: It is easy and thus you will not miss a session (and are aware of crossing times).

And if you will be at the Zukunft Personal Europe in Cologne in the middle of September, and like to meet and exchange thoughts on artificial intelligence in HRM, People & HR Analytics, skills and digital assessment, then drop me a short message and / or connect via LinkedIn.

I am looking forward for exiting days and meeting you.

Have a good day and all the best!

People Analytics: Düsseldorf Data Science Meetup at trivago

Great Talk: HR Data Science / People Analytics at trivago in Düsseldorf on August 29, 2023!

Dear guest!

I am looking forward to attend the next meeting of the Düsseldorf Data Science Meetup Group at trivago (LinkedIn Profil) on Tuesday, August 29, 2023, with its exiting title “Let’s learn about PyFixest and salary prediction models”.

Time and location: 6.30 pm to 9 pm at their outstanding headquarters (since 2018) in the Medienhafen at Kesselstraße 5-7, 40221 Düsseldorf.

The first speaker is going to be Alexander Fischer from trivago talking about PyFixest as well as ChatGPT and Copilot in helping code development.

After him Michael Matuschek and Tim Elfrink from StepStone Deutschland (LinkedIn Profil) hit the stage and take the mic. They will share their experiences with The World of Salary: Introducing Salary Prediction Models.

Since I was busy the last weeks and failed to mark my calendar, I almost missed a spot at this meetup (oh no!). But fortunately I could save a place at the end – together with 80 attendees (and 18 on the waitlist today). Thanks for a post by co-organizer Aida Orujova!

So I am exited learning about interesting case studies in HR Data Science / People Analytics from two international companies based in my birthplace.

For more information and further meetings check out this website: https://www.meetup.com/dusseldorf-data-science-meetup/events/295307371/
