Perspectives on modern data analytics
By Eric Knorr - Editor in Chief, CIO | APR 12,
2021 3:00 AM PDT
Some things don't change, even during a
pandemic. Consistent with previous years, in
CIO’s 2021 State of the CIO survey, a plurality of
the 1,062 IT leaders surveyed chose
“data/business analytics” as the No.1 tech
initiative expected to drive IT investment.
Unfortunately, analytics initiatives seldom do
nearly as well when it comes to stakeholder
satisfaction.
Last year, CIO contributor Mary K. Pratt offered
an excellent analysis of why data analytics
initiatives still fail, including poor-quality or siloed
data, vague rather than targeted business
objectives, and clunky one-size-fits-all feature
sets. But a number of fresh approaches and
technologies are making these pratfalls less
likely.
(...)
New technology invariably incurs new risks. No
advancement has had more momentous impact
on analytics than machine learning – from
automating data prep to detecting meaningful
patterns in data – but it also adds an unforeseen
hazard. As CSO Senior Writer Lucian Constantin
explains in "How data poisoning attacks corrupt
machine learning models," deliberately skewed
data injected by malicious hackers can tilt models toward some nefarious goal. The result could be,
say, manipulated product recommendations, or
even the ability for hackers to infer confidential
underlying data.
(...)
In the end, the secret to successful analytics is
not in choosing and implementing the perfect
technology, but in cultivating a broad
understanding that pervasive analytics yields
better decisions and superior outcomes. Usually,
you can iron out technology kinks or
requirements misunderstandings. But if you can't
change the mindset, few will use the beautiful
analytics machine you just built.

The adjective “pervasive” in pervasive
analytics could be replaced by the adjective
“extensive” without a change in meaning in
the aforementioned context.

General observation suggests that it is those who start to
learn English after their school years who are most likely to have
serious difficulties in acquiring intelligible pronunciation, with
the degree of difficulty increasing markedly with age. This
difficulty has nothing to do with intelligence or level of
education, or even with knowledge of English grammar and
vocabulary.
Of course, there is no simple answer to why pronunciation
is so difficult to learn — indeed, there is a whole range of
theoretical perspectives on the question. What is generally
accepted among psycholinguists and phonologists who
specialized in this area is that the difficulty in learning to
pronounce a foreign language is cognitive rather than physical,
and that it has something to do with the way “raw sound” is
categorized or conceptualized in using speech.
Many learners of English as a second language have major
difficulties with English pronunciation even after years of
learning the language. This often results in them facing
difficulties in areas such as finding employment. Up to a certain
proficiency standard, the fault which most severely impairs the
communication process in EFL/ESL learners is pronunciation,
not vocabulary or grammar.

The history of language study illustrates widely divergent
attitudes concerning the relationship between writing and speech.
Written language was the medium of literature, and, thus, a
source of standards of linguistic excellence. It was felt to provide
language with permanence and authority. The rules of grammar
were, accordingly, illustrated exclusively from written texts.
The everyday spoken language, by contrast, was ignored
or condemned as an object unworthy of study, demonstrating
only lack of care and organization. It was said to have no rules,
and speakers were left under the illusion that, in order to “speak
properly”, it was necessary to follow the “correct” norms, as laid
down in the recognized grammar books and manuals of written
style.
There was sporadic criticism of this viewpoint throughout
the 19th century, but it was not until the 20th century that an
alternative approach became widespread. This approach pointed
out that speech is many thousands of years older than writing;
that it develops naturally in children (whereas writing has to be
artificially taught); and that writing systems are derivative —
mostly based on sounds of speech.

Whatever training is given there should always be a
permanent concern about the naturalness and spontaneity of
everyday speech rather than an artificial sound production for the
sake of preserving a “correct” pronunciation.
This is, in fact, a crucial issue, since if too much care is
demanded from the student, this may turn out to be an
undesirable blockage to another more important factor, namely,
fluency. Perhaps, and even worse, if over-careful pronunciation
habits are developed, this will certainly cause difficulties for the
oral comprehension, as the students will expect to hear sounds,
words and utterances the way they personally produce them.

Teachers sometimes assume that more outgoing learners
will be able to learn pronunciation better than shyer students, and
there may be some truth to this. Confident students might speak
more and be more willing to try new sounds, and this extra
practice could help them improve their pronunciation. However,
this improvement is certainly not guaranteed. Some outgoing
students may be producing a lot of language, but they may also
be jumping ahead without paying attention to the accuracy of
their pronunciation. If listeners are impressed by their fluency
and accept their imperfect pronunciation, they have no way to
know that they need to improve.
Some more introverted students might actually be
thinking carefully about sounds and practicing “within
themselves,” even if they don’t speak much in class. Don’t
underestimate the quiet students. Appreciate the strengths and
possibilities of all your students and encourage everyone. All
students can learn and improve in their own way.
Another aspect of personality that can affect pronunciation
is the degree to which a person is willing or able to change the
way they sound. Most of us have been speaking and listening to
language in the same, familiar way since we learned to talk. Our
voice and our pronunciation are a central part of the way we see
ourselves. It can be uncomfortable, and possibly even
frightening, to try out unfamiliar sounds and melodies of
language. For some people this process seems like a small bump
on the road, but for others, it’s a serious roadblock.

thinking carefully about sounds and practicing “within
themselves,” even if they don’t speak much in class. Don’t

Another aspect of personality that can affect pronunciation
is the degree to which a person is willing or able to change the
way they sound. Most of us have been speaking and listening to
language in the same, familiar way since we learned to talk. Our
voice and our pronunciation are a central part of the way we see
ourselves. It can be uncomfortable, and possibly even
frightening, to try out unfamiliar sounds and melodies of
language. For some people this process seems like a small bump
on the road, but for others, it’s a serious roadblock.
