The analog data assimilation
In light of growing interest in data-driven methods for oceanic, atmospheric, and climate sciences, this work focuses on the field of data assimilation and presents the analog data assimilation (AnDA). The proposed framework produces a reconstruction of the system dynamics in a fully data-driven manner where no explicit knowledge of the dynamical model is required. Instead, a representative catalog of trajectories of the system is assumed to be available. Based on this catalog, the analog data assimilation combines the nonparametric sampling of the dynamics using analog forecasting methods with ensemble-based assimilation techniques. This study explores different analog forecasting strategies and derives both ensemble Kalman and particle filtering versions of the proposed analog data assimilation approach. Numerical experiments are examined for two chaotic dynamical systems: the Lorenz-63 and Lorenz-96 systems. The performance of the analog data assimilation is discussed with respect to classical model-driven assimilation. A Matlab toolbox and Python library of the AnDA are provided to help further research building upon the present findings.Fil: Lguensat, Redouane.

Cognitive system to achieve human-level accuracy in automated assignment of helpdesk email tickets
Ticket assignment/dispatch is a crucial part of service delivery business
with lot of scope for automation and optimization. In this paper, we present an
end-to-end automated helpdesk email ticket assignment system, which is also
offered as a service. The objective of the system is to determine the nature of
the problem mentioned in an incoming email ticket and then automatically
dispatch it to an appropriate resolver group (or team) for resolution.
The proposed system uses an ensemble classifier augmented with a configurable
rule engine. While design of classifier that is accurate is one of the main
challenges, we also need to address the need of designing a system that is
robust and adaptive to changing business needs. We discuss some of the main
design challenges associated with email ticket assignment automation and how we
solve them. The design decisions for our system are driven by high accuracy,
coverage, business continuity, scalability and optimal usage of computational
resources.
Our system has been deployed in production of three major service providers
and currently assigning over 40,000 emails per month, on an average, with an
accuracy close to 90% and covering at least 90% of email tickets. This
translates to achieving human-level accuracy and results in a net saving of
about 23000 man-hours of effort per annum
Physics with Coherent Matter Waves
This review discusses progress in the new field of coherent matter waves, in
particular with respect to Bose-Einstein condensates. We give a short
introduction to Bose-Einstein condensation and the theoretical description of
the condensate wavefunction. We concentrate on the coherence properties of this
new type of matter wave as a basis for fundamental physics and applications.
The main part of this review treats various measurements and concepts in the
physics with coherent matter waves. In particular we present phase manipulation
methods, atom lasers, nonlinear atom optics, optical elements, interferometry
and physics in optical lattices. We give an overview of the state of the art in
the respective fields and discuss achievements and challenges for the future
