Invited Talk: DataBench Toolbox – supporting Big Data and AI Benchmarking
Dr. Arne J. Berre (Chief Scientist, SINTEF Digital), Tomás Pariente Lobo (Associate Head of AI, Data & Robotics Unit, Atos), Dr. Todor Ivanov (Senior consultant at Lead Consult)
Abstract: The DataBench Toolbox offers support for big data and AI benchmarking based on existing efforts in the benchmarking community. The DataBench framework is based on classification of benchmarks using a generic pipeline structure for Big Data and AI pipelines related to the Big Data Value Association (BDVA) Reference Model and the ISO SC42 AI Framework. Based on existing efforts in big data benchmarking and enabling inclusion of new benchmarks that could arise in the future, the DataBench Toolbox provides an environment to search, select and deploy big data benchmarking tools, giving the possibility to identify technical metrics and, also relate to and derive business KPIs for an organization, in order to support evidence Based Big Data and AI Benchmarking to improve Business Performance The Handbook and the DataBench toolbox are essential components of the DataBench project results. The DataBench Toolbox is a software tool which will provide access to benchmarking services, KPIs and various types of knowledge: the DataBench Handbook plays a complementary role to the Toolbox by providing a comprehensive view of the benchmarks referenced in the Toolbox, of how technical and business benchmarking can be linked. The DataBench Handbook and Toolbox are aimed at industrial users and technology developers who need to make informed decisions on Big Data and AI Technologies investments by optimizing technical and business performance.
