TechBytes with Nishant Khatri, VP Product Management, PubMatic – #ProgrammaticAdvertising is continuing to become the dominant force in digital #GOOD.ca $TTD $RUBI $AT.ca $TRMR $FUEL

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 11:00 AM on Wednesday, July 18th, 2018
  • In a programmatic ecosystem, the rise of header-bidding and fraud control measures is unprecedented and attracts more eyeballs than any other ad tech solution
  • Programmatic Advertising is continuing to become the dominant force in digital

In a programmatic ecosystem, the rise of header-bidding and fraud control measures is unprecedented and attracts more eyeballs than any other ad tech solution. Owning your programmatic solutions offers incredible benefits. Last month, leading SSP for digital advertising, PubMatic, unveiled the PubMatic Cloud for Publishers and tech companies. This would enable PubMatic’s customers to achieve full transparency and achieve greater control over their programmatic monetization. Nishant Khatri, VP, Product Management, PubMatic discusses the company’s short and long-term product roadmap and few key takeaways from the recently published PubMatic Quarterly Mobile Index (QMI) Q1 2018.

Tell us about your role at PubMatic and the team and technology you handle.

I have been with PubMatic since 2015 and currently serve as VP of Product Management. I oversee the teams that focus on developing solutions for header bidding and wrappers, ad serving, quality (both ad and inventory quality), as well as mobile advertising.

What is the state of automation for Digital Advertising? What does your product roadmap for 2018-2020 look like?

Programmatic advertising is continuing to become the dominant force in digital advertising, with eMarketer estimating that four in five US digital display dollars will be spent on automated channels in 2017. Much of this growth is the result of brand ad budgets flowing to digital. The market shift has also resulted in the digital ad tech ecosystem moving towards a focus on transparency, quality, and publisher control. Additionally, we are seeing a move towards automation to further address these industry-wide concerns. In order to scale effectively, digital advertising will see a continued move towards automating critical processes to maintain compliance, improve analytics and more.

At PubMatic, we are continuing to address the changing market needs with products that help publishers and advertisers prepare for the automated and programmatic future. Our roadmap includes growth in existing technology, such as header bidding for more channels; investment in partnerships with MRC-accredited vendors to ensure ad and inventory quality; development of automated tools to improve our clients’ ease of use; and of course, innovating solutions for the future needs of digital advertising.

What are the key takeaways for advertisers from your recently published PubMatic Quarterly Mobile Index (QMI) Q1 2018?

Our most recent QMI shows that in-app and video monetization are the most important areas of opportunity for publishers and advertisers in the next 12-18 months, given that consumer interest and engagement is highest for those categories.

For in-app, our data showed quick growth in-app advertising last quarter. In reviewing PubMatic’s inventory, the US saw the largest growth with an increase of 90% YOY in Q1. The verticals that saw the most growth, up to triple-growth rates, were technology, news, and entertainment and leisure.

PubMatic expects video monetization to become more mobile-driven. Mobile video ad spend in Spain, Australia and the US, for instance, rose by double-digit rates in Q1 2018. However, given the growing number of mobile video viewers in markets like India, for example, we expect to see significant mobile video ad spend growth in more nascent markets soon.

How could marketing teams better utilize these findings to improve their customer conversions from mobile advertising?

The Q1 2018 QMI highlights the relevance mobile devices hold for marketers. In fact, mobile app impressions monetized through the PubMatic platform rose 84% YOY worldwide in Q1 2018, tripling the 28% YOY growth in mobile web volume.

Marketing teams should continue to focus on the mobile experience, particularly personalization, connectivity and protection of battery life when using the app. With the projected continued growth for mobile app use, a positive user experience will be vital to increased customer conversions.

Tell us about PubMatic Cloud?

PubMatic Cloud is a newly released customizable platform-as-a-service (PaaS) that provides publishers the benefits of a proprietary solution, out of the box. This platform was developed in response to the industry-wide trend we are seeing of publishers bringing programmatic technology in-house. In fact, AdWeek estimates 86% of brands plan to take some of their programmatic spend in-house in the coming months.

While this could result in more publisher control and auction transparency, it presents new risks of inefficient rev share models and taxing internal resources to maintain the technology. PubMatic Cloud offers publishers an alternative, quickly providing a fully-supported and DSP-integrated programmatic solution. It allows publishers full transparency, complete control of user experience and a more efficient infrastructure to improve monetization.

To what extent can digital advertising analytics further boost ad-driven sales?

Analytics is the backbone for marketing technology, especially when it comes to programmatic advertising. We believe analytics empower advertisers to make smarter decisions with real-time intelligence, visibility into campaign performance, and easy-to-use reporting that can improve return-on-ad spend (ROAS). PubMatic also makes detailed information available on the success of advertising tactics across ad formats, channels and screens. These real-time insights allow advertisers to optimize transactions and improve monetization.

How do you work with Data Science and AI/ML to improve your adtech platform?

We use data science and machine learning to develop complex algorithms to solve difficult non-linear problems. The focus is on real-time bidding related problems including recommendations for the best floor value for publishers, bid throttling, predicting traffic, and estimating unique users.

We use data science and machine learning techniques to look at large amounts of data to solve these problems. PubMatic collects the appropriate data, transforms it, researches algorithms, develops and studies prototypes and models, and then we produce solutions. There is always a trade-off to make between the research we do in developing algorithms and the production of the solutions. Finding this balance, and future-enabling our platform with these processes, allows us to provide quality experiences for our partners.

Thanks for chatting with us, Nishant.

Bank of America $BAC Reveals #Blockchain Patent for External Data Validation, Cites Need for ‘Accurate Indication’ of Financial Standing $SX $SX.ca $SXOOF $IDK.ca $AAO.ca $HPQ.ca $HIVE.ca $BLOC.ca $CODE.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 9:58 AM on Wednesday, July 18th, 2018
  • Bank of America (BoA) has filed a patent for a blockchain-based system allowing the external validation of data, according to a United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) patent filing released July 17.
  • BoA’s patent filing proposes using blockchain for tracking resource information and confirming resource transfers, noting that

“A need currently exists for providing a more accurate indication of a user’s financial standing by allowing external validation of data in a process data network.”

The patent describes how the system would record information on the blockchain based on “aggregated information associated with past transfer of resources executed by an entity,” and would update the information on the blockchain with each new transaction activity.

In April, the USPTO had published another patent from BoA for a blockchain-based storage system. According to Fortune, BoA currently has 45 live patents related to blockchain pending, with the bank’s CTO noting that the amassing of patents allows the bank to be “prepared.”

At the same time, the BoA has become infamous for its distaste for cryptocurrency, in May calling Bitcoin (BTC) “troubling” while upholding a previous decision to ban its customers from purchasing crypto using credit cards.

Despite its apparent foresight in the blockchain sphere, BoA is not without its competitors, Mastercard this week unveiling a patent of its own allowing transactions of what it calls “blockchain currencies.”

American Creek $AMK.ca Reports That Drilling Has Commenced on the Treaty Creek Property Located in B.C.’s Golden Triangle $SEA $SA $SKE.ca $TUD.ca $PVG $MRO.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 9:04 AM on Wednesday, July 18th, 2018

  • Reports the commencement of a significant drill program on the Treaty Creek Project, immediately adjacent to and in the same hydrothermal system as Seabridge Gold’s KSM property and Pretium’s high-grade Brucejack mine
  • Treaty Creek has similar geophysical, geological, and structural signatures to its neighbours with potential for similar scale

Cardston, Alberta–(Newsfile Corp. – July 18, 2018) – American Creek Resources Ltd. (TSXV: AMK) (OTC Pink: ACKRF) (the “Corporation”) is pleased to report the commencement of a significant drill program on the Treaty Creek Project, immediately adjacent to and in the same hydrothermal system as Seabridge Gold’s KSM property (largest gold deposit in the world by reserves) and Pretium’s high-grade Brucejack mine. Treaty Creek has similar geophysical, geological, and structural signatures to its neighbours with potential for similar scale.

The 2017 Copper Belle zone resource delineation program comprised 27 drill holes with intercepts containing long intervals of gold mineralization (an estimated 13,722m total). A block of delineated mineralization from all historical drilling will form the basis for a preliminary resource estimate. Another 8 to 16 holes to depths of greater than 700 m are recommended in order to publish a preliminary resource estimate.

A geophysical (MT/mag) anomaly under Copper Belle (B in Figure 1) shows a strong continuation of mineralized structure that is open to the north, west and to depth. This was verified in the 2017 drill results and supports the priority focus for 2018 drilling on the Copper Belle extensions. The Konkin Zone MT/mag anomaly (A in Figure 1) is another high priority exploratory drill target that previously generated 870 g/t Au over a 1.2m channel sample.

Walter Storm, President and CEO of Tudor Gold, commented (June 4th, 2018): “Our first priority now is to complete the work for our resource estimate followed by drilling other exciting targets confirmed by Simcoe Geoscience. The consolidated geophysical survey that combined acquired data from Magnetotellurics (MT), magnetometer (Mag) and electromagnetic (EM) surveys has provided Tudor with several high priority anomalous drill targets. We expect that this summer’s drill program will be very busy.”

The 2016 Magnetotelluric geophysical survey program (“MT Survey”) was effectively utilized as a guide for the drill program. The MT Survey suggests that the mineralization continues to the southwest, toward the Iron Cap deposit of Seabridge Gold Inc. The MT Survey also suggests that the mineralized zone is open along strike and to depth.

Simcoe Geoscience has previously provided the Magnetotelluric surveys and interpretive guidance for Seabridge Gold and Pretium Resources in targeting what have developed into world-class discoveries on these neighbouring properties.

More Core Diamond Drilling Services of Stewart B.C. (owner Sean Pownall) will carry out all the diamond drilling and will manage the camp activities in 2018. More Core has extensive experience drilling on the Treaty Creek claims having conducted successful programs previously for both Tudor Gold and prior rights holders. Also, once again, Tudor has selected Yellowhead Helicopters Ltd. (YHL) to provide service. YHL has provided safe and efficient service for the Treaty program for the past two years.

The Treaty Creek Project is a joint venture between Tudor, Teuton Resources Corp., and American Creek. Tudor is the operator and holds a 60% interest with both American Creek and Teuton each holding respective 20% carried interests in the property (fully carried until a production notice is given).

About American Creek

American Creek holds a strong portfolio of gold and silver properties in British Columbia. The portfolio includes three Golden Triangle gold/silver properties; the Treaty Creek and Electrum joint ventures with Walter Storm/Tudor as well as the recently acquired 100% owned past producing Dunwell Mine. Other properties held throughout BC include the Gold Hill, Austruck-Bonanza, Ample Goldmax, Silver Side, and Glitter King.

  • Online Education in India: 2021’, a comprehensive report prepared by KPMG in India and Google points out that the online education market in India is slated to witness an eight-fold growth by 2021
  • There is already a rise in the number of e-learning companies offering classroom supplement solutions and solutions for competitive examinations
  • Coming years will witness a further rise

The K—12 education sector has undergone an overhaul in the last decade. Although, technology has made inroads into the sector with the promise of actively engaging students in the learning process, thereby, improving learning outcomes and reducing teachers’ repetitive tasks, its huge potential has not been fully realised yet.

Students need to have more agency in their learning process. Teachers are still largely the sole disseminators of knowledge. But with technology intervention, the scenario could undergo a huge transformation and the teacher would become more of a facilitator in the entire teaching-learning gamut.

The increasing role of technology 

Online learning

Online Education in India: 2021’, a comprehensive report prepared by KPMG in India and Google points out that the online education market in India is slated to witness an eight-fold growth by 2021. There is already a rise in the number of e-learning companies offering classroom supplement solutions and solutions for competitive examinations.  And the coming years will witness a further rise.

  • Anytime, anywhere learning

This trend allows students to learn anytime from anywhere ensuring learning is no longer limited to the four walls of a classroom. Students can learn from the comforts of their home or while strolling in the park. This allows learners to explore their interests more. For instance, in the conventional scenario, a learner can approach the teacher only during school hours to clarify any doubts. However, many online learning platforms have doubt clarification sessions that allow students to clarify their doubts instantly.

  • Peer learning

Online learning opens the door for student collaboration. In a classroom, teachers are often pressed for time and there are not many opportunities for students to learn from one another. However, online learning platforms have a dedicated learning community where students can help each other learn. They can collaborate on projects, clarify each other’s doubts or discuss projects. This helps them gain a fresh perspective on topics and learn concepts anew.

Making learning more engaging

One of the reasons technological intervention in the K-12 sector is successful is because of its great potential to make educational content engaging and interesting. Thanks to 2D and 3D technology, digital content has made itself a useful resource for both students and teachers. Theory in itself is not enough to make students understand concepts. Digital content due to its interactive nature is easy to grasp. Students are able to understand and retain concepts better. In the near future, we would see a proliferation of content using technologies such as Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR) and Mixed Reality (MR).

Artificial Intelligence

Compared to other sectors like health and infrastructure, technology has been a late entrant in the education sector due to which the impact of artificial intelligence is also be bound to be delayed. But it has immense potential to improve the learning outcomes in the education sector.

Adaptive learning – This is a unique learning solution powered by artificial intelligence, where the learning path is personalised for each learner based on interactions with learners.  It suggests a series of assessments and study materials, to each learner to mitigate his/her learning gaps and meet their individual learning objectives.  This personalised way of learning enables learners to study at their own pace and as per their own ability. Thus, a personalised learning experience engages students effectively in their own learning.

Besides the advent of technology, the education sector has also witnessed a change in the approach towards teaching and learning in the last decade.

Focus away rote learning to building 21st century skills

Not everything is bad about rote learning, but it should not be an end in itself. Learning should focus on preparing students for their professional life. In the coming years, we will see the emergence of a curriculum that will emphasize on hands-on activities, experiential learning and more. The emphasis will not just be on acquiring skills and knowledge but also on the process of learning which will be more student-centric.

Importance of coding 

Coding involves writing programs for the creation of computer software, websites and apps. Realizing the indispensable nature of coding in today’s tech-savvy world, the concept is introduced right at the kindergarten level in many countries. . Although, the children are not taught traditional programming languages, they are introduced to fundamental programming concepts, such as sequencing, loops and conditionals, through exciting activities. Besides developing programming skills, coding also helps students develop 21st century skills – creativity, collaboration, communication and critical-thinking.

Alleviating the burden on teachers 

Technology can be a great teaching ally too. The existing digital content helps teachers engage the classroom effectively. In the coming years, we will see a rise in the incorporation of Learning Management System (LMS) into the K-12 sector. LMS aids in planning and delivering education course and also tracking its delivery. An LMS will help a teacher plan the curriculum in-depth and also track the learning progress. The detailed reports will inform teachers about the deviations encountered in the well-defined learning path so that action can be taken to mitigate these deviations.

There has been a rise in e-learning content. However, a major part of the available content is ineffective in engaging students and improving learning outcomes. Thus, parameters to evaluate content will have to be set. The role of government bodies is paramount in promoting such initiatives.

Thus it can be inferred that in the next few years, the k-12 sector will witness improved learning outcomes. It will be able to provide an environment conducive to increased student engagement and improved teacher performance.

  • Reported first set of results from 30,000-metre 2018 drilling program at the Beaufor Mine
  • All four intersected QF1 structure, including Hole 18-124-92, which intersected 20.62 g/t Au over 3.95 metres, including 111.00 g/t Au over 0.70 metres

Exploration drilling continues to indicate strong gold potential at the Beaufor Mine

MONTREAL, July 17, 2018 – MONARQUES GOLD CORPORATION (“Monarques” or the “Corporation”) (TSX.V:MQR) (OTCMKTS:MRQRF) (FRANKFURT:MR7) is pleased to report the first set of results from its 30,000-metre 2018 drilling program at the Beaufor Mine. The current results are from nine exploration holes totalling 2,047 metres of drilling on the QF1 and 1700 projects (see composite schematic section).

QF1 project
The QF1 veins lie some 70 metres from the lower contact of Zone Q, the main zone currently in production at the Beaufor Mine. The current program aims to test the continuity of this structure over an extension of about 500 metres in the West, Central and East sectors, outside the known resource.

Four holes totalling 711 metres were drilled in the West sector. All four intersected the QF1 structure, including Hole 18-124-92, which intersected 20.62 g/t Au over 3.95 metres, including 111.00 g/t Au over 0.70 metres. This zone consists of two quartz-tourmaline veins 176 cm and 24 cm thick, containing 1% and 15% pyrite, respectively, within a chloritized, silicified, albitized granodiorite.

“The results of this first round of drilling in 2018 shows strong gold potential in the Zone Q footwall,” said Jean-Marc Lacoste, President and Chief Executive Officer of Monarques. “This strengthens our sense that the mineral resource can be increased in this area. The next round of drilling, which is now underway, will test the three sectors of the QF1 structure, namely the West, Central and East.”

1700 project
Five holes were drilled in the 1700 project area for a total of 1,336 metres. All the holes intersected veins/veinlets and mineralization north of a major shear striking approximately 80°N.

The best results were obtained in holes 18-173-13 and 18-173-15, which returned grades of 12.05 g/t Au over 0.50 metres and 5.10 g/t Au over 3.05 metres. The mineralized intersections consist of quartz-tourmaline veinlets containing trace to 5% pyrite.

These holes confirm the vertical and lateral extension of a mineralized lens containing several veins and veinlets near the north contact of a shear, a structure that appears to be similar to the West Shear, known to be the main conductor for the gold at the Beaufor Mine. The western extension of the shear and the mineralized lenses is still not well understood.

Quality control and qualified person
Sampling normally consists of sawing the core into two equal halves along its main axis and shipping one of the halves to Val-d’Or for assaying at the ALS Geochemistry laboratory, which is fully accredited under ISO 17025. The samples are crushed, pulverized and assayed by fire assay with atomic absorption finish. Results exceeding 10.0 g/t are re-assayed using the gravity method. Certified standards and blanks are inserted into the sampling stream for quality control purposes.

The technical and scientific content of this press release has been reviewed and approved by Élise Bourgault, P.Geo., the Corporation’s qualified person under National Instrument 43‑101.
