    Meet the expert panel

    Roshini Johri heads ESG Analytics at HSBC, where she leads AI and remote sensing applications supporting the bank’s net zero goals. Her expertise spans climate tech and financial services, with a focus on scalable analytics solutions.

     

    Marco Li Mandri leads Advanced Analytics Strategy at ING, where he focuses on delivering high-impact solutions and strengthening analytics foundations. His background combines analytics, KYC operations, and AI strategy.

     

    Carmen Soini Tourres works as a Web Analyst Consultant at Matomo, helping financial organisations optimise their digital presence whilst maintaining privacy compliance.

     

    Key findings from the webinar

    The discussion highlighted four essential elements for advancing analytics capabilities :

    1. Strong data foundations matter most

    “It doesn’t matter how good the AI model is. It is garbage in, garbage out,”

    Johri explained. Banks need robust data governance that works across different regulatory environments.

    2. Transform rather than tweak

    Li Mandri emphasised the need to reconsider entire processes :

    “We try to look at the banking domain and processes and try to re-imagine how they should be done with AI.”

    3. Bridge technical and business understanding

    Both leaders stressed the value of analytics translators who understand both technology and business needs.

    “We’re investing in this layer we call product leads,”

    Li Mandri explained. These roles combine technical knowledge with business acumen – a rare but vital skill set.

    4. Consider production costs early

    Moving from proof-of-concept to production requires careful planning. As Johri noted :

    “The scale of doing things in production is quite massive and often doesn’t get accounted for in the cost.”

    This includes :

    • Ongoing monitoring requirements
    • Maintenance needs
    • Regulatory compliance checks
    • Regular model updates

    Real-world applications

    ING’s approach demonstrates how banks can transform their operations through thoughtful AI implementation. Li Mandri shared several areas where the bank has successfully deployed analytics solutions, each benefiting both the bank and its customers.

    Customer experience enhancement

    The bank’s implementation of AI-powered instant loan processing shows how analytics can transform traditional banking.

    “We know AI can make loans instant for the customer, that’s great. Clicking one button and adding a loan, that really changes things,”

    Li Mandri explained. This goes beyond automation – it represents a fundamental shift in how banks serve their customers.

    The system analyses customer data to make rapid lending decisions while maintaining strong risk assessment standards. For customers, this means no more lengthy waiting periods or complex applications. For the bank, it means more efficient resource use and better risk management.

    The bank also uses AI to personalise customer communications.

    “We’re using that to make certain campaigns more personalised, having a certain tone of voice,”

    noted Li Mandri. This particularly resonates with younger customers who expect relevant, personalised interactions from their bank.

    Operational efficiency transformation

    ING’s approach to Know Your Customer (KYC) processes shows how AI can transform resource-heavy operations.

    “KYC is a big area of cost for the bank. So we see massive value there, a lot of scale,”

    Li Mandri explained. The bank developed an AI-powered system that :

    • Automates document verification
    • Flags potential compliance issues for human review
    • Maintains consistent standards across jurisdictions
    • Reduces processing time while improving accuracy

    This implementation required careful consideration of regulations across different markets. The bank developed monitoring systems to ensure their AI models maintain high accuracy while meeting compliance standards.

    In the back office, ING uses AI to extract and process data from various documents, significantly reducing manual work. This automation lets staff focus on complex tasks requiring human judgment.

    Sustainable finance initiatives

    ING’s commitment to sustainable banking has driven innovative uses of AI in environmental assessment.

    “We have this ambition to be a sustainable bank. If you want to be a sustainable finance customer, that requires a lot of work to understand who the company is, always comparing against its peers.”

    The bank developed AI models that :

    • Analyse company sustainability metrics
    • Compare environmental performance against industry benchmarks
    • Assess transition plans for high-emission industries
    • Monitor ongoing compliance with sustainability commitments

    This system helps staff evaluate the environmental impact of potential deals quickly and accurately.

    “We are using AI there to help our frontline process customers to see how green that deal might be and then use that as a decision point,”

    Li Mandri noted.

    HSBC’s innovative approach

    Under Johri’s leadership, HSBC has developed several groundbreaking uses of AI and analytics, particularly in environmental monitoring and operational efficiency. Their work shows how banks can use advanced technology to address complex global challenges while meeting regulatory requirements.

    Environmental monitoring through advanced technology

    HSBC uses computer vision and satellite imagery analysis to measure environmental impact with new precision.

    “This is another big research area where we look at satellite images and we do what is called remote sensing, which is the study of a remote area,”

    Johri explained.

    The system provides several key capabilities :

    • Analysis of forest coverage and deforestation rates
    • Assessment of biodiversity impact in specific regions
    • Monitoring of environmental changes over time
    • Measurement of environmental risk in lending portfolios

    “We can look at distant images of forest areas and understand how much percentage deforestation is being caused in that area, and we can then measure our biodiversity impact more accurately,”

    Johri noted. This technology enables HSBC to :

    • Make informed lending decisions
    • Monitor environmental commitments of borrowers
    • Support sustainability-linked lending programmes
    • Provide accurate environmental impact reporting

    Transforming document analysis

    HSBC is tackling one of banking’s most time-consuming challenges : processing vast amounts of documentation.

    “Can we reduce the onus of human having to go and read 200 pages of sustainability reports each time to extract answers ?”

    Johri asked. Their solution combines several AI technologies to make this process more efficient while maintaining accuracy.

    The bank’s approach includes :

    • Natural language processing to understand complex documents
    • Machine learning models to extract relevant information
    • Validation systems to ensure accuracy
    • Integration with existing compliance frameworks

    “We’re exploring solutions to improve our reporting, but we need to do it in a safe, robust and transparent way.”

    This careful balance between efficiency and accuracy exemplifies HSBC’s approach to AI.

    Building future-ready analytics capabilities

    Both banks emphasise that successful analytics requires a comprehensive, long-term approach. Their experiences highlight several critical considerations for financial institutions looking to advance their analytics capabilities.

    Developing clear governance frameworks

    “Understanding your AI risk appetite is crucial because banking is a highly regulated environment,”

    Johri emphasised. Banks need to establish governance structures that :

    • Define acceptable uses for AI
    • Establish monitoring and control mechanisms
    • Ensure compliance with evolving regulations
    • Maintain transparency in AI decision-making

    Creating solutions that scale

    Li Mandri stressed the importance of building systems that grow with the organisation :

    “When you try to prototype a model, you have to take care about the data safety, ethical consideration, you have to identify a way to monitor that model. You need model standard governance.”

    Successful scaling requires :

    • Standard approaches to model development
    • Clear evaluation frameworks
    • Simple processes for model updates
    • Strong monitoring systems
    • Regular performance reviews

    Investing in people and skills

    Both leaders highlighted how important skilled people are to analytics success.

    “Having a good hiring strategy as well as creating that data literacy is really important,”

    Johri noted. Banks need to :

    • Develop comprehensive training programmes
    • Create clear career paths for analytics professionals
    • Foster collaboration between technical and business teams
    • Build internal expertise in emerging technologies

    Planning for the future

    Looking ahead, both banks are preparing for increased regulation and growing demands for transparency. Key focus areas include :

    • Adapting to new privacy regulations
    • Making AI decisions more explainable
    • Improving data quality and governance
    • Strengthening cybersecurity measures

    Practical steps for financial institutions

    The experiences shared by HSBC and ING provide valuable insights for financial institutions at any stage of their analytics journey. Their successes and challenges outline a clear path forward.

    Key steps for success

    Financial institutions looking to enhance their analytics capabilities should :

    1. Start with strong foundations
      • Invest in clear data governance frameworks
      • Set data quality standards
      • Build thorough documentation processes
      • Create transparent data tracking
    2. Think strategically about AI implementation
      • Focus on transformative rather than small changes
      • Consider the full costs of AI projects
      • Build solutions that can grow
      • Balance innovation with risk management
    3. Invest in people and processes
      • Develop internal analytics expertise
      • Create clear paths for career growth
      • Foster collaboration between technical and business teams
      • Build a culture of data literacy
    4. Plan for scale
      • Establish monitoring systems
      • Create governance frameworks
      • Develop standard approaches to model development
      • Stay flexible for future regulatory changes

  • How to verify user permissions – Introducing the Piwik Platform

    9 novembre 2014, par Thomas Steur — Development

    This is the next post of our blog series where we introduce the capabilities of the Piwik platform (our previous post was How to make your plugin multilingual). This time you’ll learn how to verify user permissions. For this tutorial you will need to have basic knowledge of PHP and the Piwik platform.

    When should a plugin verify permissions ?

    Usually you want to do this before executing any action – such as deleting or fetching data – and before rendering any sensitive information that should not be accessible by everyone. For instance in an API method or Controller action. You sometimes also need to verify permissions before registering menu items or widgets.

    How does Piwik’s user management work ?

    It is quite simple as it only differentiates between a few roles : View permission, Admin permission and Super User permission. If you manage multiple websites with Piwik a user can be assigned to different roles as a user might have no permission for some websites but view or admin permission for another set of websites.

    Worth mentioning is that roles inherit from each other. This means the role admin automatically includes the role view and a super user automatically covers the view and admin role.

    Getting started

    In this post, we assume that you have already set up your development environment and created a plugin. If not, visit the Piwik Developer Zone where you’ll find the tutorial Setting up Piwik and other Guides that help you to develop a plugin.

    Verifying user permissions

    To protect your data the platform offers many convenient methods in the \Piwik\Piwik class. There you will find methods that either start with check, is or has. While methods that start with check throw an exception in case a condition is not met, the other methods return a boolean true or false.

    Use methods that throw an exception if you want to stop any further execution in case a user does not have an appropriate role. The platform will catch the exception and display an error message or ask the user to log in.

    1. public function deleteAllMessages()
    2. {
    3.     // delete messages only if user has super user access, otherwise show an error message
    4.     Piwik::checkUserSuperUserAccess();
    5.  
    6.     $this-&gt;getModel()-&gt;deleteAllMessages();
    7. }

    Télécharger

    Use methods that return a boolean for instance when registering menu items or widgets.

    1. public function configureAdminMenu(MenuAdmin $menu)
    2. {
    3.     if (Piwik::hasUserSuperUserAccess()) {
    4.         $menu-&gt;addPlatformItem('Plugins', $this-&gt;urlForDefaultAction());
    5.     }
    6. }

    Télécharger

    It is important to be aware that just because the menu item won’t be displayed in the UI a user can still open the registered URL manually. Therefore you have to check for permissions in the actual controller action as well.

    View permission

    A user having a view permission should be only able to view reports but not make any changes apart from his personal settings. The methods that end with UserHasSomeViewAccess make sure a user has at least view permission for one website whereas the methods *UserHasViewAccess($idSites = array(1,2,3)) check whether a user has view access for all of the given websites.

    1. Piwik::checkUserHasSomeViewAccess();
    2.  
    3. Piwik::checkUserHasViewAccess($idSites = array(1,2,3));

    Télécharger

    As a plugin developer you would usually use the latter example to verify the permissions for specific websites. Use the first example in case you develop something like an “All Websites Dashboard” where you only want to make sure the user has a view permission for at least one website.

    Admin permission

    A user having an admin permission cannot only view reports but also change website related settings. The methods to check for this role are similar to the ones before, just swap the term View with Admin.

    1. Piwik::checkUserHasSomeAdminAccess();
    2.  
    3. Piwik::checkUserHasAdminAccess($idSites = array(1,2,3));

    Télécharger

    Super user permission

    A user having the super user permission is allowed to access all of the data stored in Piwik and change any settings. To check if a user has this role use one of the methods that end with UserSuperUserAccess.

    Piwik::checkUserHasSuperUserAccess();

    As a plugin developer you would check for this permission for instance in places where your plugin shows an activity log over all users or where it offers the possibility to change any system wide settings.

    Getting information about the currently logged in user

    Sometimes you might want to know which user is currently logged in. This can be useful if you want to persist user related information in the database or if you want to send an email to the currently logged in user. You can easily get this information by calling the following methods :

    1. $login = Piwik::getCurrentUserLogin()
    2. $email = Piwik::getCurrentUserEmail()

    Télécharger

    Advanced features

    Of course there is more that you can do. For instance you can verify whether a user is an anonymous user or whether a user has a specific role. You can also perform any operation in the context of a super user even if the current user does not have this role. Would you like to know more about those features ? Check out the Piwik class reference, the Security guide and the Manage Users user guide.

    If you have any feedback regarding our APIs or our guides in the Developer Zone feel free to send it to us.

  • MOV to ACVHD conversion via Spring Boot and FFmpeg leads to file system error

    31 décembre 2024, par epicUsername

    I am experiencing an issue on a personal project that seeks to convert HEIC to JPG files and MOV files to AVCHD format. The HEIC to JPG conversion works, but the MOV to AVCHD does not, which is where my problems lie.

    &#xA;

    The intent is to do this with Spring Boot and FFmpeg, using a simple interface done in WindowBuilder.

    &#xA;

    A few caveats :

    &#xA;

      &#xA;
    1. I did explore FFmpeg and GStreamer for this project. GStreamer was inconclusive, with available version for it that were too old for use with my current state of STS4.27 and Java 17, even if this version of Java is under long-term support...

      &#xA;

    2. &#xA;

    3. I've used AI to tell me about the options and suggest ways to build this thing, since multimedia handling is very far away from my skillset. I don't have a good conceptual grasp of video formats and how they transfrom from one to another.

      &#xA;

    4. &#xA;

    &#xA;

    The issue, as I have identified it, occurs at these lines :

    &#xA;

     // Ensure the destination file is writable&#xA;                    if (!destinationFile.canWrite()) {&#xA;                        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Output file is not writable.", "File Error", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);&#xA;                        return;&#xA;                    }&#xA;

    &#xA;

    ^^ And this, while temporarily commented out for testing, it meant to compensate for an issue that occurs here in the conversion function :

    &#xA;

     if ((outputFormatContext.oformat().flags() &amp; avformat.AVFMT_NOFILE) == 0) {&#xA;                // Ensure the output path has the correct extension&#xA;                String outputPath = destinationFile.getAbsolutePath().replace("\\", "/") &#x2B; ".avchd";&#xA;                System.out.println("Normalized output path: " &#x2B; outputPath);&#xA;&#xA;                // Try opening the output file&#xA;                int ret = avformat.avio_open(outputFormatContext.pb(), outputPath, avformat.AVIO_FLAG_WRITE);&#xA;                if (ret &lt; 0) {&#xA;                    BytePointer errorBuffer = new BytePointer(avutil.AV_ERROR_MAX_STRING_SIZE);&#xA;                    avutil.av_strerror(ret, errorBuffer, errorBuffer.capacity());&#xA;                    System.out.println("Failed to open output file: " &#x2B; errorBuffer.getString());&#xA;                    return;&#xA;                }&#xA;            }&#xA;

    &#xA;

    The idea here is that the avio_open() function requires the use of the a valid file path that it can open to be able to write it.

    &#xA;

    Padadoxically, the file conversion seems to work, but the project crashes with a fatal error in the console :

    If I refer to the error log, I get this. It is partial, as I'm not sure SO will take all of it (quite long), but still might have enough to be relevant :

    If anyone has a perspective on this, it'd be appreciated.

    &#xA;

    The catch 22 in this project is that pre-creating the file is not a good idea, since avio_open has a purpose in-built method for that (I tried). Error checking everything about Java's File class in terms of setting pathways and creating and deleting files is not problematic. Likewise, permissions are all fine (Full Control in source and target folders) ; I've tested default C drive folders, which have restritions, to a separate volume and removable media, to no effect. Likewise, FFmpeg requires a forward slash, "/" in file paths, whereas Java does the backslash, generally. That's been handled with the replace method in the above conditioning, also to no effect.

    &#xA;

    The basic contradiction in the project seems to be that the error tries open a file that does not exist, with a valid source and destination file, and if I try to create a placeholder file wiht an acvhd extension at the event handling for the Convert button, it still errors out ; meanwhile, FFmpeg allegedly handles the file creation at its core, but requires a valid path to be passed ; I've tried with and without a filename, with and without an extension. I'm not able to resovle it.

    &#xA;

    The excessive error handling conditions are in an effort to isolate the problem, which I think I've done.

    &#xA;

    There also seems to be a compatibility between mpegts and acvhd, which is why I also had that format specified in the conversion function, without result.

    &#xA;

    I also have the idea to be able to do this without having to install any libraries locally or having to set path variables, which is an aspect that both GStreamer and FFmpeg have.

    &#xA;

    Nearest suggestion I've found is this : integrate ffmpeg with spring boot

    &#xA;

    AI remains hopeless for resolving this issue.
