Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

2. 1
A prisoner was attempting to escape from a tower.
He found a rope in his cell that was half as long
enough to permit him to reach the ground safely.
He divided the rope in half, tied the two parts
together, and escaped.
How could he have done this?
3. 2
What are the next three numbers in this series?
4, 6, 12, 18, 30, 42, 60, 72, 102, 108, ?, ?, ?
4. 3
A group of 100 soldiers suffered the following
injuries in a battle: 70 soldiers lost an eye, 75 lost
an ear, 85 lost a leg, and 80 lost an arm.
What is the minimum number of soldiers who
must have lost all 4?
5. 4
A man who lives on the tenth floor takes the
elevator down to the first floor every morning and
goes to work. In the evening, when he comes
back; on a rainy day, or if there are other people in
the elevator, he goes to his floor directly.
Otherwise, he goes to the seventh floor and walks
up three flights of stairs to his apartment.
Can you explain why?
6. 5
Four people come to a river in the night. There is
a narrow bridge, but it can only hold two people at
a time. They have one torch and, because it's
night, the torch has to be used when crossing the
bridge. Person A can cross the bridge in 1
minute, B in 2 minutes, C in 5 minutes, and D in 8
minutes. When two people cross the bridge
together, they must move at the slower person's
pace.
The question is, can they all get across the
bridge in 15 minutes or less?
7. 6
Your last good ping-pong ball fell down into a
narrow metal pipe imbedded in concrete one foot
deep. How can you get it out undamaged, if all the
tools you have are your tennis paddle, your shoe-
laces, and your plastic water bottle, which does
not fit into the pipe?
8. 7
Who makes it, has no need of it.
Who buys it, has no use for it.
Who uses it can neither see nor feel it.
What is it?
9. 8
BERLIN 200 miles
PARIS 300 miles
ROME 400 miles
AMSTERDAM 300 miles
CARDIFF ??? Miles
How far should it be to Cardiff ?
10. A:
1. He cut the rope lengthwise, and tied the two ends
together.
2. The series lists numbers that are flanked by two
prime numbers. 138 (137 and 139 are prime), 150
(149 and 151 are prime), 180 (179 and 181 are
prime)
3. Add up all the injuries, and you find that 100
soldiers suffered a total of 310 injuries. That total
means that, at a minimum, 100 soldiers (it is, of
course, not 100 soldiers, but 100 as calculation from
310 person-injuries out of 400 possible) lost 3 body
parts, and 10 (the remainder when dividing 310 by
100) must have lost all 4 body parts. (In reality, as
many as 70 may have lost all 4 body parts.)
11. A:
4.) The man is of short stature. He can't reach the
upper elevator buttons, but he can ask people to
push them for him. He can also push them with his
umbrella!
5.)A and B cross forward, taking 2 minutes. A
returns, taking 1 minute. C and D cross forward,
taking 8 minutes. B returns, taking 2 minutes. A and
B cross forward, taking 2 minutes!
6.)All you have to do is pour some water into the
pipe so that the ball swims up on the surface!
7.) A Coffin!
8.) 100 miles. Each vowel is worth 300 and each
consonant -100. Each city gives the distance!
