When participating online, individuals draw on the limited cues they have available to create for themselves an imagined audience (Litt, 2012). Such audiences shape users’ social media practices, and thus the expression of identity online (Marwick & boyd, 2011). In this research we posed the following questions: (1) how do scholars conceptualize their audiences when participating on social media, and (2) how does that conceptualization impact their self-expression online? By answering these questions, we aim to provide a more nuanced picture of scholars’ social media practices and experiences. The audiences imagined by the scholars we interviewed appear to be well defined rather than the nebulous constructions often described in previous studies (e.g. Brake, 2012; Vitak, 2012). While scholar indicated that some audiences were unknown, none noted that their audience was unfamiliar. This study also shows that a misalignment exists between the audiences that scholars imagine encountering online and the audiences that higher education institutions imagine their scholars encountering online.

Ways to stay connected: Harnessing, managing, and preventing context collapse...Stefanie Duguay
Social media sites, such as Facebook, present the potential for people to organise connections with acquaintances from all walks of life within a single site. This can lead to context collapse, a flattening of the boundaries that generally separate audiences for self-expression. Drawing on literature about young people’s social media use and my research with LGBTQ early adults, I will discuss how context collapse is experienced as an event through which individuals can intentionally redefine themselves across audiences or manage identity expressions received by unintended audiences. Possible strategies for reinstating contexts on social media will also be explored in this presentation.
This presentation is about my MSc research relating to the way that multiple groups of acquaintances on social networking sites, such as Facebook, can create environments ripe for context collapse - untailored identity performances to unintended audiences.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

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.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
26. Maybe, but likely not. Twitter can
facilitate communication at a much
larger level as well, such as with
national protests

27. But why use Twitter for personal
messaging or group messaging as
your communication medium?
28. It’s free, personal, and quick; messages
(or tweets) are transmitted over a
variety of open web channels as well
as over SMS on mobile devices

29. And don’t forget how fast important
messages can spread. Re-tweeting
powers viral messages!

30. Moreover, by adding a “hashtag”
#tagslooklikethis to a tweet,
messages are easy to organize and
track to keep interested parties in
sync
31. 4) It’s no wonder Twitter is used for
connecting live and
conversing at events
32. People at the same events, such as
concerts, speeches, conferences, and
presentations, can read and share
tweets about that event
57. I think you are starting to understand
how Twitter can help you connect
and get value from the immense
amount of information out there
58. Yeah, I guess I can see why a personal
Twitter account might be handy, but
why would my business need an
account?
59. There are lots of Twitter uses for
businesses...but lets save that topic
for next time since that’s a whole
other conversation!
60. Sure, in the mean time, what if I have
more questions for you?
