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.
Slack (or Teams) Automation for Bonterra Impact Management (fka Social Soluti...Jeffrey Haguewood
Sidekick Solutions uses Bonterra Impact Management (fka Social Solutions Apricot) and automation solutions to integrate data for business workflows.
We believe integration and automation are essential to user experience and the promise of efficient work through technology. Automation is the critical ingredient to realizing that full vision. We develop integration products and services for Bonterra Case Management software to support the deployment of automations for a variety of use cases.
This video focuses on the notifications, alerts, and approval requests using Slack for Bonterra Impact Management. The solutions covered in this webinar can also be deployed for Microsoft Teams.

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.
Let's dive deeper into the world of ODC! Ricardo Alves (OutSystems) will join us to tell all about the new Data Fabric. After that, Sezen de Bruijn (OutSystems) will get into the details on how to best design a sturdy architecture within ODC.
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.

Welcome to UiPath Test Automation using UiPath Test Suite series part 4. In this session, we will cover Test Manager overview along with SAP heatmap.
The UiPath Test Manager overview with SAP heatmap webinar offers a concise yet comprehensive exploration of the role of a Test Manager within SAP environments, coupled with the utilization of heatmaps for effective testing strategies.
Participants will gain insights into the responsibilities, challenges, and best practices associated with test management in SAP projects. Additionally, the webinar delves into the significance of heatmaps as a visual aid for identifying testing priorities, areas of risk, and resource allocation within SAP landscapes. Through this session, attendees can expect to enhance their understanding of test management principles while learning practical approaches to optimize testing processes in SAP environments using heatmap visualization techniques
What will you get from this session?
1. Insights into SAP testing best practices
2. Heatmap utilization for testing
3. Optimization of testing processes
4. Demo

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.

Q:What are Descriptive Adjectives?
A:Descriptive Adjectives are Adjectives
which tell us about the kind or quality of ,
nouns/ pronouns.

Adjectives which come before a noun
showing how many or how much of the
noun there is.
Example:Mary gave me five oranges.
5. Demonstrative Adjectives

8. Q:What are the 3 Degrees of
Comparison ?
A:The 3 Degree of Comparison are
(1) the Positive Degree,
(2) the Comparative Degree and
(3) the Superlative Degree.
9. (a) The Positive Degree of Comparison
is used when we are speaking of
or describing an object.
Example: Peter is a short boy.
10. (b) The Comparative Degree of
Comparison is used when we are
speaking of or describing two
objects.
Example:Peter is taller than
Paul .
11. (c) The Superlative Degree of Comparison
is used when we are speaking of or
describing two or more than two
objects.
Example: Mary is the tallest
girl in her school.
12. The formation of
Comparative and the
Superlative forms
(a) The formation of Comparative and the
Superlative forms by adding “ –er” and
“-est” to the Positive.
Positive Comparative Superlative
clever cleverer cleverest
dark darker darkest
13. (b) The formation of Comparative and
the Superlative forms by dropping “y”
and “-iest”to the Positive.
Positive Comparative Superlative
dirty dirtier dirtiest
lazy lazier laziest
14. (c) The formation of Comparative and
the Superlative forms by doubling the
last letter and adding
“-er” and “-ier” to the
Positive.
Positive Comparative Superlative
big bigger biggest
hot hotter hottest
15. (d) The formation of Comparative and
the Superlative forms by
changing the spelling of
the Positive.
Positive Comparative Superlative
bad worse worst
good better best
16. (e) The formation of Comparative and
the Superlative forms by using the
word “ more” or “most” with
Adjectives of three or more syllables.
Positive Comparative Superlative
beautiful more beautiful most beautiful
careful more careful most careful
17. (f) For a few two-syllable adjectives
both kinds of Comparative and
Superlative are possible.
Positive Comparative Superlative
common Commoner/ Commonest/
more common most common
clever Cleverer/ Cleverest/
more clever most clever
18. (a) “The+Adjectives” =
a class of persons.
Example: The welfare society
organised a party for the poor.
19. (b) “The+Adjectives” =
an abstract noun.
Example:The future is
unknown to us.
(the future =
futurity)
21. There are compound Adjectives
formed by adding a “ – ” between the
words. Notice that the noun in a
compound Adjective should normally
be in singular form.
Example:Mary is an eighteen-
year-old girl.
