This document discusses using AI and machine learning to simplify image preparation for the web. It describes how object detection can be used for cropping, blurring objects, object removal, and generating alt text. It also provides examples of training custom models for tasks like automatically adding sunglasses to faces in images. The conclusion emphasizes that image processing with AI and ML can automate tasks like cropping, blurring, object removal, and alt text generation for image preparation.

OVERVIEW
As most Android developers know, dealing with the extreme degree of fragmentation in the Android ecosystem is often challenging. Among the more difficult challenges is managing memory usage, as devices that are in the market today can have as little as 13MB of memory. Now imagine the pains that developers go through when faced with the headache of having massive bitmaps eat up memory in a millisecond.
In this presentation, James Halpern will talk about the complexities of image and memory management in Android and walk you through the creation of a successful, powerful and open source image management utility. Come to this presentation to learn about techniques that will help you optimize the performance of your apps. Learn about Android’s memory limitations and the role the garbage collector plays in your app’s performance and complexity. Learn how to communicate android graphics issues to developers, and how good design can create fewer bugs. James will conclude this presentation by briefly walking you through his open sourced image management solution that gracefully handles most of these issues in a simple to use package.
A design talk geared towards designers who are new to the world of web design. I’ll cover items such as: how web design is unique from other kinds of design (such as print), how to leverage research and analytics to create data informed designs, steps to become a proficient web designer and how to choose and work with developers. If there are folks in the room using Illustrator or PSD, I'll show you how to set up Illustrator files for web design and prep files for a developer.
Infuse your apps, websites and bots with intelligent algorithms to see, hear, speak, understand and interpret your user needs through natural methods of communication. Azure Cognitive Services are APIs, SDKs, and services available to help developers build intelligent applications without having direct AI or data science skills or knowledge.

-----DESCRIPTION-----
responsivedesign.ca was launched in February of 2012, and it was well received. It was our first mobile-first responsive site. We built it quickly and knew it wasn’t perfect, but the game plan was to launch early and incrementally improve the site over time.
It’s not even a year later we use whole new workflows, creative design methods, modules, and development tools in our responsive websites. This talk will highlight how we created the original project and what we’ve since learned regarding workflow and development including:
Responsive Images Modules
Creative Concept Development
Device vs. Natural Breakpoints
SASS / Compass + Mixins we use
Dealing with IE
Benchmarking

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.

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.
