“Let me Google that” became a fundamental phrase in our daily life. But Google is much more than only a search engine. In fact, so much more that a new company was founded: Alphabet, of which Google is only a part of. This next-gen Alphabet embraces a lot of different cool technologies, products and projects. Come and join us on a tour through the breath-taking landscape of Alphabet.

The popularity of social media services has increased exponentially in the last few years. The combination of big social data and powerful analytical technologies makes it possible to gain highly valuable insights that otherwise might not be accessible. The Twitter Analyzer comprises several components to collect, analyze and visualize Twitter data. Therefore, we explored various related technologies to implement this tool. We collected about 38 million english tweets related to various and analyzed those data with machine learning techniques to compute the respective sentiment and detect common topics. Furthermore, we visualized the results using varying visualization techniques to emphasize different aspects such as a wordcloud, several chart-types and geospatial visualizations. Used technologies: MongoDB, Python, Twython, Python NLTK, wordcloud2.js, wordfreq, amCharts, Google BigQuery, Google Cloud Storage, CartoDB, EtcML

The Enterprise Knowledge Graph is a disruptive platform that combines emerging Big Data and Graph technologies to reinvent knowledge management inside organizations. This platform aims to organize and distribute the organization’s knowledge, and making it centralized and universally accessible to every employee. The Enterprise Knowledge Graph is a central place to structure, simplify and connect the knowledge of an organization. By removing complexity, the knowledge graph brings more transparency, openness and simplicity into organizations. That leads to democratized communications and empowers individuals to share knowledge and to make decisions based on comprehensive knowledge. This platform can change the way we work, challenge the traditional hierarchical approach to get work done and help to unleash human potential!

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.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

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.

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.
15. 3.5 billion searches per day
http://searchengineland.com/google-1-trillion-searches-per-year-212940
It was a rare sighting of a queries-per-day figure presumably from Google, which had
search executives quoted extensively in the story
Search Quick FactsoogleG
Each query uses 1.000 computers to return in 0.2s
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=modXC5IWTJI
That means for over three years now, Google has been claiming exactly the same amount of searches per month. That’s
incredibly unlikely. More likely is that growth has grown to some degree.
Average search travels 2.500 km

We fetch tens to hundreds of billions of pages. When I first got here [in 1999], it was about 50 million pages, and that
was the biggest index then. It's hard to imagine, but it's three orders of magnitude bigger today
