How to get your institution ready for open access monographs - Ellen Collins ...Jisc
How ready is your institution for Open Access (OA) monographs? Although excluded from REF2020, there is no doubt that they will be included in the future, indeed you can already publish an OA monograph now. This session will first provide a brief introduction to the OA monograph landscape – what is happening, who is doing what, what models are being explored. It will then look at how institutions are responding to landscape and based on evidence collected through institutional case studies as part of the OAPEN-UK project, present tips for getting your institution ready for OA monographs.
The OAPEN-UK project, funded by AHRC and Jisc is exploring open access monograph publishing in the humanities and social sciences. The institutional case studies included in-depth interviews with Pro-Vice Chancellors of Research, Directors of Research, Grant administrators, Finance Directors, Librarians and Repository Staff and researchers themselves. The session will be presented by Ellen Collins, Research Officer for OAPEN-UK.

How ready are you to implement learning analytics in your institution?
Jisc has been offering an institutional readiness assessment to institutions involved in the development phases of the learning analytics project. Building on the learning so far we will provide participants of this workshop with questions and activities that will start you on the journey.
The workshop will explore legal and ethical issues that you may need to address; technical and data challenges that may have to be overcome and cultural issues that are required.
Universities as e-textbook publishers - Jisc Digifest 2016Jisc
Scholarly communication is changing rapidly. As part of our exploration of this changing landscape Jisc is running a national pilot programme investigating the viability of universities publishing their own e-textbooks.
In this workshop we'll learn from participating universities who are creating their own e-textbooks, the decisions they’ve taken about business, licensing and distribution models, as well as the impact and value of their titles. We’ll also explore the viability of wider adoption across the sector.
New emerging assistive technologies - Jisc Digifest 2016Jisc

OpenAIRE webinar: Horizon 2020 Open Science Policies and beyond, with Emilie ...OpenAIRE
The global shift towards making research findings available free of charge and sharing and opening up the research process, so-called 'Open Science’, has been a core strategy in the European Commission to improve knowledge circulation and innovation.
It is illustrated in particular by the Open Science policies for the ECs framework programme.
In this webinar, I will talk about the OS policies for open access to scientific publications and the pilot for research data in Horizon 2020, followed by a preview of what to expect for Open Science in the new Horizon Europe programme.
---
The 2019 International Open Access Week will be held October 21-27, 2019. This year’s theme, “Open for Whom? Equity in Open Knowledge,” builds on the groundwork laid during last year’s focus of “Designing Equitable Foundations for Open Knowledge.”
As has become a tradition of sorts, OpenAIRE organises a series of webinars during this week, highlighting OpenAIRE activities, services and tools, and reach out to the wider community with relevant talks on many aspects of Open Science.
The main challenges facing universities and authors in moving to OA for journal articles are achieving compliance, managing costs, and realising the benefits of OA. This session will outline Jisc services that help, from submission of an article, through acceptance, to publication and use. It will show how these services build on existing infrastructure, where possible, to provide a solution that, while tailored to UK circumstances, is more widely applicable.
Open access for the inaugural @OpenResLDN meeting 2015 01 19Chris Banks
Slides that I will speak to at the inaugural meeting of OpenResLDN on 19th January 2015. January 2015 sees the 350th anniversary of the first ever journal publication - the Journal des Savants. We are now in the 21st year of the Open Access movement and the UK and European policies are really beginning to drive change and innovation. That change is not fast enough for some, and for others - particularly those covered by the policies, or seeking to implement policy - just a little too fast sometimes.

GILLIAN DALY & DOMINIQUE WALKER - Scottish Universities Press
Scottish Universities Press (SUP) is a library-led publishing initiative involving 18 institutions. SUP was formed in response to changes in the Open Access policy landscape and to harness the benefits of working collaboratively at scale. In this session we will outline the approach to establishing SUP, sharing tips and lessons learned. We will cover the practical challenges we have experienced as librarians becoming publishers and discuss how wider challenges in the OA landscape have impacted our efforts. We will also outline the opportunities of institution-led publishing as we have experienced them and explore the wider anticipated benefits as we move to scaling up SUP.

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.

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.
