MongoDB and Hadoop: Driving Business InsightsMongoDB
MongoDB and Hadoop can work together to solve big data problems facing today's enterprises. We will take an in-depth look at how the two technologies complement and enrich each other with complex analyses and greater intelligence. We will take a deep dive into the MongoDB Connector for Hadoop and how it can be applied to enable new business insights with MapReduce, Pig, and Hive, and demo a Spark application to drive product recommendations.

Overview of a four year program of activities and projects to re-establish and position Special Collections (unique distinctive collections) at UNSW Canberra.
Crowdsourcing based curation and user engagement in digital library designRose Holley
Rose Holley, Special Collections Curator at UNSW Canberra discusses the findings of her research into crowdsourcing based curation. Using the digitised historic Australian Newspapers as an example, she looks at how the functionality and interface was developed in close relationship with the users, and how this led on to text correction of newspaper articles. It is nearly ten years since this pioneering project began and the motivations and achievements of the 50,000 volunteers are examined over this time. She questions how successfully the goal of improving text quality and therefore search has been achieved. She proposes that if a similar project was begun now then artificial intelligence software would be used such as OverProof post OCR correction tool to improve the quality of the text. OverProof has been trained on the manual corrections of the Australian newspaper corpus and trials demonstrate it is able to dramatically improve the quality of the corpus. Volunteer text correction could still continue afterwards for difficult text but the software would do the main donkey work, allowing users to have a better quality search.

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.
"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

The Beta service was under development for a few months and was made publicly available in July 2008. It now contains 360.000 pages (3.5 million articles) and is being very well used. There are about 28,000 searches per day (not including browsing newspapers page by page). We are actively gathering feedback from the public on the service so that we can continue to develop it to meet their needs. Screenshots follow to illustrate how the service can be used.
This is the homepage for the service. It allows users to search articles using a keywords or browse across newspaper titles, dates, or by state. The pane on the right is a ‘on this day’ feature, that also gives users a taste of what they may find within the service.
This is a search results page – so in this example a user has searched on angus mcdonald. The search results list the articles that contain the term Angus MacDonald. At this stage the user can view one of the articles by clicking on it, or they can refine their search further using the groups on the left hand side. The search can be refined by newspaper title, or article category, or only retrieve illustrated articles.
This is the page view showing the entire newspaper page. All the articles on the page are listed on the left. The entire issue can be browsed by using the page button at the top.
This next screen is the article view – so the user has selected a particular article to look at. Users can zoom in or out and choose to view the article in the context of the entire page. They can also navigate to any other page within the newspaper issue. The electronically generated text created through the OCR process is displayed on the left hand side. Also this is where we have added some really great interactive functionality to engage with the user community. Users can tag the article with keywords and they can write comments and notes about the article. We are building personalisation into the service so that if users login they will be able to choose to make their tags and comments public or private. So they can share their comments with all users or they can add their own private research notes that only they can access. One feature that we believe is innovative and not available in any other online newspaper service, is the ability for the user to correct the electronically generated text. There are a number of reason why the electronically created text is not always 100% accurate including the quality of the original newspaper that the image was created from. By clicking on the Help fix this text button
Users are presented with a screen that allows them to fix the errors. The public have been very active in making text corrections. Any text that is corrected will also benefit the service by improving the quality of the data that can be searched by others.
Text correction is proving to be an addictive activity for some members of the public who are correcting thousands of lines per month. From July – October 2008 750,000 lines of text have been corrected.
Users can also tag articles with keywords.
Adding tags has been a popular activity for users. From July – October 2008 14,000 tags have been added.
Users may add comments. This has not been taken up as much as we thought it may have been so far.
On this screen users can find out more information about the newspaper title and browse by date.
Titles are being grouped by state and alphabetically on this screen for users who want to browse.
I would like to invite you to use the Beta service and send us your feedback.
That brings me to the end of my presentation. Thank you for allowing me to talk to you about this exciting Program and I would be very happy to answer any questions.
