In computer science, a pointer is a programming language object, whose value refers to (or "points to") another value stored elsewhere in the computer memory using its memory address. A pointer references a location in memory, and obtaining the value stored at that location is known as dereferencing the pointer.
A pointer is a variable whose value is the address of another variable, i.e., direct address of the memory location. Like any variable or constant, you must declare a pointer before you can use it to store any variable address.
There are few important operations, which we will do with the help of pointers very frequently. (a) we define a pointer variable (b) assign the address of a variable to a pointer and (c) finally access the value at the address available in the pointer variable. This is done by using unary operator * that returns the value of the variable located at the address specified by its operand.

An introduction to pointers and references in C++ (with elements of C++11 and C++14). The presentation introduces the readers to the concepts of pointers and references through the pragmatic need of writing a swap function between integers. Generic programming notions (e.g., type constructors) are adopted when useful for the explanation.
C Programming/Strings. A string in C is merely an array of characters. The length of a string is determined by a terminating null character: '-' . So, a string with the contents, say, "abc" has four characters: 'a' , 'b' , 'c' , and the terminating null character.

Pointers are among C’s most powerful, yet most difficult concepts to master. Some tasks like dynamic memory allocation done only by using pointers. So it is essential to learn pointers.
Pointers are a type of variable, just like int, double, etc., except instead of storing a value, they store a memory address of another variable.
At the end of this lecture students should be able to;
Define the C pointers and its usage in computer programming.
Describe pointer declaration and initialization.
Apply C pointers for expressions.
Experiment on pointer operations.
Identify NULL pointer concept.
Experiment on pointer to pointer, pointer arrays, arrays with pointers and functions with pointers.
Apply taught concepts for writing programs.
C Programming Language is the most popular computer language and most used programming language till now. It is very simple and elegant language. This lecture series will give you basic concepts of structured programming language with C.
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.

"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.
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.

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.

2. Outline
Review of concepts in previous lectures
Introduction to pointers
Pointers as function arguments
Pointers and arrays
Pointer arithmetic
Pointer-to-pointer
3. Review and Background
Basic data types
− Place-holders for numeric data
Integer numbers (int, short, long)
Real numbers (float, double)
Characters / symbols codes (char)
Arrays
− A contiguous list of a particular data type
Functions
− Give “name” to a particular piece of code
− Modularization & reuse of code
4. Pointers
The most useful and tricky concept in C
language
− Other high level languages abstract-out this
concept
The most powerful construct too
− Makes C very fast
− Direct interaction with hardware
− Solves very complicated programming
problems
5. What are pointers?
Just another kind of “placeholder” to hold
“address” of memory location
− Address is also a number
− Itself resides on some memory location
Memory Address Value
0x8004 ...
0x8008 variable A
129
0x800C ...
0x8010 0x8008 address of A
0x8014 ...
6. What are pointers?
Declare variables a, b
− int a, b;
Declare a pointer
− int* pa;
Set value of a
− a = 10;
Point pa to address of a
− pa = &a;
Set value of a using pa
− *pa = 12; pa = &b;
7. Pointer Operators
“address-of” operator: &
− Gets address of a variable
De-referencing operator: *
− Accesses the memory location this pointer
holds address of
8. Pointers and Functions
A function can be passed arguments using
basic data types
− int prod(int a, int b) { return
a*b; }
How to return multiple values from function?
− void prod_and_sum(int a, int b,
int*p, int* s)
{ *p = a*b; *s = a+b; }
9. In & Out Arguments of Function
A function may like to pass values and get the
result in the same variables. e.g. a Swap
function.
void swap(int* a, int* b) { int c;
c = *b; *b = *a; *a = c; }
int a = 5; b = 6;
swap(&a, &b);
// a hold 6 and b hold 5 now.
10. Pointers and Arrays
Since arrays are a contiguous set of variables
in memory, we can access them with pointers
int arr[5];
int *p = &arr[0];
*(p+0) = 1; // arr[0]
*(p+1) = 2; // arr[1]
*(p+2) = 4; // arr[2]
*(p+3) = 8; // arr[3]
...
11. Pointer Arithmetic
Arithmetic operators work as usual on ordinary
data types.
− int a = 1; a++; // a == 2
It gets a bit complicated when arithmetic
operators are used on pointers
int* p = 0x8004; p++;
What does p hold now? 0x8005???
Compiler knows that p is a pointer to integer
type data, so an increment to it should point to
next integer in memory. Hence 0x8008.
12. Pointer Arithmetic
So an arithmetic operator increases or
decreases its contents by the size of data type
it points to
int* pi = 0x8004; double* pd =
0x9004; char* pc = 0xa004;
pi++; // pi == 0x8008
pd++; // pd == 0x900c
pc++; // pc == 0xa005
Only '+' and '-' operator are allowed. '*' and '/'
are meaningless.
13. Pointer-to-Pointer
Pointer variable is just a place-holder of an
address value, and itself is a variable.
− Hence a pointer can hold address of other
pointer variable. In that case it is called a
“double pointer”.
int*p; int **pp; pp = &p;
e.g a function may like to return a pointer
value
void pp_example(int** p) { *p =
0x8004; }
int *p; pp_example(&p);
14. Pointer Pitfalls
Since pointer holds address of memory
location, it must never be used without proper
initialization.
An uninitialized pointer may hold address of
some memory location that is protected by
Operating System. In such case, de-
referencing a pointer may crash the program.
An initialized pointer does not know the
memory location, it is pointing to is, holds a
valid value or some garbage.
A pointer cannot track boundaries of an array.
