The accounting standard for recognizing revenue is changing – is your organization prepared for ASC 606? The revenue recognition standard defines new rules on how companies recognize revenue from contracts with customers, representing substantial changes and a major transition. ASC 606 is an updated accounting standard issued by FASB and IASB that is intended to increase financial statement comparability across companies and reduce the complexity in revenue recognition. The guidelines cover processes starting with contracts and continues through pricing, quotes, orders, and ending with revenue recognition.
Explore the top options available to prepare for the upcoming transition period by registering for our webinar with Seamus Moran from Oracle, Hari Mundhra and Gourav Rathi from Deloitte Consulting LLP, and Tom Buechler from eprentise. This panel discussion moderated by eprentise CEO Helene Abrams will provide an overview of the new standard, highlight the areas of significant changes to be ready for, and discuss the recommended approaches for your organization, all in a Q&A format.

Today, testing within DevOps and Agile teams requires insight and accelerated decision-making. Typically, teams rely on gut feel or prior experience for defect management. Understanding the overall quality of a product is not clear without engaging data analysts over an extended duration. With IBM's new IGNITE Quality platform, we have developed three new cognitive applications to automatically classify defects to reduce defect turnaround, predict defect patterns based on client historical behaviors, and prevent future defect creation by applying advanced defect analytics. You will learn the benefits of each IGNITE Quality app, how they are being used in key accounts and how you can start using them today.

Igniting Application Testing with AI + Automation IBM
Description:
Testing applications is an arduous and time-consuming process. Hear from IBM's client about how they are applying automation combined with artificial intelligence (AI) to develop and test applications—speeding up time to market and providing the agility to respond better to competitive threats. Using automation and AI can improve complex testing requirements by minimizing, and then automating, laborious testing processes. It can provide 45% faster cycles and reduce the number of tests up to 60% while providing 100% coverage of testing requirements. So you get faster testing, and up to 40% fewer defects.

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”.

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.

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.

Start of our Finance Transformation Journey
DTCC acts as a post-trade market infrastructure for the financial services industry, clearing
over $1.6 quadrillion in securities transactions per year. It automates, standardizes, and
streamlines processes in the capital markets. Through its three “Systemically Important
Financial Market Utility” subsidiaries, provides clearance, settlement, and information
services for equities, corporate and municipal bonds, unit investments trusts, government
and mortgage-backed securities, money market instruments, and over-the-counter
derivatives. It also manages transactions between mutual funds and insurance carriers and
their respective investors.
Who We Are
Why transform • Back-office systems not fully integrated, increasing risk of inaccuracy due to manual processes
• Financial reference data (e.g. chart of accounts) inconsistent between back-office systems
• High cost to license, maintain and support on-premise applications
• Significant impact to our ability to efficiently deliver statutory reporting,
• Lack of transparency and analytics capabilities in accessing key financial data analytics
