The document summarizes a music magazine article written by Jess Williams. It discusses how the magazine challenges some conventions of real music magazines, such as using unusual fonts and not including typical elements like the issue date. It represents various social groups through the model's mysterious, confident pose and significant hand gesture. The target audience is 16-27 year olds and the magazine would appeal to them through bold text, images and buzz words. The creator learned skills like editing images, importing fonts from external websites, and putting documents into a blog format.

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.

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.

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.
"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.

As you can see I have linked the style of my magazine to the style of the already famous music magazine ‘Q’. You can see the different conventions I have used that make it easy to sell a magazine. Firstly both magazines have the top border which consists of the selling line. The selling line grabs the readers attention and should make them want to read more about it. It normally consists of persuasive language and inside information. Another convention in which both magazines have is the title of the magazine. They are both bold and stand out and they are also both on the top left hand side. This is where the readers eyes tend to go to first. Both images are similar as they are both a medium close up shot. This means that you can see the facial expression in the image yet you tend to normally see a little glimpse of what they are wearing. Also another main point in the image is the eye contact. It is very important that the image connects with the reader and it almost gives off what they are about. Another convention in which both magazines have is the first third being used for what the magazine consists. This is one of the media conventions with magazines, it is said that the reader generally tends to go to the first left third. This is used to pack as much persuasive language and conventions in like celebrity endorsement so that the reader will buy the magazine.
With the front cover of the magazine I used the typical conventions of making the image big and on the right side of the cover. The eye contact in this image is very dominant and that should catch the audiences’ eye as it is directly looking to the camera. The image can be very demeaning as she is half smiling which is quite suspicious and will make the reader want to know more. Another typical convention that I have used on the magazine is the selling line on the border of the magazine. This hopefully will catch the readers eye and make them want to buy it with the persuasive language.This is one part of the magazine that I haven’t seen been used on any other magazine that I researched. I have used the famous celebrities that are being used in the magazine. I have done this because I want to persuade the readers with top artists name so they know that it is a well known magazine that use well known singers. Also, the names I have used suit the genre of the magazine. This is one part of the magazine that I haven’t seen been used on any other magazine that I researched.

I have used the famous celebrities that are being used in the magazine. I have done this because I want to persuade the readers with top artists name so they know that it is a well known magazine that use well known singers. Also, the names I have used suit the genre of the magazine. The celebrities that I have used throughout the magazine have been celebrities that fit my genre of magazine.
The first typical convention I have used is the issue number and the date of the magazine. This makes the magazine look professional and as of there has been previous issues of the magazine. The issue of the magazine keeps it up to date and uses typical conventions of media. I have kept the header of the magazine to the colour of the house style so that it doesn’t confuse the reader. One of the media conventions that I have challenged is the different fonts that I have used on the front cover and on the contents. With the front cover I have used a ‘eroded’ style of font that is quite unique and stands out. With the contents I have used an almost typewriter effect for the font. It is completely black and bold and will catch the attention of the reader immediately. Another typical convention that I have used is the titling of the different sections of the magazine. I have made sure that the text is bold and stands out and it is simple for the reader to see. I have also made sure I have numbered each page.One of the main things I have challenged with the contents page is the image. I have used a full body image to make the whole page stand out.
The stereotypical representations of the models on most music magazines are firstly, quite seductive. Either if it’s the way they are dressed which portrays this or even there facial expression. As you can see by both the Q magazines featuring Cheryl Cole and Lady GaGa. Lady Gaga’s posture and her dress code would give off the impression that she is being quite seductive and by the way she is holding her pants. With the Cheryl Cole magazine the way she is almost pulling her lip and having her tongue out shows that she is portraying this ‘sexual’ pose with seductive colour of it being red.With the two other magazines featuring Madonna and Florence, there poses would almost insinuate this kind of mysterious story behind there image. This makes the reader want to know more about the way they are being portrayed as normally there is a story behind the facial expression.With the Lilly allen magazine cover and the NME magazine cover these poses are quite unique. By this i mean that they have either got there own unique style in which they are portraying in the image, such as the NME magazine. However sometimes you can portray this by props, such as the Lilly Allen cover, she has used animals which makes the reader want to find out why she has done this.
Now onto the perception of my model and how the images portray different messages to the reader.With the front cover I think the image is quite deceiving. I think the eye contact is vital to connect to the reader. The quirky half smile that the model kind of has makes it interesting and perceives the model to have this background story behind her facial expression. The hand gesture of the model is also quite unique and quirky and as she is symbolizing Cheryl Cole the famous tattoo of Cheryl is on her hand.I think the pose of the model is quite respectful and confident. I say this because unlike other cover images which are quite seductive with the genre of the magazine I have kept it quite bold and structured.With the contents, the full image model is the same as the front cover image. I have kept the same hand movement so that the reader recognizes it and then knows that it is the same person. The colour of the jacket links into the house style and the pose of the model is quite unique and quirky.
I chose the company Bill board Magazine as the company that would distribute my style of magazine. I chose this magazine because they promote the magazines that fit the genre of my magazine. With my magazine being distributed by this particular company it will do well as they sell a weekly gross of 16,327 magazines a week. This just shows how well the magazine company does and as it is obviously popular well known and well discovered company.
By the images I have used in my magazine and the house style and the text that I have used portray and reach out to my target audience. I think my main target audience is older teenagers say from 16 to the older group of about 21. I picked this audience because i think this is the main group age that are more interested in music and would actually go out to buy a music magazine. I would say mainly girls would benefit from my magazine because I personally think girls are more music orientated and prefer to know about artists and there lifestyle not just there music.
Firstly, I attracted my audience by the big bold text of the name of the magazine ‘SWAG’.. I did this in bold capitals because it is then out there for to catch the audience’s eyes straight away and therefore attract the audience to the rest of the magazine. I used bold powerful colours such as red so that it would stick to the house colour of the magazine and so it would relate to the genre of the magazine.
