2022 Undergraduate Research Symposium: Ma'ldah Sheikh
The male gaze is a point of view in literary and digital media. It is from the viewing pleasure and perspective of heterosexual men. This form of content is predominantly characterized by the objectification and sexualization of women and other minority groups. The female gaze is meant to oppose the male gaze in cinema, but there are many controversies pertaining to this within the film discourse community.
Many theorists debate that there is no such thing as the female gaze, while others argue that even with the existence of the female gaze, the male gaze can never truly be reversed.

State of ICS and IoT Cyber Threat Landscape Report 2024 previewPrayukth K V
The IoT and OT threat landscape report has been prepared by the Threat Research Team at Sectrio using data from Sectrio, cyber threat intelligence farming facilities spread across over 85 cities around the world. In addition, Sectrio also runs AI-based advanced threat and payload engagement facilities that serve as sinks to attract and engage sophisticated threat actors, and newer malware including new variants and latent threats that are at an earlier stage of development.
The latest edition of the OT/ICS and IoT security Threat Landscape Report 2024 also covers:
State of global ICS asset and network exposure
Sectoral targets and attacks as well as the cost of ransom
Global APT activity, AI usage, actor and tactic profiles, and implications
Rise in volumes of AI-powered cyberattacks
Major cyber events in 2024
Malware and malicious payload trends

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.
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.

the observer to occupy
an externalized perspective

Title................: FLAT_EARTH_SOCIETY [2008-2011]
Type.................: Elevation data transposed on a record
-------------------------------------------------------------------
FLAT_EARTH_SOCIETY proposes a transposition of the earth elevation
at the scale of a microgroove record. Each side of the 33 rpm is
a transfer of an hemisphere. This engraving of elevation’s data on
the surface of the disk generates in consequence a subtle image
of the earth. A standard turntable can read this relief. While
playing, the chain of elevation data crossed by the needle can be
heard. With every rotation of the disk, we can recognize patterns
corresponding to the relief of the crossed continents.
9. HOW IT WAS MADE
-------------------------------------------------------------------
- The Earth elevation data from the NASA’s databases are converted
into an accurate audio waveform using the Pure Data program.(#1,2)
- This sound file is directly engraved on a dubplate (record)
using a modified record lathe.(#3,4)

The Flat Earth Society [1492 B.C -> TODAY]
An organization that seeks to further the belief
that the Earth is flat.
11. This project is not so much a
scientific, design or musical study.
It is rather considered as an activator
- of analogies
- of imaginary fields
- or mental representations

18. « Can we hear the Earth? Not the sounds occurring upon it but the
Earth on a geophysical scale?[...] The hill-and-dale technique
was used in Edison’s phonograph, recording sound with a stylus
that vertically cut a minute landscape into the grooves of the
cylinder.[...] Flat earth society takes readings from the stylus
of topographic radar, cuts them into vinyl and then plays them back
with a stylus. Phonographic hills-and-dales grow into the Alps,
Andes, Himalayas, Grand Canyon, Great Steppe, Great Rift Valley,
Great Outback and the Lesser Antilles. Where Enrico Caruso and
Nellie Melba once sang one hears the Baja Peninsula, Antarctic
Peninsula, and the bathymetric pauses of the Red Sea and Baffin Bay.
[...] Peaks and valleys, spikes and wells, spires and troughs,
aspirations and depressions, all have their gradations in mythical
and actual landscapes. »
