A recent survey, with 104 respondents, asked IT admins questions pertaining to their ESI (electronically stored information). Here's what they had to say!
This presentation will provide an overview of information governance and the solutions available to companies of all shapes and sizes.
Information Governance: A specification of decision rights and an accountability framework to encourage desirable behavior in the evaluation, creation, storage, use, archival and deletion of information. It includes the processes, roles, standards and metrics that ensure the effective and efficient use of information in enabling an organization to achieve its goals.
What are your pain points? Information is a corporate asset that needs to be managed and governed. By gaining control of data and considering eDiscovery concerns, you can better plan your corporate IG program.
Here are ways to get started: research options, talk to an expert, test solutions in your data environment.

Denny Russell of Sherpa Software recently presented a one-hour lunch-and-learn at work, where he shared his experiences and showed how he manages all of his social connections, and not to mention, gather key information that helps drive his everyday life. From free gifts, to discount coupons, to product ideas and inspiration, Denny walked his coworkers through the steps of how to successfully use social media tools like Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn for their own personal benefit. Using these slides, see what he used in his teachings on how to lurk for the purpose of finding useful information for work and life in general, and how to share that same information with others.
How to use IBM Connections to manage a product buildSherpa Software
Learn how to manage projects such as redesigns, product builds and more with this white paper on "How to use IBM Connections to manage a product build." One of Sherpa Software's resident IBM experts, Denny Russell, takes the reader through his process and helps them to understand how to "work smart and not hard" by using a social collaboration tool.
The following is part four of an ongoing fictional story, based on a true-to-life situation. (If you would like to get caught up, parts one, two, and three are also available.) The names of companies and people are fictitious, but the situations they face are the same as those faced by many companies. Perhaps, as you read the events unfolding at Gensui Acme Imaging, you will see similarities to the challenges you face as well as ways to meet them.
Every so often we have the opportunity at Sherpa to ease back, put our feet up, dream of sitting on a beach with our toes in the sand, sipping a nice drink of our choice and watching the world go by. Oh my, how relaxing and restorative that 60 seconds can be. OK, so now that the time of idleness has passed, we had to decide what product changes we could make. So there we are, sitting in a meeting when someone said, "Hey! It's been a whole week since we've added any functionality to Discovery Attender." Once we all realized that we truly have not added any new features in 168 hours (yes, I did do the math in my head), we decided it was time to get back to work!
So what can we add to Discovery Attender? Well, to be honest, that's not a hard question because we get a lot of feature requests from our customers (thank you!) to help improve our product. Check out the "What's New" document below to get a breakdown of all our newly added features!

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.

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.

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.
