Telco: Voice-Command Personal Agent Service with AWS Cloud (MBL202) | AWS re:...Amazon Web Services
"In March 2012, Japan’s leading mobile operator, NTT DOCOMO, introduced Shabette Concier, an advanced voice-activated personal agent service that enables customers to intuitively and directly operate services and smartphone features with voice commands. Millions of DOCOMO's subscribers are now using this service.
This session explains Shabette Concier's distributed speech recognition architecture, and dialogue-understanding system design, with machine learning technologies and large-scale database systems. Learn why DOCOMO chose the AWS cloud and how DOCOMO engineers overcame all the difficulties from CEO-imposed time constraints, unexpectedly rapid service growth, usage spikes driven by marketing campaigns, and internal resistance to the use of cloud services. The session concludes with lessons learned from a telco's large-scale service development of a mobile app with the AWS cloud."
Ignition: Geek Parenting’s Lessons Learned…so far
“A 12yo presenting App Dev at TED? An 11yo presenting Spark to a tech conference? That’s crazy; my kids just want to play games!”
Do you remember what sparked your interest in technology? Everyone has a different story of how that spark ignited into a fire to #LearnAllTheThings.
In this talk, Cori Drew will share the experiences that–as a geek and a parent–left her surprised and enlightened, and will cover tactical ideas of how to ignite that fire in your own kids. Share in the retrospective that led her daughter from a video-gaming 7yo to an 11yo speaker, and walk away with concepts of how to carry our passion for programming to our youth.

This introduction to social media for business was given at the open house of Miami University's Armstrong Institute for Interactive Media Studies. Presented by Glenn Platt and Peg Faimon, AIMS Co-Directors. The presentation was a "teaser" for a two-day workshop on social media marketing and online community engagement.
"Brand As API" is a conceptual framework for understanding new opportunities in branding. This model was unveiled at SXSW Interactive in March 2012 (though it was first presented in a raw form at a P&G GBS Summit in April 2011) and will be detailed in a forthcoming book.
This presentation was given at Miami University's "Winter College" where alums return for lectures. This one hour lecture was targeted to an audience that did not know much about Twitter and wasn't sure why they should care about it. It is largely the personal case for using Twitter, though it references Jeff Bullas' arguments for the business case. It also uses arguments and examples from Clay Shirky, Twitter, and others. The last part of the presentation is in response to a request where the alums submitted a list of interests, and I found twitter resources to match those interests - hence the long list of links.
Presentation at SXSW Interactive 2010 about the future of higher education. NOTE: The version of this presentation WITH AUDIO is also on slideshare. MIT, Yale, Stanford, and others put lectures online. Chris Anderson argues all university lectures should be free. From Academic Earth to TED, it's free. So what is the value-add of a university education? What models of higher education will survive? How will universities leverage the social web to reinvent themselves?

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

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.
