A blockchain is a way of storing data so that cannot be changed anymore. This is called immutability and a very useful feature when dealing with very important data like bank records or transactions.
This presentation will teach you the simplest methodology of how blockchain works.
A Quick Start To Blockchain by Seval CaprazSeval Çapraz
Blockchain is one of the most innovative discoveries of the past century.
The first cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, was proposed in 2008 by Satoshi Nakamoto with a white paper.
With the recent crypto bubble engulfing the world, you would have come across two prominent words: Blockchain and Cryptocurrency. Well, when it comes to origin and development then cryptocurrency marks the growth of Blockchain technology.

Blockchain Council is a renowned platform providing all the certification and Blockchain courses that will help you make an established career in this field.
There are many cryptocurrencies out there; in fact, as of April 2021, there were over 9,500 cryptocurrencies in circulation listed on the Coinmarketcap. This number is expected to increase in the future as people’s interest in cryptocurrencies keeps rising. Although you might have heard about cryptocurrencies and known how it works, it’s possible you still don’t know what cryptocurrency actually is, or what means. The fields of cryptocurrency and the blockchain technology that drives cryptocurrencies can be a bit confusing. So, what is cryptocurrency? This article uses relatable terminology to explain in detail what cryptocurrency is, and the science of cryptography that decentralizes and drives cryptocurrencies, and makes them secure.

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.
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert

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.

3. What is Blockchain?
• A blockchain is a way of storing data so that cannot be
changed anymore. This is called immutability and a very
useful feature when dealing with very important data like
bank records or transactions.
• A blockchain is a chain of blocks that contains information.
• This technique was originally described in 1991 by a group of
researchers, However it was mostly unused until it was
adapted by Satoshi Nakamoto in 2009 to create the digital
cryptocurrency Bitcoin.

9. Blockchain P2P Network
• When someone creates a new block, That new Block sends to
everyone on network.
• Each node then verifies the block to make sure that it has not been
tampered. If everything checks out, Each node adds this block to
their own blockchain.
• All the nodes in this network create consensus, They agree about
what blocks are valid and which are not. Blocks which are tempered
will be rejected by other nodes in the network.
• So to successfully tamper with a blockchain You'll need to tamper
with all blocks on the chain, redo the proof-of-work for each block
and take control of more than 50% of the peer-to-peer network.
12. What is Cryptocurrency?
• Cryptocurrency is a form of digital money that is designed to
be secure and, in many cases, anonymous. It is a currency
associated with the internet that uses cryptography, the
process of converting legible information into an almost
uncrackable code, to track purchases and transfers.
• Decentralized i.e. operates independent of any central
authority or individual.
• Transactions are irreversible.
• Virtual Currency.
13. How Cryptocurrency Works?
• Cryptocurrency is an encrypted, decentralized digital
currency transferred between peers and confirmed in a
public ledger via a process known as mining.
• Transactions are sent between peers from “cryptocurrency
wallets” by matching up public codes which relate back to
user-held private passwords (AKA cryptographic “keys”).
Transactions made between peers are recorded on a public
ledger of transactions called a “blockchain.”
• The transaction amounts are public, but who sent the
transaction is encrypted.
16. Pros and Cons of Cryptocurrency
Pros Cons
• You control your money • Cannot be recovered if lost
• Transactions cannot be
traced
• Transactions made with
cryptocurrency cannot be
traced
• Portability • No Taxation
• Virtual Currency • Can be use for Money
