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.

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.

Huawei SAN Storage How To - Configuring the i-SCSI Communication Protocol
1. Huawei SAN Storage – How To
Configuring the i-SCSI communication protocol
Huawei SAN Storage – How To :
Configuring the i-SCSI communication protocol
2. Huawei SAN Storage – How To
Configuring the i-SCSI communication protocol
In this tutorial we will see how to configure a connection between our i-SCSI SAN
(S2200T demo unit) and an application server running Windows 2012.
This activity is divided into 4 main topics:
- IP address configuration on the SAN i-SCSI port
- Configuration of the dedicated network card on the application server (Windows)
- Configuration of the i-SCSI Initiator, still on the application server
- Verify that the Initiator is recognized by the i-SCSI Target (SAN)
3. Huawei SAN Storage – How To
Configuring the i-SCSI communication protocol
We assume that a very simple network configuration has been deployed between
servers and SAN: a simple direct network cable on a dedicated IP subnet, or through
a switch, essentially without routing. In case of more parallel i-SCSI connections,
the most simple way is to apply a not routed subnet to each connection pair.
If the link is routed, or the subnet is "busy" from other traffic, you can get a
performance degradation that, in a so delicate and otherwise simple environment,
is not desirable.
Now let's check the configuration of the SAN.
In our demo unit we have, for each controller, 4 ethernet ports dedicated to i-SCSI
protocol.
4. Huawei SAN Storage – How To
Configuring the i-SCSI communication protocol
In figure one the four
controller A ports are
highlighted, with every detail
of the port H2, so as we can
see in Device Info by ISM.
In total, we have 8 ports that
can work in a variety of
configurations, including
redundancy and aggregation
of flows.
Figure 1
5. Huawei SAN Storage – How To
Configuring the i-SCSI communication protocol
The summary of the i-SCSI ip parameters, and the ability to configure them, are
available in PORTS by ISM, under the tab iSCSI-Host-Ports. Figure 2 shows us only the
first 4 interfaces, all presenting the status of link-down as they are not yet
connected to the application server.
Figure 2
6. Huawei SAN Storage – How To
Configuring the i-SCSI communication protocol
Now let's pass to the server
configuration (Windows).
As we previously
announced, and is better to
reserve one or more
interfaces to i-SCSI only
protocol.
Figure 3 shows us just one
of these interfaces already
with optimized protocols:
disable all but the only one
we need: IP V4
Figure 3
7. Huawei SAN Storage – How To
Configuring the i-SCSI communication protocol
Figure 4 shows the detailed
configuration of IPV4: it is a classic
static IP configuration, strictly reduced
to the minimum necessary values, so
without a dafault gateway and without
DNS, since the traffic of this interface
should not roam the internet and must
not have other functions. All in all, the
presence of more default gateways, in
a windows environment, is not
desirable.
Figure 4
8. Huawei SAN Storage – How To
Configuring the i-SCSI communication protocol
Once configured the IP on both sides of the connection, we can verify it, by, for
example, a simple PING command from server to SAN.
At this point, the IP configuration of both endpoints and is completed and verified:
let's pass to real i-scsi management.
Figure 5
9. Huawei SAN Storage – How To
Configuring the i-SCSI communication protocol
The tool provided to us since a few
of Windows operating system
versions, is iSCSI Initiator. As shown
in Figure 6, is located between the
administration tools for Windows
2012, and essentially has not
changed compared to that of
Windows 2008 and Windows 2008 R2
Figure 6
10. Huawei SAN Storage – How To
Configuring the i-SCSI communication protocol
Once launched, move to the
Configuration tab on the far right: This
page shows the default name with
which this server is presenting itself to
the rest of the i-SCSI worls, and,
frankly, it is a set of long words,
difficult to understand and difficult to
manage (remember that this name
must appear on ISM that, notoriously,
holds data in columns in very tight
spaces).
Figure 7
11. Huawei SAN Storage – How To
Configuring the i-SCSI communication protocol
Can be very helpful to set a name that helps identify the server from the remote side
of the connection (i-SCSI target of SAN). Figure 8 exhibits a much explanatory example.
Figure 8
12. Huawei SAN Storage – How To
Configuring the i-SCSI communication protocol
Now that we have verified our SAN is reachable, let's connect it.
In order to do this, let's click the TARGETS tab on the i-SCSI Initiator: here simply
type the IP address of our i-SCSI conterpart (the SAN), and then click Quick Connect
(Figure 9).
Figure 9
13. Huawei SAN Storage – How To
Configuring the i-SCSI communication protocol
After a few seconds we get a
response equivalent to what is shown
in Figure 10: not very clear but you
can recognize that our Huawei
Oceanstor is responding.
Figure 10
14. Huawei SAN Storage – How To
Configuring the i-SCSI communication protocol
Returning to the Targets tab and
expanding the column appropriately,
we can verify that the IP we wanted to
contact is online and responsive.
In case of multiple connections, you
have to repeat the procedure trying all
the IP remote targets, for which the
Figure 11 will show a row for each
connection.
Figure 11
15. Huawei SAN Storage – How To
Configuring the i-SCSI communication protocol
Now the last verification: the SAN
has to be aware of our
connection: this is visible in the
Initiators in ISM.
The Identifier column shows just
the name of our server, clear and
understandeable,
as set in Figure 8.
Figure 12
For today is all. See you at next tutorial!
