Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
Â
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.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Â
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
Â
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
Â
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.

Uncompressed video, also called Clean HDMI, is
digital video information that has not been compressed, or
was not processed with compression on it when the video
was captured directly via video capture (e.g. from a digital
camera.

Lossy
Compression
Lossy file compression results in lost data and quality from
the original version. Lossy compression is typically associated
with image files, such as JPEGs, but can also be used for audio
files, like MP3s or AAC files.

Digital Sound
Processor
(DSP)
A Digital Signal Processor, or DSP, is a specialized
microprocessor that has an architecture which is optimized
for the fast operational needs of digital signal processing. A
Digital Signal Processor (DSP) can process data in real time,
making it ideal for applications that can’t tolerate delays.

Random
Access
Memory
(RAM)
AM (pronounced ramm) is
an acronym for random accessmemory, a type of computer
memory that can be accessed randomly; that is, any byte of
memory can be accessed without touching the preceding
bytes. RAM is the most common type of memory found
in computers and other devices, such as printers.
http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/R/RAM.html
Mono Audio Monaural or monophonic sound reproduction (often
shortened tomono) is single-channel. Typically there is only
one microphone, one loud speaker, or (in the case
of headphones and multiple loudspeakers) channels are fed
from a common signal path.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monaural
Stereo Audio Stereophonic sound or, more commonly, stereo, is a method
of sound reproduction that creates an illusion of
directionality and audible perspective. This is usually
achieved by using two or more independent audio channels
through a configuration of two or more loudspeakers (or
stereo headphones)in such a way as to create the impression
of sound heard from various directions, as in natural hearing.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereophonic_sound
Surround
Sound
Surround sound is a technique for enriching the sound
reproduction quality of an audio source with additional audio
channels from speakers that surround the listener (surround
channels), providing sound from a 360° radius in the
horizontal plane (2D) as opposed to "screen channels"
(centre, [front] left, and [front] right) originating only from
the listener's forward arc.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surround_sound
Direct Audio
(Pulse Code
Modulation –
PCM)
Pulse-code modulation (PCM) is a method used to digitally
represent sampled analog signals. It is the standard form of
digital audio in computers, Compact Discs, digital telephony
and other digital audio applications. In a PCM stream, the
amplitude of the analog signal is sampled regularly at
uniform intervals, and each sample is quantized to the
nearest value within a range of digital steps.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse-code_modulation
AUDIO
RECORDING
SYSTEMS
Analogue Analog device is usually a combination of both analog
machine and analog media that can together measure,
record, or reproduce (emit[disambiguation needed])
continuous information, for example, the almost infinite
number of grades of transparency, voltage, resistance,
rotation, or pressure. In theory, the continuous information
(also analog signal) has an infinite number of possible values
with the only limitation on resolution being the accuracy of
the analog device.

Digital Mini
Disc
The MiniDisc (MD) is an obsolete magneto-optical disc-based
data storage device for 74 minutes and, later, 80 minutes, of
3. digitized audio or 1 gigabyte of Hi-MD data. The Sony brand
audio players were on the market from September 1992 until
March 2013.[1]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MiniDisc
Compact Disc
(CD)
Stands for "Compact Disc." CDs are circular discs that are 4.75
in (12 cm) in diameter. The CD standard was proposed by
Sony and Philips in 1980 and the technology was introduced
to the U.S. market in 1983. CDs can hold up to 700 MB of
data or 80 minutes of audio. The data on a CD is stored as
small notches on the disc and is read by a laser from an
optical drive. The drives translate the notches (which
represent 1's and 0's) into usable data.
http://www.techterms.com/definition/cd
Digital Audio
Tape (DAT)
Acronym for digital audio tape, a type of magnetic tape that
uses a scheme called helical scan to record data. A DAT
cartridge is slightly larger than a credit card in width and
height and contains a magnetic tape that can hold from 2 to
24 gigabytes of data. It can support data transfer rates of
about 2 MBps. Like other types of tapes, DATs are sequential-
access media.
http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/D/DAT.html
MIDI Stands for "Musical Instrument Digital Interface." It is a
connectivity standard that musicians use to hook together
musical instruments (such as keyboards and synthesizers)
and computer equipment. Using MIDI, a musician can easily
create and edit digital music tracks. The MIDI system records
the notes played, the length of the notes, the dynamics
(volume alterations), the tempo, the instrument being
played, and hundreds of other parameters, called control
changes.
http://www.techterms.com/definition/midi
Software
Sequencers
An electronic device or software program that can be
instructed to order and modify digitally stored musical
sounds for playback, as through a synthesizer.
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/sequencer
Software
Plug-ins
In computing, a plug-in (or plugin, extension, or add-on /
addon) is a software component that adds a specific feature
to an existing software application. When an application
supports plug-ins, it enables customization. The common
examples are the plug-ins used in web browsers to add new
features such as search-engines, virus scanners, or the ability
to utilize a new file type such as a new video format. Well-
known browser plug-ins include the Adobe Flash Player, the
QuickTime Player, and the Java plug-in, which can launch a
user-activated Java applet on a web page to its execution a
local Java virtual machine.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plug-in_(computing)
MIDI
Keyboard
Instruments
A MIDI keyboard is typically a piano-style user interface
keyboard device used for sending MIDI signals or commands
over a USB or MIDI cable to other devices connected and
operating on the same MIDI protocol interface. This could
also be a personal computer running software such as a
digital audio workstation (DAW) that listens to and sends
MIDI information to other MIDI devices connected by cable
or running internal to the personal computer system. The
basic MIDI keyboard does not produce sound.

SAMPLING
File Size
Constraints -
Bit-depth
In digital audio using pulse-code modulation (PCM), bit depth
is the number of bits of information in each sample, and it
directly corresponds to the resolution of each sample.
Examples of bit depth include Compact Disc Digital Audio,
which uses 16 bits per sample, and DVD-Audio and Blu-ray
Disc which can support up to 24 bits per sample.

Sample Rate
In signal processing, sampling is the reduction of a
continuous signal to a discrete signal. A common example is
the conversion of a sound wave (a continuous signal) to a
sequence of samples (a discrete-time signal).
