Amazon has four software development centers worldwide that are constantly developing new features and technology to support Amazon.com. The core technology that runs Amazon is entirely Linux-based and as of 2005 Amazon had the world's three largest Linux databases totaling over 50 terabytes of storage. Amazon's massive data warehouse is divided into functions like extract-transform-load, historical data storage, and querying and contains billions of records from its customers and sales.

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.

2. Amazon Technology I
Amazon's Progress
Amazon has four software development centers worldwide.
These units are constantly creating new features for Amazon.com and developing
the technology to support them.
The massive technology core that keeps Amazon running is entirely Linux based.
As of 2005, Amazon has the world's three largest Linux databases, with a total
capacity of 7.8 TB, 18.5 TB and 24.7 TB respectively.
The central Amazon data warehouse is made up of 28 Hewlett Packard servers,
with four CPUs per node, running Oracle 9i database software.
3. Amazon Technology II
Amazon Data Warehouse
The data warehouse is roughly divided into three functions.
・ETL (Extract, Transform and Load)
The ETL cluster (7.8 TB capacity) contains 5 TB of raw data.
A primary database function that pulls data from one source and integrates it
into another.
・Historical Data
The click history servers (18.5 TB capacity) hold 14 TB of raw data.
・Query
The query servers (24.7 TB capacity) contain 15 TB of raw data.
4. Amazon Technology III
Amazon's Security Measures
In addition to automatically encrypting credit card numbers during the checkout
process, Amazon lets users choose to encrypt every piece of information they
enter, like their name, address and gender.
Amazon employs the Netscape Secure Commerce Server using the SSL protocol.
It stores all credit card numbers in a separate database that's not Internet access-
ible, cutting off that possible entry point for hackers.
Customers who are particularly cautious can choose to enter only a partial credit
card number over the Internet and then provide the rest by phone once the online
order is submitted.
5. Amazon E-commerce I
Small sellers of used and new goods go to Amazon Marketplace, Amazon zShops
or Amazon Auctions.
An item listed on them appears in a box beside the Amazon.com item so buyers
can see if someone else is selling the product for less in one of the other sales
channels.
・Amazon Marketplace
Sellers offer goods at a fixed price.
・Amazon zShops
Features only used goods at fixed prices.
・Amazon Auctions
Sellers sell their stuff to the highest bidder.
6. Amazon E-commerce II
Amazon Advantage
Sellers can sell new books, music and movies directly from the Amazon ware-
house instead of from their home or store.
Sellers ship a number of units to Amazon, and Amazon handles the entire sales
transaction from start to finish.
Amazon Services
Amazon sells its sales platform, providing complete Amazon e-commerce pack-
ages to companies looking to establish or revamp their e-commerce business.
Amazon sets up complete Web sites and technology backbones for other e-com-
merce companies using Amazon software and technology.
Amazon's Associate Program
The Web site's affiliate program is one of the most famous on the Web.
Anyone with a Web site can post a link to Amazon.com and earn some money.
