DEEPFAKE DETECTION TECHNIQUES: A REVIEWvivatechijri
Noteworthy advancements in the field of deep learning have led to the rise of highly realistic AI generated fake videos, these videos are commonly known as Deepfakes. They refer to manipulated videos, that are generated by sophisticated AI, that yield formed videos and tones that seem to be original. Although this technology has numerous beneficial applications, there are also significant concerns about the disadvantages of the same. So there is a need to develop a system that would detect and mitigate the negative impact of these AI generated videos on society. The videos that get transferred through social media are of low quality, so the detection of such videos becomes difficult. Many researchers in the past have done analysis on Deepfake detection which were based on Machine Learning, Support Vector Machine and Deep Learning based techniques such as Convolution Neural Network with or without LSTM .This paper analyses various techniques that are used by several researchers to detect Deepfake videos.

How Events Are Reshaping Modern SystemsJonas Bonér
Event-driven architecture and design have been getting a lot of attention in recent years. It’s an old concept that has been around for decades, so why this sudden peak of interest?
In this talk, we will explore the nature of events, what it means to be event-driven, and how we can unleash the power of events. The goal is to arm you with a solid theoretical understanding of how to design an event-driven system, what tools and techniques you can use to reap the most benefit from its design, and perhaps most importantly, what to avoid.
We'll discuss how an event-driven design can help:
- drive autonomy
- reduce risk
- increase certainty
- increase loose coupling
- increase scalability
- increase resilience
- increase traceability
Skeptics should definitely attend.
Demystifying Clearview: Vehicle Tracking with Public CCTV Cameras and TensorFlowAll Things Open
Presented by: Samuel Brice - Software Engineer, Director of Engineering, Two Sigma and NumFOCUS
Presented at All Things Open RTP Meetup/Open Source South Carolina Meetup
Abstract: Recently the New York Times published an article about Clearview AI - the secretive company that might end privacy as we know it. Using a database of billions of images scrapped from websites such as Facebook, and Instagram Clearview can track and identify anyone with a web presence. The tool is actively being used by police agencies around the country and many citizens are concerned about its potential for abuse. My talks goes into detail explaining how Clearview's system works by demonstrating a similar system for tracking and identifying cars using public CCTV cameras. I will cover the steps of implementing such a pipeline from collecting training data, to building a neural net model, to tracking the movements of a car in time and space. Lastly I will cover the implications of such a capability on privacy as well as what can be done to protect our privacy today.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
