Artificial Intelligence and the importance of Data, By : Prof. Lili SaghafiProfessor Lili Saghafi
The biggest barrier to the deployment and adoption of artificial intelligence and machine learning is bad data quality. Data from alternative resources and unstructured data is becoming increasingly important but must be “refined” before their insights become truly valuable for use.

We Define AI as anything that makes machines act more intelligently
We like to think of AI as augmented intelligence
We believe that AI should not attempt to replace human experts, but rather extend human capabilities and accomplish tasks that neither humans nor machines could do on their own.
The internet has given us access to more information, faster.
Distributed computing and IoT have led to massive amounts of data.
Social networking has encouraged most of that data to be unstructured.
With Augmented Intelligence, we are putting information that subject matter experts need at their fingertips, and backing it with evidence so they can make informed decisions.
We want experts to scale their capabilities and let the machines do the time-consuming work.

Quantum Computing Quantum Internet 2020_unit 1 By: Prof. Lili SaghafiProfessor Lili Saghafi
The quantum internet is now in a similar stage as the classical internet in the 1960's.
In half a decade the internet gained a huge role in our daily life.
It is not a matter of science anymore: a large community has been and still is working on how we can use the internet in our daily communication.
Bringing a scientific concept from universities to society requires effort from academia and industry and now we see the first footsteps being made.
In 2020 it is aiming to have a small quantum node network, which might become the first quantum internet on earth.
A quantum internet enables us to send qubits from one node to another.
This allows us to create entanglement between any two points.
Entanglement is inherently private.
Programming Languages Categories / Programming Paradigm By: Prof. Lili Saghafi Professor Lili Saghafi
A programming language is a notation designed to connect instructions to a machine or a computer.
Programming languages are mainly used to control the performance of a machine or to express algorithms.
At present, thousands of programming languages have been implemented.
In the computer field, many languages need to be stated in an imperative form, while other programming languages utilize declarative form.
The program can be divided into two forms such as syntax and semantics.
Blockchain is a combination of technologies that have existed for a long time.
They're simply combined in a new and creative way to give us an amazing new platform on which we can start to build solutions.
Blockchains are often referred to as digital decentralized ledgers.
It is something we're all familiar with: a simple notebook.
When we talk about blocks and blockchain, all we're really talking about is a page of data.
There's a new technology that has the power to revolutionize how you, businesses, and the world interact!
Hearing the word "blockchain" is comparable to hearing the word "internet" in the early 90s.
more than 20 years later. Think about how the Internet has transformed businesses, commerce, communication, even music and video.
The next technology to have that kind of impact isn't some of the buzzwords you hear.It's not big data. It's not artificial intelligence. It's not even social media. It's BLOCKCHAIN!

Cyber Security and Post Quantum Cryptography By: Professor Lili SaghafiProfessor Lili Saghafi
Quantum computing has the potential to transform cybersecurity.
Some encryption algorithms are thought to be unbreakable, except by brute-force attacks.
Although brute-force attacks may be hard for classical computers, they would be easy for quantum computers making them susceptible to such attacks.
All financial institutions, government agencies healthcare information are in danger.
How could this new thrust of computing strength give us new tiers of power to analyze IT systems at a more granular level for security vulnerabilities and protect us through more complex layers of quantum cryptography?
Machine learning by using python lesson 3 Confusion Matrix By : Professor Lil...Professor Lili Saghafi
A confusion matrix is a matrix (table) that can be used to measure the performance of an machine learning algorithm, usually a supervised learning one.
Each row of the confusion matrix represents the instances of an actual class and each column represents the instances of a predicted class.
This is the way we keep it like this but it can be the other way around as well, i.e. rows for predicted classes and columns for actual classes.
Machine learning by using python lesson 2 Neural Networks By Professor Lili S...Professor Lili Saghafi
When we say "Neural Networks", we mean artificial Neural Networks (ANN). The idea of ANN is based on biological neural networks like the brain.
The basic structure of a neural network is the neuron. A neuron in biology consists of three major parts: the soma (cell body), the dendrites, and the axon.
The dendrites branch of from the soma in a tree-like way and getting thinner with every branch. They receive signals (impulses) from other neurons at synapses. The axon - there is always only one - also leaves the soma and usually tend to extend for longer distances than the dentrites. The axon is used for sending the output of the neuron to other neurons or better to the synapsis of other neurons.
Machine learning is the kind of programming which gives computers the capability to automatically learn from data without being explicitly programmed.
This means in other words that these programs change their behavior by learning from data.
In this course we will cover various aspects of machine learning
Of course, everything will be related to Python. So it is Machine Learning by using Python.
What is the best programming language for machine learning?
Python is clearly one of the top players!

New Assessments in Higher Education with Computers by: Prof Lili Saghafi Professor Lili Saghafi
Assessment is the measurement of what students are learning. Assessments provide educators with both objective and subjective data in order to ascertain the student’s progress and skill mastery. It can be done in 6 different types and in the format of Computer Adaptive Assessment and The Virtual Performance Assessment (VPA)....
Sorting is a classic subject in computer science.
There are three reasons for studying sorting algorithms.
First, sorting algorithms illustrate many creative approaches to problem solving
Second, sorting algorithms are good for practicing fundamental programming techniques using selection statements, loops, methods, and arrays.
Third, sorting algorithms are excellent examples to demonstrate algorithm performance.
Quantum Computing Discovery Reveals Time Moves Forward And Backward. Time behaves differently in quantum computing models. What is true at the quantum level is true for the rest of the universe as well.Using theoretical quantum computers, the researchers found that Causal Asymmetry does not exist in quantum models. They say that what applies to a quantum computer also applies to massive objects in the universe.
With pointers we can actually pass x and y to a function, that function can do something with them and those variables values can actually change, so that's a quite a change in our ability to work with data.
We can reuse pointer variables
a pointer holds the memory address of a variable
A pointer can be re-assigned any number of times
Pointers can point nowhere (NULL)
Just like a classical internet a quantum internet consists of computers attached to an internet. In the case of a quantum internet these are naturally quantum computers.
On a quantum internet we don’t send classical bits, 0’s and 1’s, but we will transmit qubits.What makes a quantum internet, or what makes the transmission of qubits so much more powerful than what we have today? Qubits have very special features
They cannot be copied, making them ideal for security applications.
Two qubits can also be in a very special state: namely an entangled state.
An entangled state between two qubits is the essence of the power of a quantum internet.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

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.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.
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.
