Digitalisering og API-revolusjonen gjør at stadig flere snakker om API. Men når stadig flere snakker om en ting øker sannsynligheten for misforståelser. Så når du snakker om API, snakker du om det fra en forretnings-dimensjon, arkitektur-dimensjon eller teknologi-dimensjon? Og hva er egentlig forskjellen på disse?
In grammars we trust: LeadMine, a knowledge driven solutionNextMove Software
We present a system employing large grammars and dictionaries to recognize a broad range of chemical entities. The system utilizes these re-sources to identify chemical entities without an explicit tokenization step. To al-low recognition of terms slightly outside the coverage of these resources we employ spelling correction, entity extension, and merging of adjacent entities. Recall is enhanced by the use of abbreviation detection and precision is en-hanced by the removal of abbreviations of non-entities. With the use of training data to produce further dictionaries of terms to recognize/ignore our system achieved 86.2% precision and 85.0% recall on an unused development set.

Developing sustainable business models for institutions’ provision of open ed...Dr Patrina Law
Universities across the globe have, for some time, been exploring the possibilities for achieving public benefit and generating business and visibility through releasing and sharing open educational resources (OER). Many have written about the need to develop sustainable and profitable business models around the production and release of OER. Downes (2006), for example, has questioned the financial sustainability of OER production at scale. Many of the proposed business models focus on OER’s value in generating revenue and detractors of OER have questioned whether they are in competition with formal education.
This presentation reports on a study intended to broaden the conversation about OER business models to consider the motivations and experiences of OER users as the basis for making a better informed decision about whether OER and formal learning are competitive or complementary with each other. The study focused on OpenLearn - the Open University’s (OU) web-based platform for OER, which hosts hundreds of online courses and videos and is accessed by over 3,000,000 users a year. A large scale survey and follow-up interviews with OpenLearn users worldwide revealed that university provided OER can offer learners a bridge to formal education, allowing them to try out a subject before registering on a formal course and to build confidence in their abilities as learners. In addition, it was found that using OER during formal paid-for study can improve learners’ performance and self-reliance, leading to increased retention and satisfaction with the learning experience.
Applying testing mindset to software developmentAndrii Dzynia
Software Development is a creative activity that requires focus. During coding session you as a programmer tends to make so many decision that sometimes force you to neglect 'unimportant details' that might sounds like specific use cases, unclear statements or somethings that won't gonna happen. In most cases the system even so complex that is not that easy to step out and see the whole picture, even from user's point of view. Historically software developers used to trust other people called testers to verify those 'details' from user's perspective before deploying into production. In order to have proper alignment inside the team dedicated 'QA step' added to the process. That obvious solution have some quick-wins with outcome of found bugs before releasing the software. But there are some tradeoffs, such as: slower delivery cycle, extra test documentation and GUI automated tests that are not that easy to maintain. During my talk I would like to share some insight and lessons we learned @ Spotify that helps us improving team's development productivity without losing quality of the product. Hopefully that will help your team as well or at least show one of the directions you might want to follow.
