Exploring the Charm of Malta: Celebrating Public Holidays on a UK VisaMALTA VISAS
Malta, a captivating Mediterranean island nation with a rich history and vibrant culture, beckons travelers from all over the world. As a UK visa holder, you have the opportunity to experience the beauty of Malta during its various public holidays. In this blog, we will delve into the significance of these holidays, their traditions, and how you can make the most of your time in Malta while on a UK visa.
The Flag of Malta approached the centre of the twentieth 100 years, yet its tones drew on a lot more seasoned custom. They are an impression of the country's old history and the distinctions that it has gotten, and they have framed the centre of all of Maltas flags.
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.
Essentials of Automations: Optimizing FME Workflows with ParametersSafe Software
Are you looking to streamline your workflows and boost your projects’ efficiency? Do you find yourself searching for ways to add flexibility and control over your FME workflows? If so, you’re in the right place.
Join us for an insightful dive into the world of FME parameters, a critical element in optimizing workflow efficiency. This webinar marks the beginning of our three-part “Essentials of Automation” series. This first webinar is designed to equip you with the knowledge and skills to utilize parameters effectively: enhancing the flexibility, maintainability, and user control of your FME projects.
Here’s what you’ll gain:
- Essentials of FME Parameters: Understand the pivotal role of parameters, including Reader/Writer, Transformer, User, and FME Flow categories. Discover how they are the key to unlocking automation and optimization within your workflows.
- Practical Applications in FME Form: Delve into key user parameter types including choice, connections, and file URLs. Allow users to control how a workflow runs, making your workflows more reusable. Learn to import values and deliver the best user experience for your workflows while enhancing accuracy.

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.

"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.

Malta, Gozo and Comino, with a total population
of over 400,000 inhabitants occupying an area
of 316km².
3. Malta lies in the middle of the Mediterranean
Sea, 93km South of Sicily and 288km North of
Africa.
5. Our flag has two colours, white and red, and the
George Cross in the top left-hand corner. The
George Cross was awarded to the Maltese
People by King George VI in 1942 for gallantry
during the Second World War.
6. Our national bird is the Blue Rock Thrush, our
national plant is the Maltese Centaury and our
national tree is the Arar tree.
7. Maltese is Malta’s national language. About half
the vocabulary is borrowed from Italian and
Sicilian, while the other half comes form the
Arabic and English Languages. Maltese is the
result of all the languages of those people that
conquered Malta in the past before it became
independent in 1964.
8. Malta features a Mediterranean climate with
warm dry summers and mild wet winters.
Average high temperature ranges from around
15°C in January to about 30°C in August, while
the average low temperature ranges from
around 12°C in January to 24°C in August.
9. Malta’s capital city is Valletta, built by the
Knights of St. John in 1566. It was built between
two natural harbours, Marsamxett and the
Grand Harbour.
10. Since Malta is an island many tourists come here
mainly in summer for our rocky and sandy
beaches.
11. For those tourists who don’t love to swim there
are endless historical sites, such as the
Megalithic Temples, underground catacombs,
churches, forts, the fortified medieval city of
Mdina and impressive collections in different
museums.
12. Traditional Maltese food is rustic and based on
the seasons. If you visit us look out for Lampuki
Pie (Fish Pie), Rabbit Stew, Bragjoli (Beef Olives),
Kapunata (Maltese version of Ratatouille),
Widow’s Soup which includes vegetables and
goat’s cheese, Bigilla (a thick pate of broad
beans with garlic) and pastizzi (a flaky pastry
parcel filled with ricotta or mushy peas).
