Presentation by María del Carmen Gil Ortega at Mindtrek 2016
Education Innovation Centre, University of the West of England
Enhancing Real-World Education Through Immersive Virtual Experiences
Connect More with peers in practice - Bristol - MariCarmen Gil OrtegaJisc
These PechaKucha style presentations (20 slides at 20 seconds each) from attendees at the event will focus on how they have implemented digital capabilities to enhance learning and teaching at their institutions.
The document discusses how various solitary or self-focused actions "don't make any sense" and that the "real art" lies in serving and helping others. It provides examples of actions like speaking, writing, dreaming, exercising that would be empty unless used to educate, enlighten, or enrich people's lives. The final sentence encapsulates the overall message that true purpose and meaning comes from dedicating one's life to serving humanity.
The document describes an assignment from a Venture Lab class called "A Crash Course to Creativity" where students were asked to take pictures in different places and create a presentation capturing insights and hidden opportunities. The creator of the summary then presented on why paying attention matters, embedding quotes and photos in their slide presentation as evidence. The presentation emphasized that paying attention allows one to see opportunities, encourages creativity, and helps make connections between the past and present.
You are invited to attend a weekend event called "Play it Forward" from Friday April 17 to Sunday April 19 at the Schoenstatt Training Centre in Constantia. The event is free with an optional R1400 investment if you want to support the initiative. The event will explore concepts of disobedience, radical obedience, and flow through interactive exercises and discussions. Participants can expect to slow down, reflect on challenges in the world, and work on personal and collective obstacles. The goal is to support individuals in following their dreams and co-creating a community of like-minded people. Attendance is by invitation only from existing community members.

Mythbusting Websites: What Prospects Value About #HigherEd Websites (and What...mStoner, Inc.
Prospective students — especially teens — are a prime audience for a college website. But do we really know what teens are looking for when they visit your .edu? We designed, in partnership with mStoner, Inc. and Higher Ed Live, a survey asking teens to share their frank opinions of the college websites they’ve visited.
We asked them to tell us what they looked for on websites when they were researching colleges, choosing where to apply, and deciding which to attend. What did they like about the sites they visited? What was the most important content — and when was it important? What were the frustrations they experienced? What were the best sites they looked at? And they didn’t hold back.
Next, we sent the same survey to admission staff, web developers, designers, and marketers at colleges who were designing and redesigning websites for this key audience. We wanted to find out what they knew (or thought they knew) about what teens wanted.
The resulting presentation will explore where their perspectives converge — and where they differ — and how marketers can leverage this knowledge.
What You Will Learn
• What’s important, when. Knowing what kind of content students value and when in their college search and choice process they particularly value it helps college and university staff tune up websites and informs content strategy and storytelling.
• Where the problems are on .edu websites. Identifying typical problems on college websites helps colleges to ensure that they address those issues on their own sites.
• Where to invest your time and resources. You’ll learn what kinds of content prospects value so you can create more of it: If prospects don’t value alumni profiles, why create them?
• What college web, marketing, and admissions professionals don’t understand about what teens do on their sites. We’ll highlight significant disconnects between what on-campus professionals think they know about what teens do, and what they actually do.
Storytelling is one of the most effective ways to communicate and connect. Faculty members — their research, scholarship, and teaching — offer some of the richest stories for an institution to share. Join mStoner CEO Voltaire Santos Miran and ExpertFile Director Deanne Taenzer as they talk about the use of story to engage mind and heart and the role of technology in managing and measuring that content.
What You Will Learn
• What makes the difference between a faculty CV and a compelling story.
• How to motivate faculty to engage with you on an ongoing basis.
• How to use ExpertFile tools to better engage and reach a wider audience
• Important things to measure in terms of content and audience engagement that generate actionable insights.

The document discusses how organizations can create emotional connections with customers through immersive digital experiences. It notes that digital technologies allow brands to engage customers across multiple touchpoints along their journey. Effective digital experiences are driven by both emotion and logic, and immerse customers in branded experiences through interactive and immersive technologies.

"Scaling RAG Applications to serve millions of users", Kevin GoedeckeFwdays
How we managed to grow and scale a RAG application from zero to thousands of users in 7 months. Lessons from technical challenges around managing high load for LLMs, RAGs and Vector databases.
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?
zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

"Choosing proper type of scaling", Olena SyrotaFwdays
Imagine an IoT processing system that is already quite mature and production-ready and for which client coverage is growing and scaling and performance aspects are life and death questions. The system has Redis, MongoDB, and stream processing based on ksqldb. In this talk, firstly, we will analyze scaling approaches and then select the proper ones for our system.
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

High performance Serverless Java on AWS- GoTo Amsterdam 2024Vadym Kazulkin
Java is for many years one of the most popular programming languages, but it used to have hard times in the Serverless community. Java is known for its high cold start times and high memory footprint, comparing to other programming languages like Node.js and Python. In this talk I'll look at the general best practices and techniques we can use to decrease memory consumption, cold start times for Java Serverless development on AWS including GraalVM (Native Image) and AWS own offering SnapStart based on Firecracker microVM snapshot and restore and CRaC (Coordinated Restore at Checkpoint) runtime hooks. I'll also provide a lot of benchmarking on Lambda functions trying out various deployment package sizes, Lambda memory settings, Java compilation options and HTTP (a)synchronous clients and measure their impact on cold and warm start times.
