Roland Memisevic at AI Frontiers: Common sense video understanding at TwentyBNAI Frontiers
Deep learning has evolved not linearly but through a series of step-functions: sudden unexpected outbreaks of capability, which fundamentally changed the envelope of what computers are able to do. At TwentyBN, we have created spatio-temporal video models and data infrastructure that allowed us to grow approximately one million labeled videos showing everyday common-sense scenes and situations - many of them extremely subtle. This allowed us to successfully train neural networks end-to-end on a wide range of action understanding tasks, that neither hand-engineering nor neural networks had appeared anywhere near solving just a few months ago. I will show how these recognition tasks now drive commercial value at TwentyBN, and how they drive our long-term AI agenda for learning common sense world knowledge through video.

Also, I give a high-level, but technical, introduction to the EVRYTHNG Engine API and how to use it to build exciting applications to interact with physical products.
The Eclipse M2M IWG and Standards for the Internet of ThingsWerner Keil
This session highlights how the M2M IWG can play a role in the Internet of Things and Distributed Sensor Web as well as related technologies like Smart Home, Automotive or Transport/Logistics (allowing containers to automatically notify you if e.g. their temperature changes beyond a healthy range;-) We demonstrate how existing Java standards like JSR 256 (Mobile Sensor API) can be improved or replaced towards a new generation of Java Embedded and Mobile.
Taking technologies like the IEEE 1451 "Smart Sensor" standard into consideration, as well as OGC standards like SensorML or The Unified Code for Units of Measurement (UCUM) allowing type and context safe data transfer using various formats and protocols, whether it is XML, JSON or specific M2M protocols like MQTT or OMA-DM.
Guy Martin, Senior Strategist from the Samsung Open Source Group, and Samsung's lead for the Open Interconnect Consortium's (OIC) Marketing Working Group, discusses the genesis of the OIC, what problems it is trying to solve, and how to get involved or utilize the common connectivity layer for IoT that the consortium is building.
Guy Martin, OIC Head of Digital Marketing, discusses the need for app standards within IoT, and how OIC is structured to begin delivering on a cross-platform common communications layer.

What is IoT and how Modulus and Pacific can Help - Featuring Node.js and Roll...Eduardo Pelegri-Llopart
Presentation at Progress Exchange 2014.
The Internet of Things is everywhere, from the connected home to the connected car, from smart watches to smart glasses, from beacons to smart thermostats. In this session we will provide an updated view of the IOT space and we will show you how Pacific technology like Node.js and Rollbase can be used to build IOT applications.
The presentation included a demo showing how Node.js and MongoDB can be used to process a GPS feed (from vehicles like snow plows), using MongoDB to store the data. The data is then presented to Rollbase as an external source where it can be combined with other sources in model-driven productivity applications. The content is also exposed via REST through a SPA using AngularJS and through an Apache Cordova (Phonegap)-based mobile app.

Paul Gallagher, Senior Director of Technology and Product Planning for LG, presents the "Coming Shift from Image Sensors to Image Sensing" tutorial at the May 2017 Embedded Vision Summit.
The image sensor space is entering the fourth disruption in its evolution. The first three disruptions primarily focused on taking “pretty pictures” for human consumption, evaluation, and storage. The coming disruption will be driven by machine vision moving into the mainstream. Smart homes, offices, cars, devices – as well as AR/MR, biometrics and crowd monitoring – all need to run image data through a processor to activate responses without human viewing. The opportunity this presents is massive, but as the growth efficiencies come into play the solutions will become specialized.
This talk highlights the opportunities that the emerging shift to image-based sensing will bring throughout the imaging and vision industry. It explores the ingredients that industry participants will need in order to capitalize on these opportunities, and why the entrenched players may not be at as great an advantage as might be expected.

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:
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.

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.
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

6. Motivation and Goals
ARToolKit is a collection of software tools to help solve
some of the fundamental problems in augmented
reality, including geometric and photometric registration
• geometric registration: aligning the position of the
virtual environment with the actual
• photometric registration: matching the appearance of
objects in the virtual environment to the actual
7. Problems!
1.Vendor-provided visual-inertial SLAM is closed source
(ARKit/ARCore)
2.Our identity, emotional state, or body actions, are not part of AR
sensing
3.“AR anywhere” is still a dream. There is no AR content “right here
right now”.
4.AR visuals are cartoon-like and not realistic.
5.Multi-user AR is virtually non-existent.

Q1-Q2 2018
• One open-source framework

• One new project started in
each area with collaboration
between artoolkitX and a 3rd
party
9. Problem statement (2):
Problem: The identity, emotional state, bodily position and non-hand
actions are extremely rich sources of information for AR systems, but
are routinely ignored.
Approach: We need to apply active sensing to collect information from
the user, and make it easier to integrate active sensing into AR
applications, to fuse data from different sources, and to process time-
based data for informative structure.
Outcome: AR systems will be better user experiences with lower
barriers to use.
10. Tangible user interaction
• Object and environment mapping - Kinect, RealSense, StructureIO
integration to allow use of physical proxies / totems
• Integrate support for haptic data into virtual environment
• Library support for force-feedback hardware
• Integration of face tracking, gaze tracking, hand and gesture tracking
11.
12. Problem statement (3):
Problem: When we build interactive AR applications that are deployed in
a fixed location, we face the challenge of sufficiently bringing computer-
mediated content into the fixed space around the user. This is an
outwards-in transferral of information.
In contrast, in deploying mobile AR applications we face the opposite
problem, that of guiding the user to the content.
Approach: Provide a simple system for reliable tagging of physical
objects.
Outcome: Users will know where to find content.
13. BIDBOT
Big Internet DataBase Of Things
Virtual environments (i.e. “AR content”) need to be attached to specific
real-world things.
Currently, any given system only knows the appearance of a tiny number
of things, and its reach is therefore also tiny.
We need to enable client applications to learn the appearance of any
object in a global database of things
Outcome: we enable the fine-grained tracking of a large (and expandable)
set of things both in online and offline modes, and consequent sharing of
state across time and space.
15. IoT
• Support for ambient sensing from Zigbee (à la HomeKit) sensor
networks, Bluetooth-LE beacons and sensors
16. Problem statement (4):
Problem: AR experiences are cartoon-ish.
The visual presentation of the virtual environment is never matched to the
optical properties of the environment in which it is being embedded.
Approach: We need to sense those optical properties so that we can make
virtual content with correct lighting, shadowing, and surface texture.
Non-visual dimensions of AR experiences are also neglected and are likely to
be significant drivers of future AR experiences and interaction.
Outcome: enhancement of the aesthetic properties of AR experiences, and
increased user engagement, acceptance, and satisfaction.

• Radiometric scanning methods using consumer RGBD cameras
• HDR spherical panoramas for specular lighting

I am very pleased to be here through the support of Realmax. I am lucky to be able to continue my work on augmented and mixed reality as lead engineer for a new project named artoolkitX. My background is first as a developer of experimental virtual reality systems 19 years ago. Then I was fortunate to work with Tom Furness at the HIT Lab in Seattle, and later becoming Chief Technical Officer of ARToolworks where I worked for many years helping bring AR software to developers. More recently I have worked for DAQRI using open-source to drive innovation inside and outside that company. With Realmax, we have some great ideas which I’ll tell you some more about.
ARToolKit has a long history and is arguably one of the most widely used pieces of software in the history of AR. It was originally developed by Kato and Billinghurst at the HIT Lab in Seattle, and over many years we took it from research to a commercial product, and then back to open-source community-oriented project again.
Who uses ARToolKit? Mostly developers who are building commercial applications and platforms. With artoolkitX, our goal is to grow all pieces of this pie.
To put some figures on the usage, we see that ARToolKit version 5 is not only one of the leading open source augmented reality software development kits, it is one of the leading overall open-source projects.
These figures were collected in 2017, and we expect to continue this growth as we move from ARToolKit version 5 to artoolkitX.
The goal of the ARToolKit project is to solve fundamental problems that AR software developers face. Up until about 18 months ago, that was still two particular problems: geometric registration and photometric registration. Matching the layout and appearance of a virtual environment to the actual environment surrounding the user. But if we look 18 months into the future, these are not the problems that developers are still going to be facing. What problems are there?
I’m going to list 5 problems, and for the remainder of my time, I’m going to talk about how we’re tackling these problems with open-source development, and I hope I will interest some of you in joining the project and participating in the solution.
So here they are [read off slide]. I am going to discuss some approaches to problems 2, 3 and 4.
This slide really sums up the approach we’re trying to take to solving these problems. Each of the circles represents an area of active research relevant to the problems I just posed. And in each area, we’re choosing a small area relevant to augmented reality. Because each of these areas is very large on its own! And the idea illustrated here is that if we carefully combine solutions from each area, we will generate a cohesive whole that is very useful and relevant to AR.
This video shows some of the possibilities for far more engaging interaction when we allow the user to directly influence and alter the represented digital content. Although this particular example is not recent, we are just now at the point where we can achieve some of the same techniques using a monocular optical pathway.
We are all familiar now with the use of QR codes, but use of QR codes in AR is problematic, and not only because they’re visually ugly, but because they have poor utility as sources of tracking information. augmented.info markers simultaneously address both appearance and trackability aspects in a robust way. The system supports both online and offline modes for ID lookup.
There is a lot that could be said about the integration of IoT with AR, but one easy integration we’re planning to target in artoolkitX is to utilise the rich data source provided by your in-homeIoT networks and to map that sensor space into a visual space.
It’s unfortunate that the problem of visual realism in AR is still widely treated as an output problem on the visualisation pipeline. However, in order to effectively increase the visual match between virtual and real objects, we need to actively sense the environment; this is the photometric registration problem. There are a number of useful techniques we plan to make available in the AR pipeline, independent of the final rendering engine.
This recent research is one of the first low-cost techniques I’ve seen that doesn’t depend on placing probes into the real scene.
I’d like to conclude this overview with a brief exposition of how the artoolkitX project operates and how commercial users, educational and government funded partners, and independent developers can benefit from participation.
The artoolkitX project has a long open-source history. The benefits of open source are self-evident to anyone who has ever picked up an open-source library or application as a user.
Enterprise users often mistakenly believe that open-source is incompatible with commercial goals. To that I would counter that all of the largest tech companies are significant users and contributors to open-source, and in the case of both Apple and Google, have core commercial operating systems built on open-source foundations. So when applied at the appropriate part of the value chain, open source can help you get closer to the sweet spot between cheap, fast and good quality.
