Reduce Costs and Complexity with Backup-Free StorageHitachi Vantara
The growth in unstructured data stresses traditional backup and restore operations. Numerous, disparate systems with large numbers of files and duplicate copies of data increase backup and restore times and hurt the performance and availability of production systems. Cost and complexity rise, with more backup instances to buy and manage, more care and handling of an increasing numbers of tapes, and more management of offsite storage. In addition, you may need to support analytics, a compliance audit, or legal action that needs information that is stored offsite. By tiering data to an archive, you can reduce total backup volume by at least 30%. By extending that core archive to the edges of your business, your potential gains are worth investigating. View this webcast to learn how to: Lower capital expenses (hardware, software, licensing, and so on). Control maintenance costs. Simplify management complexity. Reduce backup volume, time cost, and time and administrative effort.

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.

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.
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.

makes it easy and affordable to support this
dynamic environment, with features to adapt
to spiraling market and creative demands (see
Figure 1).
■■ Intelligent Tiered Storage: Allows the
consolidation and deployment of different
types of storage within the same network
attached storage (NAS) system, based
on the profile of post-production applica-
tions, and optimizes active-file disk drives
with lower cost archival disk drives.
■■ Massive scaling: Up to 16PB useable
in a single namespace.
■■ Extreme throughput: Industry-leading
I/O rate of up to 283,000 IOPS (spec
SFS) and an industry-leading throughput
of up to 1,500MB/sec.
By improving data access and user loads
with extremely low latency, these systems
simplify collaboration among teams of art-
ists. Their enterprise-class management
tools provide ongoing access to each cre-
ative project’s critical files, which leads to
increased productivity in the digital pipeline
through improved performance and capacity.
Storage Systems That Scale With Your
Digital Workflow
Studios with heavy renders require maximum
throughput, while others might require lower
throughput, at a reduced cost. To scale
capacity and performance, most storage
systems require an expensive and potentially
disruptive “forklift” upgrade.
Hitachi Unified Storage and Hitachi NAS
Platform eliminate these issues by delivering
modular, cost-effective scalability for a
variety of storage needs and budgets (see

■■ Dynamic Read Caching: Scales NFS
read-based workload profiles, accelerating
read-intensive application performance.
■■ Easy upgrades: No expensive disruptive
replacements.
By partnering with Hitachi Data Systems
you can remove storage constraints.
These systems reduce artist idle times,
while opening and closing source files, by
providing smooth, simultaneous access
to shared data sets. This access removes
the need for duplicate data sets, reducing
versioning errors and greatly simplifying
data management.
Unmatched Performance and Lower
Production Costs
Built on patented hardware-accelerated
architecture, all Hitachi NAS Platform
systems deliver flexible, highly scalable,
high-performance storage solutions.

8PB, and extreme requirements reaching
16PB, this product line delivers remarkable
performance, regardless of capacity. This
approach enables creative teams to lower
their TCO while also ramping up to take on
new projects, hire more artists, or assume
higher-resolution engagements. In addition,
these systems are designed to support even
higher capacities, ensuring that today’s stor-
age investment will scale seamlessly with
your changing needs.
Intelligent Tiered Storage for Ultimate
Flexibility
Unlike traditional solutions that require a
separate storage server to address each
need, Hitachi Data Systems intelligent
tiered storage supports any combination
of disk drives behind a single Hitachi NAS
Platform system. Storage administrators can

automatically migrate lower-priority data to
less-costly storage tiers. The storage archi-
tecture enables administrators to manage
throughput, storage capacity and budgets,
depending on digital workflow requirements.
This architecture provides the ultimate in
flexibility and helps drive down costs.
Versatile, Easy-to-Manage Storage
Systems
HNAS storage platforms are ideal for a range
of uses, but they are particularly well suited
to consolidating multiple, disparate storage
systems into a single easy-to-manage
storage solution. HNAS (gateway) and HUS
(unified) systems support multiple applications
and a large number of concurrent users,
while requiring fewer storage devices than
traditional storage systems. Their concurrent
use of multiple protocols enables the con-
solidation of Microsoft®
Windows®
clients,
UNIX and Linux clients, and clients requiring
block data access, all with a single network
storage solution.
