This document presents a problem statement to build a web/mobile application that can analyze personality traits of users and their friends from social media data in order to find commonalities between them. It involves using IBM Watson services like Personality Insights to infer the Big Five personality characteristics of individuals from text data and identify traits, interests, and preferences that they share. The application would allow authenticating with social media accounts to access profile data and visualize friend connections and classifications. It should be developed using Python and can leverage any mobile platforms.

In this presentation, we present a framework that defines social media using seven functional building blocks: identity, presence, relationships, conversations, groups, reputations and sharing. As different social media activities are defined by the extent to which they focus on some or all of these blocks, we explain the implications that each block can have for how firms should engage with social media. To conclude we present a number of recommendations for how firms should develop strategies for monitoring, understanding and responding to different social media activities.

Humans communication is generally under the control of emotions and full of opinions. Emotions and their opinions plays an important role in thinking process of mind, influences the human actions too. Sentiment analysis is one of the ways to explore user’s opinion made on any social media and networking site for various commercial applications in number of fields. This paper takes into account the basis requirements of opinion mining to explore the present techniques used to developed an full fledge system. Is highlights the opportunities or deployment and research of such systems. The available tools used for building such applications have even presented with their merits and limitations.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
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.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Problem statement-1-friend-affinity-finder
1. Problem Statement 1
Friend Affinity Finder
We live in the age of social media. Last few years have seen active and animated social
engagement from all strata of society, which has led to explosion in information sharing. We
have now more friends than anytime earlier, thanks to various social media platform like
Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter and many more. It is therefore important and
appropriate to understand more about the commonalities that we share with our friends in
terms of their behavior, choices, likes and dislikes and so much more.
The problem statement can leverage on the Big Five personality characteristics which
represent the most widely used model for generally describing how a person engages with
the world. The model includes five primary dimensions:
• Agreeableness is a person's tendency to be compassionate and cooperative toward
others.
• Conscientiousness is a person's tendency to act in an organized or thoughtful way.
• Extraversion is a person's tendency to seek stimulation in the company of others.
• Emotional range, also referred to as Neuroticism or Natural reactions, is the extent
to which a person's emotions are sensitive to the person's environment.
• Openness is the extent to which a person is open to experiencing different activities.
Each of these top-level dimensions has six facets that further characterize an individual
according to the dimension. For detailed learning refer to the links under resources.
Problem Description
The problem statement can be broken into the following segments:
1. Infer personality characteristics from textual information such as tweets, social media
interactions, and other digital communications.
2. Analyzing nature of different people and mapping it with ours, to understand them
better and finding commonalities for a healthy relationship, driven by needs and
values.
3. Gain insight into how and why people think, act, and feel the way they do, which can
help in shaping our responses towards them in more informative and cordial way.
4. Identify the user’s inclination including his coding interest, programming language
choices, music interest, shopping preferences etc. from his digital footprint including
information available from Reddit and Stack Overflow.
5. Build a machine learning model from the features extracted from the personality
information using Big Five personality characteristics to perform a data visualization to
classify your friends
Expectation
The web/mobile application should be able to analyze personality traits of people and based
on this should be able to get insight about their inclinations, choices and commonality with
the other people associated with them. The solution can leverage social media platforms to
access publicly accessible information or use authentication from legal users for access to
information available on social networking platforms.
2. Evaluation Criteria
The evaluation parameters are listed on the hackathon landing page.
Tools & Technology
1. Python 2-3, IBM Cloud Utilities Python Environment.
2. Watson services like Personality Insights, NLU, Tone analysis available on IBM Cloud
