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.

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.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule

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.

4. Elicitation
• Sometimes called requirements elicitation
or requirements discovery
• Involves technical staff working with
customers to find out about the
application domain, the services that the
system should provide and the system’s
operational constraints
• May involve end-users, managers,
engineers involved in maintenance,
domain experts, trade unions, etc. These
are called stakeholders
6. Activities within Elicitation
• Define a requirements development process
• Write a vision and scope document
• Identify user classes and their characteristics
• Select a product champion for each user class
• Establish focus groups of typical users
• Work with user requirements to identify use cases
• Identify system events and responses
• Hold facilitated elicitation workshops
• Observe users performing their jobs
• Examine problem reports of current system for requirement
idea
• Reuse requirements across projects
7. Problem with Elicitation
• Stakeholders don’t know what they really want
• Stakeholders express requirements in their own terms
• Different stakeholders may have conflicting requirements
• Organisational and political factors may influence the
system requirements
• The requirements change during the analysis process.
New stakeholders may emerge
8. Difficulties of Elicitation
• Thin spread of domain knowledge
– The knowledge might be distributed across many sources
• It is rarely available in an explicit form
– There will be conflicts between knowledge from different
sources
• People have conflicting goals
• People have different understanding of the problem
• Tacit knowledge (The “say-do”problem)
– People find it hard to describe knowledge they regularly
use
• Description may be inaccurate rationalizations of expert
behaviour
9. Difficulties of Elicitation
• Limited Observability
– The problem owners might be too busy solving it using the
existing system
– Presence of an observer may change the problem
• Bias
– People may not be free to tell you what you need to know
• Political climate & organizational factors matter
– People may not want to tell you what you need to know
• The outcome will affect them, so they may try to
influence you (hidden agendas)
10. Elicitation Techniques
Traditional techniques
• Introspection
• Reading existing documents
• Analysing hard data (collection)
• Interviews
– Open-ended
– Structured
• Surveys / Questionnaires
• Meetings
14. Background Reading
Sources of information:
• company reports, organization charts, policy manuals, job
descriptions,
• reports, documentation of existing systems, etc.
Advantages:
• Helps the analyst to get an understanding of the organization
before
• meeting the people who work there.
• Helps to prepare for other types of fact finding, e.g. by being
aware of
• the business objectives of the organization.
• may tell you the detailed requirements for the current system.
Disadvantages:
• written documents often do not match up to reality.
• Can be long-winded with much irrelevant detail
Appropriate for
• projects where analyst is not familiar with the organization being
investigated.
15. Hard Data Collection
Identify Collections of Hard Data
• Facts and figures, financial information,…
• Reports used for decision making,…
• Survey results, marketing data,…
Sampling
• Sampling used to select representative set
from a population
– Purposive Sampling - choose the parts you think are
relevant without worrying about statistical issues
– Simple Random Sampling - choose every kth element
– Stratified Random Sampling - identify strata and
sample each
– Clustered Random Sampling - choose a representative
subpopulation and sample it
16. Hard Data Collection
Sampling
• Sample Size is important
– balance between cost of data collection/analysis and
required significance
• Process:
– Decide what data should be collected - e.g. banking
transactions
– Determine the population to be sampled - e.g. all
transactions at 5 local branches over one week
– Choose type of sample - e.g. simple random sampling
– Choose sample size - e.g. every 10th transaction
17. Interviews
Types:
• Structured - agenda of fairly open questions
• Open-ended - no pre-set agenda
Advantages
• Rich collection of information
– Good for uncovering opinions, feelings, goals, as well as
hard facts
• Can probe in depth, & adapt followup questions to what the
person tells you
Disadvantages
• Large amount of qualitative data can be hard to analyze
• Hard to compare different respondents
• Interviewing is a difficult skill to master
Watch for
• Unanswerable questions (“how do you tie your shoelaces?”)
• Tacit knowledge (and post-hoc rationalizations)
• Removal from context
• Interviewer’s attitude may cause bias (e.g. variable
attentiveness)
18. Questioners
Advantages
• Can quickly collect info from large numbers of people
• Can be administered remotely
• Can collect attitudes, beliefs, characteristics
Disadvantages
• Simplistic (presupposed) categories provide very little context
• No room for users to convey their real needs
Watch for:
• Bias in sample selection
• Bias in self-selecting respondents
• Small sample size (lack of statistical significance)
• Open ended questions (very hard to analyze!)
• Leading questions ( “have you stopped beating your wife?”)
• Appropriation ( “What is this a picture of?”)
• Ambiguous questions (i.e. not everyone is answering the same
question)
Questionnaires MUST be prototyped and tested!
19. Meetings
Used for summarization and feedback
• E.g. meet with stakeholders towards the end of each stage:
– to discuss the results of the information gathering stage
– to conclude on a set of requirements
– to agree on a design etc.
• Use the meeting to confirm what has been learned, talk about findings
Meetings are an important managerial tool
• Used to move a system development project forward.
• Need to determine objectives for the meeting:
– E.g. presentation, problem solving, conflict resolution, progress
analysis, gathering and merging of facts, training, planning,...
• Plan the meeting carefully:
– Schedule the meeting and arrange for facilities
– Prepare an agenda and distribute it well in advance
– The meeting itself may be structured or unstructured depending on
objective;
– Keep track of time and agenda during the meeting
– Follow up with a written summary to be distributed to meeting
participants
– Special rules apply for formal presentations (and how to prepare
them), project walkthroughs, brainstorming,...
Editor's Notes
Concerns the gathering of information (capturing requirements) Involves technical staff working with customers to find out about the application domain, the services that the system should provide and the system’s operational constraints May involve end-users, managers, engineers involved in maintenance, domain experts, trade unions, etc. These are called stakeholders (people who has some interests in the system development). In every case, a stakeholder has losses and gains and this could colour their viewpoint.
