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.

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.

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.
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.

4. Why JISC? JISC’s role in research support
National infrastructure services for research such as the JANET network,
data centres to host published resources, repository infrastructure
– The provision complements that of other stakeholders
– Research funders - Research Councils, Funding Councils
– Data hosts e.g. National Data Centres
JISC supports universities and colleges
to make effective and efficient use of technology – in research and in the
management of research
Key themes:
Increasing the impact and visibility of research
Increasing research competitiveness
Management of research information
Collaboration with business and the community
Improved management of research data.
10/11/2011 slide 4
5. The challenge of data
– Volume
– Diversity (what is data, anyway?)
– ‘Long tail’
– Drivers for data management not well understood – complex picture due
to range of funders’ policies, other policies at multiple levels (European,
UK, each research council, each institution)
– Good management practice not yet well understood
• so not embedded into research practice
– Institutional roles and responsibilities may be unclear
– Responsibility for meeting costs not yet established.

7. Drivers: Research Integrity
UK Research Integrity Office Code of Practice for Research: Promoting
good practice and preventing misconduct, September 2009
Data management planning is an essential part of research design
[3.4.1.c; also 3.12.6]
Section 3.12 covers collection AND RETENTION of research data.
Organisations and researchers should ensure that research data relating
to publications is available for discussion with other researchers, subject to
any existing agreements on confidentiality. [3.12.1]
Organisations should have in place procedures, resources (including
physical space) and administrative support to assist researchers in the
accurate and efficient collection of data and its storage in a secure and
accessible form. [3.12.5]
Due regard to privacy, confidentiality and ethical issues.
Research integrity requires addressing these issues in order to make
data as ‘shareable’ as possible.
10/11/2011 slide 7
8. Drivers: Funders’ Policies
Research funders’ policies form an important part of the research data ecology.
In common with international developments, requirements are becoming
increasingly exacting.
Many policy statements reference the OECD Principles and Guidelines for Access
to Research Data from Public Funding:
http://www.oecd.org/dataoecd/9/61/38500813.pdf
NSF recently added the requirement of a data management plan to grant
proposals: http://www.arl.org/rtl/eresearch/escien/nsf/index.shtml
Health Research Funders’ ‘Joint Statement of Purpose: Sharing research data to
improve public health’: http://www.wellcome.ac.uk/About-us/Policy/Spotlight-
issues/Data-sharing/Public-health-and-epidemiology/WTDV030690.htm
– making research data sets available to investigators beyond the original research
team in a timely and responsible manner, subject to appropriate safeguards, will
generate three key benefits:
• faster progress in improving health;
• better value for money;
• higher quality science.
10/11/2011 slide 8
9. Joint RCUK Policy
RCUK Common Principles on Data Policy:
http://www.rcuk.ac.uk/research/Pages/DataPolicy.aspx
1. Publicly funded research data are a public good, produced in the public
interest and therefore should be made as openly available as possible;
2. Institutional and project specific data management policies and plans should
be in accordance with relevant standards and community best practice;
3. Sufficient metadata should be recorded and made openly available to enable
other researchers to understand the research and re-use potential of the
data;
4. Legal, ethical and commercial constraints on release of research data must
be recognised;
5. Recognition and ‘reward’ for managing and sharing research data are
essential, and so limited embargo periods on the release of data are
acceptable;
6. All users of research data should acknowledge the sources of their data and
abide by the terms and conditions under which they are accessed;
7. It is appropriate to use public funds to support the management and sharing
of publicly-funded research data, but this should be done in as cost-effective
and efficient way as possible.
Infrastructure implications to be inferred rather than directly stated?
10/11/2011 slide 9
10. Drivers: Funders’ Policies
New MRC policies on research data management and sharing being
prepared; tested and refined; guidance produced as part of a JISC funded
project.
BBSRC Statement, April 2007, updated June 2010:
http://www.bbsrc.ac.uk/web/FILES/Policies/data-sharing-policy.pdf
– Requires statement on data sharing.
New ESRC policy now in vigour: http://www.esrc.ac.uk/about-
esrc/information/data-policy.aspx
– Introduces the requirement of a data management and sharing statement (J-eS)
and a data management and sharing plan as part of the grant submission
10/11/2011 slide 10
11. Drivers: Funders’ Policies (EPSRC)
Responsibility:
EPSRC has a Policy Framework stating expectations concerning the
Management of and Access to EPSRC-funded Research Data. Places
responsibility with institutions, departments and centres in receipt of
EPSRC funding to show they can manage and preserve data to
adequate standards.
Appropriate division of costs:
EPSRC believes that where research has been publicly-funded it is reasonable and
appropriate to use public funds to also fund the associated data management
costs. EPSRC therefore expects research organisations to make appropriate
provision from within public research funding received, making use of both direct
and indirect funding streams as appropriate.
http://www.epsrc.ac.uk/about/standards/researchdata/Pages/responsibility.aspx
10/11/2011 slide 11
12. Drivers: Freedom of Information and
Environmental Information requests
Research data can be subject to Freedom of Information /
Environmental Information requests: UEA and Queen’s
University Belfast cases.
Guidance available at JISC Q&A on ‘Freedom of Information
and Research Data’:
http://www.jisc.ac.uk/publications/programmerelated/2010/foir
esearchdata.aspx
Indicative research on numbers of FoI requests for research
data: sample of 21 Universities, received total of 40 FoI
requests for research data from 2007-10.
–Wide variance in distribution 12 universities received 0; 1
received 8; another 9.
–All but six were from 2009 and 2010;
• Indicates a growing trend.
10/11/2011 slide 12
13. Driver: preparation for Research Excellence
Framework submissions in 2013
Good data management practice improves and reduces the burden of data
collection for institutions
– Need to embed practices into key roles – researchers, research
managers, administrators.
Demonstrate the contribution that research makes to the economy and
society (impact)
Opening up data provides one level of increased opportunity for ‘citizen
science’, etc.
Can be aided by research information management systems
JISC has funded universities to demonstrate the benefits of using the
Common European Research Information Format (CERIF) to manage
research information
– The cost of use is more than offset by efficiency savings.

30. JISC UMF Shared Services and Cloud Programme
Strand A: Shared IT Infrastructure:
http://www.jisc.ac.uk/whatwedo/programmes/umf.aspx
JANET(UK) brokerage to create trusted cloud(s) for HE.
Pilot Cloud provided by Eduserv.
Augment the role of DCC (in part to deploy tools in the cloud).
‘Killer RDM Apps’ developed to be deployed as Software as a
Service.
31. RDM SaaS Applications
VIDaaS (Virtual Infrastructure for Database as a Service),
University of Oxford: http://vidaas.oucs.ox.ac.uk/
DataFlow, University of Oxford: http://www.dataflow.ox.ac.uk/
Smart Research Framework, University of Southampton:

Leicester
32. Financial Savings
OXREP case study:
Estimated research savings
during 2010 = 21%
Estimated data hosting savings during
2010 = 37%
(just central VI, not cloud hosted)
Comparison of DaaS hosting costs:
Single physical server running 30 2GB database instances = £125
Oxford VM running on local VI with 100 2GB instances = £79
Oxford VM running on local VI with 100 8GB instances = £109
Eduserv VM running on VI with 500 8GB instances = £76-98
Amazon VM with 8GB instances = £660-744
33. Making the Case:
recognition, rewards, benefits
Data Citation
– DCC how to guide on data citation (in preparation)
– DCC Briefing Paper on Data Citation and Linking:
http://www.dcc.ac.uk/resources/briefing-papers/introduction-
curation/data-citation-and-linking
– BL is a founding member of DataCite
– Currently have DataCite user group; will be extending this and
working with JISCMRD Projects
34. Dryad: a repository for supporting research data
Joint declarations, Feb 2010, in American Naturalist, Evolution, the Journal of
Evolutionary Biology, Molecular Ecology, Heredity, and other key journals in
evolution and ecology:
http://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/full/10.1086/650340
This journal requires, as a condition for publication, that data supporting
the results in the paper should be archived in an appropriate public
archive, such as GenBank, TreeBASE, Dryad, or the Knowledge Network
for Biocomplexity.
Allows embargos of up to one year; allows exceptions for, e.g., sensitive
information such as human subject data or the location of endangered species.
Data that have an established standard repository, such as DNA sequences,
should continue to be archived in the appropriate repository, such as GenBank.
For more idiosyncratic data, the data can be placed in a more flexible digital
data library such as the National Science Foundation-sponsored Dryad archive
at http://datadryad.org.'
35. Dryad-UK: a repository for supporting research data
Dryad-UK
Expand the number of journals: BMJ Open, titles from PLoS and BioMed Central:
Prepare a business model for long term funding of the data repository: supported by
payments from journals, in turn recouped from subscription or author-pays OA fees.
Benefits?
Benefits for researchers: indications that publishing
data increases citation rates
