"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

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.
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.

4. Hyundai Mobis reveals infotainment
gesture control
The world’s sixth-largest automotive supplier informs they have developed
industry-first technology that enables drivers to control in-vehicle
infotainment displays with gestures. Part of Hyundai Motor Group,
the company’s Quick Menu Selection pop-up display technology uses
sensors to detect the movement of nearby objects. The technology,
which has already been demonstrated, will allow drivers to find frequently
used functions on-screen with gestures only, then make a final selection
with one touch. Hyundai Mobis says Quick Menu Selection will ensure
users can better concentrate on driving, therefore enhancing safety.
The company recently showcased Mobis Infotainment System (MIS),
an infotainment platform developed with Luxift that can control six displays.

5. Bosch and IBM partner to
advance material science
The strategic quantum computing partnership will see the two
companies collaborate on projects related to material science for fuel
cells, electric engines or advanced sensor materials. Bosch will join the
IBM Quantum Network, made up of more than 200 companies, research
centers and educational institutions, which researches how quantum
will impact and benefit multiple industries. IBM will benefit from Bosch’s
experience in materials simulation in industrial environments, while Bosch
will gain access to IBM’s quantum technology and Qiskit Runtime as
a service. Together, they aim to develop quantum algorithms to help
improve energy efficiency and reduce consumption of natural
resources in industrial applications.

6. Valmet unveils intelligent,
sustainable valve controller
The global technology supplier for the pulp, paper and energy
industries has developed the modular Neles NDX 2.0 to enable more
sustainable valve control for process industries, valves and applications.
The company says the modular design makes it easy to install
on any valve and actuator of any size. It can also work in conjunction
with the most commonly used automation systems. Valmet also
claims the Neles NDX 2.0 uses 80-90% less air than conventional
controllers and will therefore use less energy and reduce emissions.

7. Meet ‘Spot’, Hyundai E&C’s
quadruped robot
Hyundai E&C has developed an unmanned, AI-enabled robot it calls
‘Spot’, designed to increase safety at construction sites. The robot
is fitted with sensors and communication equipment on its upper body,
and can independently navigate stairs, narrow spaces and rough terrain,
or move into blind spots to provide extra visibility. Spot has already been
tested in houses and tunnels, and can take photos and record videos
to provide real-time site monitoring. The robot can alert crews to
dangerous areas and help manage materials and equipment using
QR codes. Hyundai E&C will trial Spot at the Gimpo-Paju highway
site in South Korea in 2023, as part of the government's 'Smart
Construction Revitalization Plan'.

8. PORR pioneers sustainable,
cement-free construction material
PORR has developed a sustainable construction material that is already
being used in the Deutsche Bahn Filder Tunnel project. The annular
gap mortar uses recycled granulated slag – finely ground blast-furnace
slag that is a byproduct of steel manufacturing – instead of cement.
This is a significant innovation, given that 8% of global greenhouse
gas emissions come from cement production. The new material is less
sensitive to environmental factors that cement-based concrete and can
be transported for long periods before it is processed, since it needs
a special activator to fully harden. Following the pilot project’s success,
PORR is looking for more partners to trial the material in construction
projects. The company is also testing other recycled products for use
as binding agents, including brick sand.
05
9. ICON will help NASA develop
Moon infrastructure
The Texas company, which 3D prints houses, has been awarded
a $57.2 million contract to research and develop construction
technologies for building lunar infrastructure, including landing pads,
habitats and roads. The contract is part of NASA’s Artemis mission
to build a permanent, sustainable human presence on the Moon
by 2028, to support human missions to Mars. ICON’s own Olympus
construction system uses local resources for its projects, and that
concept will be replicated in the lunar project where it will attempt
to use Moon dust known as lunar regolith. ICON will also test its
hardware and software using a lunar gravity simulation flight.
ICON has already printed a 1,700-square-foot Martian habitat
here on Earth – Mars Dune Alpha – which NASA astronauts will
use for training and to simulate year-long stays on Mars.
06
10. ExxonMobil and MHI advance
carbon capture tech
ExxonMobil and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) are collaborating
on the development of next-generation carbon capture technologies,
with support from Japan’s The Kansai Electric Power Co. The work will
advance the KM CDR Process and Advanced KM CDR Process, a liquid
amine carbon capture technology developed by MHI and KEPCO, which
produces more than 1 million metric tons per year. MHI’s carbon capture
technology will be used as part of ExxonMobil's carbon capture and
storage solution for heavy-emitting industrial customers, with the aim
of reducing the overall cost of carbon dioxide capture.

11. Caterpillar demos first battery
electric large mining truck
The 793 large mining truck was completed with support from mining
customers in Caterpillar's Early Learner program, who have electrification
agreements with a host of companies including BHP and Rio Tinto.
The Early Learner program was created in 2021 to accelerate the
development of Caterpillar's battery electric trucks at customers' sites,
and help participants achieve their pledges to reduce and eliminate
greenhouse gas emissions from their operations. During the truck’s
live demonstration, it reached 60 km/h fully loaded, and in a downhill
run captured the energy that would typically be lost to heat and used
it to power the battery. The trial took place at Caterpillar's Tucson
Proving Ground in Arizona, which is being transformed into a test site
for the sustainable 'mine site of the future', using renewable energy, green
hydrogen production, natural gas, fuel cell power generation and other
sustainable technologies.
