A talk for the Institute of Data Analytics and High Performance Computing Chalk and Talk lunch series on Thursday April 25, 2014.
This high level talk discusses materials science on the grounds of the information that drive new discoveries in materials science. Understanding the nature of the data that encompasses the landscape of materials science is important for the next generation workforce and the emerging discipline of Materials Data Scientist
Data Science Solutions by Materials Scientists: The Early Case StudiesTony Fast
Improvements in algorithms, technology, and computation are directly impacting the landscape of information use in materials science. The 3 V’s of Big Data (volume, velocity, and variety) are becoming evermore apparent within all sectors of the field. Novel approaches will be required to confront the emerging data deluge and extract the richest knowledge from simulated and empirical information in complex evolving 3-D spaces. Microstructure Informatics (μInformatics) is an emerging suite of signal processing techniques, advanced statistical tools, and data science methods tailored specifically for this new frontier. μInformatics curates and transforms large collections of materials science information using efficient workflows to extract knowledge of bi-directional structure-property/processing connections for most material classes.
In this talk, a few early case studies in data-driven methods to solve materials science problems will be explored. Emerging spatial statistics tools will be explored that enable an objective comparison of static and evolving 3-D material volumes from molecular dynamics simulation, micro-CT, and Scanning Electron Microscopy. Also, the statistics will provide a foundation to create improved bottom-up homogenization relationships in fuel cell materials. Lastly, applications of the Materials Knowledge System, a data-driven meta-model to create top-down localization relationships will be explored for phase field model and finite element model information.
Higher-Order Localization Relationships Using the MKS Approach Tony Fast
Presentation on a parallelizable, effective models technique to replace costly simulation techniques (e.g. Finite Element Models or Phase Field Simulation). This presentation was given at the ASME 2011 Applied Mechanics and Materials Conference In Chicago, IL.

Microstructural and Dielectric Characterization of Sr doped Ba(Fe0.5Ta0.5)O3 ...theijes
Solid state reaction method was used to synthesize Ba1-xSrx(Fe0.5Ta0.5)O3 ceramic(x=0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5). The raw materials of making Sr doped Ba(Fe0.5Ta0.5)O3 were BaCO3, SrCO3, Fe2O3, Ta2O5 (purity better than 99%). Pellet and ring shaped samples prepared from each composition were sintered at 1400 and 1450ºC for 5 hour. The phase formation of Ba1-xSrx(Fe0.5Ta0.5)O3 was checked using X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique and observed a cubic perovskite crystal structure in space group Pm3m (221). Microstructure of the individual compound was examined by the field emission scanning electron micrograph (FESEM). Grain size was found to be varied with Sr content. The lattice parameter decreased with increasing Sr content. Dielectric spectroscopy was applied to investigate the electrical properties of BSFT at room temperature and in a frequency range of 100Hz–100 MHz. An analysis of the dielectric constant εʹ and loss tangent tan with frequency was performed assuming a distribution of relaxation times. The low frequency dielectric dispersion corresponds to the DC electrical conductivity.
Preparation and properties of polycrystalline YBa2Cu3o7-x and Fe mixturesKrzysztof Pomorski
The polycrystalline samples of YBa2Cu3O7-x High-Temperature Superconductor (HTS), also called „YBCO-123”, were prepared by mixing (II) oxide (CuO), carbonate (BaCO3) and yttrium (III) oxide (Y2O3) powders and followed by a heat treatment high temperature (900 °C - 950 °C) flowing oxygen. The polycrystalline samples of YBCO-Fe composites were prepared by grinding the mixture of single phased YBCO-123 and small of iron (1% and 3% wt.), followed over by a heat treatment . The results of structural (SEM, EDS, Raman spectroscopy), magnetic (AC susceptibility and magnetization measurements) and magneto-transport on produced composites will be presented. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for YBCO and Fe mixtures showed iron particles homogeneously placed on YBCO grains boundaries. As the concentration of iron particles increased the critical temperature decreased. The magnetization measurements LN temperature revealed transition from diamagnetic to paramagnetic behaviour of YBCO-Fe samples originated from the iron grains.

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.
"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.

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.
