The document discusses using natural language processing techniques to generate abstractive summaries of multimedia content, including video and audio, by extracting salient objects and events and generating descriptive text. It proposes applying these techniques to automatically generate more detailed synopses and summaries that integrate information across multiple modalities and videos. The authors envision the text summaries relating relevant videos to queries and potentially flagging outliers.

IC-SDV 2019: Down-to-earth machine learning: What you always wanted your data...Dr. Haxel Consult
Applications of machine learning on NLP tasks today receive a lot of attention and have been shown to yield state of the art results on a wide range of tasks. We describe several cases where machine learning is deployed productively under the usual constaints of real-world projects: Real-world requirements, fast throughput, reasonably low requirements in terms of training corpus size and high quality results. What we observe is a general trend towards open source - also our components are open source. With the software being mostly freely available, among the key success criteria for many NLP projects today therefore is first and foremost the necessary expertise required to combine, tune and apply open source components.

Surviving agile remote teams - why remote work is a SKILLJens Broos
While agile tradition recommends having a co-located team sitting together and having a face-to-face communication on an everyday basis, there are a lot of good and compelling reasons to work in distributed teams: Perhaps you are unable to find more qualified talent in your city? Maybe your company decided to do a cross-department project?
When it comes to self-organized remote teams, there are a lot of obstacles that may occur, making it hard for your team to survive.
This talk is going to show good practices to improve your remote collaboration - even under those difficult conditions.

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.

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
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

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.

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.

2. Multimedia Retrieval and Summarization
“Traditional” Multimedia Retrieval and Summarization
Select frames and shots that are most informative
Save user time by avoiding repetitions etc. (BBC Rushes Summarization)
Recent Advances in Natural Language Processing
Replace “extractive” summarization of text with “abstractive” techniques
Use Statistical Machine Translation as a general technique to convert long
“foreign” symbol sequence into concise English text
Would this not apply nicely to Multi-media?
Easily have huge amounts of data
“Skimming”, “tagging” with keywords, or “liking” clearly doesn’t do justice to
relevance, complexity and potential of Multi-media
3. What’s Next?
Generate more detailed synopses, add temporal aspects, properties
Add more modalities (sounds, etc.)
“What is in these videos?”
Text could summarize multiple videos at once
Attract interest to (groups of) videos
“Why is this video relevant? Or different?”
Text can relate a retrieved video to the query
Text can potentially flag false alarms, outliers
5. Feature Definition

objects from “Event Kit”

features
Explication: A vehicle is any device, motorized or not, used to transport people and/or other
items. Tires are ring-shaped inflated objects, usually made of rubber, that fit over the wheel of a Intersect both sets
vehicle. The process for replacing a tire includes removing the existing tire and installing the new tire
onto the wheel of the vehicle. Tires typically are replaced because they are damaged or worn down. If
a tire is damaged and loses air pressure as a result, it is called a "flat tire". Generally the driver of the Use ontologies to resolve
vehicle with a flat tire will stop the vehicle as soon as possible and replace the affected tire with a
temporary tire called a "spare tire”, which may be stored elsewhere on/in the vehicle. In other cases,
the tire may be changed not by the vehicle operator, but by a professional (e.g. a mechanic) who may

6. MER Approach: Feature Extraction
What to mention:
Take visual evidence (for 100s of classes) for video
Re-rank using manually determined “importance”
How to mention:
Present as corroborating or contraindicative
