"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.

most popular platforms because of its intuitive features and high-quality audio and
video.

recording. Free to use, it’s also highly customizable, making it suitable for
advanced users looking to play around with the software.

4. 3. XSplit Broadcaster
XSplit Broadcaster is the primary tool we will focus on, although both the
other tools XSplit offers can be used to allow you to live stream as well.
Some of the top features of XSplit Broadcaster include: XSplit has three
primary products: Broadcaster, Vcam, and Connect Webcam.

little confusing to navigate, and does have a bit of a learning curve. Some
features require you to watch an advertisement before using the features.
The program can strain some systems.
Compatibility:-
XSplit works with the Windows operating system. Although it is not
currently compatible with macOS, a dedicated version that works with that
operating system is coming soon.
5. vMix is a highly powerful encoder and was developed by StudioCoast. The latest version of the Windows-specific
software is 24.0.0.72 and includes an upgrade to a free 60 day trial of vMix PRO for download. While vMix 24 is for Windows

support. Additionally, it offers an instant replay and slow-motion feature. It is one of the best live streaming software options
for Windows PCs.
