Evolution of Yandex’s Algorithms: from keywords to better user experience, from penalties to better understanding of user behavior, from static to dynamic ranking factors, from desktop to mobile search
2013 Internet Marketing Trends (and How They'll Affect Your Organization)Kane Jamison
In the past year we've seen large changes in internet marketing in the form of increased mobile adoption, rapidly changing metrics and KPIs, and a sharp upswing in organizations investing in better content to support their existing marketing efforts. Kane will take a look at some recent stats on user interaction and marketing trends and discuss common changes many organizations will see as a result, inside and outside of the marketing department.
Yandex is a Russian internet company that offers a wide range of services, including search engines, email, maps, and ride-hailing services. In 2019, Yandex experienced a massive data breach that exposed the personal information of millions of users.
Workshop #1: Introduction to Search Engines
Search engines (Google, Yahoo, etc.) are little hungry monsters that you constantly need to feed with keywords, presented in a logical manner, in order to get their attention! Search engines index Web pages individually. If one of your pages is successful (good positioning) for a given term, this does not mean that all of your website’s pages will fare as well. This workshop will address various techniques to follow in order to be successful with all of your pages. In order to do so, you must first understand how search engines work.
Workshop #2: Your Website’s Architecture
The architecture of a website has a considerable impact on search engine optimization efforts. A poor architecture will limit the number of pages found and indexed by robots, regardless of all the optimization efforts… they will simply be invisible. Robots love, and derive their primary sustenance, from text. The goal of stellar architecture is to provide text in a format that is simple and easy to read by robots. This website is aimed at content creators and will present various aspects of architecture that must be taken into account in order to reach this objective.

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.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
