The Next Generation of AI-powered SearchTrey Grainger
What does it really mean to deliver an "AI-powered Search" solution? In this talk, we’ll bring clarity to this topic, showing you how to marry the art of the possible with the real-world challenges involved in understanding your content, your users, and your domain. We'll dive into emerging trends in AI-powered Search, as well as many of the stumbling blocks found in even the most advanced AI and Search applications, showing how to proactively plan for and avoid them. We'll walk through the various uses of reflected intelligence and feedback loops for continuous learning from user behavioral signals and content updates, also covering the increasing importance of virtual assistants and personalized search use cases found within the intersection of traditional search and recommendation engines. Our goal will be to provide a baseline of mainstream AI-powered Search capabilities available today, and to paint a picture of what we can all expect just on the horizon.

What librarians should know about authenticationOpenAthens
An OpenAthens and EBSCO webinar.
This webinar discussed what Librarians should know about authentication and covered the main concepts of identity and access management including IP recognition, single sign-on, statistics and intelligence.
Abstract:
Proficiency in using educational technology tools is becoming increasingly important for all instructors and librarians. The question is which tools to use and how to make them a meaningful part of students’ experiences in classrooms and at reference desks. Educators should also be able to make the most of educational technology when providing services to distance education students.
This presentation will show some of the major types of educational technology tools used at the university level including screen-capture software, citation management software, research tools, course management systems, podcasting, presentation software, and Second Life. The presenter will give an overview of what technology exists, how it is used, and why it is worthwhile. Students expect more multimedia instruction both online and in-person. By using these tools professors and librarians can provide instruction that is more vibrant and interactive without sacrificing content.

Spark Machine Learning: Adding Your Own Algorithms and Tools with Holden Kara...Databricks
Apache Spark’s machine learning (ML) pipelines provide a lot of power, but sometimes the tools you need for your specific problem aren’t available yet. This talk introduces Spark’s ML pipelines, and then looks at how to extend them with your own custom algorithms. By integrating your own data preparation and machine learning tools into Spark’s ML pipelines, you will be able to take advantage of useful meta-algorithms, like parameter searching and pipeline persistence (with a bit more work, of course).
Even if you don’t have your own machine learning algorithms that you want to implement, this session will give you an inside look at how the ML APIs are built. It will also help you make even more awesome ML pipelines and customize Spark models for your needs. And if you don’t want to extend Spark ML pipelines with custom algorithms, you’ll still benefit by developing a stronger background for future Spark ML projects.
The examples in this talk will be presented in Scala, but any non-standard syntax will be explained.
Google forms provide an easy way to create online surveys and collect responses in a spreadsheet.

Information Retrieval Techniques of Google Cyr Ish
Google was founded in 1998 by Larry Page and Sergei Brin. It uses "spiders" to index web pages from links and fetch the pages they point to. When conducting searches, Google considers the order of words with the first being most important and ignores common words. It selects search results based on factors like page rank and proximity of terms.

Beyond the Advance Presentation for By the Book 9John Rodzvilla
In June 2020, L.L. McKinney, a Black author of young adult novels, began the #publishingpaidme hashtag to create a discussion on how the publishing industry treats Black authors: “what they’re paid. What the marketing is. How the books are treated. How one Black book not reaching its parameters casts a shadow on all Black books and all Black authors, and that’s not the same for our white counterparts.” (Grady 2020) McKinney’s call resulted in an online discussion across 65,000 tweets between authors of all races and the creation of a Google spreadsheet that collected information on over 2,000 titles.
While the conversation was originally meant to discuss the ethical value of book publishing, it became an economic assessment by authors of how publishers treated authors of color and women authors without a full analysis of the data collected. This paper would present the data collected from relevant tweets and the Google database to show not only the range of advances among participating authors split out by their race, gender, sexual orientation and the genre of their work, but also the publishers’ treatment of their titles in terms of deal announcements and pre-pub attention in industry publications. The paper is based on a multi-year project of cleaning and evaluating the collected data to assess what it reveals about the habits and strategies of American publishers in acquiring and promoting titles from a diverse group of authors across the literary, non-fiction, children’s, mystery, romance, and SFF genres.
