For those of you who will still be there at #DHd2024 on Friday morning: if you want to know how to implement a #knowledgegraph based research data ecosystem (not only) for @nfdi4culture, please come and listen to our presentation on "Communities, Harvesting, and CGIF: Building the Research…

On corporate silos:
"Silos are inevitable and unavoidable. They’re a consequence of team-based working. They exist in almost every organisation, and destroying them - even “breaking them down”, which is the stereotypical way of talking about this task - is pretty much impossible"

Breaking Data Silos: Cross-Domain Learning for Multi-Agent Perception from Independent Private Sources
The diverse agents in multi-agent perception systems may be from different companies. Each company might use the identical classic neural network architecture based encoder for feature extraction. However, the data source to train the various agents is independent and private in each company, leading to the Distribution Gap of different private data for training distinct agents in multi-agent perception system. The data silos by the above Distribution Gap could result in a significant performan…

FedFDP: Federated Learning with Fairness and Differential Privacy
Federated learning (FL) is a new machine learning paradigm to overcome the challenge of data silos and has garnered significant attention. However, through our observations, a globally effective trained model may performance disparities in different clients. This implies that the jointly trained models by clients may lead to unfair outcomes. On the other hand, relevant studies indicate that the transmission of gradients or models in federated learning can also give rise to privacy leakage issue…

Robot Fleet Learning via Policy Merging
Fleets of robots ingest massive amounts of heterogeneous streaming data silos generated by interacting with their environments, far more than what can be stored or transmitted with ease. At the same time, teams of robots should co-acquire diverse skills through their heterogeneous experiences in varied settings. How can we enable such fleet-level learning without having to transmit or centralize fleet-scale data? In this paper, we investigate policy merging (PoMe) from such distributed heteroge…

Dependency Aware Incident Linking in Large Cloud Systems
Despite significant reliability efforts, large-scale cloud services inevitably experience production incidents that can significantly impact service availability and customer's satisfaction. Worse, in many cases one incident can lead to multiple downstream failures due to cascading effects that creates several related incidents across different dependent services. Often time On-call Engineers (OCEs) examine these incidents in silos that lead to significant amount of manual toil and increase the…

“The future hinges on our ability to both reform the current system and create a new one that genuinely serves the best interests of humanity. To achieve this, we must break down data silos to encourage collaboration, create market conditions in which a diversity of options thrive to fuel creativity, and shift away from polarising content to an environment shaped by a diversity of voices and perspectives that nurture empathy and understanding.”

Marking the Web’s 35th Birthday: An Open Letter - World Wide Web Foundation
Original Hope Three and a half decades ago, when I invented the web, its trajectory was impossible to imagine. There was no roadmap to predict the course of its evolution, it was a captivating odyssey filled with unforeseen opportunities and challenges. Underlying its whole infrastructure was the intention to allow for collaboration, foster compassion and
