Der Rückblick zum #OSSYM24 macht Laune auf das nächste Treffen rund um neue #Suchtechnologien und faire Alternativen zu #BigTech. Das nächste Symposium zu #OpenSearch findet ab 8. Oktober statt. Bis heute können Vortrags- und Workshopthemen für die Veranstaltung in Helsinki eingereicht werden: Film sehen, schnell ein Kurzkonzept schreiben und dabeisein.

🇫🇮 #ossym25 will take us to Finland this fall!
The 7th International Open Search Symposium brings together the #OpenSearch & #OpenData Community for 3 consecutive days.

🤠 Curious what to expect?
If you haven't attended #ossym in the past, you can get some impressions from #ossym24 – which was hosted by Leibniz Supercomputing Centre – in our video below. 👇

📍 OpenWebSearch.eu is an active partner in the #OpenSearchInitiative. We hope to see you in #Helsinki in the fall!

Die #SC24 wird uns sicher noch weiter beschäftigen, aber an diesem Wochenende machen wir Pause. Es gibt spannenden Hintergrund vom #OSSYM24, das im Oktober am LRZ stattfand und sich #suchtechnologien, vor allem aber den Alternativen zu bekannten #Suchmaschinen und einem demokratischeren, humaneren Netz widmete. Hier können Sie Vortrags- und Diskussionsthemen nachlesen: https://e-publishing.cern.ch/index.php/OSSYM/issue/view/172/140

22 papers from 68 authors – #ossym24 offered a broad spectrum of scientific work on on the topics of #internetsearch and #openwebsearch.

Vol. 6 of the International Open Search Symposium proceedings summarises the research results that were presented at the @LRZ_DE in Munich.

🤩 We already look forward to the next year's conference – the #ossym25, taking place from 8 - 10 October 2025 at CSC - IT Center for Science.

Building a free and open web search environment is a community effort! 🧑‍🤝‍🧑

That's why we were glad for the opportunity to host a community meet-up during #ossym24 a few weeks ago.

🌮It’s a wrap for #ossym24
Day 3 in a nutshell:

In her Keynote, Nina Leseberg from Wikimedia Germany shared insights into the topic of community based content curation.

2 „Ethics & Society“ panels fuled discussions, e.g. re transparency labels + environmental factors of AI in WebSearch.

In the student session Daphne Auer shared her concept of User-Driven Re-Ranking for an Adaption of the Variety in Search Results; Felice Douglas & Susanne Krol shared creative curation for #OWS

Stats page on the #OpenSource #SearchEngine #Mwmbl is finally fixed. And crawling should be working again.

Feeling a new level of motivation after attending the excellent #OSSym24 🎉

🌐 This week, @osf organized the 6th International Open Search Symposium, that has just finished today!

The #NGISargasso team has really enjoyed attending the conference to network with the #OpenSearch European & international community at @LRZ_DE.

Daphne Auer discusses user-driven re-ranking for adapting the variety in search results. #OSSYM24

Great monologue of Renée Ridgway about the ethics and values of open source and open search. #OSSYM24

Great talk by Alex de Vries on energy efficiency of search: the big culprit is AI. ChatGPT takes at least 10 times more energy than a "standard" (already quite wasteful) Google search. #OSSYM24

Rik Viergever from e/OS and Murena discusses the open source maps app to be develooed for the Murena smartphones. #OSSYM24

Nina Leseberg of Wikimedia Deutschland: Wikimedia is making a text-based version of Wikidata, so LLMs can "read" it (=trained on it). #ironic #OSSYM24

Big Tech Must Go! "The gini coefficient of the distributiion of traffic on websites in Germany equals... 0.988 (1.0 would be all traffic to one site)"

🤗 #NGIprojects collaboration at #ossym24!

We are discussing potential synergies with @ngisearch & @openwebsearcheu to collaborate in the creation of an #InternetForHumans.

Meet Megi Sharikadze (Head of Research at @LRZ_DE 🇩🇪) & Stefan Voigt (@osf 🇩🇪) from #OpenWebSearch, and Mirko Presser (Professor at Aarhus University 🇩🇰), representing #NGISearch.

Stimmungsbilder vom ersten #OSSYM24-Tag: Großartige Vorträge und Keynotes von Florian Herrmann, bayerische Staatskanzlei, Roberto Viola, Europäische Kommission, und viel Hintergrund zu #websuche, #Suchtechnologie und ein #Internet, das weitgehend von kommerziellen Interessen befreit wird. Und es geht schon weiter hier beim #OSSYM

#onlinesuche, #freewebsearch, #opensearch, #openscience, #discoverLRZ

Enjoyed the you.com keynote by Richard Socher, and excellent Q&A session, at #OSSYM2024 in LRZ Munich today.

One insight: ppl don't pay for search, but businesses might pay for increased productivity. They focus on generating reports as answers for complex info needs, much like the TREC CAR work pioneered by @dietz

#ossym24

Richard Socher from https://you.com: You made great steps in Retrieval Augmented Generation (You stopped calling itself a search engine, because unfortunately, search is not very "novel" anymore.) #OSSYM24

#ossym24 was also the occasion for us to talk about our cooperation with On My Disk, a private cloud solution for which PeARS is building a decentralised search client. More on this here soon!
