The document summarizes a research paper that compares the performance of MLP-based models to Transformer-based models on various natural language processing and computer vision tasks. The key points are:
1. Gated MLP (gMLP) architectures can achieve performance comparable to Transformers on most tasks, demonstrating that attention mechanisms may not be strictly necessary.
2. However, attention still provides benefits for some NLP tasks, as models combining gMLP and attention outperformed pure gMLP models on certain benchmarks.
3. For computer vision, gMLP achieved results close to Vision Transformers and CNNs on image classification, indicating gMLP can match their data efficiency.

Flutter Vikings 2022 - End to end IoT with Dart and FlutterChris Swan
Things need apps to manage them, which Flutter is great for, providing an easy way to build cross platform support. But things also need to get their data (securely and privately) to their apps, and Dart can be used for that. This presentation will walk through a use case demonstrated at Mobile World Congress (and now open sourced) that uses Dart to read sensor data through to Flutter for user presentation.

When we design together - Sabrina Mach, Ammara Gafoor and James Emmott
From three distinct perspectives, this talk will contend that design is an activity undertaken by everyone in a software development team. It occurs throughout the process of delivery — not only at the beginning or the end — and it is a powerful instrument for learning about and adapting to the problems our work seeks to solve, which is a shared responsibility. Making the best use of our multidisciplinary expertise in the activity of design requires forms of collaboration that are too often disrupted by the role-based silos that keep us separated and weaken the valuable contribution our diverse approaches could make to our collective efforts. If you care about accelerating time to market, improving customer experience, or building happy and productive teams, you will want to know why and how it matters that we believe ‘design is in everything that we do’.

Microsoft Build 2025 takeaways in one presentationDigitalmara
Microsoft Build 2025 introduced significant updates. Everything revolves around AI. DigitalMara analyzed these announcements:
• AI enhancements for Windows 11
By embedding AI capabilities directly into the OS, Microsoft is lowering the barrier for users to benefit from intelligent automation without requiring third-party tools. It's a practical step toward improving user experience, such as streamlining workflows and enhancing productivity. However, attention should be paid to data privacy, user control, and transparency of AI behavior. The implementation policy should be clear and ethical.
• GitHub Copilot coding agent
The introduction of coding agents is a meaningful step in everyday AI assistance. However, it still brings challenges. Some people compare agents with junior developers. They noted that while the agent can handle certain tasks, it often requires supervision and can introduce new issues. This innovation holds both potential and limitations. Balancing automation with human oversight is crucial to ensure quality and reliability.
• Introduction of Natural Language Web
NLWeb is a significant step toward a more natural and intuitive web experience. It can help users access content more easily and reduce reliance on traditional navigation. The open-source foundation provides developers with the flexibility to implement AI-driven interactions without rebuilding their existing platforms. NLWeb is a promising level of web interaction that complements, rather than replaces, well-designed UI.
• Introduction of Model Context Protocol
MCP provides a standardized method for connecting AI models with diverse tools and data sources. This approach simplifies the development of AI-driven applications, enhancing efficiency and scalability. Its open-source nature encourages broader adoption and collaboration within the developer community. Nevertheless, MCP can face challenges in compatibility across vendors and security in context sharing. Clear guidelines are crucial.
• Windows Subsystem for Linux is open-sourced
It's a positive step toward greater transparency and collaboration in the developer ecosystem. The community can now contribute to its evolution, helping identify issues and expand functionality faster. However, open-source software in a core system also introduces concerns around security, code quality management, and long-term maintenance. Microsoft’s continued involvement will be key to ensuring WSL remains stable and secure.
• Azure AI Foundry platform hosts Grok 3 AI models
Adding new models is a valuable expansion of AI development resources available at Azure. This provides developers with more flexibility in choosing language models that suit a range of application sizes and needs. Hosting on Azure makes access and integration easier when using Microsoft infrastructure.

Protecting Your Sensitive Data with Microsoft Purview - IRMS 2025Nikki Chapple
Session | Protecting Your Sensitive Data with Microsoft Purview: Practical Information Protection and DLP Strategies
Presenter | Nikki Chapple (MVP| Principal Cloud Architect CloudWay) & Ryan John Murphy (Microsoft)
Event | IRMS Conference 2025
Format | Birmingham UK
Date | 18-20 May 2025
In this closing keynote session from the IRMS Conference 2025, Nikki Chapple and Ryan John Murphy deliver a compelling and practical guide to data protection, compliance, and information governance using Microsoft Purview. As organizations generate over 2 billion pieces of content daily in Microsoft 365, the need for robust data classification, sensitivity labeling, and Data Loss Prevention (DLP) has never been more urgent.
This session addresses the growing challenge of managing unstructured data, with 73% of sensitive content remaining undiscovered and unclassified. Using a mountaineering metaphor, the speakers introduce the “Secure by Default” blueprint—a four-phase maturity model designed to help organizations scale their data security journey with confidence, clarity, and control.
🔐 Key Topics and Microsoft 365 Security Features Covered:
Microsoft Purview Information Protection and DLP
Sensitivity labels, auto-labeling, and adaptive protection
Data discovery, classification, and content labeling
DLP for both labeled and unlabeled content
SharePoint Advanced Management for workspace governance
Microsoft 365 compliance center best practices
Real-world case study: reducing 42 sensitivity labels to 4 parent labels
Empowering users through training, change management, and adoption strategies
🧭 The Secure by Default Path – Microsoft Purview Maturity Model:
Foundational – Apply default sensitivity labels at content creation; train users to manage exceptions; implement DLP for labeled content.
Managed – Focus on crown jewel data; use client-side auto-labeling; apply DLP to unlabeled content; enable adaptive protection.
Optimized – Auto-label historical content; simulate and test policies; use advanced classifiers to identify sensitive data at scale.
Strategic – Conduct operational reviews; identify new labeling scenarios; implement workspace governance using SharePoint Advanced Management.
🎒 Top Takeaways for Information Management Professionals:
Start secure. Stay protected. Expand with purpose.
Simplify your sensitivity label taxonomy for better adoption.
Train your users—they are your first line of defense.
Don’t wait for perfection—start small and iterate fast.
Align your data protection strategy with business goals and regulatory requirements.
💡 Who Should Watch This Presentation?
This session is ideal for compliance officers, IT administrators, records managers, data protection officers (DPOs), security architects, and Microsoft 365 governance leads. Whether you're in the public sector, financial services, healthcare, or education.
