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.

Dear Fitness Professional;
Thank you for taking time to review the Fitness Industry Technology Council’s 2016 Fitness Technology Trends Report. Our thanks go to the 34 brands, professionals and
associations who support the FIT-C, along with our dedicated board of directors. We encourage you to join us and become part of the movement by visiting
www.fittechcouncil.org. We have entered a new era where the use of technology and greater collaboration will propel our industry to new heights, growing the marketplace
by fueling new business models and ways of operating that enhance user experiences. Technologies predicted a few years ago have already exceeded expectations, and
the surge of new technologies are already impacting the market. This trend will only continue.
The leadership of the FIT-C and its current board believe that thoughtful adoption of technologies needs to accelerate at a faster pace. We think that there is a need for
greater collaboration among players in our industry space to unleash technologies for the benefit of all. These factors are necessary when considering the surge of
disruption that is emerging. Failing to adopt at a more rapid pace and failing to work more closely together could result in impediments to our efforts to serve a surging
market of customers around the globe. The opportunity is too great for us not to embrace this change technology is bringing.
We need your support, feedback and participation. This trend report has been compiled, along with our monthly newsletters, webinars and other content efforts, to educate
