The document summarizes Roman art and architecture from the rise of the Roman Republic to the height of the Roman Empire. It describes how the Romans adopted many artistic styles from the Etruscans and Greeks, but made innovations in architecture like the arch, vault, and widespread use of concrete which allowed for grand structures like aqueducts, amphitheaters, baths and basilicas. Roman portraiture and murals strived for realistic representation. Major works discussed include the Colosseum, Pantheon and Arch of Constantine.
Romanesque architecture is an architectural style of medieval Europe characterized by semi-circular arches. There is no consensus for the beginning date of the Romanesque style, with proposals ranging from the 6th to the 11th century, this later date being the most commonly held. In the 12th century it developed into the Gothic style, marked by pointed arches. Examples of Romanesque architecture can be found across the continent, making it the first pan-European architectural style since Imperial Roman architecture. The Romanesque style in England is traditionally referred to as Norman architecture.
Combining features of ancient Roman and Byzantine buildings and other local traditions, Romanesque architecture is known by its massive quality, thick walls, round arches, sturdy pillars, barrel vaults, large towers and decorative arcading. Each building has clearly defined forms, frequently of very regular, symmetrical plan; the overall appearance is one of simplicity when compared with the Gothic buildings that were to follow. The style can be identified right across Europe, despite regional characteristics and different materials.
Many castles were built during this period, but they are greatly outnumbered by churches. The most significant are the great abbey churches, many of which are still standing, more or less complete and frequently in use.[1] The enormous quantity of churches built in the Romanesque period was succeeded by the still busier period of Gothic architecture, which partly or entirely rebuilt most Romanesque churches in prosperous areas like England and Portugal. The largest groups of Romanesque survivors are in areas that were less prosperous in subsequent periods, including parts of southern France, rural Spain and rural Italy. Survivals of unfortified Romanesque secular houses and palaces, and the domestic quarters of monasteries are far rarer, but these used and adapted the features found in church buildings, on a domestic scale.

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.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
2. The Etruscans
• lived in Italy long before the Roman Empire
rose to greatness
• Most civilized and powerful of all the peoples
in Italy; conquered much of Italy north of the
Tiber River
• Rome became the largest and richest city in
Italy by the end of the 6th century BC
• Romans drove the Etruscans from the city in
509 BC and established a republic
3. The Rising Power of Rome
• Rome was always surrounded by enemies;
distant foes would follow after defeat of
nearby enemies
• Rome managed to defend itself against these
threats and extended its power until all of
Italy was under control
• Early victory at Carthage= first overseas
province--Sicily
4. • Before it was finished, Rome ruled over every
civilized land in Europe and Africa
• Eventually, it controlled territory from Britain
in the west to Mesopotamia in the East
• So extensive was its rule that the Romans
referred to the Mediterranean as “mare
nostrum –our sea”
6. Roman Architecture
• It is difficult to talk about ‘Roman Art’ because
much of it was copied from the Greeks
• Except for architecture, the made few original
contributions to their own art
• Romans were excellent planners and
Engineers
8. The Temples
• Roman temples made use of features
developed earlier by others, especially the
Greeks, but to satisfy their own needs and
tastes
• While Greeks used columns as structural
supports, the Romans added them to their
buildings as decoration without structural
purpose
9. • The Roman temple is placed on a podium or
platform which raises it above eye level; this
feature was borrowed from the Etruscans
10. Features of Roman Architecture
• To span openings, Roman builders made use of
the arch
• The Roman arch is an improvement of the post-
and-lintel system of the Greeks
• Post and lintel limited builders in terms of the
space it could bridge
• Unlike a lintel, an arch is made of a number of
bricks or cut stones, these are held in place by a
wooden form until the top stone, called a
keystone is fit into place
11. • However, an arch needs the support of
another arch or a wall
• If the support is not provide, the outward
force of the arch will cause it to collapse
• For this reason, Romans created a series of
smaller arches to replace the single large arch
12. Use of concrete
• Although it had been used in the Near East for
some time, the Romans were the first to make
extensive use of the material
• Wherever the Roman legions went they
introduced the arch and the use of concrete in
architecture
14. The Aqueducts
• Demonstrate combination of architectural and
engineering skills
• Constructed by placing series of arches next to
each other
• Designed to carry water from mountain
streams into cities using gravitational flow
• Eleven were built in and around Rome.
Ranged from 16km to 96.6km in length
15. Public Buildings
• Baths, circuses, forums, and amphitheaters
constructed for the enjoyment of the people
• Maintained the popularity of the emperor
• Ancient guidebook to Rome, published in the
4th century A.D. claims there were 424
temples, 304 shrines, 80 statues of gods made
from precious metals, 64 of ivory, and 3,700
bronze statues scattered throughout the city
17. The Baths
• Among the most popular Roman buildings
• Much more than just municipal swimming
pools; they were vast enclosed structures that
contained libraries, lecture
rooms, gymnasiums, shops, restaurants and
pleasant walkways
• These made the baths a social and cultural
center as well as place for hygiene
18. • Contained series of rooms that were
progressively cooler
• The ‘calidarium’ with its hot water pool was
entered first; from there one walked to the
‘tepidarium’ where a warm bath awaited. The
last room was the ‘frigidarium’ and there a
cool bath was provided
19. Buildings for Sports
• Chariot races were the Roman’s favorite sport
• As many as 150,000 spectators gather at the
Circus Maximus to cheer on their favorite
teams
• As popular, were armed contests held in large
arenas and amphitheaters such as the
Colosseum
21. The Colosseum
• Built on the second half of the first century AD
• Owes its name to a colossal statue of Roman
Emperor Nero which once stood nearby
• The huge structure covers 2.4 ha (6 acres). It
forms an oval measuring 187.4 m (615 feet) by
155.4 m (510 feet)
• The structure is so large that during the
Middle Ages people built a small city within it
23. The Pantheon: A Marvel of Design
• Designed as a temple dedicated to all the
Roman gods; later converted into a Christian
church
• Looks like a low, gently curving dome resting
on a cylinder from the outside;
• lost much of its original impact because level
of the streets much higher now
25. • Passing through the entrance, you step into
the great domed space of the interior
• Made of brick and concrete, the dome is a
true hemisphere
26. • Inside of Pantheon is divided into 3 zones:
- Lower zone: seven niches which may have
contained statues or altars dedicated to the
Roman gods of the heavens: Sol (sun); Luna
(moon), and gods of the five known planets
- above this: zone containing 12 signs of the
Zodiac
- finally, rising above all, is the dome representing
the heavens. Surface is covered with coffers, or
indented panels which lessen the weight of the
dome
28. The Basilicas
• Rectangular buildings designed as public
meeting halls; often part of the forum or
public square
• To serve later as models for generations of
Christian church builders
• On the inside, slender columns divided the
space into a long wide center aisle called a
nave and two or more narrower side aisles.
29. • Roof over the center aisle usually higher than
the side aisles
• Allowed builders to install windows to let the
sunlight in
• Roman basilica ha a side entrance and one or
more apses, or semicircular areas, at the end
of the nave
31. Triumphal Arches
• Marked successful military campaigns
• After victory, the general and his troops would
pass through a heavily decorated arch to the
cheers of thousands.
32. Roman Sculpture and Painting
• Realism was preferred in sculpture and
painting; especially true in the case of
sculpted portraits
• Desire for lifelike portraits traced to earliest
periods of Roman history:
wax masks- of the deceased, carried in funeral
processions
eventually stone and marble was used to
make it more durable
34. Portrait Sculpture
• Mostly made by Greek sculptors working in
Rome
• Greek tradition adapted to Roman demands
• Meant to serve private needs
• Commissioned portrait heads/busts rather
than entire figures
• Like looking at a real person
37. Mural Painting
• Wealthy Roman families lived in luxurious
homes with courts, gardens with elaborate
fountains, rooms furnished with marble walls
and mosaics on the floors
• Entire walls were painted with murals that
tried to reproduce accurately the world
around them; scenes create the impression of
looking out a window or gazing over a city
