ABSTRACT
Knowledge representation as expert system rules or using frames and a variety of logics played a key role in capturing explicit knowledge during the hay days of AI in the past century. Such knowledge, aligned with planning and reasoning is part of what we refer to as Symbolic AI. The resurgent AI of this century in the form of Statistical AI has benefitted from massive data and computing. On some tasks, deep learning methods have even exceeded human performance levels. This gave the false sense that data alone is enough, and explicit knowledge is not needed. But as we start chasing machine intelligence that is comparable with human intelligence, there is an increasing realization that we cannot do without explicit knowledge. Neuroscience (role of long-term memory, strong interactions between different specialized regions of data on tasks such as multimodal sensing), cognitive science (bottom brain versus top brain, perception versus cognition), brain-inspired computing, behavioral economics (system 1 versus system 2), and other disciplines point to need for furthering AI to neuro-symbolic AI (i.e., hybrid of Statistical AI and Symbolic AI, also referred to as the third wave of AI). As we make this progress, the role of explicit knowledge becomes more evident. I will specifically look at our endeavor to support human-like intelligence, our desire for AI systems to interact with humans naturally, and our need to explain the path and reasons for AI systems’ workings. Nevertheless, the variety of knowledge needed to support understanding and intelligence is varied and complex. Using the example of progressing from NLP to NLU, I will demonstrate the dimensions of explicit knowledge, which may include, linguistic, language syntax, common sense, general (world model), specialized (e.g., geographic), and domain-specific (e.g., mental health) knowledge. I will also argue that despite this complexity, such knowledge can be scalability created and maintained (even dynamically or continually). Finally, I will describe our work on knowledge-infused learning as an example strategy for fusing statistical and symbolic AI in a variety of ways.

Smart Data Webinar: A Roadmap for Deploying Modern AI in BusinessDATAVERSITY
Adopting elements of modern AI and cognitive computing - including advanced natural language processing, natural interface technologies such as gesture and emotion-recognition, and machine learning - is rapidly becoming a necessity for new applications. As people in all industries are exposed to better, more personalized and responsive experiences with software, they will begin to demand more from every system they use. For product strategists and developers, the issue is not whether to consider modern AI, the issue is how to do so most effectively.
Webinar participants will learn:
•How to classify and map application attributes to AI technologies and tools; including data attributes, end-user attributes, and context attributes such as weather and location
•How to prioritize applications in an existing portfolio for AI-enhancements, and
•How to assess organizational readiness for leveraging AI

Every company now is an AI company: Now, Near Future, or Distant Future?
Amit Sheth, AI Institute, University of South Carolina
“Every company now is an AI company. The industrial companies are changing, the supply chain…every single sector, it’s not only tech.” said Steven Pagliuca, CEO of Bain Capital at the 2019 World Economic Forum. With this statement as the context, I will provide an overview of AI landscape -- what AI capabilities are for real, what is being oversold, what is nonexistent, what is unlikely in our lifetime. I will also provide an anecdote-supported review through a broad variety of current and eminent applications of AI that rely on some of the well-developed and emerging AI capabilities. The objective is to help those considering AI applications start thinking of new business opportunities, new products and services, and new revenue/business models in the context of rapid penetration of AI technologies everywhere. I will seek to answer: Is AI just hype or something already happening? If it has not happened in your industry, is it impending? Do bad impacts of AI outweigh the good?
Artificial intelligence has been a buzz word that is impacting every industry in the world. With the rise of such advanced technology, there will be always a question regarding its impact on our social life, environment and economy thus impacting all efforts exerted towards sustainable development. In the information era, enormous amounts of data have become available on hand to decision makers. Big data refers to datasets that are not only big, but also high in variety and velocity, which makes them difficult to handle using traditional tools and techniques. Due to the rapid growth of such data, solutions need to be studied and provided in order to handle and extract value and knowledge from these datasets for different industries and business operations. Numerous use cases have shown that AI can ensure an effective supply of information to citizens, users and customers in times of crisis. This paper aims to analyse some of the different methods and scenario which can be applied to AI and big data, as well as the opportunities provided by the application in various business operations and crisis management domains.

Machine learning is a subfield of artificial intelligence (AI) that focuses on the development of algorithms and statistical models that enable computer systems to learn and make predictions or decisions without being explicitly programmed. In essence, machine learning allows computers to automatically discover patterns, associations, and insights within data and use that knowledge to improve their performance on a task.

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.
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

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.
5. “man’s dependence on probability was simply a consequence of imperfect
knowledge. A being who could follow every particle in the universe, and who had
unbounded powers of calculation, would be able to know the past and to predict
the future with perfect certainty”
- Philosophical Essay on Probabilities (1825)
7. “Statistics is about gathering data and working out what the numbers can tell us.
From the earliest farmer estimating whether he had enough grain to last the
winter to the scientists of the Large Hadron Collider confirming the probable
existence of new particles, people have always been making inferences from data.
Statistical tools like the mean or average summarise data, and standard
deviations measure how much variation there is within a set of numbers.
Frequency distributions - the patterns within the numbers or the shapes they
make when drawn on a graph - can help predict future events.
Knowing how sure or how uncertain your estimates are a key part of statistics”
- Julian Champkin, Significance Magazine
11. 1957: Perceptron
• M-P model was simple function with multi-dimensional input and
binary output
• Perceptron has two layers of node
• Weights and threshold were not all identical
• Output function goes from [-1,1] not [0,1]
• Adds extra input that represents bias (sometimes called theta)
• Most important, a learning rule, Read more
• It was a machine that could take input and create output
12. 1970s: AI Winter
• 1973: UK Parliament to evaluate the state of AI research in the United
Kingdom
• “Computers have been oversold.. Indeed, it is big business….Continuous
failures occurred in Language translation, image recognition, human
speech, hand written letters, and so on…A robot can only mimic certain
range of human activities…Specialised problems are best treated by
specialised methods rather than generalised intelligence…. The general
purpose robot is a mirage”
– Sir James Lighthill
• The Lighthill report led to the near-complete dismantling of AI research in
England.
• The assessment coupled with slow progress contributed to loss of
confidence and drop in resources for AI research

23. Automate the analysis
• Manual analysis is tedious
• Bandicoot is an open-source Python toolbox
used to analyze mobile phone metadata
• Bandicoot computes indicators
• Stratify the data between weekday and
weekend or day and night
• Strategy is to generate features to be
processed by algorithm to identify
behaviour, such as, In 2015, a study, titled
"Predicting Gender from Mobile Phone
Metadata“
• Learning algorithms use features for
prediction and clustering tasks – decide
which features can predict what
24. Machine Learning
• Bandicoot generates 1400 indicators. Next question, “Can we do
something useful with these indicators or variables or features?”, such as,
Can mobile phone data answer global development call?
• The SAS institute (2016) defines machine learning as “a method of data
analysis that automates analytical model building. Using algorithms that
iteratively learn from data, machine learning allows computers to find
hidden insights without being explicitly programmed where to look.” There
are two main classes of machine learning algorithms:
• Unsupervised Learning: Infer a function to describe a hidden structure or similarity
of patterns in unlabelled data
• Supervised Learning: Not only provide a set of features (Xi for i = 1,..N) but also set
of labels (Yi for i = 1,…N), where each yi is a label corresponding to Xi. One uses the
pair to learn a function f that can be used to predict unknown target value of some
input vector: y = f(X)
25. What is Learning?
• Can we extract answers to meaningful questions using vast amounts of data:
• How susceptible are they to marketing?
• What is probability of person using our new service
• Which members of community are most at risk in an epidemic outbreak?
• Approach to finding a theorem or law is difficult as they are complex and require
measurements of large data over time
• What is learning? Specifying the model f that can extract regularities for problem
– appropriate objective function to optimize specified loss function
• Learning (or fitting) the model essentially means finding optimal parameters of
the model structure, using provided input or target data. Fitting the model to
perform well on given or seen data (training data)
• However, our primary goal is for the model to perform well on unseen data
26. Problem
• Think of business problems (1-3) un-solved or can be solved better?
Problems that are:
• Complicated
• Requires learning from data
• Sufficiently self-contained
Once knowing that problem fits in ML domain, further two important
questions to answer are:
• Q: Whether right data exists for the problem? Where does it comes
from? Is data feed for machine sufficient to solve the problem?
• Q: Which ML model makes more sense to the problem?

28. Cast the use case (problem)
• As an ML problem:
1. What is being predicted?
2. What data is needed?
• As an Software:
1. What is the API for the problem during prediction?
2. Who will use this service? How are they doing it today?
• As a Data problem:
1. What data are we analyzing?
2. What data are we predicting?
3. What data are we reacting to?

31. About 70% of the brain's cortical activity is dealing with visually related information, which
is equivalent to the gates of the human brain, others such as hearing, touch, and taste are
narrower channels. Visual is like a high way with eight traffic lanes, and the other feeling
are like sidewalks on both sides. If you cannot deal with visual information, the whole AI
system is an empty shelf. It can only do symbolic reasoning, such as playing chess and
proving theorem, but cannot enter the real world. Computer vision is like a door-opening
spell for AI. The door is inside, and if you fail to open it, there is no way to study AI in the
real world.

California, Los Angeles

“Not all AI projects are created equal. Some can provide incremental
improvements and are good places to start whereas some provide competitive
advantage”
- Bern Elliot, Gartner
“Build intelligence to solve one business problem. Use the intelligence and
experience for everything else”
- Demis Hassabis, DeepMind

40. Linear Regression
• Regression – find equation that fits data
• The learning step is function estimation
• Reducing error is gradient descent
• Supervised learning
• Input training data
• Input, x – size of house
• Output, y – price of house
• m – number of training examples
• Build hypothesis (predict y for given x) over input data, h(θ) = θ0 + θ1 x
41.
42. • If α is too small, gradient descent can be slow
• If α is too large, gradient descent can overshoot the
minimum
• Derivative is the slope of cost function J
• Using calculus, somehow, derivative term is :
• Batch, each step uses all training examples
43. Elementary Algebra
• If you recall from elementary algebra,
the equation for a line is y = mx + b
• Alternate to gradient descent is algebra
equation to calculate the min of cost
function
• In order to calculate linear regression,
and find the equation y = a + bx:
• In language of AP Statistics, we may see
equation written as:
• In Machine Learning, it is referred as
hypothesis:
44. Multiple variables
Size (feet2) Number of
bedrooms
Number of floors Age of home (years) Price ($1000)
2104 5 1 45 460
1416 3 2 40 232
1534 3 2 30 315
852 2 1 36 178
n = number of features
x(i) = input (features) of ith training example
xj
(i) = value of feature j in ith training example
Hypothesis:
45. For convenience of notation, define x0 = 1. Therefore, features are a Vector x0, x1, …, xn, that is, Rn+1. Parameters are
also a Vector from θ0, θ1, …, θn, that is, Rn+1.
Hypothesis equation can be written as: h(x) = θ0x0 + θ1x1 + . . . + θnxn = θTx
