Automatic detection of missing hole on iron jobeSAT Journals
Abstract Now a day’s various techniques are used For The better improvement of the job. There are some defects, drawbacks,
misalignments and errors etc. in the iron manufacturing industry. To overcome these misalignment an automatic inspection is
required. In this we are using algorithm to analyzing the defects. Therefore there is a need to develop a technique to check the
regularity and develop an accuracy in this process. The automatic detection is advantageous to human inspection because of
slowness and fatigue. In recent years the iron industries require automation due to missing holes on the job and another
important factor is to reduce the inspection duration. This factors lead to automation in iron industries so automated systems are
preferred in manufacturing industry for higher productivity. Using PIC Microcontroller this problem can be overcome, that is the
drawback of missing hole on iron job and get information quickly. If any hole is missed during the drilling operation then the
alarm starts ringing and the system needs to be reset.
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.

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.
