Motivation for / Facts of Artificial Intelligence (AI)
8
One important driver for the emerging AI business opportunities is the significant growth of data volume and the rates at
which it is generated. By 2020, there will be more than 16 zettabytes of useful data (16 trillion GB), reflecting a growth of
236% per year from 2013 to 2020.
In fact, according to IDC by 2020, 40% of all digital transformation initiatives, and 100% of all effective data-driven IoT
efforts will be supported by cognitive/AI capabilities.

Herbert A. Simon (1965)
▸ AI pioneer Herbert A. Simon (Carnegie Mellon University) had predicted in 1965 that "machines will be
capable, within twenty years, of doing any work a man can do"
Doug Lenat (1998)
▸ “Those of us who lack shared knowledge and experience often don't understand much of what they say to
each other. In the same way, today's computers, which don't share even the common-sense knowledge we
all draw on in our everyday speech and writing, can't comprehend most of our speech or texts.”

What AI needs versus what it has (Part 1)
What it needs: Contextualized, disambiguated, highly relevant and specific
integrated data, flowing to the point of need
What it has: Single batch datasets cleaned up to be good enough by data
scientists, who spend 80% of their time on cleanup
What it needs: Knowledge engineers, and many bold Data Visionaries in addition
to big D Data Scientists, data-centric architects, pipeline engineers, specialists in
many new data niches
What it has: A growing group of tool users versed only in probability theory, neural
networks, python and R, including small D data scientists, engineers and
architects, plus scads of entrenched application-centric developers.

(1) Remember - Knowledge Graphs & Knowledge Extraction
Knowledge Graphs (KG) can cover general
knowledge (often also called cross-domain
or encyclopedic knowledge), or provide
knowledge about special domains such as
biomedicine.
In most cases KGs are based on Semantic
Web standards, and have been generated by
a mixture of automatic extraction from text
or structured data, and manual curation
work.

▸ Dbpedia https://wiki.dbpedia.org/
▸ Google Knowledge Graph

Google Featured

Algorithms
To train Google’s artificial Q&A brain, the
company uses old news stories, where
machines start to see how headlines
serve as short summaries of the longer
articles that follow. But for now, the
company still needs its team of PhD
linguists.
Spanning about 100 PhD linguists across
the globe, the Pygmalion team produces
“the gold data,” while the news stories
are the “silver.” The silver data is still
useful, because there’s so much of it. But
the gold data is essential.

Aiva’s compositions still require human input with regards to
orchestration and musical production. In fact, Aiva’s creators envisage
a future where man and machine will collaborate to fulfill their
creative potential, rather than replace one another.
http://www.aiva.ai/
After having listened to a large
amount of music and learned its
own models of music theory, Aiva
composes its very own sheet music.
These partitions are then played by
professional artists on real
instruments in a recording studio,
achieving the best sound quality
possible.

What AI needs versus what it has (Part 2)
Lack of AI Governance
Companies have concerns about validity, explainability and unintended bias of AI.
Lack of AI Strategy
Many organizations are currently undertaking POCs from a large pool of AI vendors only for tactical benefits.
Low Data Quality & Data Silos
80% of the work of data scientists is acquiring and preparing data. A demon that can drive up that 80% and
often makes initiatives impossible are data silos.
Danger of Vendor Lock-in
Use of black-boxes instead of hybrid middleware approaches connecting internal training assets to third-
party machine-learning solutions.
Lack of Knowledge / AI Literacy
Only 1 in 10 enterprises feel they have a competent approach to mining data, which ultimately hampers AI
efforts. A shortage of AI skills and risk managers' lack of familiarity with the technology increase the risk.

Excursus: Explainable AI
#XAI: trust, transparency, and better human-
machine synergy
24
Excursus: Explainable AI
That’s Explainable AI. It’s the next stage of human augmentation by machines, when AI will empower
humans to take corrective actions according to the explanations given. Within three years, we believe it
will have come to dominate the AI landscape for businesses — because it will enable people to
understand and act responsibly, as well as creating effective teaming between human and machines.
Source: Accenture Labs, Understanding Machines, Explainable AI (September2018)
EU GDPR: “RIGHT TO EXPLANATION”
As well as being a practical imperative, explainability will also be required because of ethical or legal
requirements, such as the introduction under the EU’s forthcoming General Data Protection Regulation
(GDPR) of the “right to explanation” about algorithm-derived decisions. But most importantly,
explainability puts people in control—meaning AI augments human skills rather than trying to replace
them. For all these reasons, AI needs to go beyond machine learning to the next stage: Explainable AI.
Source: https://www.eugdpr.org/
25
Excursus: Explainable AI
While “black box” AI is clearly limited
by its inability to explain its reasoning
to human users, it can actually work
well in three types of application.
The first is simple pattern recognition
tasks where the cost of failure is low.
The second is “closed-loop” systems
where a real-time response is critical
and/or the pace of decision-making is
too fast to allow for human intervention,
such as realtime pricing (Amazon),
movie or music recommendations
(Netflix, Spotify, etc), or driverless cars.
The third is interactive response
systems like robots and chatbots.
26
Excursus: Explainable AI
If AI lacks the ability to explain itself in
these areas, then the risk of it making a
wrong decision may outweigh the
benefits it could bring in terms of the
speed, accuracy and efficiency of
decision-making. The effect would be to
severely limit its usage.

#SemanticAI: Bringing Machine Learning, NLP
and Knowledge Graphs together
28
Six Core Aspects of Semantic AI
1. Data Quality
Semantically enriched data serves
as a basis for better data quality
and provides more options for
feature extraction.
2. Data as a Service
Linked data based on W3C Standards
can serve as an enterprise-wide data
platform and helps to provide
training data for machine learning in
a more cost-efficient way.
3. No black-box
Semantic AI ultimately leads to
AI governance that works on
three layers: technically,
ethically, and on the legal layer.
4. Hybrid approach
Semantic AI is the combination of
methods derived from symbolic AI
and statistical AI. It is not only
focused on process automation,
but also on intelligence
augmentation.
5. Structured data meets
text
Most machine learning algorithms
work well either with text or with
structured data. Semantic AI is based
on entity-centric data models.
6. Towards self
optimizing machines
ML can help to extend
knowledge graphs, and in
return, knowledge graphs can
help to improve ML algorithms.

From: Ribeiro, M. T., Singh, S., & Guestrin, C. (2016, August). Why should i trust you?: Explaining the predictions of any classifier. In
Proceedings of the 22nd ACM SIGKDD international conference on knowledge discovery and data mining (pp. 1135-1144). ACM.
Explainable AI as an AI whose
decision-making mechanism for
a specific problem can be
understood by humans who have
expertise in making decisions for
that specific problem.
Explainable AI has been used for years in AI
that are based on transparent methods.

Examples:
● Semantic enrichment of

word embeddings
● Extraction of semantic features
from text to improve ML-based
classification tasks
● Combine ML-based with Graph-
based entity extraction
● Knowledge Graphs as a Data
Model for Machine Learning
● ….
35
5) Structured data meets text
These transformations can result in loss of information and
introduce bias. To solve this problem, we require machine
learning methods to consume knowledge in a data model
more suited to represent this heterogeneous knowledge.
We argue that knowledge graphs are that data model.
Three examples for the benefits of using knowledge graphs:
▸ they allow for true end-to-end-learning,
▸ they simplify the integration of heterogeneous data
sources and data harmonization,
▸ they provide a natural way to seamlessly integrate
different forms of background knowledge.
Wilcke X, Bloem P, De Boer V. The Knowledge Graph as the Default Data Model for Machine Learning.
Data Science. 2017 Oct 17;1-19. Available from, DOI: 10.3233/DS-170007
Traditionally, when faced with heterogeneous
knowledge in a machine learning context, data
scientists preprocess the data and engineer
feature vectors so they can be used as input for
learning algorithms (e.g., for classification).

Use Cases for Semantic AI
#Knowledge Graphs, Semantic Layer,
Machine Learning
47
5 generic Use Cases for Semantic AI
1. Deal with hierarchical or highly connected datasets
more efficiently
2. Gain new insights based on entity-centric views (in
contrast to document-centric views)
3. Understand and calculate causalities and the effects
in a knowledge domain
4. Integrate heterogeneous data sources (structured
& unstructured) based on a “schema-late” approach
5. Create federated (unified) views across multiple
data silos within the enterprise
48
Example: Research in Life Sciences
As a researcher in pharmaceutical industry,
I want to plan new experiments more
efficiently.
I want to know what’s already available.
I’m interested in former experiments
where
● certain genes were tested
● under specific treatment conditions
● in a target therapeutic area
● with help from categorisation systems
like ‘disease hierarchies’

The LinkedIn Economic Graph
The LinkedIn Economic Graph is
a digital representation of the
global economy based on
▸ 560 million members,
▸ 50 thousand skills,
▸ 20 million companies,
▸ 15 million open jobs, and
▸ 60 thousand schools.
https://economicgraph.linkedin.com/
“LinkedIn has a vast quantity of data. While much of the data is
structured—graph nodes and edges, normalized fields in database
records—a great deal of it is simply natural language text.
Attaching structure and meaning to this text is essential to
LinkedIn’s overall mission of connecting its members to
opportunity.”

Why Data Scientists need semantic models
▸ Data Quality & Data Governance
▹ Content aboutness in a defined framework
▹ Data relationships and context within a
unified organizational model
▹ Connections across disparate datasets
▸ Improved Machine Learning
▹ Hierarchical or other mapped relationships allow
for recommending similar content when exact
matches not found
▹ Granularity allows for more specific
recommendations
▹ Consistency across structure results more precise
analysis and predictions

  • 22. 22 What AI needs versus what it has (Part 2) Lack of AI Governance Companies have concerns about validity, explainability and unintended bias of AI. Lack of AI Strategy Many organizations are currently undertaking POCs from a large pool of AI vendors only for tactical benefits. Low Data Quality & Data Silos 80% of the work of data scientists is acquiring and preparing data. A demon that can drive up that 80% and often makes initiatives impossible are data silos. Danger of Vendor Lock-in Use of black-boxes instead of hybrid middleware approaches connecting internal training assets to third- party machine-learning solutions. Lack of Knowledge / AI Literacy Only 1 in 10 enterprises feel they have a competent approach to mining data, which ultimately hampers AI efforts. A shortage of AI skills and risk managers' lack of familiarity with the technology increase the risk.

  • 23. Excursus: Explainable AI #XAI: trust, transparency, and better human- machine synergy
  • 24. 24 Excursus: Explainable AI That’s Explainable AI. It’s the next stage of human augmentation by machines, when AI will empower humans to take corrective actions according to the explanations given. Within three years, we believe it will have come to dominate the AI landscape for businesses — because it will enable people to understand and act responsibly, as well as creating effective teaming between human and machines. Source: Accenture Labs, Understanding Machines, Explainable AI (September2018) EU GDPR: “RIGHT TO EXPLANATION” As well as being a practical imperative, explainability will also be required because of ethical or legal requirements, such as the introduction under the EU’s forthcoming General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) of the “right to explanation” about algorithm-derived decisions. But most importantly, explainability puts people in control—meaning AI augments human skills rather than trying to replace them. For all these reasons, AI needs to go beyond machine learning to the next stage: Explainable AI. Source: https://www.eugdpr.org/
  • 25. 25 Excursus: Explainable AI While “black box” AI is clearly limited by its inability to explain its reasoning to human users, it can actually work well in three types of application. The first is simple pattern recognition tasks where the cost of failure is low. The second is “closed-loop” systems where a real-time response is critical and/or the pace of decision-making is too fast to allow for human intervention, such as realtime pricing (Amazon), movie or music recommendations (Netflix, Spotify, etc), or driverless cars. The third is interactive response systems like robots and chatbots.
  • 26. 26 Excursus: Explainable AI If AI lacks the ability to explain itself in these areas, then the risk of it making a wrong decision may outweigh the benefits it could bring in terms of the speed, accuracy and efficiency of decision-making. The effect would be to severely limit its usage. Examples ▸ Travel Expenses Analysis ▸ Project Risk Management
  • 27. Semantic AI #SemanticAI: Bringing Machine Learning, NLP and Knowledge Graphs together
  • 28. 28 Six Core Aspects of Semantic AI 1. Data Quality Semantically enriched data serves as a basis for better data quality and provides more options for feature extraction. 2. Data as a Service Linked data based on W3C Standards can serve as an enterprise-wide data platform and helps to provide training data for machine learning in a more cost-efficient way. 3. No black-box Semantic AI ultimately leads to AI governance that works on three layers: technically, ethically, and on the legal layer. 4. Hybrid approach Semantic AI is the combination of methods derived from symbolic AI and statistical AI. It is not only focused on process automation, but also on intelligence augmentation. 5. Structured data meets text Most machine learning algorithms work well either with text or with structured data. Semantic AI is based on entity-centric data models. 6. Towards self optimizing machines ML can help to extend knowledge graphs, and in return, knowledge graphs can help to improve ML algorithms. Read more

Explainable AI has been used for years in AI that are based on transparent methods. These include Expert Systems or Symbolic Reasoning Systems - anything that is considered GOFAI (Good Old-Fashioned AI) methods.

  • 35. 35 5) Structured data meets text These transformations can result in loss of information and introduce bias. To solve this problem, we require machine learning methods to consume knowledge in a data model more suited to represent this heterogeneous knowledge. We argue that knowledge graphs are that data model. Three examples for the benefits of using knowledge graphs: ▸ they allow for true end-to-end-learning, ▸ they simplify the integration of heterogeneous data sources and data harmonization, ▸ they provide a natural way to seamlessly integrate different forms of background knowledge. Wilcke X, Bloem P, De Boer V. The Knowledge Graph as the Default Data Model for Machine Learning. Data Science. 2017 Oct 17;1-19. Available from, DOI: 10.3233/DS-170007 Traditionally, when faced with heterogeneous knowledge in a machine learning context, data scientists preprocess the data and engineer feature vectors so they can be used as input for learning algorithms (e.g., for classification).

  • 45. 45 4 Pillars of successful Knowledge Graphs ● Keep you Knowledge Graph Alive! ● Knowledge Graphs Helps you Scale with Reusable Existing Data ● Use AI to Automate your Knowledge Graph ● Accelerating the Speed of DataOps with Knowledge Graphs Source: Knowledge Graphs, Transforming Data into Knowledge (PoolParty)
  • 46. Use Cases for Semantic AI #Knowledge Graphs, Semantic Layer, Machine Learning
  • 47. 47 5 generic Use Cases for Semantic AI 1. Deal with hierarchical or highly connected datasets more efficiently 2. Gain new insights based on entity-centric views (in contrast to document-centric views) 3. Understand and calculate causalities and the effects in a knowledge domain 4. Integrate heterogeneous data sources (structured & unstructured) based on a “schema-late” approach 5. Create federated (unified) views across multiple data silos within the enterprise
  • 48. 48 Example: Research in Life Sciences As a researcher in pharmaceutical industry, I want to plan new experiments more efficiently. I want to know what’s already available. I’m interested in former experiments where ● certain genes were tested ● under specific treatment conditions ● in a target therapeutic area ● with help from categorisation systems like ‘disease hierarchies’ UniProt, ChEMBL Experiments Documentation MeSH DrugBank → Linking Structured to Unstructured Data and to Industry Knowledge Graphs
  • 49. 49 Making use of Knowledge Graphs Experiments Document Store → Knowledge Graphs serve as means to enrich unstructured information to provide a rich set of additional access points to document repositories
  • 50. 50 The LinkedIn Economic Graph The LinkedIn Economic Graph is a digital representation of the global economy based on ▸ 560 million members, ▸ 50 thousand skills, ▸ 20 million companies, ▸ 15 million open jobs, and ▸ 60 thousand schools. https://economicgraph.linkedin.com/ “LinkedIn has a vast quantity of data. While much of the data is structured—graph nodes and edges, normalized fields in database records—a great deal of it is simply natural language text. Attaching structure and meaning to this text is essential to LinkedIn’s overall mission of connecting its members to opportunity.”
  • 52. 52 Why Data Scientists need semantic models ▸ Data Quality & Data Governance ▹ Content aboutness in a defined framework ▹ Data relationships and context within a unified organizational model ▹ Connections across disparate datasets ▸ Improved Machine Learning ▹ Hierarchical or other mapped relationships allow for recommending similar content when exact matches not found ▹ Granularity allows for more specific recommendations ▹ Consistency across structure results more precise analysis and predictions Source: Suzanne Carroll, Data Science Product Director at XO Group
