The document summarizes key events and developments during the Scientific Revolution and Enlightenment era from 1550-1789:
1) Scientists like Copernicus, Galileo and Newton revolutionized scientific thinking by developing theories like heliocentrism and the laws of gravity based on empirical evidence and experimentation, challenging the dominant religious orthodoxies.
2) Enlightenment philosophers like Voltaire, Locke, and Rousseau popularized ideas of reason, individual rights, and religious tolerance which spread new secular thinking across Europe.
3) These ideas influenced the American Revolution, with colonists drawing on Enlightenment principles of natural rights and consent of the governed in the Declaration of Independence to declare

THE INFLUENCE OF THE ENLIGHTENMENT
The Scientific Revolution, which is a modern term to describe the precursor to contemporary science, refers to a period of changing doctrinal beliefs and using a more scientific approach to find out logical truth. Factors such as the Renaissance, Reformation, weakening of the Roman Catholic Church, are some major factors which lead to the Scientific Revolution. Furthermore, this powerpoint will cover a series of "scientists" or philosophers who had the courage to change the mentality of Europe during the 1400s up until 1727.

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.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
