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.

"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.

Who knew that the concept of security in cloud computing was even possible to imagine?.. - Scott Bradner
Hello everybody, I am Ninh Nguyen, a CS student. My seminar topic today is Cloud Computing Security.
First of all, just take a look how people concern about cloud computing. As you can see in this graph, people has been searching a lot for cloud computing in Google since 2007 especially since the first months of 2009. And other kind of computing such as grid computing is falling and cluster computing is still the same for years.
At the same time, cloud computing also attracts a lot attention of media and news volume still growing over the time.
So what is cloud computing? I take a quote from Larry Ellison – CEO of Oracle: “What the hell is Cloud Computing?” Why did he say that? Actually, cloud computing is too new and has a standard.
Look at history, we can say Cloud Computing is the 5th generation of computing, after monolithic, client-server, web, service-oriented architecture and now it’s cloud service.
I have to say that there is not any formal definition and you can find out many different definitions of cloud computing out there. Here I took definitions on Wikipedia through out the time, since 12/2007. You can see people define cloud computing quite differently through the evolution of it.
Simply, I can summarize some characteristics of cloud computing. The first characters build up the word CLOUD and it’s very easy to remember. They’re Common, Location-independent, Online, Utility implies and Demand implies.The on-demand, self-service, pay-by-use modelInfrastructure is programmableApplications are composed and are built to be composableServices are delivered over the network
Then, I want to introduce about infrastructure models of cloud computing.
Basically there are three types of models. Public Cloud, Private Cloud and another type that mixes of public cloud and private cloud is hybrid cloud.Public clouds are run by third parties, and applications from different customers are likely to be mixed together on the cloud’s servers, storage systems, and networks. Public clouds are most often hosted away from customer premises, and they provide a way to reduce customer risk and cost by providing a flexible, even temporary extension to enterprise infrastructure.Private clouds are built for the exclusive use of one client, providing the utmost control over data, security, and quality of service. The company owns the infrastructure and has control over how applications are deployed on it. Private clouds may be deployed in an enterprise datacenter, and they also may be deployed at a co-location facility.Hybrid clouds combine both public and private cloud models. They can help to provide on-demand, externally provisioned scale. The ability to augment a private cloud with the resources of a public cloud can be used to maintain service levels in the face of rapid workload fluctuations.
Now I will talk about architectural layers of cloud computing. There are also 3 types SaaS, PaaS and IaaS.
Software as a service features a complete application offered as a service on demand. A single instance of the software runs on the cloud and services multiple end users or client organizations.
Platform as a service encapsulates a layer of software and provides it as a service that can be used to build higher-level services.Someone producing PaaS might produce a platform by integrating an OS,middleware, application software, and even a development environment that is then provided to a customer as a serviceSomeone using PaaS would see an encapsulated service that is presented to them through an API. The customer interacts with the platform through the API, and the platform does what is necessary to manage and scale itself to provide a given level of service.
Infrastructure as a service delivers basic storage and compute capabilities as standardized services over the network. Servers, storage systems, switches, routers, and other systems are pooled and made available to handle workloads that range from application components to high-performance computing applications.
To summarize, here is a diagram cover relationships among SaaS, PaaS, IaaS.
To clarify, I will talk about characteristics of cloud computing including of some comparisons, benefits – disadvantages and goal of cloud computing.
Grid computing has been used in environments where users make few but large allocation requestsCloud computing really is about lots of small allocation requests.
Diagram showing economics of cloud computing versus traditional IT, including capital expenditure (CapEx) and operational expenditure (OpEx)Cloud computing users can avoid capital expenditure (CapEx) on hardware, software, and services when they pay a provider only for what they use. Consumption is usually billed on a utility (e.g. resources consumed, like electricity) or subscription (e.g. time based, like a newspaper) basis with little or no upfront cost.
And now I can sum up pros and cons of cloud computing. One of cons is Security which I will talk about right now.
Now this is the second part of my talk: cloud computing security.
First of all, I will describe an overview about a cloud technology reference model. You never can control everything with cloud computing. There are always two problems, yours and theirs.
In SaaS, it’s your data.
In PaaS, it’s your whole application.
With IaaS, it’s a lot of things.
Now I will list here some security issues in cloud computing.
There’re two broad categories of issues: governing in the cloud and operating in the cloud.
Due to limit of time, I only choose 1 selected issue which has relations with my course: cryptography to present today. It’s encryption and Key Management.
Cloud computing changes the way we think about computing by removing the specifics of location from its resources. In other word, it abstracts all computing and networking resources. However, in divorcing components from location, this creates security issues that result from this lack of any perimeter. In such a world, there is only one way to secure the computing resources: strong encryption and scalable key management.From a risk management perspective, unencrypted data existent in the cloud may be considered “lost” by the customer. Application providers who are not controlling backend systems should assure that data is encrypted when being stored on the backend. Use encryption to separate data holding from data usage. Segregate the key management from the cloud provider hosting the data, creating a chain of separation. This protects both the cloud provider and customer from conflict when being compelled to provide data due to a legal mandate and can potentially solve some problems.When stipulating encryption in contract language, assure that the encryption is adhering to existing industry or government standards, as applicable.
Now I will talk about a case-study: Amazon Web Service or AWS. Amazon provides 2 kinds of service: Cloud Computing Service and Support Services.Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3)Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2)Amazon SimpleDBAmazon CloudFrontAmazon Simple Queue Service (SQS)Amazon Flexible Payments Service (FPS)Amazon Mechanical Turk
An X.509 Certificate consists of Public Key and a Private Key. The file containing the public key, the certificate file, must contain a base64-encoded DER certificate body. The file containing the private key, the Private Key file, must contain a base64-encoded PKCS#8 private key. The Private Key is used to authenticate requests to AWS.AWS accepts any syntactically and cryptographically valid X.509 certificates. They do not need to be from a formal Certificate Authority (CA).
Here is a diagram of SHA-1 HMAC Generation.In cryptography, a keyed-Hash Message Authentication Code (HMAC or KHMAC), is a type of message authentication code (MAC) calculated using a specific algorithm involving a cryptographic hash function in combination with a secret key. Any iterative cryptographic hash function, such as MD5 or SHA-1, may be used in the calculation of an HMAC.The SHA hash functions are a set of cryptographic hash functions designed by the National Security Agency (NSA) and published by the NIST as a U.S. Federal Information Processing Standard. SHA stands for Secure Hash Algorithm.SHA-1 (as well as SHA-0) produces a 160-bit digest from a message with a maximum length of (264 − 1) bits. SHA-1 is based on principles similar to those used by Ronald L. Rivest of MIT in the design of the MD4 and MD5 message digest algorithms, but has a more conservative design.
To summary and predict, I take some quote here:Cloud Computing is more and more popular but Cloud Computing Security is a very important problem everybody or company going to use CC should be concern.
