Mining and Managing Large-scale Linked Open DataMOVING Project
Linked Open Data (LOD) is about publishing and interlinking data of different origin and purpose on the web. The Resource Description Framework (RDF) is used to describe data on the LOD cloud. In contrast to relational databases, RDF does not provide a fixed, pre-defined schema. Rather, RDF allows for flexibly modeling the data schema by attaching RDF types and properties to the entities. Our schema-level index called SchemEX allows for searching in large-scale RDF graph data. The index can be efficiently computed with reasonable accuracy over large-scale data sets with billions of RDF triples, the smallest information unit on the LOD cloud. SchemEX is highly needed as the size of the LOD cloud quickly increases. Due to the evolution of the LOD cloud, one observes frequent changes of the data. We show that also the data schema changes in terms of combinations of RDF types and properties. As changes cannot capture the dynamics of the LOD cloud, current work includes temporal clustering and finding periodicities in entity dynamics over large-scale snapshots of the LOD cloud with about 100 million triples per week for more than three years.
Formalization and Preliminary Evaluation of a Pipeline for Text Extraction Fr...Ansgar Scherp
We propose a pipeline for text extraction from infographics
that makes use of a novel combination of data mining and computer vision techniques. The pipeline defines a sequence of steps to identify characters, cluster them into text lines, determine their rotation angle, and apply state-of-the-art OCR to recognize the text. In this paper, we formally define the pipeline and present its current implementation. In addition, we have conducted preliminary evaluations over a data corpus of 121 manually annotated infographics from a broad range of illustration types such as bar charts, pie charts, and line charts, maps, and others. We assess the results of our text extraction pipeline by comparing it with two baselines. Finally, we sketch an outline for future work and possibilities for improving the pipeline. - http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-1458/
Structured data on the Web frequently referred to as knowledge graphs consists of large number of datasets representing diverse domains. Widely used commercial applications such as entity recommendation, search, question answering and knowledge discovery use these knowledge graphs as their knowledge source. Majority of these applications have a particular domain of interest, hence require only the segment of the Web of data representing that domain (e.g., movie, biomedical, sports). In fact, leveraging the entire Web of data for a domain-specific application is not only computationally intensive, but also the irrelevant portion negatively impact the accuracy of the application. Hence, finding the relevant portion of the Web of data for domain-specific applications has become a paramount issue. Identifying the relevant portion of the Web of data consists of two sub-tasks; 1) find the relevant datasets that contain knowledge on the domain of interest, and 2) extract the subgraph representing domain of interest from the knowledge graphs that represent multiple domains (e.g., DBpedia, YAGO, Freebase). In this talk, I will discuss both data-driven and knowledge-driven approaches to solve these two sub-tasks. The domain-specific subgraphs extracted by our approach were 80% less in size in terms of the number of paths compared to original KG and resulted in more than tenfold reduction of required computational time for domain-specific tasks, yet produced better accuracy on domain-specific applications. We believe that this work can significantly contribute for utilizing knowledge graphs for domain-specific applications, specially with the explosive growth in the creation of knowledge graphs.

Reforming Traditional Machine Learning Algorithms with Spatio-Temporal Analy...Databricks
Spatial and temporal information is commonly introduced in business analysis and provides valuable characteristics. To gain the insights from data analysis and optimize decision making, it is important to utilize this wealth of information, together with other external influential features. In this session a suite of spatio-temporal analytics engines based on Spark will be presented.
The suite includes several core evolutional algorithms, which extend the capability of classic machine learning models (such as regression, clustering and association rule) into spatio-temporal analysis area. They are based on Spark machine learning framework to produce the spatio-temporal analytics capability in the context of big data. They provide standard Spark ML APIs and can be smoothly used with other Spark modules. In addition, the suite also includes the manipulation and data preparation for widely used geographical data so as to make a complete analysis solution.
The session will also cover some business scenarios to demonstrate the functionality of introduced suite.

Segmentation - based Historical Handwritten Word Spotting using document-spec...Konstantinos Zagoris
Many word spotting strategies for the modern documents are not directly applicable to historical handwritten documents due to writing styles variety and intense degradation. In this paper, a new method that permits effective word spotting in handwritten documents is presented that relies upon document-specific local features which take into account texture information around representative keypoints. Experimental work on two historical handwritten datasets using standard evaluation measures shows the improved performance achieved by the proposed methodology.

Deep learning technologies are at the core of the current revolution in artificial intelligence for multimedia data analysis. The convergence of big annotated data and affordable GPU hardware has allowed the training of neural networks for data analysis tasks which had been addressed until now with hand-crafted features. Architectures such as convolutional neural networks, recurrent neural networks and Q-nets for reinforcement learning have shaped a brand new scenario in signal processing. This course will cover the basic principles and applications of deep learning to computer vision problems, such as image classification, object detection or image captioning.

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.

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.
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!

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.
