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.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

A content management system is a
website software built to simplify the
creation and maintenance of content. It
allows the user to create, edit, delete
content without having to know HTML.
Depending on the complexity of the
system, varying levels of technical
skills are required to set up, configure
and customize the CMS.
There are many different types of
content management systems. Listed
below are a few types of content
management systems and popular
examples of each.
Blogging:
Wordpress
Textpattern
B2BEvolution
General Purpose Portal CMS:
Joomla
Drupal
Modx
Typo3
E-commerce:

3. Popular CMS
This is a pie chart from the hosting company siteground.com showing which content
management system most of their clients use. There are probably hundreds of articles
online debating over which is the best: Drupal, Joomla or Wordpress?
4. CMS Criteria
With the diverse range of projects I'm
working on, I've been trying to find a
CMS with the following functionality
and features:
●
●
●
E-Commerce
●
●
E-learning
●
●
Blogging
●
Multi-user content
●
Permission and access control
●
Flexibility of design
●
Social networking
A user-friendly user interface
Scalability (a software that can handle
lots of content, features, and users
without crashing)
Security
Adequate documentation and support
community.
Before I dive into Drupal, I'd like to
briefly go into some of the software I've
tried, what I liked, and didn't like about
them.
5. Drupal: The Alternatives
Here are some of the other software I've explored
before finally setting my sights on becoming a
Drupal expert:
Wordpress: The world's most popular blogging
software.
Joomla: Popular multi-user portal website. Ideal
for newspaper or magazine websites.
Elgg: Highly regarded open source social
networking software.
Typo3: A powerful yet complicated CMS rivaling
Drupal for functionality and scalability.
CMS Made Simple: A user-friendly CMS that
makes making websites simple.
Textpattern: A designer's blogging alternative to
Wordpress.
6. CMS Made Simple
CMSMS Advantages:
●
●
●
I used CMSMS to convert one of our
company's static HTML website into one
the company could update themselves.
The entire process of installing the
software, recreating the template, and
moving the content took me less than 3
hours.
Very easy to add, edit, delete content,
and pages.
Documentation makes creating
templates very easy.
Attractive and intuitive user interface.
CMSMS Disadvantages:
●
●
●
Two textbooks are available. Both of
them have deprecated code.
Weak additional functionality.
Programming skills required to
customize additional function.
7. Textpattern
Textpattern Advantages:
●
●
●
I used Textpattern to build my personal
website and LOVE it. I started reading the
'Friends of Ed' textbook on Textpattern and
quickly saw my project unfolding before
me. Textpattern is the best software I've
ever used for displaying different content
types in different forms. It is widely
considered a great blogging alternative to
Wordpress. Although not as user-friendly,
designers love it.
Extremely flexible for the display of
content.
A decent catalog of plugins for
additional functionality.
A very engaged user community and
support forums.
Textpattern Disadvantages:
●
●
●
Limited documentation. Although the
textbook is good, it's old and not
thorough.
Difficult user interface.
Lack of themes - design expertise
needed.
8. Typo3
Typo3 Advantages:
●
●
I wanted to explore Typo3 after reading
several reports on it, extolling its power,
flexibility and scalability. I found several
textbooks on packtpub.com; the most
recent one from 2010. I gave up half
way through the first book when I kept
on running into difficulty with
deprecated code and couldn't find an
answer on any of the software's support
forums.
●
E-commerce capabilities and packtpub
textbook to provide instruction.
When compared to Joomla, Drupal and
Wordpress on cmsmatrix.org, Typo3
has more features.
Considered great enterprise CMS
solution.
Typo3 Disadvantages:
●
●
Requires programming skills to create
templates.
Steep learning curve. I find it harder
than Drupal.
9. Joomla
Joomla Advantages:
●
Powerful multi-user content
management system with great user
access control
●
●
I've been working with Joomla for a couple
of years. I've built a couple of projects with
Joomla for clients. One of the projects, an
e-commerce website, was abandoned
when my client wanted to switch to
Wordpress. At work, we are moving our
company's site from Wordpress to Joomla
as my manager feels Joomla offers a better
option to integrate Magento (a very
powerful e-commerce software) and has
better multi-user access control. I'm
currently playing around with the
Joomla/Moodle integration plugin,
Joomdle.
Plenty of themes and plugins
Not hard to customize
●
●
Great support community and lots of
documentation available.
Moodle intergration (Joomdle)
Joomla Disadvantages:
●
The most viable options for ecommerce and social networking are
commercial (ie. JomSocial, Mijoshop)
10. Wordpress
Wordpress Advantages:
●
●
We are using Wordpress for our company's
website and intranet right now. The intranet
is working great. The company site has
been hacked a couple of times. I've also
built a site for a friend with Wordpress and
the site went down after it was hacked, a
few months later. Despite some security
issues, Wordpress is awesome. It has a
plug in for almost anything imaginable. It's
the most popular blogging software because
of its ease of use, 1000's of quality free
themes and plugins.
Easy to use, customize, and
administer.
Great extensions for e-commerce, elearning and community
(WooCommerce, Courseware,
BuddyPress).
●
1000's of free themes and plugins
●
Large developer community.
●
Instruction on packtpub.com,
lynda.com, ostraing.com as well as
many textbooks and training tutorials.
Wordpress Disadvantages:
●
Issues with scalability and security.
11. So Why Drupal?
To be honest, I find Drupal the most
difficult system I've tried to learn (aside
from Typo3). I have managed to get
through half a dozen textbooks and a
few training videos and my
appreciation for Drupal, and what it is
capable of, continues to rise. I've read
many of the Drupal vs. Joomla vs
Wordpress blog posts and the only
serious knock I've ever seen with
Drupal is that it has a steep learning
curve. The biggest draw to Drupal is
this: It can do everything, and do it well,
with stability and security.
There is a great comparison of Joomla,
Wordpress and Drupal on several sites,
but this one I find very comprehensive.
Drupal Advantages:
●
●
●
●
Two highly regarded and open source
e-commerce extensions Ubercart and
Drupal Commerce.
Great e-learning capacities as well as
LMS projects Opigno and Adrenna
Scalable and secure. Great for large
projects.
Great online community capabilities.
Drupal disadvantages:
●
●
Drupal requires advanced technical
skills to customize.
For smaller projects, Drupal may be
overkill.
12. Drupal: Blogging, Books, Polls & Profiles
Here are some Drupal's core
features:
●
Profiles for each user
●
Blogging for every user
●
●
Books structured for longer
documents
Forums for threaded
discussions
●
Polls for user voting
●
Contact forms for each user
●
●
Aggregator for publishing
syndicated content
Statistics for tracking web traffic
13. Drupal: Learning Resources
Here are some resources you may want to
explore if you want to learn Drupal:
Packtpub.com is my favorite resource for
learning Drupal and for all other open source
software. Drupal titles include: Drupal for
Education and E-learning, Drupal 7 Multiligual
Sites, Drupal 7 Business Solutions.
Lynda.com has some great video tutorials on
Drupal. I'd recommend Drupal 7 Essential
Training as a great place to start.
Qcollege, in Victoria, has a 330 hour 3 month
Drupal and E-commerce diploma program.
OSTraining.com has several high quality
Drupal training videos, some of which are
free.
The Drupal website has documentation and a
forum board to interact with the Drupal
community.
14. Drupal for E-learning
Packtpub has an excellent ebook
called Drupal for education and Elearning. I worked through it this
Summer and was able to get almost all
of the exercises to work. Topics
covered include: Teacher and student
blogs, bookmarks, podcasting and
images, video, assignments,course
calendar, enrollment, tracking student
progress, social networking, profiles,
and organic groups.
If this solution is not enough, Connect-i
has recently introduced a full featured
LMS based on Drupal called Opigno.
Apparently, it was released in October,
2013. From what I've seen of it, it looks
like it could be fantastic.
15. Drupal Opigno LMS
This is Opigno's Admin Interface. Built in Drupal, Opigno could be serious
competition to Moodle.
16. Drupal for E-commerce
The biggest advantage to using Drupal as the an ecommerce solution is the ability to integrate content,
community and e-commerce with one software.
I came across an absolute beautiful e-commerce
website for a natural product line called
Earth to Body. I checked the source code and found
out their website was built with Drupal Ubercart. I
contacted the owners of the website to ask them if
they had any problems with the software and they
told me they really liked it. My second run-in with
Ubercart was in a digital marketing class. The
instructor of the class runs a multi-media business
and builds all of his websites in Drupal. He told me
he doesn't use any other e-commerce solution other
than Ubercart.
Drupal Commerce is the alternative to Ubercart.
According to the forums it has a few more features,
but is much harder to set up and isn't as stable as
the more-mature, Ubercart.
17. Drupal for Online Communities
Drupal has several stable modules for social
networking. Packtpub's Drupal 7 for Social
Networking is a great place to start when
learning to configure Drupal's basic social
features. Interestingly enough, this ebook has
a section on alternatives to Drupal; the only
open source software listed is Elgg.
For more out-of-the-box ready social modules,
two modules I plan to test are Drupal
Commons and Open Atrium. Both are
considered excellent options for company
intranets.
I've looked at JomSocial (Joomla's commercial
extension) and BuddyPress (Wordpress's
social plugin. Both look excellent. BuddyPress,
in particular, is much easier to configure than
Drupal's social features. I still will go with
Drupal because of its scalability and security.
