1) The document summarizes a group's site visit to Riverstone Eco Resort for a class project to study the natural habitat.
2) At the site, the group explored different areas, took photos and videos, identified various plant and animal species present, and conducted further investigations of certain creatures.
3) Key findings included observations of a Borneo Red Dragonfly, Mimosa Pudica plant, and analyses of the site's ecology pyramid, food web, and comparisons of lifespan for different species.
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.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

"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.

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.

2. OUR SITE VISIT BRIEF
Our destination is Riverstone Eco Resort
which located at Hutan Lipur Sungai Tua.
We needed to saty at there for 2 days 1
night to complete our site investigation. We
went there at 15th April 2013 and back on
16th April 2013. The idea of this trip is to
allow the students to experience nature
and as to fullfill ENBE Project One which the
students need to study, explore and observe
the
natural habitat
3. ARRIVED RIVERSTONE

Riverstone
around 10.30am. Then our lecturers start
their briefing and allowed us to explore our
site after the brief.
5. INVESTIGATING OUR SITE
After we found our site, we start taking photo and video for our group video. We
also
start to find those creatures and plants at our site to meet the requirement of the

17. LIFE CYCLE OF MIMOSA PUDICA L.
Seeds Mimosa pudica
Soak seeds in warm water until
they become swollen covering
with soil two to three times their
thickness. Keep the growing
medium moist at all times. Do not
over-water or allow it to dry out
completely. Place in bright light
and wait for germination
Transplant into pots when
seedlings reach about 4 inches in
height, and resume regular care
for the plant's life.
In young plants, the
Mimosa pudica has erect
stems that transform to 5-
foot long creeping or trailing
stems. Pale, lilac pink
flowers in summer look like
fluffy balls, yet each cluster
holds individual flowers.
18. SENSE ---- SEE
I saw the water flows to the pond. I saw
wilted leaves beside the pond with some
elephant ear plants. Other than that, I
also
saw moss on the stones.
19. SENSE --- HEAR
I heard the sound of streaming of water at
our
site. I also heard many birds tweeting on the
rubber trees.
20. SENSE --- TASTE
I tasted the water in the river, it was
tasteless. I also tasted the sand
beside
the pond and it was also tasteless.
Then I tasted the grass. It was a bit
bitter.
21. SENSE --- SMELL
The mint smelled minty. There were
some rubbish smells in the forest which
not far from our site.
22. SENSE --- FEEL
The rubber tree was rough when I touched
it.
When I picked up the stone which covered
by
sand, it was wet and big.
