Finally we had lovely workshop with the participants trying to find out different ways to think about quality and testing in different parts of the DevOps infinity loop.
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.

10. IC tomorrow and Abertay University
Abertay University is offering a Prototype Fund specially designed for start-up and small,
established developers requiring additional working capital up to £25,000 to cover the staff
costs to produce a prototype for a new intellectual property.
. Together with IC tomorrow, Abertay University has run contests using its Protoype Fund
capital to find the best gaming concepts for IC tomorrow partners, including EMI, Tate Britain,
and National Geographic.
11.
12. About Abertay

13. The Games for Film contest
The contest aims to provide the best games and film concepts for our challenge
partners, the BFI (British Film Institute) and Lionsgate.
16. Challenge #1: Theatrical releases
To develop a marketing concept using gaming mechanics to drive consumer engagement with
new theatrical release(s).
For a theatrical release, the objectives should be immediate and should:
• drive engagement
• communicate key selling points
• drive ticket sales for the cinema
• increase word of mouth recommendations via audience to friends.
In short, the game should have either a viral element to it or it should create a desire to
forward/share with friends. Leaderboards with competition prizes could form a simple solution to
creating desire to share, driving competition between friends or other possible solutions could
use social location mechanics.
The type of game or game mechanic is open; as is the platform; but it is expected that the
applicant will be creatively influenced by the choice of movie.
17. Challenge #1: Theatrical releases
The list of possible titles from which the developer can choose is as follows:
THE POSSESSION *Please note that due to the complex nature
TOWER BLOCK* of global film distribution and the intellectual
THE BIG WEDDING property associated with any release the

might approach films in a genre sense for
DIRTY DANCING
this challenge, rather than specifically
THE RAILWAY MAN develop for the film listed.
THE INVISIBLE WOMAN
FILTH
THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE
18.
19. Challenge #1: Theatrical releases
For a theatrical release, the objectives should be immediate and should:
• create engaging content to capture audience and potentially drive revenue
• deliver an innovative concept that will drive strong word of mouth (for games and media alike)
• design a concept that can be built upon from its initial execution e.g. extra levels/improved
technology performance/extended game play
• exploit and grow existing databases of interested and relevant consumers to effectively
market new releases (digital and theatrical)
• build desire to consume movie content
• integrate effective game play with content from film to align the entertainment value across
both platforms
• in an ideal scenario, the game would be 'skinnable', so that it can easily be transferred from
film to film
• crossover with social networking sites to spread awareness beyond the game directly.
20. Challenge #2: Home entertainment releases
Home entertainment marketing differs from theatrical release marketing in a number of ways. For
example the viewer can interact with the film while it is playing; and the experience can be more
solitary without the need for the sense of „event‟ which comes with a cinema release. Also home
entertainment, post-release, is much more instantly accessible: the audience does not have to go
to the cinema to consume what we are trying to sell as people can click through very simply from
their device (phone or tablet) to purchase.
In effect there is much more impulse opportunity across home entertainment marketing. It is also
important for us to promote our library titles in conjunction with our new releases where possible –
and this is relevant across both the theatrical and home entertainment challenges.
The type of game or game mechanic is open; as is the platform; but it is expected that the
applicant will be creatively influenced by the choice of movie.
21. Challenge #2: Home entertainment releases
The list of possible titles from which the developer can choose is as follows:
DIRTY DANCING (CLASSIC) THE BIG WEDDING
WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU‟RE EXPECTING SILENT HILL: REVELATION 3D
KELLY BROOK BRAND* GREAT EXPECTATIONS
THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE 3D

22. Challenge #2: Home entertainment releases
The successful applicant should attempt to do the following:
• create engaging content to capture audience and potentially drive revenue
• deliver an innovative concept that will drive strong word of mouth (for games and media alike)
• design a concept that can be built upon from its initial execution e.g. extra levels/improved
technology performance/extended game play
• exploit and grow existing databases of interested and relevant consumers to effectively
market new releases (digital and theatrical)
• build desire to consume movie content
• integrate effective gameplay with content from film/TV show to align the entertainment value
across both platforms
• implement click-to-purchase or pre-order capacity (from iTunes or linking through to online
retailers such as HMV, Amazon or Play.com)
• if applicable, include consumer detail so that they can access a movie/TV show within the
app
• In an ideal scenario, the game would be „skinnable‟, so that it can easily be transferred from
film to film
• crossover with social networking sites to spread awareness beyond the game directly.
25. Challenge #3: Spike Island
Spike Island is a new film
.
directed by Mat Whitecross
(Sex & Drugs & Rock &
Roll, 2010). The film
follows 72 hours in the
lives of five young lads
from Manchester who
travel to Spike Island to
see their idols, The Stone
Roses, play their legendary
1990 gig.
26. Challenge #3: Spike Island
There are a number of possible angles to a games and film partnership which the film
makers are keen to explore. These include, but are not restricted to:
• interactive elements that also provides info on the film
• the use of cast avatars
• an application or service which not only invites younger audience to engage with the film but
also has a nostalgia element – is it possible to appeal to two different demographics in one
game?
• creative use of the strong music element from the film
• an application or service which invites people to book their tickets or pre-buy a DVD
• a game that could work to promote the theatrical or DVD launch.
Please note that although the film is based around a Stone Roses gig and whilst the Stone Roses
are pivotal to the story and soundtrack, the producers would prefer to see examples of games
which are not just for fans of the band; rather for fans of the film.
29. Challenge #4: Smash and Grab
Smash and Grab: The Story of the Pink Panthers is a feature
documentary made for cinema. Produced by Academy Award-
.
nominated Mike Lerner, and Sundance–winning director
Havana Marking, the film reveals the underworld of diamond
stealing, smuggling and fencing.
With a detailed recounting of a safe heist as the back bone to
the film, there are also interviews with the police on the trail;
and, with the terrible Balkan conflicts as backdrop, an
explanation of the wider context. This is real life cops and
robbers - with a quarter of a billion dollars worth of jewels
already gone. Inspired by noir graphic novels and films such a
Sin City,Smash & Grab is part-animated using a brilliant and
original rotoscope technique.
30.
31. Challenge #4: Smash and Grab
There are several key themes to the movie which could be explored within the game:
• planning a heist
• stealing a diamond
• tracing a diamond globally as it makes its way back into the legal trade
• catching the bad guys.
We are particularly looking for applications which might sit within a social media context.
We would like gaming technology to connect audiences with the cinema release faster, drive
attendance, and to enable the “buzz” to spread quicker.
Another important aspect of the challenge is to make full use of the animation style. This is a
unique and innovative feature of the film and we would like the developers to make the most of it.
36. Innovation
•Looking for competitive advantage
•Something that gives the project an edge
•Unique game design, originality in deployment or market etc
•However, must be in the context of market opportunity
37. Route to market
•Looking for clarity of route to market
•Why the prototype will make a difference to getting there
•Next steps likely to generate additional working capital
•Broad view including use of prototype to promote project
•Explaining track record, relationships etc will improve success
38. Commercial viability
•Looking for ambition and reasonable scale
•Startups need to show potential for sustainable business
•Targeting new or untapped markets acceptable, BUT
•MUST show you understand the niche you have identified
•Need for working capital to fund project ahead of grant claims
39. Applicant potential
•Can you and your team deliver the prototype?
•Background, skills and past achievements important
•However, graduate start-ups not excluded –but in that case must show you have
mentors, networks etc in support
•This contest will look at this aspect very closely in terms of the potential to have a
sustainable business/supply chain relationship in the field
40.
41.
42. Business capacity
•Do you already have a development team?
•Does it have the required skills depth?
•One person developers /design-only teams may not qualify
•Identify weaknesses and explain how you will address
43. Important aspects
•Working capital needed to spend in advance and reclaim after
•Might take a couple of months for your first grant claim
•Grant is primarily for salary costs
•Evidence of PAYE payslips and bank statement required
•This applies also to Directors that are hands-on in the project
44. Funded projects
•Work in partner University, our studio or your own
•Overseen by industry-experienced Portfolio Managers
•Progression/milestones linked to grant payments
•Periodic retrospective claims
45. Sharing success
•Strictly speaking grant is non-repayable, BUT
•Expecting contribution to replenish fund from successful projects
•Mechanism proposed by recipient on case-by-case basis
•Example: % of sales revenue over £X sales until £Y cap
46.
47.
48. Other opportunities
