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.

Called “the leading think tank in performance measurement for government” on OMB’s
ExpectMore.gov, The Performance Institute has been a leader in Performance Management
training and policy since the 2000 administration transition. As part of the Government
Performance Coalition, a group of good government organizations, the Institute worked in
2000 to deliver recommendations to the then new administration on what would become
the President’s Management Agenda.
In 2009, the Institute is leading Innovations in Government: From Transition to
Transformation, or InnoGOV.org, a collection of forums, research and recommendations to
bring insight and transformation to the federal government. The goal of InnoGOV.org is to
centralize the importance of performance, accountability and transparency in government
and to disseminate the leading best practices to government managers.
The Performance Institute has published several research reports regarding performance
management initiatives and trains over 10,000 government managers per year on
performance-based topics. Dedicated to improving citizen services and taxpayer
transparency, the Institute uses a best-practices foundation to deliver the most effective and
tested methodologies for improving performance.
