Backpropagation And Gradient Descent In Neural Networks | Neural Network Tuto...Simplilearn
This presentation about backpropagation and gradient descent will cover the basics of how backpropagation and gradient descent plays a role in training neural networks - using an example on how to recognize the handwritten digits using a neural network. After predicting the results, you will see how to train the network using backpropagation to obtain the results with high accuracy. Backpropagation is the process of updating the parameters of a network to reduce the error in prediction. You will also understand how to calculate the loss function to measure the error in the model. Finally, you will see with the help of a graph, how to find the minimum of a function using gradient descent. Now, let’s get started with learning backpropagation and gradient descent in neural networks.

Natural Language Provessing - Handling Narrarive Fields in Datasets for Class...Andrew Ferlitsch
Abstract: It is common for government and public datasets to include narrative fields, such as inspection reports, incident reporting, surveys, 911 calls, fire response, etc. In addition to categorical fields, such as datetime, location, demographics, these datasets tend to include a narrative description (e.g., what happened). It is typically in the narrative field that the most interesting data resides for the purpose of classifying. The problem, is that since the narrative is human interpreted and entered, each entry may be unique and if we use the whole entry as a single value, one will end up with an overfitted model that works only on the training data.
In this presentation, I will cover how natural language processing techniques are used to convert narrative fields into categorical data.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

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.

"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.
Let's dive deeper into the world of ODC! Ricardo Alves (OutSystems) will join us to tell all about the new Data Fabric. After that, Sezen de Bruijn (OutSystems) will get into the details on how to best design a sturdy architecture within ODC.

2. Initial History
• Neural Networks have been around a long time.
• 1943 - Warren McCulloch, a neurophysiologist and Walter Pitts,
a mathematician, published a paper on how neurons might work.
They modeled a simple neural network with electrical circuits.
• 1949 - The Organization of Behavior, by Donald Hebb reinforced
the concept of neurons.
• 1950s - Nathanial Rochester from the IBM research laboratories
led the first effort to simulate a neural network.
• 1959 - Bernard Widrow and Marcian Hoff of Stanford developed
the first real neural network – MADALINE.
• 1969 - Marvin Minsky and Seymour Papert's 1969 book
Perceptrons, kicked off the dissolutionment period where little
research continued until 1981.
i.e., demonstrated the Perceptron could not model an XOR operation.

15. Final Note – Training vs. Prediction
• Once we have trained the neural network, we do not have to
repeat the training steps when using the model for prediction.
• No repeating of Epochs, Gradient Descent and Backward Propagation.
• The model will run much faster than during training.
