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.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

25. SOFTWARE IS EATING TELCO
•
Marc Andreessen was right about software
eating the world, especially when it comes to
Telecommunications...
-
The innovation void is being filled by
software people, not Telco’s
-
Software people think web first. This style
of thinking is inherently open
-
Software people think collaboratively APIs, collaborative working, open source
-
Software people think about building
communities & ecosystems

32. NO BUSINESS HAS A DIVINE RIGHT TO SURVIVE
“The fact is time is racing on: the
economy is declining, technology is
moving ahead and so are other parts of
the world. The telecoms sector hasn’t
had its ‘Lehman’ moment yet. But with
declining revenues, rising debt and
dated business models, I worry about
that happening,”

34. TAKE AWAYS
• Search for complacent industries with high margins
and poor user experiences!
• Don’t just talk to your customers, implement what
they tell you!
• Watch trends in your direct and indirect markets!
• Ensure your business model is multi faceted!
• Think about your DNA - create and integrate into
ecosystems, become de facto.!
• Have a Plan B, anticipate change
IBEGYOURPARTON.COM @JAMESPARTON
36. CASE STUDY:
M&A
• Think about what we have covered today!
• Despite being the clear number 1, Zuckerberg is
not making the same mistakes!
• Facebook is under performing in Youth segments,
Emerging Markets, and Mobile!
• Decision making at software speed, whilst resisting
the temptation to build in house!
• He wants the next Facebook to be Facebook
