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.

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.

[57] ABSTRACT
A universal electronic transaction card (“UET card”) is
capable of serving as a number of different credit cards, bank
cards, identi?cation cards, employee cards, medical and
health care management cards and the like. The UET card
includes storage elements, an input interface, a processor, a
display, and a communications interface. In a preferred
embodiment, the UET card stores transactional information
to eliminate paper receipts and includes security features to
prevent unauthorized use. The UET card may also be used
to replace conventional currency and traveler’s checks, and
may be con?gured to store and display promotional
information, such as advertising and incentives.
The invention also includes systems for using UET cards,
for example, health care management systems, communica
tion interface units, and methods for using the same, includ
ing methods of issuing an account authorization to a UET
card, a method of transferring transactional and account
information betWeen a UET card and a personal computer or
a mainframe computer, a method of using the UET card as
a remote terminal for a mainframe computer, and a method
of conducting an electronic transaction.
