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.

Editor's Notes
Business and IT leaders are seeing significant shifts in the landscape. Globalization continues drive the reality of world markets. Meeting customer needs necessitates new thinking around integration and innovation, and finally, technology is evolving to help meet new business requirements and offer new IT delivery models choices.
Yet we still have significant challenges facing us with the IT infrastructure. Here are some interesting facts that may surprise you: Up to 85% of computing capacity sits idle in distributed computing environments. All of this instrumentation, intelligence, and interconnectedness of devices, people, and nature, is creating an information explosion and storage shipments are soaring. Studies have uncovered that on average, 70 cents out of every IT dollar spent goes to maintaining the current infrastructure versus adding new capabilities On the business side, IT limitations can result in billions of revenue lost due to supply chain inefficiencies, or loss of customers because of security breaches.
As processes become more interrelated and complex, IT will be called on to solve business problems in a more streamlined and cost effective manner. Vucci, with IBM, is helping its customers achieve key goals that will enable their IT to be an enabler of innovation and a catalyst for change rather than a roadblock and inhibitor as it may be today. Doing more with less by reducing capital expenditures and operational expense Reducing risk by ensuring the right levels of security and resiliency Improving the quality of services and lower cost and delivering new services to fuel business growth And enabling new levels of agility to deliver these new services quickly and sieze new opportunities quickly Today we will talk about a model of computing that helps addresses these challenges – cloud computing.
Cloud computing is a new way to deliver IT services, and a new way to consume IT services. It evolved from internet consumer services and is about creating a delivery model that is all about the end user experience, end user control, and end user self-management. In practical business terms, it’s about increasing employee productivity by providing flexible and scalable desktop management or collaboration services from the cloud. Or speeding R&D through a cloud-delivered development and test environment that provides a level of agility and efficiency not possible with traditional IT environments. Companies can build out their own cloud environment, they can purchase a pre-integrated system designed specifically to provide a cloud delivered workload, or they can acquire a cloud delivered workload as a service from a third party. Clients are already seeing significant benefits from this new delivery model. The opportunity for you to provide value in helping clients implement this new model, is what we are going to talk about in this presentation.
I cloud computing really new? Well – Yes and no. It is an evolution of what we have done in the past – a derivative, if you will, of familiar computing models and implementing them in a new consumer-oriented way, delivered via the internet. It is enabled by an a convergence of technologies such as virtualization, dynamic infrastructure, and software-as-a-service. One could say that cloud computing represents the industrialization of IT. Analogies could include: Telcos automate traffic through switches to assure service and lower cost Manufacturers use robotics to improve quality and lower cost Banks use automated teller machines to improve service and lower cost
So what is really different about cloud computing? A traditional enterprise tends to pull together resources and deploy them in support of a business function workload in silos. The resources are dedicated to the workload and are unable to support other workloads when they may be needed. Cloud computing on the other hand utilizes a pooled resources environment that leverages virtualization in order for the physical assets to support multiple workloads. In order to drive efficiency of delivery and to enable self-service, self-management of cloud computing requires standardization of the assets (hw, sw, delivery), standardization of process, as well as automation. This is what delivers a responsive end user experience. Think about how ATMs have changed banking. Before ATM’s, customers would have to go to their own branch (when it was open, mind you), meet with a teller or other banking representative, and conduct various “customized” transactions. To implement ATM’s, banks had to standardize their processes of cash withdrawal, account balance inquiries, transfers, and deposits. Now banks have a much more consumer-oriented way to provide services to their customers that is literally available anywhere, any time. So from the end users point of view cloud computing is elastic in scalability, accessible from any device, anywhere, any time, and, if charged, pay only for what they use during the time they are using it. From a provider’s perspective its about an environment of highly virtualized resources that are location independent and have automated service management to handle provisioning, de-provisioning, change management, security and overall environment controls.
The economics driving cloud computing is realized through a convergence of technologies, combined with a focus on the end user. Virtualization drives higher utilization which lowers capital and operating expenses. Standardization also reduces capital and labor costs, while automation drives enhance user experience and automates many manual tasks to reduce errors and reduce the costs associated with managing an environment. Together these technologies help business do more with less, deliver higher quality services, and enable breakthrough ability while reducing risk. You could implement a cloud without all these elements, but it will not be a cost effective cloud that delivers with stability and enhanced end user self-enablement and self-management.
When it comes to delivering a cloud deployment there is a spectrum of deployment options available for you to choose from. The most common and written about is the public cloud option like Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), or Google Apps. These cloud deployments allow any user with a credit card to gain access to the resources. On the other end of the spectrum is a private cloud deployment where all the resources are owned, managed and controlled by the enterprise. And there are gradations in between from third party managed, to third party hosted, to a very common emerging model called “shared cloud services” or “member cloud services.” Here you must be a member to access the services, and they can be made available to you typically in a shared resources option or a dedicated resources option, depending on your needs and configurations. Finally you can merge the options between public and private and create what has been coined a “hybrid cloud”. We believe that there will be strong demand to help companies integrate public cloud services with their existing applications When it comes to deciding which cloud delivery option you want to choose it needs to tailored to the business, the time and money requirements, and the availability of the resources. There is a spectrum of delivery options, and there is no single right way.
In a survey IBM conducted in July 2009, 1,090 IT and LOB decision makers across the world were asked about their plans for cloud deployment, CIOs, IT Managers, and Business leaders were presented with a choice of over 100 different workloads and asked to rate their viability for a cloud delivery. We then asked them to identify whether they would prefer the workload be delivered internal with a private cloud, or would they be willing have it run in a fully shared environment on a public cloud. This chart gives us then the top workloads for each of those delivery types. We found that there is tremendous interest today among clients in private clouds – in both Large Enterprises and the Mid-market. In fact, 64% indicated a preference for private clouds vs. public, and when asked about specific workloads, they reported greater usage or consideration of private clouds for 22 of the 25 workloads surveyed. Clients want to start with something “safe” and under their control, so they are implementing clouds behind their firewalls. We also found there is great interest in public cloud services – especially with smaller clients, but within larger enterprises as well. As clients become more comfortable moving workloads to public clouds, and the portfolio of ISV applications available on the cloud grows, public cloud services will become more and more common. By the way, this will also result in a proliferation of hybrid clouds as clients integrate their private cloud environments with public cloud services. One final note: not all workloads will move to cloud – especially in the early going. Many business critical and custom applications will continue to be deployed through traditional IT infrastructures. Client’s are clearly interested in cloud, so let’s talk a little bit more about the business opportunity for you.
IBM market intelligence estimates that over the next several years there will be a strong demand for cloud-related offerings and services, with a compound revenue growth rate of 26% through 2015. This market growth will be 8 times faster than the non-cloud IT growth… and will become 10% of total IT spend by 2015: doubling from 2010. We look at the market opportunity in 3 major segments: components, infrastructure services, and business services. As this graph shows, a significant part of the growth here is in services, which accounts for over 65% of the opportunity and is growing faster than the hardware and software components that go into building clouds. You need to understand this shift in IT spending and be ready to take advantage of this opportunity.
Plan Phase offers pre-sales services opportunities Build: Resell of components Deliver: Post-sales support and managed services
Progression toward transformation starts with optimizing existing assets/processes and leverages best in class technology at each transition Each step balances improvements in efficiency and effectiveness and can be measured by business returns. An organization can move to cloud systematically taking one step at a time, or they can move right to a public OR private cloud deployment if it aligns best with their strategic vision for the business. As your clients’ IT partner, you are in a unique position to help them understand their options and lay out a roadmap to cloud. Readying the infrastructure requires the implementation of a Dynamic Infrastructure: consolidate your servers and storage, implement virtualization technologies to increase utilization, standardizing processes for operational efficiency, automating procedures for a more flexible delivery and enabling clients for self-service. Then you identify common workloads and set up shared resources, and finally, to achieve a true cloud-enabled environment, clients must be able to provision the workloads in a dynamic fashion.
