Fuel Up JavaScript with Functional ProgrammingShine Xavier
JavaScript is the lingua franca of web development for over a decade. It has evolved tremendously along with the Web and has entrenched in modern browsers, complex Web applications, mobile development, server-side programming, and in emerging platforms like the Internet of Things.
Eventhough JavaScript has come a long way, a reinforced makeover to it will help build concurrent and massive systems that handle Big Data, IoT peripherals and many other complex eco systems. Functional Programming is the programming paradigm that could empower JavaScript to to enable more effective, robust, and flexible software development.
These days, Functional Programming is at the heart of every new generation programming technologies. The inclusion of Functional Programming in JavaScript will lead to advanced and futuristic systems.
The need of the hour is to unwrap the underlying concepts and its implementation in the software development process.
The 46th edition of FAYA:80 provides a unique opportunity for the JavaScript developers and technology enthusiasts to shed light on the functional programming paradigm and on writing efficient functional code in JavaScript.

A Comparison of Different Strategies for Automated Semantic Document AnnotationAnsgar Scherp
We introduce a framework for automated semantic document annotation that is composed of four processes, namely concept extraction, concept activation, annotation selection, and evaluation. The framework is used to implement and compare different annotation strategies motivated by the literature. For concept extraction, we apply entity detection with semantic hierarchical knowledge bases, Tri-gram, RAKE, and LDA. For concept activation, we compare a set of statistical, hierarchy-based, and graph-based methods. For selecting annotations, we compare top-k as well as kNN. In total, we define 43 different strategies including novel combinations like using graph-based activation with kNN. We have evaluated the strategies using three different datasets of varying size from three scientific disciplines (economics, politics, and computer science) that contain 100, 000 manually labeled documents in total. We obtain the best results on all three datasets by our novel combination of entity detection with graph-based activation (e.g., HITS and Degree) and kNN. For the economic and political science datasets, the best F-measure is .39 and .28, respectively. For the computer science dataset, the maximum F-measure of .33 can be reached. The experiments are the by far largest on scholarly content annotation, which typically are up to a few hundred documents per dataset only.

Unsupervised learning refers to a branch of algorithms that try to find structure in unlabeled data. Clustering algorithms, for example, try to partition elements of a dataset into related groups. Dimensionality reduction algorithms search for a simpler representation of a dataset. Spark's MLLib module contains implementations of several unsupervised learning algorithms that scale to huge datasets. In this talk, we'll dive into uses and implementations of Spark's K-means clustering and Singular Value Decomposition (SVD).

Bytewise Approximate Match: Theory, Algorithms and ApplicationsLiwei Ren任力偉
Byte-wise approximate matching has become an important field in computer science that includes not only practical value but also theoretical significance. This talk will use six cases to define and describe the concept of approximate matching rigorously. They are identicalness, containment, cross-sharing, similarity, approximate containment and approximate cross-sharing. Based on the concept of approximate matching, one can propose a theoretic framework that consists of many problems of approximate matching, searching & clustering. Algorithmic solutions and challenges of the matching problems will be briefed as well as theoretic analysis. This framework also includes some elements of our previous works in both document fingerprinting problem and mathematical evaluation of similarity digest schemes { TLSH, ssdeep, sdhash }. In the end, we will discuss applications in various security disciplines.
Facilitating Data Curation: a Solution Developed in the Toxicology DomainChristophe Debruyne

Presented at the 2020 IEEE 14th International Conference on Semantic Computing, San Diego, California, 3-5 February 2020
Toxicology aims to understand the adverse effects of
chemical compounds or physical agents on living organisms. For
chemicals, much information regarding safety testing of cosmetic
ingredients is now scattered in a plethora of safety evaluation
reports. Toxicologists in our university intend to collect this
information into a single repository. Their current approach uses
spreadsheets, does not scale well, and makes data curation and
querying cumbersome. Semantic technologies (e.g., RDF, OWL,
and Linked Data principles) would be more appropriate for
this purpose. However, this technology is not very accessible to
toxicologists without extensive training. In this paper, we report
on a tool that supports subject matter experts in the construction
of an RDF–based knowledge base for the toxicology domain. The
tool is using the jigsaw metaphor for guiding the subject matter
experts. We demonstrate that the jigsaw metaphor is a viable
option for generating RDF. Future work includes investigating
appropriate methods and tools for knowledge evolution and data
analysis.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

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.

Semantic Analysis using Wikipedia Taxonomy
1. Creating a taxonomy
for Wikipedia
Patrick Nicolas
Feb 11, 2012
http://patricknicolas.blogspot.com
http://www.slideshare.net/pnicolas
https://github.com/prnicolas
2. Introduction
The goal of the study is to build a Taxonomy Graph for the 3+
millions Wikipedia entries by leveraging the WordNet
hyponyms as a training set.
This model can used in a wide variety of commercial
applications from extracting context extraction and
automated Wiki classification to text summarization.
Notes:
• Definitions and notations are defined in the appendices
• The presentation assumes the reader has basic knowledge in
information retrieval, Natural Language Processing and Machine
Learning.

3. Process
The computation flow for the generation of taxonomy for
Wikipedia is summarized in the following 5 simple steps.
1. Extract abstract & categories from Wikipedia datasets
2. Generate the Hypernyms lineages for Wikipedia entries
which overlap with WordNet synsets
3. Extract, reduce and ordered N-Grams and their tags
(NNP, NN,.) from each Wikipedia abstract.
4. Create a training set of weighted graphs of each Wikipedia
abstract that has a corresponding hypernyms hierarchy
5. Optimize and apply the model for generating taxonomy
lineages for each Wikipedia entry

7. NGrams Frequency Analysis
Let’s define an N-Gram, w(n) (i.e. w(3) for a 3-Gram). The frequency of
the N-Gram within the corpus C is expressed as.
The inverse document frequency (IDF) is computed as
Let w(n) be a N-Gram with a frequency count(w(n)) composed of terms
wj j =1,n with a frequency count(wj) with a document D. The
frequency of the N-Gram is computed as

8. Weighting N-Grams
Most of Wikipedia concepts are well described in the first sentence
of each abstract. Therefore we can attribute a great weight to NGrams that are contained in the first sentence. The frequency f lD of
a N-Grams in the 1st sentence of a document is defined as
A simple regression analysis showed that a square root function
provide a more accurate contribution (weight) of a N-Gram in a
document D.

9. Tagging N-Grams
Although Conditional Random Fields is the predominant discriminative
classifier to predict sentence boundaries, token tags we found out that
the Maximum Entropy for binary features were more appropriate to
classify the first term in a sentence (NNP or NN).
The model features functions ft (w) => {0,1} are extracted by
maximizing the entropy H(p) of the probability of a word, w, has a
specific tag t.
Subjected to the constraints..

10. Wikipedia Tags Distribution
We extract the tags of Wikipedia
entries (1 to 4-Grams) in the
context of their abstracts. The
distribution of the frequency of
the tags shows that the proper
nouns (stemmed as NNP tags)
are the predominant tags.
The frequency distribution is used as
prior probability for finding a
Wikipedia entry of a specific tag.

11. Tag Predictive Model
We use a multinomial Naïve Bayes to predict the tag of
any given Wikipedia entry.
Let’s defined a set of classes Ck = { w(n) | tg(w(n)) = k } of
Wikipedia entries of specific tags (CNNP NN) & p(t| Ck)
the prior probability of a tag t to belong to a class.
The likelihood a given Wikipedia entry as a tag k is

12. Taxonomy Weighted Graph
Let’s define:
• taxonomy class (or Taxa) as a
graph node representing a
Hypernym (i.e. class=‘person’)
• taxonomy instance as entity
name (i.e. instance=‘Peter’ or
Peter IS-A a Person)
• Taxonomy lineage as the list
of ancestors (Hypernyms) of
an instance

13. Document taxonomy
Any document can be represented as a weighted
graph of taxonomy classes and instances.

14. Propagation Rule for Taxonomy Weights
The flow model is applied to the taxonomy weighted graph to compute
the weight of each taxonomy class from the normalized weight of
semantic N-Grams. The weights of taxonomy classes are normalized
with the root ‘entity’ (ω =1 ). The taxonomy instances (N-Grams) are
ordered & normalized by their respective weights ω( wk(n) )

15. Normalized Taxonomy Weight in Wikipedia
We analyze the
distribution of
weights along the
taxonomy lineage
for all Wikipedia
entries

16. Lineage Weights Estimator
The training using the initial set of WordNet hypernyms shows
that the distribution of normalized weights ωkalong the taxonomy
lineage for a specific similarity class C, can be approximated with
polynomial function (spline).
This estimator is used in the classification of the taxonomy
lineages of a Wikipedia abstract.

17. Similarity Metrics
In order to train a model using labeled WordNet hypernyms, a
similarity (or distance) metrics need to be defined. Let’s consider 2
