Modular design patterns for hybrid learning and reasoning systems: a taxonomy, patterns and use cases

The unification of statistical (data-driven) and symbolic (knowledge-driven) methods is widely recognized as one of the key challenges of modern AI. Recent years have seen a large number of publications on such hybrid neuro-symbolic AI systems. That rapidly growing literature is highly diverse, mostly empirical, and is lacking a unifying view of...

Hybrid ai: white paper

Hybrid Artificial Intelligence combines the best of two worlds: the power of recent advances in deep learning with the possibility to explicitly model human knowledge in connected systems. Together, this new generation of AI becomes more controllable, explainable and fair, in line with European norms and values.

Recipe-Based Engineering and Operator Support for Flexible Configuration of High-Mix Assembly

Nowadays, manufacturers must be increasingly flexible to quickly produce a high mix of on-demand, customer-specific, low volume product types. This requires flexible assembly lines with operators that are well-supported in their constantly changing assembly task, while producing high-quality, first-time-right, zero-defect products. Information...

The federated ontology of the pal project interfacing ontologies and integrating time-dependent data

This paper describes ongoing work carried out in the European project PAL which will support childre in their diabetes self-management as well as assist health professionals and parents involved in the diabete regimen of the child. Here, we will focus on the construction of the PAL ontology which has been assemble from several independently...

Ontologies for Social, Cognitive and Affective Agent-Based Support of Child’s Diabetes Self Management

The PAL project is developing: (1) an embodied conversational agent (robot and its avatar); (2) applications for child-agent activities that help children from 8 to 14 years old to acquire the required knowledge, skills and attitude for adequate diabetes self-management; and (3) dashboards for caregivers to enhance their supportive role for this...

Ontology Matching for Big Data Applications in the Smart Dairy Farming Domain.

This paper addresses the use of ontologies for combining different sensor data sources to enable big data analysis in the dairy farming domain. We have made existing data sources accessible via linked data RDF mechanisms using OWL ontologies on Virtuoso and D2RQ triple stores. In addition, we have created a common ontology for the domain and...

Data standards quality measured for achieving enterprise interoperability: The case of the SETU standard for flexible staffing

Data standards should play an important role in achieving inter-organizational interoperability. Millions are spent on development and adoption of these standards, but does it lead to interoperability? This important question is often not addressed. In this study data interoperability in the Dutch temporary staffing industry is studied by...

Towards a model-based semantic e-Invoicing standard for the Dutch government

In this paper we discuss the case of defining a common semantic e-invoicing model for the Dutch government. We have defined a model-based methodology for developing semantic standards and have applied this methodology to the e-invoicing model. This methodology takes into account that multiple standards already exist, as is the case for e...

The Measurement of Quality of Semantic Standards: the Application of a Quality Model on the SETU standard for eGovernment

eGovernment interoperability should be dealt with using high-quality standards. A quality model for standards is presented based on knowledge from the software engineering domain. In the tradition of action research the model is used on the SETU standard, a standard that is mandatory in the public sector of the Netherlands in order to achieve...

The quality measurement of semantic standards; the case of the SETU standard for the dutch egovernment (Abstract)

In order to achieve eGovernment interoperability we need high quality standards. A quality model for standards is presented based on knowledge from the software engineering domain. This model is tested on the SETU standard, a standard that is mandatory in the public sector of the Netherlands in order to achieve eGovernment interoperability. This...

Strategies for using international domain standards within a national context: The case of the Dutch temporary staffing industry

This paper will discuss strategies for using international domain standards within a national context. The various strategies are illustrated by means of a case study of the temporary staffing industry. © 2009 ITU.
