How Will the Trajectory of Human-Machine Interaction Change Over Time?

Many predictions have foretold that there will be a reduction in the interaction between humans and machines in proportion to the advances made by artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) systems. What is, however, being witnessed today is that human input is still a necessity for most common forms of AI/ML training. Does this […]

Introducing a Third Graph Type

For a long time, there were only two main types of graph databases — Resource Description Framework (RDF) and Labeled Property Graphs (LPGs). As these graphs excelled at different things, users had to choose one based on their main use case and hope that their requirements do not change too much. Today, with the emergence […]

The Finance Ministers of the European Union Endorse the Green Taxonomy

The European Council has been deliberating with the European Parliament, which comprises heads of European Union (EU) states, on implementing a classification system, known as the EU taxonomy for sustainable investments, into all EU legislations. Consequently, at an Economic and Financial Affairs Council meeting that took place recently, the EU finance ministers endorsed the classification […]

Threat Taxonomy for 5G Networks

5G, an advanced wireless technology, promises low latency, high speeds, and more reliable connectivity. A new report, however, warns that the next-gen technology is likely to bring new security threats such as outages, nefarious activities and physical attacks. In its Nov. 21 “ENISA Threat Landscape for 5G Networks” report, the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity […]

Building and Maintaining a Taxonomy is a Team Effort

In 2007, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) mandated the use of the eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) for public company reporting, with the US GAAP Financial Reporting Taxonomy (Taxonomy) as a critical component for standardizing the reported data. SEC awarded the contract for building the Taxonomy to XBRL US and the same was completed […]

Building Artificial Intelligence Applications that can be Trusted

There is skepticism around the potential of artificial intelligence (AI), which is based on algorithms of machine learning (ML), because of its inability to derive new insights from historical data, make their decisions explainable and transparent, and incorporate new conditions and regulatory frameworks quickly. A way out of this conundrum could be Semantic AI. At […]

Financial Planning and Analysis Professionals Should Learn the Taxonomy of Risk

There is an overlap between the financial planning and analysis (FP&A) and the risk management teams as both are focused on ensuring an organization is on track to achieve its business objectives. This shared objective presents a common ground for discussing risk. To explain, the FP&A team focuses on how to achieve goals and create […]

Taxonomy of Adversarial Machine Learning

Last month, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) released its Draft NISTIR 8269, A Taxonomy and Terminology of Adversarial Machine Learning. The intent behind releasing the draft was to assist teachers and practitioners develop a single lexicon for Adversarial Machine Learning (AML) and set the standards and best practices for managing the security […]

Knowledge Graphs as Integration Point for Artificial Intelligence Technologies

Knowledge graphs and blockchain (a distributed ledger system) are highly referential. For instance, knowledge graphs need distributed ledgers to secure keys, and distributed ledgers need knowledge graphs to provide the necessary context and provenance for those keys. For this to happen, knowledge graphs need to evolve to become at least immutable—a critical requirement for data […]

Leveraging a Thesaurus to Create a Conceptual Map of Chinese Art

London’s Victoria & Albert (V & A) Museum has launched the pilot phase of the Chinese Iconography Thesaurus (CIT) project that has been in development since 2016. The goal of the project is to explore the complex relationships between images, ideas, and abstraction in Chinese art and history. Additionally, the project will offer researchers, curators, […]
