The CTU Prague Relational Learning Repository
The aim of the Prague Relational Learning Repository is to support machine learning research with multi-relational data. The repository currently contains 148 SQL databases hosted on a public MySQL server located at https://relational-data.org. The server is provided by getML to support the relational machine learning community(www.getml.com). A searchable meta-database provides metadata (e.g., the number of tables in the database, the number of rows and columns in the tables, the number of self-relationships). Many organizations maintain their data in relational databases, which support complex structured data.
Britain's MI6 chief encourages Russian defectors to spy for the United Kingdom: 'Our door is always open'
The leader of the United Kingdom's Secret Intelligence Service, commonly known as MI6, gave a rare speech in Prague Wednesday during which he encouraged Russians opposed to the war in Ukraine to spy for the British, telling any defectors from the Kremlin, "Our door is always open." "There are many Russians today who are silently appalled by the sight of their armed forces pulverizing Ukrainian cities, expelling innocent families from their homes and kidnapping thousands of children," MI6 chief Richard Moore said from the British embassy in Prague, according to The Telegraph. "They are watching in horror as their soldiers ravage a kindred country. They know in their hearts that Putin's case for attacking a fellow Slavic nation is fraudulent, a miasma of lies and fantasy." Moore stated that "many Russians are wrestling with the same dilemmas and the same tugs of conscience" as those a generation ago did in 1968 when Soviet tanks crushed the Prague spring uprisings. "I invite them to do what others have already done this past 18 months and join hands with us. Our door is always open," the U.K. Secret Intelligence Service chief said.
'Join hands with us': Britain's MI6 chief urges Russians to spy
The head of Britain's MI6 intelligence service has asked Russians angry with the invasion of Ukraine to "join hands" with the United Kingdom to help end the bloodshed, an invitation that is sure to stir fury at the Kremlin. "I invite them to do what others have done this past 18 months and join hands with us. Our door is always open … Their secrets will be safe with us and together we will work to bring the bloodshed to an end," Richard Moore told Politico on Wednesday, at the British embassy in Prague. A similar invitation was made two months ago by Washington, when the CIA released a video urging Russians to get in touch. Perhaps the people around you don't want to hear the truth.
Britain's Secret Intelligence Service chief says AI won't replace need for human spies
Republican Rep. Lance Gooden is concerned that AI could eventually replace human decision-making in government and other critical areas of society. The head of Britain's MI6 intelligence agency said artificial intelligence will not replace the need for human spies during a rare public speech in Prague Wednesday. Richard Moore, chief of the U.K.'s Secret Intelligence Service, spoke on the evolving threats to the West from Russia and Iran at the British Embassy in Prague on Wednesday. He also addressed the importance and necessity of the "human factor" despite rapidly evolving machine learning, according to the Associated Press. "AI is going to make information infinitely more accessible and some have asked whether it will put intelligence services like mine out of business," the spy chief said.
VISION AI Open Day: Trustworthy AI
The second VISION AI Open Day took place on Thursday 1 June in Prague. The focus was on "trustworthy AI" and the programme featured a roundtable discussion which was live-streamed. The panellists started by defining the main characteristics of trustworthiness in AI systems. They then moved on to talk more specifically about generative AI, which was the focus for the rest of the session. As well as discussing some of the risks and opportunities associated with generative AI, they touched on issues of transparency, explainability and ethics.

Ukraine's tech entrepreneurs fight war on a different front
PRAGUE – Eugene Nayshtetik and his five co-workers shuttered their company developing medical and biotech startups to join the defense forces days after Russia invaded Ukraine. Within two months, their commanders agreed it would be more useful if they swapped their military gear for computers. With the government's blessing, Nayshtetik and his team of engineers moved to neighboring Poland where they raised initial funding from a Polish company, Air Res Aviation, to develop a new drone for the Ukrainian military. Jerzy Nowak, president and co-owner of Air Res Aviation, said his company's initial investment in the drone project amounted to around $200,000. This could be due to a conflict with your ad-blocking or security software.
Customer service AI is programmed to infuriate us
When I decided on a holiday to central Europe, I should have known that the ghost of Kafka might make an appearance, even though this was Vienna rather than Prague. I won't name the budget airline in question, but suffice to say this firm has a policy of whacking customers with a hefty penalty fee if they fail to check in on the app at least three hours before departure. On attempting this, however, the app informed me that I'd "overpaid by £8" and should contact customer service for a refund before proceeding. This hotline was expensive to call – so much so that it was bound to absorb the £8 pretty quickly, yet saying "I don't care if I overpaid slightly, just check me into the darn flight" wasn't an option either. Instead I was bounced from one automated customer service assistant to another, each dispensing bland and sometimes contradictory wisdom.

Then call them 'robots' • TechCrunch
Before they were robots, they were "androids" or "automatons." The word "robot" is commonly accepted as having arrived in English through -- of all places -- a Czech play. "R.U.R." made its public debut in Prague 102 years ago, yesterday. It would arrive in the States a year and a half later, with Spencer Tracy making his nonspeaking Broadway debut as one of Rossum's titular Universal Robots. The playwright Karel Čapek humbly noted the following decade that he couldn't take full credit for the word's origin.
