Educational Series on Applied Ontology (ESAO) — upcoming seminars:
(for all information relative to ESAO, click on the link above)
* October 1st, 2024
Speakers:
** Oliver Kutz, Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, Italy. Title of the talk: Concepts, concept combinations, and the tooth operator.
Abstract: We will discuss some of the approaches to model concepts and concept combinations with the help of logic, and illustrate how such modelling approaches are capable (or not) of modelling aspects of human reasoning with concepts.
We will then explain the basic ideas underlying the framework of weighted description logics, also called perceptron or ‘tooth’ logic, and illustrate its key features and benefits for modelling and reasoning with concepts.
** Maria Hedblom, Jönköping University, Sweden. Title of the talk: Cognitive foundations for KR
Abstract: Some of the main cognitive theories for human conceptualisation and reasoning propose that there are a finite number of cognitive patterns laying the foundation for meaning and symbol grounding. Such patterns are essential in semantic modelling and could with benefits be knowledge representation. This introductory talk will present some perspectives on these cognitive patterns and relate them to formal theories in knowledge representation.

ONTOLOGY SUMMIT 2024
=======================================================
Topic: Hybrid Neuro-Symbolic Techniques for and with Ontologies and Knowledge Graphs
website: https://ontologforum.com/index.php/OntologySummit2024
The Ontology Summit is an annual series of events that involves the ontology community and communities related to each year’s theme chosen for the summit. The Ontology Summit was started by Ontolog and NIST, and the program has been co-organized by Ontolog and NIST along with the co-sponsorship of other organizations that are supportive of the Summit goals and objectives.
As part of Ontolog’s general advocacy to bring ontology science and related engineering into the mainstream, we endeavor to facilitate discussion and knowledge sharing amongst stakeholders and interested parties relevant to the use of ontologies. The results will be synthesized and summarized in the form of the Ontology Summit 2024 Communiqué, with expanded supporting material provided on the web and in journal articles.

Ontology Summit 2024
(from: https://ontologforum.com/index.php/OntologySummit2024)
Hybrid Neuro-Symbolic Techniques for and with Ontologies and Knowledge Graphs
The Ontology Summit is an annual series of events that involves the ontology community and communities related to each year’s theme chosen for the summit. The Ontology Summit was started by Ontolog and NIST, and the program has been co-organized by Ontolog and NIST along with the co-sponsorship of other organizations that are supportive of the Summit goals and objectives.
As part of Ontolog’s general advocacy to bring ontology science and related engineering into the mainstream, we endeavor to facilitate discussion and knowledge sharing amongst stakeholders and interested parties relevant to the use of ontologies. The results will be synthesized and summarized in the form of the Ontology Summit 2024 Communiqué, with expanded supporting material provided on the web and in journal articles.
Description
The summit will survey current techniques that combine neural network machine learning with symbolic methods, especially methods based on ontologies and knowledge graphs.
Ontologies are representations of a knowledge domain. They define the concepts, relationships, properties, axioms and rules within that domain, providing a framework that enables a deep understanding of that subject area. Knowledge graphs are structured representations of semantic knowledge that are stored in a graph. Ontologies and knowledge graphs are used to enable machine reasoning and semantic understanding, allowing a system to draw inferences and to derive new information and relationships between entities.
Neural network and other machine learning models, such as LLMs, are trained on large corpora, learning the patterns and connections between words and images. Hence, although their “knowledge base” is broad, it is also sometimes incorrect and/or biased, and doesn’t explicitly understand the semantics or relationships in that content.
Consequently, neural network and traditional AI techniques are complementary. The Fall Series of the summit explored the similarities and distinctions between ontologies and LLMs, as well as how they can be used together. The Main Summit Series will examine the more general topic of neuro-symbolic techniques, especially how one can leverage the complementary benefits of neural networks and of ontologies and knowledge graphs.
