SCOR Online Seminar — October 30, 15:00 UTC
=============================================

The Third SCOR Online Seminar — Tarcisio Mendes de Farias on ontologies and LLMs, October 30, 15:00 UTC

The SCOR Online Seminar is an activity of the Swiss Center for Ontological Research (SCOR) [1].
It is a one-hour public online seminar (including a brief Q&A session) by an ontology researcher/practitioner in Switzerland (and beyond).

Date and Time
Thursday, October 30, 2025
15:00 UTC / 16:00 CET / 11:00 EDT

Organizer
Fumiaki Toyoshima (University of Neuchâtel)

Location
Online (via Webex): https://unine.webex.com/unine/j.php?MTID=m88edf40cd379b0b880ddcfa3f5bb7316

Program
Tarcisio Mendes de Farias (SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics)
“Knowledge Representation and Ontologies in the Era of Large Language Models”

Abstract
With the advent of large language models (LLMs), we are currently able to build applications with a relatively good accuracy that can process and generate “human”-like text, engage in natural language conversations, and perform several types of tasks based on users’ prompts. Nevertheless, it is well known that LLMs and their applications can have several limitations among them: hallucinations, indecisiveness, a “black-box” approach and lacking domain-specific knowledge. To address these limitations and more, the knowledge representation with ontologies can play a key role by making it possible to use and enhance LLMs for challenging applications that demand a high accuracy and verifiable outcomes. One of these applications is scientific question answering. In this talk, I will present different strategies to address the LLM limitations such as fine- and prompt-tuning, discuss effective relations between ontologies and LLMs, and our latest work on building a question answering system over scientific data in the form of knowledge graphs. In this recent work, we also seek to leverage the ontologies used to build these knowledge graphs.

Short bio
Dr. Tarcisio Mendes de Farias is a team leader and a computer scientist by training at the SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics. He co-leads the Knowledge Representation Unit [2] at SIB. Currently, he is a PI in several national and international research and infrastructure projects involving the R&D of advanced methodologies for ontology engineering, data management, semantic data interoperability and integration, and question answering systems based on large language models.

Title: Ontology-based Ethical Requirements for AI Systems

Abstract: Ethical behavior is an integral part of people’s everyday life whether they are aware of this or not. This is what happens, for example, when doctors use ethical criteria to choose which patients should be prioritized in face of limited resources, or when people are treated fairly in job interview despite their color and gender. With the speedy development of intelligent technology, systems are more and more pervasive, and machines are also expected to make ethical decisions and act ethically. However, to ensure that, system developers must be aware of ethical principles. Moreover, such principles must guide development, thus being explicitly embedded in system engineering methods. In this talk, I argue that ontologies can play a crucial role in supporting awareness, besides being essential in the development of engineering practices leading to ethical and trustworthy systems. In particular, I will introduce our own current efforts in the development of ontology-based requirements engineering and what that entails.
