			== Neuro-Symbolic Techniques for and with Ontologies and Knowledge Graphs ==

			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.

=== Fall Series Theme ===

Ontologies and Large Language Models (LLMs) such as OpenAI's GPT-4 represent two different but related concepts within the fields of artificial intelligence and knowledge representation.

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. Ontologies are used to enable machine reasoning and semantic understanding, allowing a system to draw inferences and to derive new information and relationships between entities.

On the other hand, LLMs are machine learning models that aim to generate human-like responses (including text and images) based on an input (“prompt”). They are trained on a large corpora of (mostly online) text, learning the patterns and connections between words and images. Hence, although their “knowledge base” is broad, it is also sometimes incorrect and/or biased. LLMs generate new content based on their training data, but don't explicitly understand the semantics or relationships in that content.
This mini-summit explores the similarities and distinctions between ontologies and LLMs, as well as how they can be used together.
In addition, the success of LLMs has generated much interest in AI and machine learning. This can be leveraged to promote the benefits of, and increase awareness of, the value of ontologies.
