Semantic embedding is to represent symbolic knowledge as vectors, which can dramatically extend the tools and algorithms for processing and utilising symbolic knowledge. In the report, I will focus on some recent embedding methods for ontologies of Web Ontology Language, which are equipped with different kinds of semantics including Description Logic, hierarchical graph structure and literals. The contents vary from geometric embeddings for logical and hierarchical relationships, to language model-based embeddings for text-equipped ontologies.
Maven of the Month
We are also inviting top experts in AI and Knowledge Technologies to discuss major socio-technological topics with an audience that comprises both members of the Knowledge Media Institute, as well as the wider staff at The Open University. Differently from our seminar series, these events follow a Q&A format.
