  • Yaakov Belch: Humans in the Loop? No. Humans in Control
    Jan 7 2025

    Yaakov Belch is an AI researcher with strong ideas about the role of humans in AI systems. Instead of "human in the loop," he argues, we should put "humans in control."

    Yaakov's research looks at business contracts and how knowledge graphs and AI systems can both capture their meaning more accurately and help managers make better business decisions.

  • Michael Iantosca: Managing Dynamic Content with Knowledge Graphs
    Dec 18 2024

    Where content, knowledge management, and AI converge, you'll find Michael Iantosca.

    As many in the AI world flock to probabilistic models like LLMs, Michael takes a deterministic approach to content management and knowledge engineering, using ontologies and knowledge graphs to ground content in a concrete facts.

    This approach embodies his insight that content and the models that describe it are not static information but rather valuable, ever-evolving enterprise IP assets.

  • Andreas Blumauer: The Elements of the Enterprise Semantic Layer
    Nov 12 2024

    Every enterprise nowadays is awash in data, content, and knowledge, the understanding of which is all too often available only in employees' heads.

    Forward-thinking businesses are moving to knowledge graphs to capture that tacit knowledge so that they can better understand and use it.

    Andreas Blumauer shows how those graphs work best when they're accompanied by a domain knowledge model, creating a "semantic layer" that provides a vivid map of your business knowledge.

  • Jessica Talisman: Using SKOS to Build Better Knowledge Systems
    Nov 6 2024

    Jessica Talisman is a seasoned information architect with decades of experience across a variety of domains.

    She's done a lot of education and outreach around her semantic and and information architecture practices.

    One of the most important lessons she's learned is the crucial role of standards like the W3C SKOS model to bring structure and semantics to information and knowledge systems.

    Since there are never enough information architects in any organization, she supports the democratization of IA practices, but she's also quick to highlight the unique skills that you can only get with deep study.

  • Paco Nathan: Graph Thinking to Better Understand Graph RAG
    Oct 3 2024

    Graph RAG is all the rage right now in the AI world. Paco Nathan is uniquely positioned to help the industry understand and contextualize this new technology.

    Paco currently leads a knowledge graph practice at an AI startup, and he has been immersed in the AI community for more than 40 years.

    His broad and deep understanding of the tech and business terrain, along with his "graph thinking" approach, provides executives and other decision makers a clear view of terrain that is often obfuscated by less experienced and knowledgeable advisors.

  • Katariina Kari: Building Knowledge Graphs for E-Commerce Giants
    Sep 26 2024

    For the past eight years, Katariina Kari has built knowledge graph teams at giant e-commerce companies like IKEA and Zalando. This practical, real-world experience puts her in an elite group of ontology and knowledge graph experts.

    Knowledge graphs offer unique benefits to e-commerce merchants. From better product recommendations to more useful search results, the semantic capabilities that knowledge graphs provide routinely result in seven-figure sales increases.

    The knowledge graphs that Katariina builds provide a semantic layer in the enterprise architecture that lets companies capture, use, and re-use the organization's unique domain knowledge in any number of applications.
