Neuro-symbolic methods for Semantic Web ontologies

-

B9 L2 H2 H2

Semantic Web ontologies are widely used to provide a conceptual schema for sharing and integrating data and knowledge using a logic-based language. The content of ontologies may also be used to provide background knowledge in machine learning models or provide domain-specific constraints that can be verified automatically and used for zero-shot predictions. The combination of embedding symbolic representations (such as ontologies) and extracting symbolic representations from the embeddings are two main components of neuro-symbolic AI systems. I will introduce methods for embedding Semantic Web ontologies and outline some of the properties of the embeddings that relate to model and proof theory.
