Interested in Computational Analogy? Wanting to come and discuss in Lisbon in June?

With Miguel Couceiro, Dafna Shahaf, and Zied Bouraoui, we are organizing Principia Analogiae, a new workshop and collaboration space between researchers from different disciplines and passionate about analogies (not a regular talks-and-posters). Event is invitation-only to keep it effective but feel free to disseminate to interested colleagues! No registration fee, we will cover lunch and social events.

Today marks a major milestone for cultural heritage: Linked Art 1.0 is officially released! 🎉

linked.art/about/1.0/

This specification (data model and API) provides museums, libraries, and archives with a standardised way to share and connect their collections data, built on standards.

Proud to see major institutions already adopting Linked Art (Yale, Rijksmuseum, Getty, National Gallery of Art) which makes cultural heritage data more discoverable, accessible, and connected.

@etienneandre Funny that I'm on my way from Nice to Antibes and just reading your post... Thinking about asking the SNCF to make a U-turn now 😀

TGDK is launching a Special Issue for Use-Case articles. They are interested in submissions describing use-cases (applications, events, products, services, etc.) that put research on Graph Data & Knowledge into practice. If you work on such initiatives, consider telling the community about them by submitting to the Special Issue!
Deadline is March 31, 2025.

Thanks to all professors, researchers and PhD students I had the chance to meet and discuss with, for all the insightful feedback and interesting questions!

Grazie mille Claudia per questa fantastica opportunità! Spero che avremmo l’opportunità di rivederci presto!

These last three weeks, I had the chance to be back at Università degli Studi di Bari as an invited researcher, to continue working with Claudia d'Amato on neuro-symbolic AI and knowledge graphs, after a first research visit in 2024.

I also delivered a seminar to the PhD school of Computer Science and Mathematics, entitled: "The Schema Strikes Back: Refining #KnowledgeGraphs with Neuro-Symbolic AI".

Webpage of the ISWC 2025 Conference. The Background picture is showing a autumn landscape with a few trees with colorful leafs. Under the trees, a bunch of deers are grazing. Seems to be a picture from the conference location, which is Nara in Japan, famous for its deers that are not shy of tourists...

How can LLMs, Knowledge Graphs and Search Engines be combined to best serve users? What are the strengths and limitations of these technologies?

Aidan Hogan (Chile, previously DERI, Linked data), Luna Dong (Meta, previously Amazon and Google), Gerhard Weikum (MPI, Yago), and myself (Wikimedia, previously Google) have been invited to give keynotes on this topic, and wrote a paper together to capture some of the ideas we were presenting.

One of my papers got declined today by the journal I submitted it to, with a polite letter saying that while they found the paper interesting, it was not a good fit for the journal. In truth, I largely agreed with their conclusions, and the paper is now submitted to a different (and hopefully more appropriate) journal.

Rejection is actually a relatively common occurrence for me, happening once or twice a year on average. I occasionally mention this fact to my students and colleagues, who are sometimes surprised that my rejection rate is far from zero. I have belatedly realized our profession is far more willing to announce successful accomplishments (such as having a paper accepted, or a result proved) than unsuccessful ones (such as a paper rejected, or a proof attempt not working), except when the failures are somehow controversial. Because of this, a perception can be created that all of one's peers are achieving either success or controversy, with one's own personal career ending up becoming the only known source of examples of "mundane" failure. I speculate that this may be a contributor to the "impostor syndrome" that is prevalent in this field (though, again, not widely disseminated, due to the aforementioned reporting bias, and perhaps also due to some stigma regarding the topic). So I decided to report this (rather routine) rejection as a token gesture towards more accurate disclosure. (1/2)

@aethrvmn thanks for your interest! Actually, if I'm not mistaken, it is not mandatory. I think there can be training to learn French during the position.

Expected skills: Web development, DevOps

Basics of Machine Learning / Deep Learning, Large Language Models, Natural Language Processing, or Knowledge Graphs would be appreciated.
