This course is an elective course in the master of the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture at Ghent University. It is opened up to professionals through a micro-credential.

The course includes theory, exercises, a peer teaching assignment, and an oral exam.

It should prepare you for a job as a Linked Data engineer as well as prepare you academically to study knowledge graph technologies as part of your PhD trajectory.

Noam Chomsky on Artificial Intelligence: "The human mind is not, like ChatGPT and its ilk, a lumbering statistical engine for pattern matching, gorging on hundreds of terabytes of data and extrapolating the most likely conversational response or most probable answer to a scientific question. On the contrary, the human mind is a surprisingly efficient and even elegant system that operates with small amounts of information; it seeks not to infer brute correlations among data points but to create explanations..."
"... Let's stop calling it "Artificial Intelligence" then and call it for what it is and makes "plagiarism software" because "It doesn't create anything, but copies existing works, of existing artists, modifying them enough to escape copyright laws...."

@josd I'm blushing 😊 Thank you for that strong compliment about log:complement as negation in RDF/N3 !

I know #ActivityPub does not exactly have an official holiday, but on January 23rd (2018) the WC3 gave their official recommendation of ActivityPub, which I believe helped it gain popularity amongst numerous social platforms.

👉🏾 Happy #Fediverse Day! https://darnell.day/happy-fediverse-day

So if you can, raise a glass of gratitude to the five founders of the Fediverse (listed in the link), as without them the masses would lack credible alternatives to the major social networks that exist today.

@josd my pleasure! It's great working with you on reasoning languages in #rdf and the broader #linkeddata landscape.

Today I got my #steam end-of-year review, wich is a perfect example of what I am talking about here. It says I played only 1 (one!) game over the whole year!

I do not have a huge amount of time for gaming, but this is just not true. I played a lot on other platforms.

If those platforms stored the data to my #solid pod, I could get an integrated view of my whole #gaming experience in 2023.

#datasilos are blocking our view on the truth.

It’s hard not to say “AI” when everybody else does too, but technically calling it AI is buying into the marketing. There is no intelligence there, and it’s not going to become sentient. It’s just statistics, and the danger they pose is primarily through the false sense of skill or fitness for purpose that people ascribe to them.
