Why do we DO Text Analysis?

Simply put – we do text analysis to improve enterprise search.
But what does that mean exactly? Our webinar, led by Helmut Nagy, COO at Semantic Web Company, and Michael Iantosca, Senior Director of Content Platforms at Avalara, will break it down in the following ways:

What is enterprise search?
How to extract entities from text with machine learning and/or taxonomies
Incorporating ontologies to enable named entity recognition
Concept-based tagging and how it can be paired with an enterprise knowledge graph to contextualize the content
Recipes towards structured content and how that can improve content delivery and grant personalized user experiences

Using Semantic Understanding in Content AND Structure
This webinar will guide viewers toward how better enterprise search can be used in real-world applications. Say you’re a contract department and you’re interested in locating paragraphs in various documents that pertain to penalties, which are spread across multiple databases and maybe even departments. A simple search is painstaking, but an enterprise search powered by semantics allows you to find specific articles down to the very sentence that mentions the penalty you’re looking for.
To achieve this, the search engine needs to semantically understand not only the content but also the structure of the document. There are standards such as DITA that focus on generic structures. Combined with knowledge graphs, this can be turned into a methodology for semantically understanding the structure of documents. This allows for more precise text analysis, as we can focus on using the right methods for the different contexts of a document. In this webinar, we will illustrate this principle with use cases, demos, and methodology.

Maschinen „verstehen“ helfen

Terminologie als Grundlage für Inhaltsqualität und Wissensmanagement ist vor allem für Menschen konzipiert. Aber digitale Transformation, künstliche Intelligenz, Internet der Dinge, digitale Zwillinge, semantische KI: Sie alle erfordern Terminologie in einer digitalen Form, die Maschinen „verstehen“. Wie können wir die hochwertigen, mehrsprachigen und unternehmensweit abgestimmten Daten an Taxonomien, Ontologien oder Wissensgraphen weitergeben?
In unserer Präsentation zeigen wir, wie Sie Daten gleichzeitig in Kalcium Quickterm nach allen Regeln der Terminologiekunst pflegen und sie dabei in Poolparty als Taxonomien via SKOS, SparQL und Linked Data Prinzipien für Semantische KI-Anwendungen weiterverwenden können.
Struktur:

Warum Maschinen Terminologie benötigen

ESG STRATEGIES WITHSEMANTIC AI

ESG meets Knowledge Graphs



Speaker
Andreas Blumauer, CEO & Co-founder, Semantic Web Company

What is Environmental Social Governance – ESG?

The global sustainability challenges have created new risk factors for both investors and companies, which require a re-evaluation of traditional investment approaches. Companies should view ESG not only as a necessity to be compliant, but as an opportunity for transformation.
How to build an ESG knowledge model as a basis for semantic search, ESG knowledge hubs, and smart recommender services
In this webinar, we introduce the ESG topic complex and we show that the use of a comprehensive ESG knowledge model can support the implementation of ESG strategies in a multitude of ways. For example, to optimize ESG risk management, enhance sustainability reporting, and even provide rich information around ESG topics to all types of stakeholders, including supply chain managers, risk managers, and ESG strategists.
Based on Semantic Web Company’s ESG knowledge model, we present several demo applications that illustrate the benefits of semantic knowledge graphs, especially when it comes to:

Integrating and efficiently accessing different interests
Hierarchical target systems (e.g. SDGs, EU taxonomy, etc.)
Multi-layered regulatory conditions in complex, dynamic knowledge domains

Among other things, we will also show how semantic enrichment helps ChatGPT elicit more precise answers to questions around ESG.
ESG meets Knowledge Graphs!

Taxonomies vs. Terminologies

Taxonomies and terminologies can be seen as different sides of the same coin. However, the focus is quite different. Taxonomies make linguistic data available for machines and humans to distill knowledge and often to manage chaos. Terminologies harmonize language, make sure everyone uses consistent and correct words, and try to avoid chaos from the outset.
Organizations obviously require both, so it is only natural for Semantic Web Company and Kaleidoscope to integrate their two platforms and offer a combined taxonomy and terminology management solution.
This presentation and demo show you:

how to connect your PoolParty taxonomy to the Kalcium terminology suite
and add terminology benefits to your existing data:

human-grade, rich metadata, organizational decision workflows, and automatic guidance in word choice for authors and translators alike

Unraveling Controversies: The mixed emotions felt toward generative AI
After ChatGPT was made available to the public in November 2022, it became clear to even the biggest AI skeptics that a new era has now dawned and that AI will eventually enter many areas of life in the coming years.
Can AI become responsible?
ChatGPT attracted a lot of attention with its detailed answers covering a wide range of knowledge areas, but at the same time the call for responsible and explainable AI became louder again. Indeed, a notable drawback of generative AI, and large language models (LLMs) in particular, is their tendency to often generate superficial and inaccurate information that, moreover, does not provide any provenance information.
While it has become clear in recent months that generative AI and especially LLMs, on which ChatGPT is also based, are arguably fundamental building blocks of an enterprise-grade AI architecture, this needs to be complemented by other technologies and measures in order to speak of responsible AI. In particular, governance models and legal frameworks have yet to be put in place, as will be mandated, for example, by the EU in its forthcoming AI Act, to provide sufficient assurances to all stakeholders (investors, companies, citizens and consumers, etc.).
In this webinar, Michael Iantosca (Avalara) and Andreas Blumauer (Semantic Web Company) discuss the merging of LLMs and semantic technologies, in particular how knowledge graphs can be used in combination with services like ChatGPT to develop applications that combine the best of both worlds to lead to responsible, explainable generative AI.
Questions identified as critical, particularly for regulated industries, will focus on:

What is the role of high-quality, well-structured training data?
How should the ‘human-in-the-loop (HITL)’ design principle be evaluated in the context of LLMs?
What AI applications for regulated industries, e.g. around ESG standards, are realistic in the immediate future?

Michael and Andreas have been working on the fusion of different AI, content and knowledge technologies for several decades, and at the end of this webinar still dare to look into the future to discuss and contrast different scenarios with more or less usable, respectively responsible AI.
We hope to see you there!

Enterprises generate an enormous amount of data and content every minute. This data feeds business applications such as recommender systems, search engines, chat bots, analytics tools, etc. But often these applications do not deliver the expected results, which diminishes the customer and employee experience when using an application. This ends up affecting the potential for companies to have a real impact on their processes and results.
Knowledge graphs and Semantic AI as the (better) next step
With the help of knowledge graphs and Semantic AI, organizations can enrich their data and content with semantic metadata, making it ready to be used across teams and enterprise systems.
Knowledge graphs use a powerful software stack to support the modern data and content infrastructure needed to create smart applications and leverage existing ones. That’s why Semantic Web Company and Ontotext have partnered to provide the blueprint for your success and allow applications to get the job done.
Our webinar will put a spotlight on this partnership and show you all the benefits of working with two of the best industry leaders.
Join Vassil Momtchev, CTO at Ontotext and Martin Trajkov, Business Development & Partner Sales Engineer at SWC as they walk you through the following topics:

How do knowledge graphs make a difference?
How to build knowledge graphs with PoolParty and GraphDB?

There is a growing interest in knowledge graphs to organize information and make it findable in organizations with large amounts of data and content. Unlike prior technologies such as big data or federated search, a knowledge graph has a structure that is typically based on taxonomies and ontologies, and as such needs to involve taxonomists, information architects and other information professionals.
Knowledge graphs have more benefits than just information findability, including discovery, analysis, and recommendation. Knowledge graphs bring together content and data, and both unstructured and structured data. This technology gives organizations the framework to optimize workplace structures and processes, thus improving the employee experience and quality of service to customers.
This webinar explains the problems knowledge graphs aim to solve, definitions and history of knowledge graphs, knowledge graph components (data in a graph database, taxonomies, and ontologies), building a knowledge graph, and example applications that information professionals can use.
Take-aways:

Understand what a knowledge graph is and what its distinguishing features and components are
Recognize the benefits of a knowledge graph
Know how a knowledge graph is built
Become familiar with standards and the industry around knowledge graphs

Henry Stewart DAM New York
2023-09-14 - 2023-09-15 | New York Hilton Midtown Hotel, 1335 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY, 10019, United States
Semantic Web Company is participating for the first time in a Henry Stewart DAM event, the leading conference and virtual event producer in the field of Digital Asset Management. DAM New York is the largest global conference dedicated to Digital Asset Management and the vital role DAM plays in digital transformation. DAM has evolved from a siloed creative tool to a major enterprise strategic application. Attendees will benefit from real-world case studies, interactive panels, workshops and roundtables, plus an additional day of pre-conference tutorials.
At this year’s annual DAM New York, listen to SWC’s Product Communications Representative and Knowledge Manager Heather Hedden speak on the panel “Taxonomy is What Powers DAM.” DAM and other enterprise systems built on metadata rely on taxonomies to identify, find and group assets so you can put them to work.
The first two panelists will speak on the role of an enterprise taxonomy to support the goals of the enterprise and how to improve a taxonomy and identify and address gaps. Heather will speak on taxonomy management best practices, that a taxonomy should not be confined to a single single DAM system, and that you need to consider how a DAM taxonomy should relate to other taxonomies across the enterprise. Success involves taxonomy alignment, linking, and governance that promotes consistency and facilitates the search for assets and information across different systems.

Responsible AI based on LLMSAn important distinction between Explainable AI (XAI) and Generative AI is that users of an XAI model can interpret and understand the logic behind the machine’s output. Especially in the case of using unstructured data, there is clear sourcing, traceability, and mapping between the logic of concepts. Based on this principle, the PoolParty Team has worked extensively with a partner’s machine learning capabilities and PoolParty’s graph-based metadata to develop a one-of-a-kind Insight Engine that delivers fact-validated insights for operational and financial risks.
The PoolParty Team has worked extensively on a demo application that combines the strengths of an LLM with Semantic AI – an Explainable AI whose sourcing you can trust. Using a knowledge graph that models the Environmental – Social – Governance (ESG) domain, our demo PoolParty Meets ChatGPT, adds an additional layer to ChatGPT that not only provides more comprehensive answers but also enrichens the answers with sources from the knowledge graph.
Date:Thursday 21 September, in Session 1.5 Knowledge Graphs, 10:45 – 13:00

Fostering Data Spaces interoperability with Language Models and Knowledge GraphsThe speakers present an approach to making use of Language Models and Knowledge Graphs in Data Spaces and Data Markets to foster data exchange and semantic interoperability.
Interoperability and language are the key enablers of efficient and sustainable data sharing among organizations, either in a certain industry or across industries, in the form of data trading or as data collaborations. Semantic interoperability requires referenceable models, including common metadata standards and quality certificates, as well as adequate language resources.
The presentation will explain the principles of Data Spaces, describe pros and cons of large vs. small language models, draw the problem statement of interoperability for value-added data sharing, and present the solution approach – including real world examples – of using Knowledge Graphs and Language Models to foster multilingual interoperability in Data Spaces.

Fusing Semantics and Property Graphs to Power Enterprise Recommender SystemsKnowledge graphs technologically developed into two distinct directions. The Semantic Web stack provides standardised technologies for semantic descriptions, interoperability and reasoning, whereas the property graph domain is focused on high-performance problem solving based on graph structures.
This talks presents an approach to bring together these two domains to build a knowledge-based enterprise recommender that is powered by a semantic knowledge graph and that processes the recommendations using Neo4j and a property graph representation. The use case is presented of of analyzing ESG-related documents and supporting the writing of ESG reports by providing intelligent insights into ESG standard documents. A live demo of the prototype based on an ESG use case will be presented.

Towards recommendations that actually help
As consumers we are used to recommender systems that give us a series of “Others also bought” or “You might also like” suggestions. In the workplace, these types of recommendations aren’t particularly useful because they often suggest more of the obvious and don’t factor in the requirements of employee queries.
What is a smart recommender system and how can it help in the digital workplace?
Employees have specific tasks; they must write a report based on new regulations, provide customer support for a product issue, and close a deal based on a prospect’s use case – to name a few. To accomplish each of these tasks, the employee must extract and assemble information that fits and complements the specific work context at hand.
Smart recommender systems in the digital workplace do not produce trivial ‘more of the same’ information, but understand to some extent how information actually fits together.
With the upcoming release of the new PoolParty Recommender, we are helping knowledge workers complete their often complex work steps more efficiently and error-free with a knowledge-based recommender system.
The PoolParty Recommender is tailored to your organization and its specific knowledge domain, making them more accurate than any approach using only machine learning.
Join our webinar to celebrate this new release with us, and dive into the details with CEO Andreas Blumauer:

What is a knowledge-based recommender system?
The PoolParty Recommender Workbench: how its methodology and technical capabilities set it apart from other recommenders on the market
Common use cases found in the workplace
Demos of the product, including how it can be used in a front-end user application

After this webinar, you will understand:

How the PoolParty Recommender overcomes the limitations of collaborative filtering and content-based algorithms
How organizations especially benefit from a domain-specific model, AKA a recommender that’s built specifically for you
How to easily integrate the PoolParty Recommender Workbench with your existing software

We hope to see you there!

Intelligent Content—Bringing Together Knowledge Graphs & Large Language ModelsLarge language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT are a hot topic. But can we trust them to give us the right answers to questions or make the right decisions? One possible answer to these challenges is to combine these generative technologies with knowledge graphs that can help explain the results and support the generation of high-quality data to train the models. Combining generative AI and symbolic AI can ultimately lead to eXplainable AI (XAI) that can help in our daily work. Nagy shares the advantages of merging both technologies, shows how knowledge graphs help to create better and explainable results with generative technologies, and also shows how generative technologies can help to create better knowledge graphs.

Generative AI, Context, & Knowledge ModelsWhen search technologies moved from the web to the enterprise, the incorporation of knowledge models (taxonomies and ontologies) provided more accurate and complete search results. Now that we are looking to bring LLMs (large language models such as ChatGPT) and generative AI from the public web to inside the enterprise, there is again a role for knowledge models to provide better results. The subject domain and context can also make a difference. The advantages of combining a taxonomy/ontology with generative AI and limiting it to a subject domain is explained and demonstrated.
