Check out this white paper on The Seven Cases for Knowledge Graph Integration in a RAG Architecture written by Andreas Blumauer, CEO of Semantic Web Company (SWC). The paper highlights how businesses are adopting RAG architectures with LLMs to tackle complex information management challenges. Learn how combining symbolic AI, like knowledge models and graphs, with GenAI can enhance RAG systems with domain knowledge for superior performance. #KnowledgeGraph #GenerativeAI #LLM #SemanticWeb #RAGArchitecture https://lnkd.in/dq4YcTgE

A year ago, Denny Vrandečić of the Wikimedia Foundation, one of the key people behind Wikidata, made some telling remarks about when not to use LLMs during a keynote at the The Knowledge Graph Conference: “Why would you ever use a 96 layer LLM with 175 billion parameters to generate a multiplication, which is a single operation with a CPU? Just because an LLM can do these kinds of things doesn’t mean they should be. Why should you be generating knowledge again and again when you can just look it up in a confident way?…. It’s just not very efficient.” What's happened in the past year since Vrandečić made this observation? Platform providers such as Fluree are making it possible to harness the power of LLMs and knowledge graphs together in ways that allow more accuracy, efficiency and security. https://t.ly/MyPQ8

Excited to announce the Amazon Web Services (AWS)-The Knowledge Graph Conference GraphRAG Workshop event on Thursday, July 11 complimenting the #AWSSummit New York next week! Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) applications use generative AI to analyze private datasets that have been vectorized by AI/ML embedding models. But baseline RAG can sometime produce poor responses that lack explainability and issues that include conflated sources, spurious claims, and lack of contextual awareness. GraphRAG combines knowledge graphs with RAG to produce explainable responses that are grounded in the semantic relationships between concepts, entities, and the underlying content. In this builders’ session, get hands-on experience with Amazon Neptune, graph notebooks, and LlamaIndex, an open source framework for building RAG applications. You must bring your laptop to participate. Limited spots available! Link to sign up in comments below. #generativeai

Earlier this week, we gave you a sneak peek of our latest Knowledge Espresso and today we'd like you to save the date for The True Value of Semantics: A Conversation Continued with Nimit Mehta! Register to join us next Wednesday to watch our latest Knowledge Espresso followed by a live Q&A. Instructions will be sent to all registered attendees. #kgc2024 hashtag#kgc2024replay hashtag#knowledgegraphs hashtag#generativeai hashtag#ai hashtag#knowledgeespresso

KGC 2024 may be over but Generative AI continues to pop in conversations across every industry so we’re excited to continue the conversation with Nimit Mehta, CEO of TopQuadrant who shared his insights at auditorium session Stop Selling Religion, Start Selling Value - The True Value of Semantics in Enterprise Architecture and GenAI.   Watch our LinkedIn page for a complimentary link to the original presentation followed by an event announcement that will feature a link to the KGC Knowledge Espresso (pre-recorded vodcast) The True Value of Semantics: A Conversation Continued with Nimit Mehta and how to join a live Q&A session with Nimit himself! . . . #kgc2024 #kgc2024replay #knowledgegraphs #generativeai #ai #knowledgeespresso

▶ 📺 Now on #KGCYouTube! ▶ 📺 You can watch the full KEYNOTE presentation by the distinguished Pierre Lévy on ‘Language and Knowledge Representation’ from #KGC2024. It’s available on the KGC YouTube channel. Pierre Lévy is a Fellow of The Royal Society of Canada | La Société royale du Canada and a Research Associate at the Université de Montréal. He has published several books on the impact of information technology on society, which have been translated into a dozen languages. Notably, in 1994, he authored the first book on collective intelligence based on digital media. Additionally, Pierre is the inventor of the #IEML language, which proposes a calculable coding of meaning. Beyond academia, he serves as the CEO of Intlekt Metadata, a company specializing in ontology design. Keynote Abstract: What does it mean, exactly, to understand and to know? A comparison of cognitive processes in humans and animals will highlight the essential role of symbolism and language in human intelligence. This scientific and philosophical insight will clarify the respective functions of generative models and knowledge graphs in contemporary knowledge management. ▶ 📺 Watch the keynote ➡ https://lnkd.in/en8-qBdf.
