Data Science Workshop
Large Language Models (LLMs) have had a significant impact on many streams of academic research, from applications in health care to computational social science. This workshop brings together leading researchers in artificial intelligence and knowledge engineering, exploring how knowledge engineering is being reshaped by, and co-evolving with, LLMs.
Dr. Denny Vrandečić is Head of Special Projects at the Wikimedia Foundation and founder of Wikidata. He is a Visiting Professor in Informatics at King's College London, and previously worked at Google on the Google Knowledge Graph.
Prof. Dr. Marta Sabou is Professor of Information Systems and Business Engineering at the Vienna University of Economics and Business (WU) and the Head of the Institute for Data, Process and Knowledge Management (DPKM).
