Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are umbrella terms for a wide set of algorithms, technologies, and approaches that make software seem “smart.” Such algorithms can discern patterns in data so that when new data comes in, they can apply patterns to make conclusions about new data.
Knowledge representation and reasoning (KR) is the field of AI dedicated to representing information about the world in a form that a computer system can utilize. Knowledge Graphs are part of the KR branch of AI. They capture data as well as semantics or the meaning of data. They enable computers to reason based on the full available contextual and conceptual information.
Knowledge graphs can help with key challenges of data governance. It is becoming widely accepted that Knowledge Graphs are also excellent at guiding and focusing ML and at serving as a unifying fabric for the different AI algorithms. Leading companies who are investing in knowledge graphs include Google, Apple, Amazon, Airbnb, Bloomberg, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Thomson Reuters – and these are just a few.
In this presentation we will:
- Provide a brief history of Knowledge Graphs
- Demonstrate how they address key challenges of data governance
- Give a concise overview of AI and ML technologies
- Discuss how knowledge graphs provide a powerful platform for both integrated data governance and strategic enterprise AI/Machine Learning
- Showcase specific real-world examples of how knowledge graphs support rules and learning that add new knowledge that can support further learning in a virtuous cycle
