I was very excited (as folks could tell) and honored about having given the keynote at @iswc_conf this year in Nara, Japan. Thanks everyone for their very kind reception of the talk! Thanks for inviting me!
I was talking about Wikipedia and the Semantic Web - 20 years of co-development and the future, sketching out how the two have and keep influencing each other.
The presentation will be online on Video Lectures in the next few weeks.
We had a blast at #ISWC2025 – plenty of great insights and amazing people. We also brought a contribution of our own!
📝 Our CTO Piotr Sowiński presented a poster on Jelly-Patch – a super-fast format for recording changes in RDF datasets. It's one of the crucial pieces for our upcoming streaming neurosymbolic AI platform. Poster and paper linked in a comment below.
In her keynote at #ISWC2025, Yuko Harayama, Secretary General of Global Partnership on AI Tokyo Expert Support Center, is discussing the challenges of #AI on Human Society, suggesting a shift from originally tech-driven to human-centered paradigm, addressing key questions related to #ethics, #law, #economy, #society, #education, and R&D
