Title: Knowledge Graphs: Theory, Applications and Challenges

Abstract:
Knowledge Graphs have rapidly become a mainstream technology that combines
features of databases and AI. In this talk I will introduce Knowledge
Graphs, explaining their features and the theory behind them. I will then
consider some of the challenges inherent in both the theory and
implementation of Knowledge Graphs and present some solutions that have
made possible the development of popular language standards and robust and
high-performance Knowledge Graph systems. Finally, I will illustrate the
wide applicability of knowledge graph technology with example use cases
including configuration management, fraud detection, semantic search &
browse, and data wrangling.

Title: Research at the Service of Free Knowledge

Abstract:
With roughly 20 billion monthly pageviews, 15 million monthly edits, and
almost 55 million articles across 300+ languages, Wikipedia has become a
canonical part of the Free Knowledge ecosystem: enabling people to have
access to knowledge and empowering them to participate in the discourse of
gathering and sharing the sum of all human knowledge. By 2030, the
Wikimedia projects, which include Wikipedia, aspire to break down the
social, political, and technical barriers preventing people from accessing
and contributing to free knowledge. In this presentation, I will talk about
research in this direction. In particular, I will present our approach and
research on identifying, measuring, and bridging Wikipedia's knowledge
gaps. I will share some of our success stories, as well as a few of the
biggest challenges we face today. I close by sharing some of the open
research questions and directions.
