Webinar: Perceptual Learning and Rational Learning: Situating Knowledge Organization in the age of AI (SIG-CMR)

Description

Knowledge organization systems (KOS) traditionally are developed for representing knowledge in publications for information discovery and retrieval. Advances in semantic technologies since the beginning of 21st century and the emergent AI technologies have brought great shocks to KOS as well as KO research. Are KOS still needed and useful as information search is being replaced by AI-driven conversational style search? Where does KO research is situated in the wave of AI? What vision can we offer for KO as a research field in the years to come? This presentation will first set a context of perceptual learning and rational learning for a discussion of the KO paradigms, which will then be connected to the knowledge representation paradigms in AI. Through examples of KOS-facilitated AI/ML applications, this talk will try to address these questions.
