Text To Intelligence – The Future Of Knowledge Graphs

Find out more on our website: https://bit.ly/3sKJTLS An emerging topic within the A.I domain is the subject of Enterprise Knowledge Graphs. The use of Semantic graphs is a long-standing theme within computational systems, stretching back to the 1960’s. However, the construction of semantic or knowledge graphs was a manual and time-consuming process. Two converging technological developments have transformed the process of creating knowledge graphs and offer the possibility to automate their creation and application. Since 2000 the field of Network Dynamics has formed a solid foundation for applied graph theory and analytics. Combined with the recent developments in advanced natural language processing (NLP), and Deep Learning, we now have the means to translate large volumes of raw text into knowledge graphs with strong semantic structure. This emerging capability is opening new commercial opportunities for Enterprise Knowledge graphs (EKG) and associated applications. This presentation will cover some of the EKG applications in development within BT Laboratories.
