The second webinar in the ARTEMIS Talks series which addressed the use of artificial intelligence and ontologies by Reactive Digital Heritage Twins (RDHTs) attracted over 700 viewers on Zoom and YouTube on the 3rd July.
Achille Felicetti started with the concept of RDHTs and how knowledge of events recorded as digital memories are used by them. Much of this knowledge comes from texts which can be captured using ontologies. AI can be trained to use these ontologies and make the links between the different events and objects they describe.
Next, Miriana Somenzi explained that much real-world data exists as unstructured text and web-scraping tools such as Selenium can be used to extract data from dynamic web pages. Manual annotation is time-consuming but AI is very efficient and can produce output which is used to create knowledge graphs.
The last presenter was Aida Himmiche who explained how RDHTs use the knowledge graphs (and other external data) to perform tasks such as predicting and reacting to events and performing simulations. She presented the technologies that enable end users can use Natural Language to query the knowledge graphs and examples featuring coins minted in Famagusta and a similarity comparison, finishing with a summary of the future work being undertaken in ARTEMIS.
The final few minutes were devoted to answering questions submitted to the host, Claudio Prandoni.
The 2nd webinar can be viewed on the ARTEMIS Twin YouTube (Live) channel along with the other webinar and project videos. The ARTEMIS Talks series will resume after the summer break.
