Re: welcome new members and AI map

 if people think this is good enough


It is as bad as I can imagine.
The symbolic and sub-symbolic parts are filled with non-sense, and lack all
the relevant parts.


I tend to agree. Even worse, the diagram conflates technology and
applications -- and this is to be expected from a diagram designed for
promoting *a particular platform*. However, what *does* make sense are the
x and y axes (except for the tri-partition, as traditionally, neural ML
would be considered subsymbolic), but they need to be re-populated from
scratch ;) So there is something to take away from the article.

What can we expect from a "tech investor and AI technologist" writing on
Forbes?
I don't even believe that the proposed tri-partition is a useful one.


As for the second aspect of this thread: Thanks for the welcome, and I'd
like to introduce myself briefly:

Christian Chiarcos, Professor for Applied Computational Linguistics at
Goethe-Universität Frankfurt, Germany, mostly working on NLP (and using all
kinds of ML approaches in this context), with three specializations: (a) in
natural language semantics, (b) in knowledge/data representation,
integration and linking, and (c) applications of either in concrete use
cases, e.g., in Digital Humanities. Both (a) and (b) are classical AI
topics, but the facet I'm probably most widely known for is to work in the
context of Linguistic Linked Open Data (LLOD, http://linguistic-lod.org).

Best,
Christian
