Typically, system designers make an architectural choice between
formal (rigid) inference like you get from OWL or N3, and the
heuristic cleverness of machine learning. There's nothing saying you
can't have a hybrid system which e.g. uses SemWeb for entity
recognition (à la NCBO annotator) or records ML assertions in RDF for
further rule execution. That requires people to have expertise and
commitment in both camps and so far, those folks haven't banded
together with a set of shared use cases and goals. If you can muster
the troops (an army of five, to be exact), you can easily create a W3C
Community Group (see [CREATE A COMMUNITY GROUP] at
<https://www.w3.org/community/groups/>).

Nothing I know of, but I'm not familiar with the domain.

The tutorial seemed to be about a template language for natural
language interfaces while the overview seemed to go more into the
actual processing logic. Do you know if AIML captures AI logic and
what use cases would motivate favoring such a standard for Semantic
Web work?
