Invitation to Kick-Off Event of Joint Artificial Intelligence Institute (JAII), 15th of September, 10 - 12 CEST

Dear Semantic Web Community,

   the universities of Bielefeld and Paderborn have founded the Joint 
Artificial Intelligence Institute (JAII) [1].

We would like to invite you to the kick-off event that will take place 
on September 15th from 10-12 CEST.

The kick-off event will feature an invited talk by Prof. Frank van 
Harmelen (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam) with the title "How to build AI 
systems that both learn and reason?". The abstract for the talk is below.

You can register for the event here:

We look forward to seeing you at the kick-off event.

Best regards,

Philipp Cimiano, Axel Ngonga and Barbara Hammer (Directors of the Joint 
Artificial Intelligence Center)

Abstract: Truly intelligent systems will have to both learn from 
experience and reason with acquired knowledge. Progress in the two 
fields of knowledge representation and machine learning has lead to an 
explosion of publications on how to build hybrid, "neuro-symbolic" 
systems that combine the techniques from this hitherto separate fields, 
with hundreds of new proposals appearing in the literature in recent 
years. In this talk I will describe a modular approach to such 
neuro-symbolic systems that allows us to re-interpret and systematize 
this rapidly growing literature on "3rd wave AI" system.
