News
- The first session (April 10th) is co-located with the topic announcements of the Knowledge-based System Group. We can use this session to discuss topics, but there will be no proper seminar.
- The second session (April 17th) will not take place due to the Easter break.
Contents
This seminar will be focused on recent topics in the field of Knowledge Graphs. This seminar will be organised similar to a reading group: each week, we will discuss a paper from the recent research on Knowledge Graphs. Participants are encouraged to propose papers which they would like to read. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to)
- Rule-based analysis of Knowledge Graphs
- Constraint languages for Knowledge Graphs
- LLMs in the context of Knowledge Graphs
A list of possible papers is collected in "Literature", and participants are invited to propose further papers. The paper for a session will be announced at least one week before the session. Participants are expected to read the paper prior to the session to be able to take part in the discussion.
The goal of this course is to read, analyse, and understand a given scientific paper and prepare a report as well as a presentation of the topic. Therefore additional skills like basic literature search and the acquisition of knowledge on underlying concepts will be required and trained.
There will be three informative parts:
- How to read a research paper?
- How to write a report?
- How to give an oral presentation?
Depending on the available time, we might combine the last two parts.
Examination
Participants will analyse a selected paper in the field of Knowledge Graphs and present their results in a written report and an oral presentation, which
- demonstrate an understanding of the selected paper,
- provide an overview of the selected paper, including, e.g., research question and proposed solution, positioning in the research field, or weak/strong points,
- feature in-depth explanations of (parts of) the paper, and
- demonstrate the students' ability to give an oral presentation and write a report.
Presentations will take place 17th July, 14:50, APB 3027 and must not exceed 15 minutes. Written reports (about 5 pages) are to be submitted as pdf via philipp.hanisch1@tu-dresden.de by 7th August.
At the beginning of the next semester, there is the opportunity to receive in-person feedback for the presentation and the report. Time slots for feedback are scheduled for 6th October, 2pm to 4pm. Students who would like to receive feedback book a time slot in advance (via email).
