Special Session on Fuzzy Logic for Knowledge Graphs
2020 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems (FUZZ-IEEE 2020)
IEEE World Congress on Computational Intelligence 2020
19 - 24th July, 2020, Glasgow, Scotland (UK)
Knowledge graphs (KGs) provide a machine brain for computers, where data are given well-defined meaning, enabling computers and people to better work in cooperation. Nowadays, knowledge graphs are playing an increasingly important role in, for example, accurate information analysis, intelligent search and recommendation, intelligent interpretation and human-computer interaction, and deep reasoning. Knowledge graph technology is the current trend and hotspot of the development and application of artificial intelligence (AI) technology and increasingly receiving more attention from academy and industry.
In the real world, human knowledge and natural language have a big deal of imprecision and vagueness. Actually, none of the usual logical requirements can be guaranteed: there is no centrally defined format for data, no guarantee of truth for assertions made, and no guarantee of consistency. While knowledge graph techniques and applications are attracting more attention, they fail to deal with ill-structured, uncertain or imprecise information encountered in the real-world knowledge. Being a crucial means of implementing machine intelligence, fuzzy logic has been applied in a large number and a wide variety of applications, with a real-world impact across a wide array of domains with human-like behavior and reasoning. Therefore, fuzzy logic can be applied to bridge the gap between human-understandable soft logic and machine-readable hard logic and play a crucial and positive role in the developments and applications of knowledge graphs. There can be no doubt that fuzzy logic will certainly reinforce knowledge graph techniques and applications.
