Keynote: Language Knowledge Graphs

Abstract:

This keynote speech will introduce the exciting present of language resources, and how they are being interlinked. Dictionaries, thesauri, tree banks, ontologies, corpora or term banks are no longer isolated resources powering disparate algorithms, but they are weaving a true language knowledge graph.  Whereas language technologies are experiencing a true revolution with the massive use of deep learning techniques, a new jump in quality and a new breed of applications can be expected once this language knowledge graph is fully available. This speech will also adventure the opportunities and risks brought by these technologies, exemplified in the legal domain (Lynx project), and vindicating the need for legal and ethical assesments before we are overrun by the power of these tools.
