ZD_5_06 — Knowledge Representation: Ontologies, Semantic Web, and Knowledge Graphs
Knowledge representation (KR) is the field of artificial intelligence concerned with how to formally encode information about the world — facts, relationships, concepts, rules, and constraints — in formats that computer
ZD_4_17 — Digital Twin Technology
A digital twin is a virtual representation of a physical object, process, or system that is continuously updated with real-time data from its physical counterpart through sensors and IoT connectivity, enabling simulation
ZD_2_03 — Natural Language Processing
Natural language processing (NLP) — the computational analysis, understanding, and generation of human language — spans rule-based, statistical, and neural approaches across tasks including machine translation, text clas
ZD_2_17 — AI Alignment & Existential Risk
AI alignment — the challenge of ensuring artificial intelligence systems pursue goals consistent with human values and intentions — has emerged as one of the defining technical and philosophical problems of the 21st cent
