This course focuses on the capabilities, methods and techniques of Semantic Artificial Intelligence (Semantic AI) and their applications to support Knowledge Management (KM) tasks and systems. Semantic AI denotes an emerging family of Semantic Web technologies that recently experienced large-scale uptake in the industry. The course will cover applications, methods and techniques related to Semantic AI, which include, but not limited to:

• Knowledge population from structured and unstructured data
• Large Language Models for knowledge engineering and retrieval
• Semantics for trustworthy AI
• Recent trends of Semantic AI research and applications

This course enables the participants to learn and apply Semantic AI methods and tools for knowledge management-related tasks. After successful completion of the course, students will be able to: 

• Explain the key terms and value propositions of Semantic AI for Knowledge Management.
• Understand the concepts, apply methods, and utilise tools from Semantic AI on selected tasks and applications.
• Provide insights into the recent trends in Semantic AI and its application in academic and industrial applications.

Furthermore, students will get familiar with the recent research developments in this field.
