Join the talk of Giancarlo Guizzardi on “Semantic Models for Trustworthy Systems: A Hybrid Intelligence Augmentation Program”. The Public Lecture will take place at lecture hall 14A Günther Feuerstein, access to the lecture hall is barrier-free.

Abstract

Cyber-human systems are formed by the coordinated interaction of human and computational components. In this talk, I will argue that these systems can only be designed as trustworthy systems if the interoperation between their components is meaning preserving. For that, we need to take the challenge of semantic interoperability between these components very seriously. I will discuss a notion of trustworthy semantic models and defend its essential role in addressing this challenge. Finally, I will advocate that engineering and evolving these semantic models as well as the languages in which they are produced require a hybrid intelligence augmentation program resting on a combination of techniques including formal ontology, logical representation and reasoning, crowd-sourced validation, and automated approaches to mining and learning.

About Giancarlo Guizzardi

Before joining the University of Twente, Giancarlo Guizzardi was a Full Professor at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano in the Italian Alps, where he led the Conceptual and Cognitive Modelling Research Group (CORE). Prior to that, he co-founded and co-directed the Ontology and Conceptual Modelling Research Group (NEMO) in Brazil for 10 years.

He is highly active in the fields of Formal and Applied Ontology, Conceptual Modelling, Information Systems Engineering, and Enterprise Computing/Business Informatics. His research follows a multidisciplinary approach, combining insights from Philosophy, Logics, Linguistics, and Cognitive Science to address problems in these areas.
