Semantic systems encompass a variety of technologies that play a fundamental role in our daily lives, such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, knowledge graphs and ontology engineering, and enterprise vocabulary management.
This book presents the proceedings of SEMANTiCS 2024, the 20th International Conference on Semantic Systems, held from 17 to 19 September 2024 in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The conference has become recognized as important international event providing a regular opportunity for professionals and researchers actively engaged in harnessing the power of semantic computing and artificial intelligence to gather and discuss the possibilities and practical limitations of various transformative technologies. These include semantic web and artificial intelligence, as well as areas such as data science, machine learning, logic programming, content engineering, social computing, natural language processing, digital humanities, and many more. A total of 95 submissions were received for the conference. These were subjected to a double-anonymous peer review process, with a minimum of 3 independent reviews for each submission, after which 26 papers were accepted for presentation and publication, representing an acceptance rate of 27%. The papers are divided into 6 sections: knowledge engineering with large language models; embeddings and machine learning on knowledge graphs; ontologies and knowledge graphs; linked data management; question answering and querying systems; and digital humanities and cultural heritage.
Providing an overview of emerging trends and themes within the vast field of semantic computing and artificial intelligence, the book will be of interest to all those working in the field.
