Invited Speaker: Gerd Stumme
Talk: Conceptual Knowledge Processing with Formal Concept Analysis and
Ontologies
Among many other knowledge representations formalisms, Ontologies and
Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) aim at modelling "concepts". We discuss
how these two formalisms may complement from an application point of
view. In particular, we will see how FCA can be used to support Ontology
Engineering, and how ontologies can be exploited in FCA applications.
The interplay of FCA and ontologies is studied along the life cycle of
an ontology: (i) FCA can support the building of the ontology as a
learning technique. (ii) The established ontology can be analyzed and
navigated by using techniques of FCA. (iii) Last but not least, the
ontology may be used to improve an FCA application.
Biography
Gerd Stumme is Assistant Professor for Applied Computer Science at
Karlsruhe University. He has published in the fields of knowledge
acquistion and representation, conceptual information systems, and
knowledge discovery. Gerd Stumme is project manager of several EU
and bmb+f funded projects. He has organized international workshops
on knowledge processing and ontologies and was Program Co-Chair of
the 9th International Conference on Conceptual Structures. Gerd Stumme
studied Mathematics with Computer Science at Darmstadt University of
Technology, Germany. In 1994 he earned his Diploma in Mathematics.
He finished his PhD at Darmstadt University of Technology, Germany,
in 1997 with the topic "knowledge acquisition in conceptual knowledge
systems". In 1999/2000, Gerd Stumme was appointed Guest Professor at
the University of Clermont-Ferrand, France, for a three month period.
He earned the Venia Legendi for Applied Computer Science with a
habilitation thesis on ceptual knowledge discovery and processing��in June 2002, and was appointed Substitute Professor
for Machine
Learning and Knowledge Discovery at Otte-von-Guericke University
Magdeburg for the summer term 2003. His current research interests
include knowledge engineering, knowledge discovery (in particular
semantic web mining), and e-learning.
