Classics & AI

Echoes of the Past, Engines of the Future

ABSTRACT

This hands-on introductory workshop will introduce students to knowledge graphs, focusing on their practical application in knowledge representation. Specifically, the session will center on extracting and structuring information from Ancient Greek summaries of Classical tragedies.

The workshop consists of two parts:

  • Theoretical Foundations
  • Practical Application

This hands-on approach will provide participants with both a conceptual understanding and practical experience in knowledge graph creation.

PROGRAM & TRAINING PARTS

10.00-11.30 Part 1

11.30-12.00 Break

Theoretical Foundations

Students will be introduced to the foundational concepts of knowledge graphs, their significance, Symbolic AI, ontologies, standards and their practical implications. This segment will also include a demonstration of the KGE (Knowledge Graph Editor) tool, showcasing how it can be used to represent such ancient text.

12.00-13.30 Part 2

Practical Application

Students will work in groups to construct knowledge graphs using the KGE. Each team will model selected summaries of Ancient Greek tragedies, identifying key entities and their relationships. The session will conclude with brief presentations of the generated graphs, followed by feedback and discussion. The session will conclude with a discussion of the Large Language Models products created from the data of the ancient summaries under evaluation.
