Talk #1: Graph-Powered Machine Learning
Speaker: Dr. Alessandro Negro

Abstract:
Graph-based machine learning is becoming an important trend in Artificial Intelligence, transcending other techniques and technologies. Using graphs as a basic representation of data for ML purposes has several advantages: (i) the data is already modeled for further analysis, explicitly representing connections and relationships between “things” and concepts; (ii) graphs can easily combine multiple sources into a single graph representation and iteratively enhance/learn over them, creating Knowledge Graphs; (iii) improving computation performance and quality. The talk will discuss these advantages and present applications in the context of recommendation engines and natural language processing.

Dr. Alessandro Negro (https://twitter.com/alessandronegro?lang=en) is Chief Scientist at GraphAware. He has been a long-time member of the graph community and is the main author of the original Neo4j-based recommendation engine. At GraphAware, Alessandro specializes in recommendation engines, graph-aided search, and NLP.

Talk #2: 7Vortex: Systemic Knowledge Representation, Visualisation and Transfer
Speakers: Hugo Araujo and Jose Alcocer

Abstract
Understanding the complexities and interconnectedness of our rapidly changing environments is fundamental to capturing and generating transcendental value. 7Vortex is a collaborative platform designed to transfer knowledge in a systemic, multidisciplinary and dynamic way. Built upon Neo4j, 7Vortex has been designed following the principles of biological patterns, evolutionary strategies and ecosystems dynamics in order to enable collective flows of knowledge that are naturally connected. In this talk, the 7Vortex team will show some use cases from their growing community of systemic thinkers.
