Abstract:

Knowledge Graph is important to realize cognitive intelligence as it
provides support of explainable knowledge representation and reasoning.
Recently, there is an increasing interest in constructing a knowledge
graph from multi-modal data, such as text, image and video. In this talk,
I will first introduce background of multi-modal knowledge graphs, I will
then introduce Richpedia, an open multi-modal knowledge graph, especially
construction methods for Richpedia, and also introduce our recent work on
knowledge representation learning in multi-modal knowledge graphs.
Finally, I will conclude this talk by briefly discussing applications of
multi-modal knowledge graphs.
