Schedule

KeyNote1: Integrating Knowledge Graph with Large Language Model: From the Perspective of Knowledge Engineering

   Prof. Guilin Qi

   Southeast University

Dr. Guilin Qi is a professor working at Southeast University in China. He is the head of the Knowledge Science and Engineering Lab and the director of institute of cognitive science at Southeast University. He is one of the Editor-in-Chiefs of Data Intelligence and an associate editor of Journal of Web Semantics. He received his PhD in Computer Science from Queen's University of Belfast in 2006 and has worked in the Institute AIFB at University of Karlsruhe for three years. His research interests include knowledge representation and reasoning, knowledge graph, natural language processing, and semantic web. He has published over 200 papers in these areas, many of which published in proceedings of major conferences or journals. He has published a book on knowledge management for the Semantic Web in 2015 and a book on Knowledge Graph in 2019. He is one of the founders of OpenKG, a Chinese community for open knowledge graph and has lead the project RichPedia, which results in a large-scale open multi-modal knowledge graph. He has won the best-short paper runner-up award in CIKM 2017, and has a paper won the best-student paper award in ICTAI 2015.

KeyNote2: Industry-level Knowledge Graph Platform for Large-scale, Diverse and Dynamic Scenarios

   Prof. Haofen Wang

   Tongji University

Dr. Haofen Wang is a Distinguished Researcher and Ph.D. supervisor under the "100 People Plan" at Tongji University. He is one of the initiators of OpenKG, the world's largest alliance for Chinese open knowledge graphs. He has participated in and led several national-level AI-related projects, published over 100 high-level papers in the AI field with more than 3,900 citations and an H-index of 29. He developed the world's first interactive virtual idol—"Amber Xuyan." Additionally, the intelligent customer service robots he built have served over 1 billion users. Currently, he holds several social positions including Vice Chairman of the Terminology Committee of the Chinese Computer Federation (CCF), Secretary-General of the Natural Language Processing Society, Director of the Chinese Information Society of China, Executive Committee member of the Large Model Committee, Deputy Secretary-General of the Language and Knowledge Computing Committee, and Deputy Director of the Natural Language Processing Committee of the Shanghai Computer Society.

KeyNote3: Knowledge Graph-Based Large Language Model Finetuning and Its Applications

   Prof. Wei Hu

   Nanjing University

Dr. Wei Hu is a full professor in the School of Computer Science at Nanjing University. His main research areas include knowledge graph, data integration, and intelligent software. He has conducted visiting research at VU University Amsterdam, Stanford University, and University of Toronto. He has published over 50 papers in top-tier conferences and journals, such as SIGMOD, VLDB, ICDE, WWW, SIGIR, ICML, NeurIPS, AAAI, IJCAI, ACL, EMNLP, NAACL, ICSE, TKDE, VLDBJ, TSE, and TNNLS. He has received the Best Paper Awards at JIST, CCKS, and CHIP, and the Best Paper Nomination at ISWC.

Industry Talk: Integrating GenAI with Graph: Innovations and Insights from NebulaGraph

   Siwei Gu

   NebulaGraph

Siwei Gu leads the GenAI initiatives at Vesoft Inc., serving as a NebulaGraph committer. Notably, he was the first to introduce the concept of Graph RAG (in LlamaIndex), where the Graph structured data in RAG/GenAI was initially explored. Recognized as a Microsoft MVP for his expertise in Python and AI, he is also a passionate blogger, podcaster, and advocate for open-source software. Join him at the VLDB workshop to explore cutting-edge developments in graph databases.

   Yihang Yu

   NebulaGraph

Yihang Yu is an Algorithm Engineer within the GenAI Team at Vesoft Inc., where he specializes in developing exciting LLM applications using NebulaGraph. Known for his broad interests and insatiable curiosity, Yihang blends innovative thinking with technical expertise to push the boundaries of what's possible in graph AI. A lifelong learner, he is committed to exploring and implementing advanced algorithms that transform data interactions.
