Knowledge Graphs ++

Speaker: Doug Lenat

Abstract

While powerful, Knowledge Graphs are a technological local maximum. I'll recount some of the experiences that forced us (the Cyc development team), kicking and screaming, to make the leap from that to other representation and reasoning "hills" such as first and second and higher order logic, and how we coped with the inevitable lost efficiency. In the end, it's probably most useful to think of KG and its alternatives as though they were tools in a toolbox: it's painful to contemplate building a house without using a saw, or using only a saw.
