Sessions in which Francisco Berrizbeitia participates

I'd like to kick off a conversation on neuro-symbolic AI by sharing a personal project. In it, I build a knowledge graph using thesis metadata available as open data from the institutional repository. One of the questions it helps answer is: who has supervised theses on various topics of interest? This will be a show-and-tell session, and I hope it sparks a dialogue around symbolic AI and its potential applications at Concordia.
