The rapid growth in scientific publications makes it increasingly difficult for researchers to stay up-to-date with the latest findings. Much of the valuable information—such as methods, datasets, and results—remains embedded in unstructured text, which limits its accessibility. In this presentation, we explore how large language models (LLMs) and knowledge graphs can work together to extract key scientific insights and connect research across different fields. We will also discuss how AI-driven recommendation systems, using these technologies, can help researchers find more relevant and transparent recommendations, making the research discovery process more efficient.
Since April 2024, Michael Färber has been a Full Professor and head of the Scalable Software Architectures for Data Analytics group at the AI Center ScaDS.AI, TU Dresden. Previously, he served as a Deputy Full Professor for Web Science at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) from 2020 to 2024. His research focuses on AI, with specializations in large language models (LLMs), graph neural networks (GNNs), and knowledge graphs (KGs), as well as neurosymbolic and explainable AI. Michael has authored over 100 peer-reviewed publications in conferences such as ACL, CIKM, EMNLP, ISWC, and NAACL.
