Learning outcomes
The course’s purpose is to provide the fundamental concepts of knowledge representation both respect to the abstract problem of defining a domain ontology and to the problem of indexing documental domains. Specifically, both logical techniques and machine learning techniques for classification and analysis of documents. At the end of the course the student shall have acquired knowledge bunches on knowledge representation and its applications, and also shall be comfortable with the technical aspects of statistical natural language processing, understanding and connecting both aforementioned aspects while relating them to document repositories, especially the world wide web. These bunches of knowledge shall habilitate the student in: i) building formal ontologies; ii) managing ontology alignement; iii) managing document retrieval with indices based on text content; iv) using formal methods for text analysis while combining these with automated reasoning techniques. At the end of the course the student will be able to: i) presenting a conceptual semantic analysis, describing the process that leads a domain expert to the delivery of information needed by the knowledge engineer to deliver a formal ontology describing the interest domain; ii) going further, potentially autonomously, study and research in the field of semantic technologies in several different application fields.

Examination Methods
The exam is formed by one homework on one of the topics of the course, and possibly in an integrative oral exam. Goal of the homework is to check the learning level of knowledge representation and methods for natural language processing, in the practice of a complex problem. The student can be focusing on one of the two specific themes, and thus we shall agree on an oral integration, on the theme less employed in the homework. The homework shall document the development of a computer program in a language the student is fluent on, implementing solutions based open KR or NLP methods.
Type D and Type F activities
Le attività formative di tipologia D o F comprendono gli insegnamenti impartiti presso l'Università di Verona o periodi di stage/tirocinio professionale.
Nella scelta delle attività di tipo D, gli studenti dovranno tener presente che in sede di approvazione si terrà conto della coerenza delle loro scelte con il progetto formativo del loro piano di studio e dell'adeguatezza delle motivazioni eventualmente fornite. Dal 1° dicembre 2021 al 27 febbraio 2022 e dal 2 maggio 2022 al 15 luglio 2022, tramite il presente modulo gli studenti possono richiedere l'inserimento di attività didattiche in TAF D ed F che non possono inserire autonomamente nel proprio piano di studi tramite la procedura on-line.
COMPETENZE LINGUISTICHE - dal 1° ottobre 2021 (Delibera del Consiglio della Scuola di Scienze e Ingegneria del 30 marzo 2021) per gli immatricolati dall'A.A. 2021/2022
- Lingua inglese: vengono riconosciuti automaticamente 3 CFU per ogni livello di competenza superiore a quello richiesto dal corso di studio (se non già riconosciuto nel ciclo di studi precedente).
- Altre lingue e italiano per stranieri: vengono riconosciuti automaticamente 3 CFU per ogni livello di competenza a partire da A2 (se non già riconosciuto nel ciclo di studi precedente).
Ulteriori crediti a scelta per conoscenze linguistiche potranno essere riconosciuti solo se coerenti con il progetto formativo dello studente e se adeguatamente motivati.
