 s talk, we will cover a wide variety
  of Knowledge Management aspects, us
 ing the latest advances in Artificia
 l Intelligence. Those aspects includ
 e the representation of data in the 
 form of knowledge graphs (KGs) using
  ontologies, the integration of data
  originating from disparate sources,
  as well as the enrichment of relati
 onal data with the use of external K
 Gs, in order to serve more questions
 . A large part of the talk will be d
 evoted to providing natural language
  interfaces to data, exploiting the 
 rich semantics offered by KGs. Apart
  from a theoretical approach, the ta
 lk will also cover real applications
  of those methodologies in industria
 l products.\n About the speaker\n Va
 silis Efthymiou is a postdoctoral re
 searcher at Information Systems Labo
 ratory of FORTH-ICS, leading a proje
 ct on responsible entity resolution,
  and a visiting lecturer at the Comp
 uter Science Department of Universit
 y of Crete, teaching advanced databa
 se topics, information systems, as w
 ell as knowledge representation and 
 reasoning. Before joining FORTH, he 
 was a postdoctoral researcher at the
  database group of IBM Research in A
 lmaden Research Center, CA, USA, wor
 king on data management and AI, for 
 providing natural language interface
 s to data. He received his PhD from 
 the Computer Science Department of U
 niversity of Crete for research on e
 ntity resolution in the Web of Data.
  After his research internship at IB
 M T.J. Watson Research Center, NY, U
 SA, on matching Web tables to Knowle
 dge Graphs, he has joined forces wit
 h researchers from IBM Research, Oxf
 ord University and City University o
 f London to co-organize the SemTab c
 hallenges: an effort to benchmark sy
 stems dealing with the tabular data 
 to KG matching problem, so as to fac
 ilitate their comparison on the same
  basis and the reproducibility of th
 e results. He has co-authored two bo
 oks, more than 40 peer-reviewed pape
 rs, and co-invented four US patents.
  He will be the co-chair of VLDB 202
 3 PhD Workshop and of ESWC 2023 Post
 ers & Demos.\n
