Overview

In recent years, Knowledge Graphs (KG) and Large Language Models (LLMs) have emerged as powerful tools for scientific research and knowledge discovery. This tutorial aims to provide attendees with an understanding of how these technologies can be integrated and applied to advance research in life sciences and other scientific domains. Over three hours, participants will explore the foundational concepts of KGs and LLMs, their applications in life sciences, and practical examples demonstrating their integration for BioNLP tasks. The tutorial will include materials demonstrating KG construction and LLM development for scientific data interpretation, and emphasizing practical techniques for incorporating domain-specific knowledge into AI models. By the end of this tutorial, participants will have a comprehensive understanding of the synergy between KGs and LLMs and how to leverage these tools for innovative scientific solutions.
