En un coup d’œil

  • Ontologies as formal shared conceptualizations

    Frank Coyle defines an ontology as a formal specification of a shared conceptualization and says agents should be given that conceptualization of their domain.

  • Neurosymbolic AI as LLM guardrails

    Frank Coyle argues that neurosymbolic AI can help keep probabilistic LLMs on guardrails.

  • Ontology-driven validation in agent loops

    Frank Coyle proposes using ontologies after a tool runs, formatting the returned information for a validator that operates with domain ontologies.

  • Ontologies for catching domain-specific errors

    Frank Coyle says ontologies could catch errors such as a second refund on one order or a payout sent to support instead of the buyer. He describes catching such errors in English as tricky.

ontology design for AI agents

Ontologies as formal shared conceptualizations

Extrait original

It is a, a formal specification of a shared conceptualization, and that's what we wanna give to our agents. We wanna give them our concept-- our conceptualization of the universe, our universe, our domains.
Contexte

knowledge and, uh, graph technology really represents.

agent validation workflow

Ontology-driven validation in agent loops

Extrait original

if you look down there, a-after the, the tool is called, it said, "Tool runs," this is where ontologies could come in. The tool's gonna give us information. We put the information in a form that our, our, our, our validator can use.
ontology-based business logic enforcement

Ontologies for catching domain-specific errors

Extrait original

A second refund on the same order is a, is, is a problem. [laughs] Ontologies could catch it, whereas it's ver- it's very tricky to do that in, in English. A payout sent to the support desk instead of the buyer, okay?
