Bio:<\/strong> <\/span>Johannes\n Hoffart is the CTO of the AI Unit at SAP, leading a group of technology experts and scientists driving the research and development of business foundation models and knowledge graphs on SAP’s structured data. Before joining SAP in\n 2021, Johannes has led an AI research group on NLP and Knowledge Graphs at Goldman Sachs and co-founded a spin-off from the Max Planck Institute for Informatics with the goal of enabling businesses to tap into their knowledge hidden\n in text.<\/p>\n

Talk: <\/strong>Expectations towards AI in business applications and processes are higher than ever. The key ingredients of data, compute and attention seem to be available in abundance, so why do we not see Business AI\n taking off more quickly? There are still many hurdles to infuse AI capabilities into daily usage at scale, most significantly the lack of domain knowledge to quickly realize new use cases and the ability to generalize across different\n domains. This presentation will give an idea on how to address both issues: Tapping into linked business data for agentic usage as well as training foundation models with inherent understanding of business domains and their data.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
