Yes or no, "it's just semantics", right? Yet semantics, collections of choices in interpreting meaning, are actually at the core of what we value. In cognitive computing as in natural intelligence, we're called upon daily to reconcile new stories and facts in terms of concepts we already know. When different ways of modeling concepts come together, we have ontology alignment issues. Learn how critical inflection points across business, artificial intelligence, psychology, and society are actually ontology alignment issues in disguise, the risks around mishandling alignment, and techniques for keeping meaning meaningful.\nIn this session you will: \nLearn to identify where ontologies exist, whether explicitly or implicitly\nFind out how ontology alignment issues cut across both emerging cognitive technologies and historical cognitive patterns\nSee which architectures of systems are more vulnerable to ontology rot, and find out the consequences of ontology fragmentation, ontological stagnation, and ontology misalignment\nIdentify opportunities for ontology refactoring and ontology alignment, and ways to execute effectively\nLearn why getting ontology alignment right is a long-term existential imperative
