Bo Xiong

PhD candidate @ IMPRS-IS & University of Stuttgart

I am a final-year Ph.D. candidate at the University of Stuttgart and the Intl. Max Plank Research School for Intelligent Systems (IMPRS-IS), Germany, under the guidance of Prof. Steffen Staab. During my PhD, I was funded by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie PhD Fellowship and was an associate member of the TrustAGI Lab.

I conduct research in AI and ML with a special emphasis on advancing the representation of human knowledge. In particular, I explore two core paradigms of knowledge representation:
1) Symbolic representation: Knowledge graphs, ontology, logic, web, etc.
2) Neural representation: Large language models, graph embeddings.

By bridging these two forms of representations (neuro-symbolic), I aim to develop reliable and interpretable AI systems allowing for learning, reasoning, and adapting into real domains.
