International Workshop

Scaling Knowledge Graphs for Industry (SKGI)

LLMs meet KGs (Half-day)

Co-located with 21th International Conference on Semantic Systems (SEMANTICS) - Vienna, September 03, 2025

The 2nd International Workshop on Scaling Knowledge Graphs for Industry (SKGI) (half-day) will explore the convergence of Knowledge Graphs (KGs) and Large Language Models (LLMs), with a focus on building scalable, robust and trustworthy AI systems for real-world industrial settings. While Knowledge Graphs have long been foundational in semantic technologies, their integration with neural systems, such as LLMs, presents new challenges and opportunities—from data ingestion and dynamic graph construction to retrieval-augmented generation (Graph-RAG), hybrid reasoning, and human-centred interfaces.

This second edition expands the scope to explicitly include Large Language Models (LLMs) and their intersection with Knowledge Graphs. This reflects the increasing demand in industry for hybrid symbolic-neural systems that combine the robustness and structure of KGs with the flexibility and generative power of foundation models.

Talk: Building GenAI-Powered Knowledge Graphs for Real-World Impact

This session highlights how Generative AI and Knowledge Graphs are being applied to real-world challenges across industries. Through selected use cases, we’ll showcase the business value these technologies can deliver—from enhanced decision-making to smarter data access.

We’ll also provide a high-level perspective on common challenges and strategic approaches, drawing from hands-on experience in the field. While not offering complete solutions, this session is designed to spark ideas, share lessons learned, and inspire new applications in both industry and research.
