In recent years there has been a proliferation of free and commercial "knowledge graphs" (KGs), which represent real-world entities together with their semantic relationships in a graphical form. Those are becoming a powerful asset both for tech giants, as well as for startups and researchers that are focusing on AI applications (semantic search, data analytics, recommender systems, etc.). The talk will introduce the largest KGs publicly available on the Web such as Wikidata, Freebase, YAGO and DBpedia, providing an overview of the many knowledge-based applications that can be enabled from them.
