• Title: An ontology for the formalization and visualization of scientific knowledge
• Authors: Vincenzo Daponte and Gilles Falquet
• Abstract summary: We present the first version built from ontological sources (ontologies of knowledge objects of certain fields, lexical and higher level ones), specialized knowledge bases and interviews with scientists. The validation consists in using it to formalize knowledge from various sources, which we have begun to do in the field of physics.

• Abstract: The construction of an ontology of scientific knowledge objects, presented here, is part of the development of an approach oriented towards the visualization of scientific knowledge. It is motivated by the fact that the concepts of organization of scientific knowledge (theorem, law, experience, proof, etc.) appear in existing ontologies but that none of them is centered on this topic and presents a simple and easily usable organization. We present the first version built from ontological sources (ontologies of knowledge objects of certain fields, lexical and higher level ones), specialized knowledge bases and interviews with scientists. We have aligned this ontology with some of the sources used, which has allowed us to verify its consistency with respect to them. The validation of the ontology consists in using it to formalize knowledge from various sources, which we have begun to do in the field of physics.

• Quantum ontology de-naturalized: What we can't learn from quantum mechanics [0.0]
  Philosophers of science commonly connect ontology and science, stating that these disciplines maintain a two-way relationship. We will critically examine the process of naturalizing ontology, i.e., confining the work of ontologists merely to the task of pointing out which entities certain theories commit themselves to.

  We show how large language models can perform scientific synthesis, inference, and explanation. We show that the large language model can augment this "knowledge" by synthesizing from the scientific literature. This approach has the further advantage that the large language model can explain the machine learning system's predictions.

  Ontological knowledge comprises classes and properties and their relationships. It is significant to explore whether Pretrained Language Models (PLMs) know and understand such knowledge. Our results show that PLMs can memorize certain ontological knowledge and utilize implicit knowledge in reasoning.

  We view scientific discovery as an interplay between $thinking out of the box$ that actively seeks insightful solutions. We propose Mindle, a semantic searching game that triggers scientific-discovery-like thinking spontaneously. On this basis, the meta-strategies for insights and the usage of concepts can be investigated reciprocally.

  KnowledgeShovel is an Al-in-the-Loop document annotation system for researchers to construct scientific knowledge bases. The design of KnowledgeShovel introduces a multi-step multi-modalAI collaboration pipeline to improve data accuracy while reducing the human burden. A follow-up user evaluation with 7 geoscience researchers shows that KnowledgeShovel can enable efficient construction of scientific knowledge bases with satisfactory accuracy.
