At the beginning of July I attended NeSy 2023, the 17th International Workshop on Neural-Symbolic Learning and Reasoning, held at La Certosa di Pontignano outside Siena, Italy.

While there I presented our position paper, On the Benefits of OWL-based Knowledge Graphs for Neural-Symbolic Systems, and responded to questions during one of the poster sessions. :tada:

The venue: La Certosa di Pontignano

The venue for NeSy 2023, La Certosa di Pontignano, is an ancient Carthusian monastery converted into a hotel and conference centre. The village of Pontignano is in the Tuscan hills just outside Siena.

Palio di Siena

The Piazza del Campo at the centre of the old city filled with people watching the Palio, the twice-a-year horse race around the edge of the piazza.
