Dear All,
This is to inform you that Dr. K. G. Sudhier, Assistant Professor in the Department, participated in and presented a paper at the 3rd International Conference on “Changing Landscape of Science & Technology Libraries: Enhancing Library Experiences with AI” (CLSTL-2025), organized by the Central Library, IIT Gandhinagar, during September 25–27, 2025.
He successfully presented a co-authored paper with Dr. Abhijith B. titled “A Semi-Automated Conflict Resolution Model for Cross-Domain Ontology Alignment using Open-Source LLM.” The paper proposes a novel semi-automated model for resolving semantic conflicts in cross-domain ontology alignment. By integrating the contextual and semantic capabilities of open-source LLMs (Llama 3) with the precision and reliability of human expert validation, the model addresses key limitations of purely rule-based or machine learning-based systems.
The Department congratulates Dr. K. G. Sudhier on his successful participation and presentation at the 3rd International Conference CLSTL-2025.
