What is a knowledge graph? And is it the same as an ontology? Or what is different between those two?
4:30
Yeah, so a knowledge graph is, think of it as like nodes and edges, and nodes can be entities like a document, a drawing, a tag, and there are connections between them.
4:44
And so what I've discovered that makes construction very different from other technical fields is how interconnected the data is.
4:55
Like, my background is in computer vision.
4:57
You read a computer vision paper, and it's about, like, here is the problem, here is the method, here is the algorithm, here is the results.
5:05
It's very linear in nature.
5:07
Construction is, first of all, there is the spatial dimension of where you're building it.

What is, what does prime point look like in five years?
2:01
So we kind of talked at the beginning of this, but what was sort of the impetus behind your history and how you got here today?
2:09
Okay.
2:10
So I grew up in Bulgaria at that time, a communist Bulgaria.
2:15
And soon after the fall of communism, I came to the United States as a student at Brown University.
2:23
I did my bachelor's and master's there in computer science.
2:27
Then I I came to the Bay Area, started working at Adobe for some time, Adobe research on Photoshop, Illustrator, Acrobat.
2:37
And that's where I developed the first face detector.

PrimePoint, where do you see it going? But also, if you want to get outside the lines and just tell some other folks what they might want to be working on, that's fine too.
