Workshop 4: The 1st International Workshop on DIKWP-ChatGPT/GPT(DIKWP/GPT 2023)

Purpose refers to the reason or intention behind something, or the motivation or aim that drives a person or organization towards a particular goal or objective. Purpose is the sense of direction and meaning that gives significance to a person’s actions and decisions. DIKWP stands for Purpose-driven Data-Information-Knowledge-Wisdom, and it’s an extension of the original DIKW model that emphasizes the importance of purpose and context in the process of converting data into useful knowledge and wisdom. Data refers to any set of values or facts that can be recorded, stored, and used for analysis, processing, or communication. Information is a collection of data or knowledge that is organized and communicated in a meaningful way. Knowledge is the understanding and awareness of information, concepts, ideas, or skills acquired through learning, experience, or education.Wisdom is the ability to use knowledge, experience, and good judgment to make sound decisions and judgments.The DIKW+Purpose framework recognizes that knowledge creation and management is not just about collecting and analyzing data but also about defining and achieving specific purposes or objectives.

Through comparing ChatGPT and DIKWP model, we found that ChatGPT has limitations in interacting with Data, Information, Knowledge, Wisdom, Purpose and their transformations. ChatGPT is incapable in answering non-statistical and individualized interactions since it has no modeling of the subjective purpose in the uncertainty situation originating in incomplete, inaccurate, inconsistent DIKWP semantics. DIKWP Graphs has potential in dealing with the in-capabilities of ChatGPT and even GPT4 with: Data Graph which is a visual representation of data that displays the relationship between different variables or data points. It is a way of presenting information in a more easily understandable and intuitive format, making it useful for analysis and decision-making, Information Graph, also known as an ontology, which is a type of graph that represents a structured and formalized representation of a particular domain of knowledge, Knowledge Graph which is a type of graph data structure that represents knowledge as a collection of entities, their properties, and the relationships between them, Wisdom Graph which is a type of Knowledge Graph that aims to represent and organize human knowledge and insights in a structured and interconnected way, and Purpose Graph which is a type of graph data structure that is designed to capture and represent the relationships between an organization’s goals, strategies, activities, and outcomes. Thereafter we foresee that DIKWP Graphs as a necessary and powerful supplement for future ChatGPT/GPT exploration.

The topics of DIKWP-ChatGPT/GPT Workshop includes:

  1. Small model of GPT solutions based on DIKW or DIKWP: Data and Knowledge hybrid modeling and processing of natural language content, language processing models, etc.
  2. Low computing workload GPT solutions: Ontology automation, Knowledge Graph, etc.
  3. New DIKW formalization methods: various formalization on common sense, cognition, etc.
  4. Objectivation approaches of subjective or cognitive content
  5. Semantic communication for 5G/6G, privacy persevering, etc.
  6. Other novel formalization or computation solutions in AI
