Advancing AI and Knowledge Graphs on the Global Stage
In a world increasingly powered by data and intelligent systems, breakthroughs in how machines understand information are shaping the future of technology. This vision is embodied by Mounir Ourekouch, a PhD student and Data Scientist at UM6P, whose research paper was accepted at the 22nd European Semantic Web Conference (ESWC 2025). Co-supervised by Prof. Mohammed Erradi and Prof. Mohammed Amine Koulali, Ourekouch’s achievement highlights UM6P’s growing leadership in AI-driven web technologies, linked data, and knowledge graph research—fields at the heart of the digital transformation revolution.
Pioneering Work in Semantic Web and AI
The paper, titled “RelCheck: Improving Relation Extraction with Ontology-Guided and LLM-Based Validation”, explores innovative ways to enhance how artificial intelligence systems extract and validate relationships between data points. By combining ontology-based reasoning with Large Language Models (LLMs), the study bridges structured knowledge with machine learning—pushing the boundaries of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Knowledge Graph Construction.
Recognition at a World-Class Conference
Presented during the Research Track at ESWC 2025 (June 1–5, 2025), Ourekouch’s paper stood among contributions from some of the most prominent global researchers in the field. ESWC, an A-ranked international conference, is widely recognized as a premier venue for advancing the Semantic Web and Knowledge Graph domains, making this acceptance a strong mark of scientific excellence.
UM6P’s Commitment to Future-Ready Research
This recognition reflects UM6P’s mission to cultivate researchers who not only master advanced technologies but also pioneer their evolution. By fostering an environment that bridges data science, AI, and applied innovation, UM6P continues to strengthen Morocco’s footprint in global scientific networks and contribute to shaping the next generation of digital intelligence.
A Star in the UM6P Galaxy
For Mounir Ourekouch, this milestone is more than a research achievement—it’s a symbol of the growing influence of UM6P scholars on the global research stage. His work reinforces the University’s vision of combining scientific rigor, innovation, and impact, proving that the stars of UM6P shine far beyond the campus.
