• Authors: Niklas L\"udemann, Ageda Shiba, Nikolaos Thymianis, Nicolas Heist, Christopher Ludwig, and Heiko Paulheim
• Abstract summary: Laws in different states may have unforeseen interaction effects, which can be exploited by allowing multinational companies to minimize taxes. We present a knowledge graph of multinational companies and their relationships, comprising almost 1.5M business entities. We show that commonly known tax planning strategies can be formulated as subgraph queries to that graph, which allows for identifying companies using certain strategies.

• Abstract: The taxation of multi-national companies is a complex field, since it is influenced by the legislation of several states. Laws in different states may have unforeseen interaction effects, which can be exploited by allowing multinational companies to minimize taxes, a concept known as tax planning. In this paper, we present a knowledge graph of multinational companies and their relationships, comprising almost 1.5M business entities. We show that commonly known tax planning strategies can be formulated as subgraph queries to that graph, which allows for identifying companies using certain strategies. Moreover, we demonstrate that we can identify anomalies in the graph which hint at potential tax planning strategies, and we show how to enhance those analyses by incorporating information from Wikidata using federated queries.

  We propose graph domain adaptation as an effective knowledge-transfer paradigm across graphs. GDA introduces a bunch of task-related graphs as source graphs and adapts the knowledge learnt from source graphs to the target graphs. We outline the research status and challenges, propose a taxonomy, introduce the details of representative works, and discuss the prospects.

  Current chart-related tasks focus on either chart perception which refers to extracting information from the visual charts, or performing reasoning given the extracted data. In this paper, we aim to establish a unified and label-efficient learning paradigm for joint perception and reasoning tasks. Experiments are conducted on various chart-related tasks, demonstrating the effectiveness and promising potential for a unified chart perception-reasoning paradigm.

  We introduce a taxonomy that groups decoding strategies based on their implicit assumptions about how well the model's likelihood is aligned with the task-specific notion of utility. Specifically, by analyzing the correlation between the likelihood and the utility of predictions across a diverse set of tasks, we provide the first empirical evidence supporting the proposed taxonomy.
