• Abstract: Purpose: This paper aims to establish a fundamental and comprehensive understanding of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) by identifying and structuring common characteristics within a taxonomy. NFTs are hyped and increasingly marketed as essential building blocks of the Metaverse. However, the dynamic evolution of the NFT space has posed challenges for those seeking to develop a deep and comprehensive understanding of NFTs, their features, and capabilities. Design/methodology/approach: Utilizing common guidelines for the creation of taxonomies, we developed (over three iterations), a multi-layer taxonomy based on workshops and interviews with 11 academic and 15 industry experts. Through an evaluation of 25 NFTs, we demonstrate the usefulness of our taxonomy. Findings: The taxonomy has four layers, 14 dimensions and 42 characteristics, which describe NFTs in terms of reference object, token properties, token distribution, and realizable value. Originality: Our framework is the first to systematically cover the emerging NFT phenomenon. It is concise yet extendible and presents many avenues for future research in a plethora of disciplines. The characteristics identified in our taxonomy are useful for NFT and Metaverse related research in Finance, Marketing, Law, and Information Systems. Additionally, the taxonomy can serve as an information source for policymakers as they consider NFT regulation.

  We introduce ToTER (Topical taxonomy Enhanced Retrieval) framework. ToTER identifies the central topics of queries and documents with the guidance of the taxonomy, and exploits their topical relatedness to supplement missing contexts. As a plug-and-play framework, ToTER can be flexibly employed to enhance various PLM-based retrievers.

  This study investigates the potential of GPT-4 and its advanced iteration, GPT-4 Turbo, in autonomously developing a detailed entity type taxonomy. Our objective is to construct a comprehensive taxonomy, starting from a broad classification of entity types. This classification is then progressively refined through iterative prompting techniques, leveraging GPT-4's internal knowledge base.

  Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) represent deeds of ownership, based on blockchain technologies and smart contracts, of unique crypto assets on digital art forms (e.g., artworks or collectibles) We propose MERLIN, a novel multimodal deep learning framework designed to train Transformer-based language and visual models, along with graph neural network models, on collections of NFTs' images and texts. A key aspect in MERLIN is its independence on financial features, as it exploits only the primary data a user interested in NFT trading would like to deal with.

We observe that whereas for certain categories SOTA neural models have achieved near perfect accuracies, some categories still remain difficult.

  Taxonomies consist of machine-interpretable semantics and provide valuable knowledge for many web applications. We propose a novel self-supervised framework, named TaxoExpan, which automatically generates a set of query concept, anchor concept> pairs from the existing taxonomy as training data. We develop two innovative techniques in TaxoExpan: (1) a position-enhanced graph neural network that encodes the local structure of an anchor concept in the existing taxonomy, and (2) a noise-robust training objective that enables the learned model to be insensitive to the label noise in the self-supervision data.
