• Authors: Ceren Ocal Tasar, Murat Komesli, Murat Osman Unalir
• Abstract summary: In this study, a question answering framework that converts Turkish natural language input into SPARQL queries in the geographical domain is proposed. A novel Turkish ontology, which covers a 10th grade geography lesson named Spatial Synthesis Turkey, has been developed to be used as a linked data provider. A hybrid system architecture that combines natural language processing techniques with linked data technologies to generate answers is also proposed.

• Abstract: With the considerable growth of linked data, researchers have focused on how to increase the availability of semantic web technologies to provide practical usages for real life systems. Question answering systems are an example of real-life systems that communicate directly with end users, understand user intention and generate answers. End users do not care about the structural query language or the vocabulary of the knowledge base where the point of a problem arises. In this study, a question answering framework that converts Turkish natural language input into SPARQL queries in the geographical domain is proposed. Additionally, a novel Turkish ontology, which covers a 10th grade geography lesson named Spatial Synthesis Turkey, has been developed to be used as a linked data provider. Moreover, a gap in the literature on Turkish question answering systems, which utilizes linked data in the geographical domain, is addressed. A hybrid system architecture that combines natural language processing techniques with linked data technologies to generate answers is also proposed. Further related research areas are suggested.

  GeoReasoner is a language model capable of reasoning on geospatially grounded natural language. It first leverages Large Language Models to generate a comprehensive location description based on linguistic inferences and distance information. It also encodes direction and distance information into spatial embedding via treating them as pseudo-sentences.

  We use the data-to-text method as a means for encoding structured knowledge for knowledge-intensive applications, i.e. open-domain question answering (QA) Specifically, we propose a verbalizer-retriever-reader framework for open-domain QA over data and text where verbalized tables from Wikipedia and triples from Wikidata are used as augmented knowledge sources. We show that our Unified Data and Text QA, UDT-QA, can effectively benefit from the expanded knowledge index, leading to large gains over text-only baselines.

  This paper addresses the problem of text-to-video temporal grounding, which aims to identify the time interval in a video semantically relevant to a text query. We tackle this problem using a novel regression-based model that learns to extract a collection of mid-level features for semantic phrases in a text query. The proposed method effectively predicts the target time interval by exploiting contextual information from local to global.
