• Abstract: Knowledge from diverse application domains is organized as knowledge graphs (KGs) that are stored in RDF engines accessible in the web via SPARQL endpoints. Expressing a well-formed SPARQL query requires information about the graph structure and the exact URIs of its components, which is impractical for the average user. Question answering (QA) systems assist by translating natural language questions to SPARQL. Existing QA systems are typically based on application-specific human-curated rules, or require prior information, expensive pre-processing and model adaptation for each targeted KG. Therefore, they are hard to generalize to a broad set of applications and KGs. In this paper, we propose KGQAn, a universal QA system that does not need to be tailored to each target KG. Instead of curated rules, KGQAn introduces a novel formalization of question understanding as a text generation problem to convert a question into an intermediate abstract representation via a neural sequence-to-sequence model. We also develop a just-in-time linker that maps at query time the abstract representation to a SPARQL query for a specific KG, using only the publicly accessible APIs and the existing indices of the RDF store, without requiring any pre-processing. Our experiments with several real KGs demonstrate that KGQAn is easily deployed and outperforms by a large margin the state-of-the-art in terms of quality of answers and processing time, especially for arbitrary KGs, unseen during the training.

  We present OntoSCPrompt, a novel Large Language Model (LLM)-based KGQA approach with a two-stage architecture. OntoSCPrompt first generates a SPARQL query structure (including SPARQL keywords such as SELECT, ASK, WHERE and placeholders for missing tokens) and then fills them with KG-specific information. We present several task-specific decoding strategies to ensure the correctness and executability of generated SPARQL queries in both stages.

  Knowledge Graph Query Embedding (KGQE) aims to embed First-Order Logic (FOL) queries in a low-dimensional KG space for complex reasoning over incomplete KGs. Recent studies integrate various external information (such as entity types and relation context) to better capture the logical semantics of FOL queries. We propose an effective Query Instruction Parsing (QIPP) that captures latent query patterns from code-like query instructions.

  We propose a novel framework to automatically construct a knowledge graph from unstructured documents. We first extract knowledges from unstructured documents and encode them with contextual information. Entities with similar context semantics are linked through internal alignment to form a graph structure. This allows us to extract desired information from multiple documents by traversing the generated KG without a manual process.
