• Title: Towards a Brazilian History Knowledge Graph
• Authors: Valeria de Paiva, Alexandre Rademaker,
• Abstract summary: We construct a knowledge graph for Brazilian history based on the Brazilian Dictionary of Historical Biographies (DHBB) and Wikipedia/Wikidata. We show that many terms/entities described in the DHBB do not have corresponding concepts (or Q items) in Wikidata.

• Abstract: This short paper describes the first steps in a project to construct a knowledge graph for Brazilian history based on the Brazilian Dictionary of Historical Biographies (DHBB) and Wikipedia/Wikidata. We contend that large repositories of Brazilian-named entities (people, places, organizations, and political events and movements) would be beneficial for extracting information from Portuguese texts. We show that many of the terms/entities described in the DHBB do not have corresponding concepts (or Q items) in Wikidata, the largest structured database of entities associated with Wikipedia. We describe previous work on extracting information from the DHBB and outline the steps to construct a Wikidata-based historical knowledge graph.

• Leveraging Wikidata's edit history in knowledge graph refinement tasks [77.34726150561087]
  edit history represents the process in which the community reaches some kind of fuzzy and distributed consensus. We build a dataset containing the edit history of every instance from the 100 most important classes in Wikidata. We propose and evaluate two new methods to leverage this edit history information in knowledge graph embedding models for type prediction tasks.

  The textitPetit Larousse illustr'e is a French dictionary first published in 1905. We describe a new lexical resource, where we connected all the dictionary entries of the history and geography part to current data sources. Using the wikidata links, we can automate more easily the identification, comparison, and verification of historically-situated representations.

  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.

  We run a series of microtasks experiments to evaluate a large corpus of references, sampled from Wikidata triples with labels in several languages. We use a consolidated, curated version of the crowdsourced assessments to train several machine learning models to scale up the analysis to the whole of Wikidata. The findings help us ascertain the quality of references in Wikidata, and identify common challenges in defining and capturing the quality of user-generated multilingual structured data on the web.
