• Title: eSPARQL: Representing and Reconciling Agnostic and Atheistic Beliefs in RDF-star Knowledge Graphs
• Authors: Xinyi Pan, Daniel Hernández, Philipp Seifer, Ralf Lämmel, Steffen Staab,
• Abstract summary: A recent extension to RDF which admits statements over statements, called RDF-star, is in revision to become a W3C standard. There is no proposal for a semantics of these RDF-star statements nor a built-in facility to operate over them. We propose a query language for RDF-star metadata based on a four-valued logic, called eSPARQL.

• Abstract: Over the past few years, we have seen the emergence of large knowledge graphs combining information from multiple sources. Sometimes, this information is provided in the form of assertions about other assertions, defining contexts where assertions are valid. A recent extension to RDF which admits statements over statements, called RDF-star, is in revision to become a W3C standard. However, there is no proposal for a semantics of these RDF-star statements nor a built-in facility to operate over them. In this paper, we propose a query language for epistemic RDF-star metadata based on a four-valued logic, called eSPARQL. Our proposed query language extends SPARQL-star, the query language for RDF-star, with a new type of FROM clause to facilitate operating with multiple and sometimes conflicting beliefs. We show that the proposed query language can express four use case queries, including the following features: (i) querying the belief of an individual, (ii) the aggregating of beliefs, (iii) querying who is conflicting with somebody, and (iv) beliefs about beliefs (i.e., nesting of beliefs).

  SPARQL is brittle for complex intents and conversational questions. We propose a novel two-pronged system where we fuse: (i) SPARQL results over a database automatically derived from the knowledge graph, and (ii) text-search results over verbalizations of KG facts. Our pipeline supports iterative retrieval: when the results of any branch are found to be unsatisfactory, the system can automatically opt for further rounds. We demonstrate the superiority of our proposed system over several baselines on a knowledge graph of BMW automobiles.

  We introduce a new benchmark, AMBROSIA, which we hope will inform and inspire the development of text-to-open programs. Our dataset contains questions showcasing three different types of ambiguity (scope ambiguity, attachment ambiguity, and vagueness) In each case, the ambiguity persists even when the database context is provided. This is achieved through a novel approach that involves controlled generation of databases from scratch.

• Decomposing Complex Queries for Tip-of-the-tongue Retrieval [72.07449449115167]
  Complex queries describe content elements (e.g., book characters or events), information beyond the document text. This retrieval setting, called tip of the tongue (TOT), is especially challenging for models reliant on lexical and semantic overlap between query and document text. We introduce a simple yet effective framework for handling such complex queries by decomposing the query into individual clues, routing those as sub-queries to specialized retrievers, and ensembling the results.

  To translate natural language questions into database queries, most approaches rely on a fully annotated training set. We reduce this burden using grounded in databases intermediate question representations. Our pipeline consists of two parts: a semantic that converts natural language questions into the intermediate representations and a non-trainable transpiler to the QLSPAR query language.

Unlike existing ranking tasks which leverage the query and its description to compute the relevance of documents, Q2ID is a reverse task which aims to generate a natural language intent description. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our model by comparing with several state-of-the-art generation models on the Q2ID task.
