• Title: Integrating SPARQL and LLMs for Question Answering over Scholarly Data Sources
• Authors: Fomubad Borista Fondi, Azanzi Jiomekong Fidel, Gaoussou Camara,
• Abstract summary: This paper describes a methodology that combines SPARQL queries, divide and conquer algorithms, and a pre-trained extractive question answering model. It starts with SPARQL queries to gather data, then applies divide and conquer to manage various question types and sources, and uses the model to handle personal author questions. The approach, evaluated with Exact Match and F-score metrics, shows promise for improving QA accuracy and efficiency in scholarly contexts.

• Abstract: The Scholarly Hybrid Question Answering over Linked Data (QALD) Challenge at the International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC) 2024 focuses on Question Answering (QA) over diverse scholarly sources: DBLP, SemOpenAlex, and Wikipedia-based texts. This paper describes a methodology that combines SPARQL queries, divide and conquer algorithms, and a pre-trained extractive question answering model. It starts with SPARQL queries to gather data, then applies divide and conquer to manage various question types and sources, and uses the model to handle personal author questions. The approach, evaluated with Exact Match and F-score metrics, shows promise for improving QA accuracy and efficiency in scholarly contexts.

Experiments on ConflictingQA with controversial web queries and DebateQFS, our new dataset of debate queries from Debatepedia, show MODS beats SOTA by 38-59% in topic paragraph coverage and balance.

• RAGONITE: Iterative Retrieval on Induced Databases and Verbalized RDF for Conversational QA over KGs with RAG [6.4032082023113475]
  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 present and tackle the problem of Embodied Question Answering with Situational Queries (S-EQA) in a household environment. We first introduce a novel Prompt-Generate-Evaluate scheme that wraps around an LLM's output to create a dataset of unique situational queries and corresponding consensus object information. We report an improved accuracy of 15.31% while using queries framed from the generated object consensus for Visual Question Answering (VQA) over directly answering situational ones.

  Multi-hop Question Answering over Knowledge Graph(KGQA) aims to find the answer entities that are multiple hops away from the topic entities mentioned in a natural language question. We propose UniKGQA, a novel approach for multi-hop KGQA task, by unifying retrieval and reasoning in both model architecture and parameter learning.

FeTaQA yields a more challenging table question answering setting because it requires generating free-form text answers after retrieval, inference, and integration of multiple discontinuous facts from a structured knowledge source.

  In open question answering (QA), the answer to a question is produced by retrieving and then analyzing documents that might contain answers to the question. Most open QA systems have considered only retrieving information from unstructured text. We present a new large-scale dataset Open Table-and-Text Question Answering (OTT-QA) to evaluate performance on this task.
