Table annotation is crucial for making web and enterprise tables usable in downstream NLP applications. Unlike textual data where learning semantically rich token or sentence embeddings often suffice, tables are structured combinations of…
The W3C Web Ontology Language (OWL) is a powerful knowledge representation formalism at the basis of many semantic-centric applications. Since its unrestricted usage makes reasoning undecidable already in case of very simple tasks,…
RDF and property graph models have many similarities, such as using basic graph concepts like nodes and edges. However, such models differ in their modeling approach, expressivity, serialization, and the nature of applications. RDF is the…
The ambiguity at the boundaries of different semantic classes in point cloud semantic segmentation often leads to incorrect decisions in intelligent perception systems, such as autonomous driving. Hence, accurate delineation of the…
High-dimensional distributed semantic spaces have proven useful and effective for aggregating and processing visual, auditory, and lexical information for many tasks related to human-generated data. Human language makes use of a large and…
The task of answering natural language questions over RDF data has received wide interest in recent years, in particular in the context of the series of QALD benchmarks. The task consists of mapping a natural language question to an…
Reasoning in the Semantic Web (SW) commonly uses Description Logics (DL) via OWL2 DL ontologies, or SWRL for variables and Horn clauses. The Rule Interchange Format (RIF) offers more expressive rules but is defined outside RDF and rarely…
This paper explores the evolving landscape of data spaces, focusing on key concepts, practical applications, and emerging future directions. It begins by introducing the foundational principles that underpin data space architectures,…
The rise of spatiotemporal data and the need for efficient geospatial modeling have spurred interest in automating these tasks with large language models (LLMs). However, general LLMs often generate errors in geospatial code due to a lack…
Cross-domain data integration drives interdisciplinary data reuse and knowledge transfer across domains. However, each discipline maintains its own metadata schemas and domain ontologies, employing distinct conceptual models and application…
3D semantic segmentation is a critical task in many real-world applications, such as autonomous driving, robotics, and mixed reality. However, the task is extremely challenging due to ambiguities coming from the unstructured, sparse, and…
In computer vision, depth estimation is crucial for domains like robotics, autonomous vehicles, augmented reality, and virtual reality. Integrating semantics with depth enhances scene understanding through reciprocal information sharing.…
Database query performance problem determination is often performed by analyzing query execution plans (QEPs) in addition to other performance data. As the query workloads that organizations run, have become larger and more complex,…
Drawing connections between interesting groupings of data and their real-world meaning is an important, yet difficult, part of encountering a new dataset. A lay reader might see an interesting visual pattern in a chart but lack the domain…
Interactive search can provide a better experience by incorporating interaction feedback from the users. This can significantly improve search accuracy as it helps avoid irrelevant information and captures the users' search intents.…
The number of linked data sources and the size of the linked open data graph keep growing every day. As a consequence, semantic RDF services are more and more confronted with various "big data" problems. Query processing in the presence of…
In this paper, we present a novel approach -- called WaterFowl -- for the storage of RDF triples that addresses some key issues in the contexts of big data and the Semantic Web. The architecture of our prototype, largely based on the use of…
We suggest to employ techniques from Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Knowledge Representation (KR) to transform existing documents into documents amenable for the Semantic Web. Semantic Web documents have at least part of their…
Since many real-world documents combine textual and tabular data, robust Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) systems are essential for effectively accessing and analyzing such content to support complex reasoning tasks. Therefore, this…
We address the problem of semantic querying of relational databases (RDB) modulo knowledge bases using very expressive knowledge representation formalisms, such as full first-order logic or its various fragments. We propose to use a…
