A crucial aspect of a knowledge base population system that extracts new facts from text corpora, is the generation of training data for its relation extractors. In this paper, we present a method that maximizes the effectiveness of newly…
Knowledge Base Question Answering (KBQA) aims to answer natural language questions over large-scale knowledge bases (KBs), which can be summarized into two crucial steps: knowledge retrieval and semantic parsing. However, three core…
Smart cities need the involvement of their residents to enhance quality of life. Conversational query-answering is an emerging approach for user engagement. There is an increasing demand of an advanced conversational question-answering that…
A policy knowledge graph can provide decision support for tasks such as project compliance, policy analysis, and intelligent question answering, and can also serve as an external knowledge base to assist the reasoning process of related…
Ontology-based knowledge graphs (KG) are desirable for effective knowledge management and reuse in various decision making scenarios, including design. Creating and populating extensive KG based on specific ontological models can be highly…
Machine reading comprehension (MRC) requires reasoning about both the knowledge involved in a document and knowledge about the world. However, existing datasets are typically dominated by questions that can be well solved by context…
Undoubtedly, one of the most important issues in computer science is intelligent speech recognition. In these systems, computers try to detect and respond to the speeches they are listening to, like humans. In this research, presenting of a…
This paper explores the efficacy of large language models (LLMs) for Persian. While ChatGPT and consequent LLMs have shown remarkable performance in English, their efficiency for more low-resource languages remains an open question. We…
Knowledge graph (KG) based reasoning has been regarded as an effective means for the analysis of semantic networks and is of great usefulness in areas of information retrieval, recommendation, decision-making, and man-machine interaction.…
Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities across numerous languages; however, their effectiveness in low-resource languages like Persian requires thorough investigation. This paper presents a comprehensive…
Knowledge-based recommendation models effectively alleviate the data sparsity issue leveraging the side information in the knowledge graph, and have achieved considerable performance. Nevertheless, the knowledge graphs used in previous…
In this paper, we propose a framework to detect topics in social media based on Human Word Association. Identifying topics discussed in these media has become a critical and significant challenge. Most of the work done in this area is in…
Grapheme-to-phoneme (G2P) conversion for Persian presents unique challenges due to its complex phonological features, particularly homographs and Ezafe, which exist in formal and informal language contexts. This paper introduces an…
We present PashtoCorp, a 1.25-billion-word corpus for Pashto, a language spoken by 60 million people that remains severely underrepresented in NLP. The corpus is assembled from 39 sources spanning seven HuggingFace datasets and 32…
Knowledge base question answering (KBQA) aims to answer a question over a knowledge base (KB). Early studies mainly focused on answering simple questions over KBs and achieved great success. However, their performance on complex questions…
The rise of social media is enabling people to freely express their opinions about products and services. The aim of sentiment analysis is to automatically determine subject's sentiment (e.g., positive, negative, or neutral) towards a…
The rapid production of data on the internet and the need to understand how users are feeling from a business and research perspective has prompted the creation of numerous automatic monolingual sentiment detection systems. More recently…
This Paper presents a method for lexicon reduction of Printed Farsi subwords based on their holistic shape features. Because of the large number of Persian subwords variously shaped from a simple letter to a complex combination of several…
Traditional methods of summarization are not cost-effective and possible today. Extractive summarization is a process that helps to extract the most important sentences from a text automatically and generates a short informative summary. In…
Background. In the last decades, several life science resources have structured data using the same framework and made these accessible using the same query language to facilitate interoperability. Knowledge graphs have seen increased…
