Geographic Question Answering (GeoQA) addresses natural language queries in geographic domains to fulfill complex user demands and improve information retrieval efficiency. Traditional QA systems, however, suffer from limited comprehension,…
We present GRISP (Guided Recurrent IRI Selection over SPARQL Skeletons), a novel SPARQL-based question-answering method over knowledge graphs based on fine-tuning a small language model (SLM). Given a natural-language question, the method…
Large Language Models (LLMs) have led to significant improvements in the Knowledge Base Question Answering (KBQA) task. However, datasets used in KBQA studies do not capture the true complexity of KBQA tasks. They either have simple…
Regular Path Queries (RPQs), which are essentially regular expressions to be matched against the labels of paths in labeled graphs, are at the core of graph database query languages like SPARQL. A way to solve RPQs is to translate them into…
Large language models (LLMs) have shown promising results in learning and contextualizing information from different forms of data. Recent advancements in foundational models, particularly those employing self-attention mechanisms, have…
This paper investigates whether state-of-the-art Large Language Models (LLMs) can automatically translate SPARQL between popular Knowledge Graph (KG) schemas. We focus on translations between the DBpedia and Wikidata KG, and later on DBLP…
In this paper, we describe a dataset and baseline result for a question answering that utilizes web tables. It contains commonly asked questions on the web and their corresponding answers found in tables on websites. Our dataset is novel in…
Most existing Knowledge Graph Question Answering (KGQA) approaches are designed for a specific KG, such as Wikidata, DBpedia or Freebase. Due to the heterogeneity of the underlying graph schema, topology and assertions, most KGQA systems…
This paper presents an open source methodology for allowing users to query structured non textual datasets through natural language Unlike Retrieval Augmented Generation RAG which struggles with numerical and highly structured information…
Ontology-Mediated Query Answering (OMQA) is a well-established framework to answer queries over an RDFS or OWL Knowledge Base (KB). OMQA was originally designed for unions of conjunctive queries (UCQs), and based on certain answers. More…
Neural Machine Translation (NMT) models from English to SPARQL are a promising development for SPARQL query generation. However, current architectures are unable to integrate the knowledge base (KB) schema and handle questions on knowledge…
We present the task of Spatio-Temporal Video Question Answering, which requires intelligent systems to simultaneously retrieve relevant moments and detect referenced visual concepts (people and objects) to answer natural language questions…
Evaluating the symbolic reasoning of large language models (LLMs) calls for geometry benchmarks that require multi-step proofs grounded in both text and diagrams. However, existing benchmarks are often limited in scale and rarely provide…
Image geolocation is a critical task in various image-understanding applications. However, existing methods often fail when analyzing challenging, in-the-wild images. Inspired by the exceptional background knowledge of multimodal language…
Existing Text-to-SQL benchmarks primarily focus on single-table queries or limited joins in general-purpose domains, and thus fail to reflect the complexity of domain-specific, multi-table and geospatial reasoning, To address this…
Large language models (LLMs) exhibit emerging geospatial capabilities, stemming from their pre-training on vast unlabelled text datasets that are often derived from the Common Crawl (CC) corpus. However, the geospatial content within CC…
The importance of geo-spatial data in critical applications such as emergency response, transportation, agriculture etc., has prompted the adoption of recent GeoSPARQL standard in many RDF processing engines. In addition to large…
Efficient usage of the knowledge provided by the Linked Data community is often hindered by the need for domain experts to formulate the right SPARQL queries to answer questions. For new questions they have to decide which datasets are…
Search engines based on keyword retrieval can no longer adapt to the way of information acquisition in the era of intelligent Internet of Things due to the return of keyword related Internet pages. How to quickly, accurately and effectively…
Cross-lingual open domain question answering (CLQA) is a complex problem, comprising cross-lingual retrieval from a multilingual knowledge base, followed by answer generation in the query language. Both steps are usually tackled by separate…
