GETT-QA: Graph Embedding based T2T Transformer for Knowledge Graph Question Answering

In this work, we present an end-to-end Knowledge Graph Question Answering (KGQA) system named GETT-QA. GETT-QA uses T5, a popular text-to-text pre-trained language model. The model takes a question in natural language as input and produces a simpler form of the intended SPARQL query. In the simpler form, the model does not directly produce entity and relation IDs. Instead, it produces corresponding entity and relation labels. The labels are grounded to KG entity and relation IDs in a subsequent step. To further improve the results, we instruct the model to produce a truncated version of the KG embedding for each entity. The truncated KG embedding enables a finer search for disambiguation purposes. We find that T5 is able to learn the truncated KG embeddings without any change of loss function, improving KGQA performance. As a result, we report strong results for LC-QuAD 2.0 and SimpleQuestions-Wikidata datasets on end-to-end KGQA over Wikidata.Comment: 16 pages single column format accepted at ESWC 2023 research trac

Demoing Platypus – A Multilingual Question Answering Platform for Wikidata

International audienceIn this paper we present Platypus, a natural language question answering system on Wikidata. Our platform can answer complex queries in several languages, using hybrid grammatical and template based techniques. Our demo allows users either to select sample questions , or formulate their own – in any of the 3 languages that we currently support. A user can also try out our Twitter bot, which replies to any tweet that is sent to its account
