Type-Constrained Representation Learning in Knowledge Graphs
Large knowledge graphs increasingly add value to various applications that
require machines to recognize and understand queries and their semantics, as in
search or question answering systems. Latent variable models have increasingly
gained attention for the statistical modeling of knowledge graphs, showing
promising results in tasks related to knowledge graph completion and cleaning.
Besides storing facts about the world, schema-based knowledge graphs are backed
by rich semantic descriptions of entities and relation-types that allow
machines to understand the notion of things and their semantic relationships.
In this work, we study how type-constraints can generally support the
statistical modeling with latent variable models. More precisely, we integrated
prior knowledge in form of type-constraints in various state of the art latent
variable approaches. Our experimental results show that prior knowledge on
relation-types significantly improves these models up to 77% in link-prediction
tasks. The achieved improvements are especially prominent when a low model
complexity is enforced, a crucial requirement when these models are applied to
very large datasets. Unfortunately, type-constraints are neither always
available nor always complete e.g., they can become fuzzy when entities lack
proper typing. We show that in these cases, it can be beneficial to apply a
local closed-world assumption that approximates the semantics of relation-types
based on observations made in the data

What can be done with the Semantic Web? An overview of Watson-based applications
Thanks to the huge efforts deployed in the community for creating, building and generating semantic information for the Semantic Web, large amounts of machine processable knowledge are now openly available. Watson is an infrastructure component for the Semantic Web, a gateway that provides the necessary functions to support applications in using the Semantic Web. In this paper, we describe a number of applications relying on Watson, with the purpose of demonstrating what can be achieved with the Semantic Web nowadays and what sort of new, smart and useful features can be derived from the exploitation of this large, distributed and heterogeneous base of semantic information
CHORUS Deliverable 2.1: State of the Art on Multimedia Search Engines
Based on the information provided by European projects and national initiatives related to multimedia search as well as domains experts that participated in the CHORUS Think-thanks and workshops, this document reports on the state of the art related to multimedia content search from, a technical, and socio-economic perspective.
The technical perspective includes an up to date view on content based indexing and retrieval technologies, multimedia search in the context of mobile devices and peer-to-peer networks, and an overview of current evaluation and benchmark inititiatives to measure the performance of multimedia search engines.
From a socio-economic perspective we inventorize the impact and legal consequences of these technical advances and point out future directions of research
Deductive and Analogical Reasoning on a Semantically Embedded Knowledge Graph
Representing knowledge as high-dimensional vectors in a continuous semantic
vector space can help overcome the brittleness and incompleteness of
traditional knowledge bases. We present a method for performing deductive
reasoning directly in such a vector space, combining analogy, association, and
deduction in a straightforward way at each step in a chain of reasoning,
drawing on knowledge from diverse sources and ontologies.Comment: AGI 201

FABilT – finding answers in a billion triples
This submission presents the application of two coupled systems to the Billion Triples Challenge. The first system (Watson) provides the infrastructure which allows the second one (PowerAqua) to pose natural language queries to the billion triple datasets. Watson is a gateway to the Semantic Web: it crawls and indexes semantic data online to provide a variety of access mechanisms for human users and applications.We show here how we indexed most of the datasets provided for the challenge, thus obtaining an infrastructure (comprising web services, API, web interface, etc.) which supports the exploration of these datasets and makes them available to any Watson-based application. PowerAqua is an open domain question answering system which allows users to pose natural language queries to large scale collections of heterogeneous semantic data. In this paper, we discuss the issues we faced in configuring
PowerAqua and Watson for the challenge and report on our results. The system composed of Watson and PowerAqua, and applied to the Billion Triples Challenge, is called FABilT
