Evaluation of SPARQL query generation from natural language questions
نویسندگان
چکیده
SPARQL queries have become the standard for querying linked open data knowledge bases, but SPARQL query construction can be challenging and timeconsuming even for experts. SPARQL query generation from natural language questions is an attractive modality for interfacing with LOD. However, how to evaluate SPARQL query generation from natural language questions is a mostly open research question. This paper presents some issues that arise in SPARQL query generation from natural language, a test suite for evaluating performance with respect to these issues, and a case study in evaluating a system for SPARQL query generation from natural language questions.

Generating Quiz Questions from Knowledge Graphs
We propose an approach to generate natural language questions from knowledge graphs such as DBpedia and YAGO. We stage this in the setting of a quiz game. Our approach, though, is general enough to be applicable in other settings. Given a topic of interest (e.g., Soccer) and a di culty (e.g., hard), our approach selects a query answer, generates a SPARQL query having the answer as its sole resu...
متن کاملExtending DUDES for Ranked Template Generation
Question answering systems for Linked Open Data represented in RDF has received attention lately. These systems allow users to access datasets without any prior knowledge of the data model, schema, or query language. Template generation is one such method used by systems to transform natural language questions into SPARQL queries. TBSL is a representative of systems that use template-based appr...
متن کاملDescription of the POMELO System for the Task 2 of QALD-2014
In this paper, we present the POMELO system we develop for participating to the task 2 of the QALD challenge. Our approach for translating natural language questions in SPARQL queries is based on natural language processing methods, semantic resources and RDF triple description. We design a four-step method which pre-process the question, generation an abstraction of the question, then build a ...
متن کاملMEANS : une approche sémantique pour la recherche de réponses aux questions médicales
We present a medical question answering approach, called MEANS. This approach relies on natural language processing techniques to extract medical entities and relations from the user questions and medical corpora. It also uses semantic Web languages to represent and query the information searched by the users. This feature allows to share the information extracted from textual corpora using sta...
متن کاملAnswering Natural Language Questions with Intui3
Intui3 is one of the participating systems at the fourth evaluation campaign on multilingual question answering over linked data, QALD4. The system accepts as input a question formulated in natural language (in English), and uses syntactic and semantic information to construct its interpretation with respect to a given database of RDF triples (in this case DBpedia 3.9). The interpretation is ma...
