Data-driven construction of SPARQL queries by approximate question graph alignment in question answering over knowledge graphs

作者:

Highlights:

• Extracting the query graph patterns directly from the knowledge graph is proposed.

• Pairwise graph alignment-based method verifies the interpretations of a question.

• Relying on the intermediate semantic items is reduced to as least as possible.

• The lexical and structural approximation causes flexibility in finding matches.

• Results show a significant increase in the number of questions answered correctly.
