f-KGQA: A fuzzy question answering system for knowledge graphs
The wide usage of large-scale knowledge graphs (KGs) motivates the development of user-friendly interfaces so that knowledge graphs become more readily accessible to a larger population. Natural language-based question answering (QA) systems are widely investigated and developed in the context of KGs, which can provide users with a natural means to retrieve the information they need from KGs without expecting them to know the query language. It is very common that natural language contains linguistic terms (fuzzy terms), and fuzzy (flexible) query has been widely investigated in the context of databases. This paper contributes a QA system with fuzzy terms over KGs called f-KGQA. f-KGQA can deal with different types of questions, including simple questions, complex questions, and questions with fuzzy terms. More importantly, users are provided with a channel to flexibly define their fuzzy terms based on their understanding. Our experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness and applicability of f-KGQA in handling questions with fuzzy terms.
期刊介绍:
Since its launching in 1978, the journal Fuzzy Sets and Systems has been devoted to the international advancement of the theory and application of fuzzy sets and systems. The theory of fuzzy sets now encompasses a well organized corpus of basic notions including (and not restricted to) aggregation operations, a generalized theory of relations, specific measures of information content, a calculus of fuzzy numbers. Fuzzy sets are also the cornerstone of a non-additive uncertainty theory, namely possibility theory, and of a versatile tool for both linguistic and numerical modeling: fuzzy rule-based systems. Numerous works now combine fuzzy concepts with other scientific disciplines as well as modern technologies.
In mathematics fuzzy sets have triggered new research topics in connection with category theory, topology, algebra, analysis. Fuzzy sets are also part of a recent trend in the study of generalized measures and integrals, and are combined with statistical methods. Furthermore, fuzzy sets have strong logical underpinnings in the tradition of many-valued logics.
