Abstract

En 中文
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.
