    Creation of a Knowledge Space by Semantically Linking Data Repository and Knowledge Management System - a Use Case from Production Engineering
    (Laxenburg : IFAC, 2022) Sheveleva, Tatyana; Wawer, Max Leo; Oladazimi, Pooya; Koepler, Oliver; Nürnberger, Florian; Lachmayer, Roland; Auer, Sören; Mozgova, Iryna
    The seamless documentation of research data flows from generation, processing, analysis, publication, and reuse is of utmost importance when dealing with large amounts of data. Semantic linking of process documentation and gathered data creates a knowledge space enabling the discovery of relations between steps of process chains. This paper shows the design of two systems for data deposit and for process documentation using semantic annotations and linking on a use case of a process chain step of the Tailored Forming Technology.

    Why reinvent the wheel: Let's build question answering systems together
    (New York City : Association for Computing Machinery, 2018) Singh, K.; Radhakrishna, A.S.; Both, A.; Shekarpour, S.; Lytra, I.; Usbeck, R.; Vyas, A.; Khikmatullaev, A.; Punjani, D.; Lange, C.; Vidal, Maria-Esther; Lehmann, J.; Auer, Sören
    Modern question answering (QA) systems need to flexibly integrate a number of components specialised to fulfil specific tasks in a QA pipeline. Key QA tasks include Named Entity Recognition and Disambiguation, Relation Extraction, and Query Building. Since a number of different software components exist that implement different strategies for each of these tasks, it is a major challenge to select and combine the most suitable components into a QA system, given the characteristics of a question. We study this optimisation problem and train classifiers, which take features of a question as input and have the goal of optimising the selection of QA components based on those features. We then devise a greedy algorithm to identify the pipelines that include the suitable components and can effectively answer the given question. We implement this model within Frankenstein, a QA framework able to select QA components and compose QA pipelines. We evaluate the effectiveness of the pipelines generated by Frankenstein using the QALD and LC-QuAD benchmarks. These results not only suggest that Frankenstein precisely solves the QA optimisation problem but also enables the automatic composition of optimised QA pipelines, which outperform the static Baseline QA pipeline. Thanks to this flexible and fully automated pipeline generation process, new QA components can be easily included in Frankenstein, thus improving the performance of the generated pipelines.
