[MA] Evaluating the Impact of Comments in Knowledge Graphs on Question Answering Augmented with Language Models

Description:

Previous work has shown that changing the representation of knowledge graphs impacts the F1 score of question answering [1].
However, adding comments to terms of an ontology did not improve results in baseline experiments.

Your task is
(i) to distinguish variants of comments in a knowledge graph, considering different RDF terms and learnings from research fields like linguistics,
(ii) to draft evaluation data for the variants, building on an existing knowledge graph [2], and
(iii) to conduct experiments with a given language model-augmented question answering agent to compare F1 scores between variants.

Please note that providing coherent reasoning for your choices in solving the given task is required.

We prefer students with a good grade in Foundations of Linked Data.

We expect an initial exposé that outlines the planned approach and some related work and participation in monthly online update meetings.
