QQ: A Language Metadata Toolkit for Multilingual NLP

Read the original on arXiv Computation and Language →

QQ is a language metadata toolkit designed for multilingual NLP research. It aggregates diverse language metadata into a graph of varieties, scripts, regions, identifiers, names, and relations, and offers access via a Python API, CLI, and browser explorer. The toolkit enables normalization of identifiers, metadata retrieval, relation traversal, and discovery of external resources containing a language, and is demonstrated through audits of the HuggingFace Hub, linking resources with different identifier systems, and generating reproducible language-reporting tables.

CodeGraph: Open-Taxonomy Knowledge Graph for Source Code with Wikidata Grounding

The paper introduces CodeGraph, an open‑taxonomy knowledge graph that semantically annotates source code by extracting entities such as algorithms, paradigms, design patterns, and application domains from millions of files. Using a specialized large language model and a three‑stage Wikidata linking process, the authors ground these entities in Wikidata and construct a graph with about 158 million nodes and 1 billion typed edges across 14 programming languages. A quality‑assurance protocol combining human evaluation and an LLM‑as‑a‑judge filter quantifies annotation precision.

SPARQL-LLM: Real-Time SPARQL Query Generation from Natural Language Questions

SPARQL-LLM is an open‑source, triplestore‑agnostic system that generates SPARQL queries from natural language using lightweight metadata and dedicated components for indexing, prompt building, and execution. It achieves up to 59 % higher F1 scores than the next best system on a multilingual challenge and on bioinformatics knowledge graphs, while being up to 27 × faster and costing no more than $0.01 per question. The project is publicly available on GitHub and is already deployed on real‑world decentralized knowledge graphs such as expasy.org/chat.

Enabling Knowledge Graph Understanding at Scale with the EXplore Your Graphs ENgine (EXYGEN)

The paper introduces EXYGEN, a framework that enables conversational access to large knowledge graphs by combining VoID descriptions, ShEx schemas, retrieved triples, and example question‑query pairs in a retrieval‑augmented generation pipeline. On the SciQA benchmark, this approach achieves an exact‑match score of 0.419 without fine‑tuning any large language model, and shows that larger general‑purpose LLMs can outperform smaller code‑specialized ones when provided sufficient context. To scale metadata generation for very large KGs, the authors propose a predicate‑coverage‑aware parallel graph sampling strategy that preserves structural diversity, reduces runtime by over 80× on OpenCitations Meta and GESIS, and is the only tractable method for obtaining complete metadata on ORKG.
