2025 ReportGRI: Automating GRI Alignment and Report Assessment
abstract
Organisations disclose their sustainability performance in corporate sustainability reports (CSRs). CSRs vary widely in structure and depth depending on the reporting framework. Such disparity, together with report complexity and volume, poses significant challenges to transparency, comparability and standardisation. To address this problem, we introduce ReportGRI, an automated system for Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) indexing and qualitative assessment of CSRs. The interactive framework leverages information retrieval techniques and zero-shot prompting to enable GRI disclosure-based report indexing and report coverage assessment by visualising well-covered topics and reporting gaps. The tool facilitates scalable and explainable benchmarking of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) reporting quality, enhancing report interpretation, transparency, and corporate accountability. The system is open-sourced on GitHub with an introduction video.

2025 DBLP QuAD 2.0: Scholarly Natural Questions from SPARQL
abstract
We present DBLP-QuAD 2.0, designed to evaluate Scholarly Knowledge Graph Question Answering (KGQA) over DBLP. Recent updates in the underlying DBLP KG, including new entities and relationships such as venues, research streams, and citation links, have necessitated a corresponding update to existing KG QA benchmarking resources. While the DBLP-QuAD dataset focused on author and publication-centered queries, DBLP-QuAD 2.0 broadens the coverage to reflect the enriched structure of the updated KG. Specifically, the questions in our dataset are formulated from SPARQL query logs that cover a wide range of entities involving authors, publications, venues, research streams, and citation relationships. DBLP-QuAD 2.0 thus provides a more comprehensive benchmark for evaluating KGQA systems with a baseline.

2022 Modern Baselines for SPARQL Semantic Parsing
abstract
In this work, we focus on the task of generating SPARQL queries from natural language questions, which can then be executed on Knowledge Graphs (KGs). We assume that gold entity and relations have been provided, and the remaining task is to arrange them in the right order along with SPARQL vocabulary, and input tokens to produce the correct SPARQL query. Pre-trained Language Models (PLMs) have not been explored in depth on this task so far, so we experiment with BART, T5 and PGNs (Pointer Generator Networks) with BERT embeddings, looking for new baselines in the PLM era for this task, on DBpedia and Wikidata KGs. We show that T5 requires special input tokenisation, but produces state of the art performance on LC-QuAD 1.0 and LC-QuAD 2.0 datasets, and outperforms task-specific models from previous works. Moreover, the methods enable semantic parsing for questions where a part of the input needs to be copied to the output query, thus enabling a new paradigm in KG semantic parsing.
