Due to its collaborative nature, Wikidata is known to have a complex taxonomy, with recurrent issues like the ambiguity between instances and classes, the inaccuracy of some taxonomic paths, the presence of cycles, and the high level of redundancy across classes. Manual efforts to clean up this taxonomy are time-consuming and prone to errors or subjective decisions. We present WiKC, a new version of Wikidata taxonomy cleaned automatically using a combination of Large Language Models (LLMs) and graph mining techniques. Operations on the taxonomy, such as cutting links or merging classes, are performed with the help of zero-shot prompting on an open-source LLM. The quality of the refined taxonomy is evaluated from both intrinsic and extrinsic perspectives, on a task of entity typing for the latter, showing the practical interest of WiKC.

The use of Knowledge Graphs (KGs) which constitute large networks of real-world entities and their interrelationships, has grown rapidly. A substantial body of research has emerged, exploring the integration of deep learning (DL) and large language models (LLMs) with KGs. This workshop aims to bring together leading researchers in the field to discuss and foster collaborations on the intersection of KG and DL/LLMs.

The entity type information in Knowledge Graphs (KGs) such as DBpedia, Freebase, etc. is often incomplete due to automated generation. Entity Typing is the task of assigning or inferring the semantic type of an entity in a KG. This paper introduces an approach named Cat2Type which exploits the Wikipedia Categories to predict the missing entity types in a KG. This work extracts information from Wikipedia Category names and the Wikipedia Category graph which are the sources of rich semantic information about the entities. In Cat2Type, the characteristic features of the entities encapsulated in Wikipedia Category names are exploited using Neural Language Models. On the other hand, a Wikipedia Category graph is constructed to capture the connection between the categories. The Node level representations are learned by optimizing the neighbourhood information on the Wikipedia category graph. These representations are then used for entity type prediction via classification. The performance of Cat2Type is assessed on two real-world benchmark datasets DBpedia630k and FIGER. The experiments depict that Cat2Type obtained a significant improvement over state-of-the-art approaches.

There has been a rapid growth in the use of symbolic representations along with their applications in many important tasks. Symbolic representations, in the form of Knowledge Graphs (KGs), constitute large networks of real-world entities and their relationships. On the other hand, sub-symbolic artificial intelligence has also become a mainstream area of research. This workshop brought together researchers to discuss and foster collaborations on the intersection of these two areas.

With an increased interest in machine processable data, many datasets are now published in RDF (Resource Description Framework) format in Linked Data Cloud. These data are distributed over independent resources which need to be centralized and explored for domain specific applications. This paper proposes a new approach based on interactive data exploration paradigm using Pattern Structures, an extension of Formal Concept Analysis, to provide exploration and navigation over Linked Data through concept lattices. It takes RDF triples and RDF Schema based on user requirements and provides one navigation space resulting from several RDF resources. This navigation space allows user to navigate and search only the part of data that is interesting for her.
