Leveraging LLMs in Scholarly Knowledge Graph Question Answering

This paper presents a scholarly Knowledge Graph Question Answering (KGQA) that answers bibliographic natural language questions by leveraging a LLM in a few-shot manner. The model initially identifies the top-n similar training questions related to a given test question via a BERT-based sentence encoder and retrieves their corresponding SPARQL. Using the top-n similar question-SPARQL pairs as an example and the test question creates a prompt. Then pass the prompt to the LLM and generate a SPARQL. Finally, runs the SPARQL against the underlying KG - ORKG (Open Research KG) endpoint and returns an answer. Our system achieves an F1 score of 99.0%, on SciQA - one of the Scholarly-QALD-23 challenge benchmarks.
