Course Abstract

Advances in information extraction have enabled the automatic construction of large knowledge graphs (KGs) like DBpedia, YAGO, Wikidata of Google Knowledge Graph. Learning rules from KGs is a crucial task for KG completion, cleaning and curation. This course tutorial presents state-of-the-art rule induction methods, recent advances, research opportunities as well as open challenges along this avenue.

DIFFICULTY LEVEL: ADVANCED

Learning Objectives

  • Understand problems of learning exception-enriched and numerical rules from highly biased and incomplete data

  • Discuss possible extensions of classical rule induction techniques to account for unstructured resources (e.g., text) along with the structured ones.

Background knowledge

  • This course is for current and aspiring Data Scientists and ML Engineers

  • Knowledge of following tools and concepts is useful:

  • Good understanding of machine learning topics

  • Familiarity with knowledge representation and reasoning is helpful, but not required
