Item type:Publication, MetriKG: Profiling Static and Evolving Knowledge Graphs(ACM, 2026-05-28) ;Günes, Hasan H.; Hose, KatjaKnowledge graphs (KGs) are a foundational technology for representing and integrating information across heterogeneous domains. As some KGs evolve, understanding how their structural and semantic properties change over time is crucial for ensuring quality, consistency, and interpretability. Existing methods for KG evaluation often focus on static graphs or analyze evolution solely at the data level, leaving schema-level dynamics underexplored. To address this gap, we introduce MetriKG, a web-based application that computes a comprehensive set of metrics for both static and evolving KGs. MetriKG enables users to evaluate KGs provided as RDF files or through SPARQL endpoints, allowing for multi-dimensional analysis of aspects such as cohesion, connectivity, and inheritance depth. By supporting metric computation at both data and schema levels, MetriKG allows for systematic profiling, classification, and temporal monitoring of KGs. MetriKG is open-source and publicly available. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Exploring the Potential of Topological Data Analysis for Explainable Large Language Models: A Scoping Review(Zenodo, 2026) ;Sekuloski, Petar ;Kitanovski, Dimitar; ; Large language models (LLMs) have become central to modern artificial intelligence, yet their internal decision-making processes remain difficult to interpret. As interest grows in making these models more transparent and reliable, topological data analysis (TDA) has emerged as a promising mathematical approach for exploring their structure. This scoping review maps the current landscape of research where TDA tools—such as persistent homology and Mapper—are used to examine LLM components like attention patterns, latent representations, and training dynamics. By analyzing topological features across layers and tasks, these methods provide new ways to understand how language models generalize, respond to unfamiliar inputs, and shift under fine-tuning. The review also considers how TDA-based techniques contribute to broader goals in interpretability and robustness, especially in detecting hallucinations, out-of-distribution behavior, and representational collapse. Overall, the findings suggest that TDA offers a rigorous and versatile framework for studying LLMs, helping researchers uncover deeper patterns in how these models learn and reason. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Comparing the Use of Simu5G and 5G‐Sim‐V2I/N Modules When Analysing the Edge Computing Resource Management Efficiency(Wiley, 2025-04-29) ;Bernad, Cristina ;Gilly, Katja; ;Thomas, NigelRoig, Pedro JuanPerformance analysis of smart edge computing orchestration algorithms should be done using a realistic urban simulation environment wherein mobile users are accessing their edge services using a readily available 5G network. In this paper, we investigate the influence of using two different 5G simulation frameworks, which are provided as readily available possibilities to model the access network used to deliver edge computing services. The results show that although both frameworks aim to implement the 5G specifications and are deemed suitable choices for simulating a 5G smart city vehicular environment, there can be significant differences in the obtained macro results. The analysis of the simulation results from two identical studies where the only change is the choice of a 5G simulation framework shows that the obtained average end-to-end edge service latency as perceived by edge users can differ up to more than 21 times. The choice of 5G simulation framework is also reflected in the overall generated workload for the edge computing orchestration leading to over 25% more migrations when using 5G-Sim-V2I/N compared to Simu5G. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, RDFGraphGen: An RDF Graph Generator Based on SHACL Shapes(Springer Nature (Singapore), 2026-04-01); ;Vecovska, Marija ;Jakubowski, MaximeHose, KatjaDeveloping and testing modern RDF-based applications often requires access to RDF datasets with certain characteristics. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to publicly find domain-specific knowledge graphs that conform to a particular set of characteristics. Hence, in this paper we propose RDFGraphGen, an open-source RDF graph generator that uses characteristics provided in the form of SHACL (Shapes Constraint Language) shapes to generate synthetic RDF graphs. RDFGraphGen is domain-agnostic, with configurable graph structure, value constraints, and distributions. It also comes with a number of predefined values for popular schema.org classes and properties, for more realistic graphs. Our results show that RDFGraphGen is scalable and can generate small, medium, and large RDF graphs in any domain. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Small Prompts, Big Energy and CO2 Impact: Benchmarking Ollama LLMs on CPU and GPU(IEEE, 2025-11-25) ;Kolovska, Ana; Energy efficiency is a crucial challenge when deploying Large Language Models (LLMs). Electricity usage and related CO2 emissions can differ greatly depending on model architecture, parameter size, prompt length, and inference hardware. In this study, we evaluate 31 popular Ollama models across CPU and GPU inference, resulting in 60 testing scenarios. Energy and carbon metrics were gathered using the NVML and CodeCarbon libraries, providing insights into the environmental impact of LLM inference in data center settings. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Towards Generating Synthetic EHR Knowledge Graphs — a Probabilistic Approach(GOBLIN COST Action, 2025-06-12); ;Milenkova, Eva ;Jakubowski, MaximeHose, KatjaAdvances in medical AI and data analytics require large amounts of patient data. Due to privacy concerns, such data is not always available. Synthetic data generation promises a solution to provide the required data despite privacy restrictions. In this paper, we therefore introduce SynMedRDF, an open-source tool to generate synthetic Electronic Health Records. It ensures clinical accuracy by using real-world probabilities and correlations. The data is output as an RDF knowledge graph, enabling structure- and semantics-aware sharing, linking, and analysis. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Temperature induced self-healing properties of alginate gelatin hydrogels(Elsevier, 2024-05-15) ;Greco, Immacolata ;Vadakken Gigimon, Anet ;Varon, Carolin ;Madevska Bogdanova, AnaIorio, S.CarloOne of the main challenges in tissue engineering is developing constructs that restore damaged tissues. This has led to the growth of classes of materials with tuneable mechanical and absorption properties. Among others, hydrogels are particularly fascinating because they can be functionalized to self-repairdamage like the native living tissues. This work proposes an improved thermo-responsive alginate-gelatine (SA-Gel) hydrogel capable of self-repairing, whose mechanical properties are enhanced by the addition of optimal concentration of graphene oxide (GO). The initial results show that the novel hydrogel’s formulation improves self- healing and mechanical properties making them a potential candidate for biomedical applications.
