    Developing 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.

    RDFGraphGen: A Synthetic RDF Graph Generator based on SHACL Constraints

    This paper introduces RDFGraphGen, a general-purpose, domain-independent generator of synthetic RDF graphs based on SHACL constraints. The Shapes Constraint Language (SHACL) is a W3C standard which specifies ways to validate data in RDF graphs, by defining constraining shapes. However, even though the main purpose of SHACL is validation of existing RDF data, in order to solve the problem with the lack of available RDF datasets in multiple RDF-based application development processes, we envisioned and implemented a reverse role for SHACL: we use SHACL shape definitions as a starting point to generate synthetic data for an RDF graph. The generation process involves extracting the constraints from the SHACL shapes, converting the specified constraints into rules, and then generating artificial data for a predefined number of RDF entities, based on these rules. The purpose of RDFGraphGen is the generation of small, medium or large RDF knowledge graphs for the purpose of benchmarking, testing, quality control, training and other similar purposes for applications from the RDF, Linked Data and Semantic Web domain. RDFGraphGen is open-source and is available as a ready-to-use Python package.

    In this work, we present a state-of-the-art solution for automatic playlist continuation through a knowledge graph-based recommender system. By integrating representational learning with graph neural networks and fusing multiple data streams, the system effectively models user behavior, leading to accurate and personalized recommendations. We provide a systematic and thorough comparison of our results with existing solutions and approaches, demonstrating the remarkable potential of graph-based representation in improving recommender systems. Our experiments reveal substantial enhancements over existing approaches, further validating the efficacy of this novel approach. Additionally, through comprehensive evaluation, we highlight the robustness of our solution in handling dynamic user interactions and streaming data scenarios, showcasing its practical viability and promising prospects for next-generation recommender systems.

    Natural language processing (NLP) is an area of artificial intelligence that applies information technologies to process the human language, understand it to a certain degree, and use it in various applications. This area has rapidly developed in the past few years and now employs modern variants of deep neural networks to extract relevant patterns from large text corpora. The main objective of this work is to survey the recent use of NLP in the field of pharmacology. As our work shows, NLP is a highly relevant information extraction and processing approach for pharmacology. It has been used extensively, from intelligent searches through thousands of medical documents to finding traces of adversarial drug interactions in social media. We split our coverage into five categories to survey modern NLP: methodology, commonly addressed tasks, relevant textual data, knowledge bases, and useful programming libraries. We split each of the five categories into appropriate subcategories, describe their main properties and ideas, and summarize them in a tabular form. The resulting survey presents a comprehensive overview of the area, useful to practitioners and interested observers. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: The main objective of this work is to survey the recent use of NLP in the field of pharmacology in order to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state in the area after the rapid developments that occurred in the past few years. The resulting survey will be useful to practitioners and interested observers in the domain.

    PharmKE: Knowledge Extraction Platform for Pharmaceutical Texts Using Transfer Learning
    (MDPI, 2023-01-09)

    Even though named entity recognition (NER) has seen tremendous development in recent years, some domain-specific use-cases still require tagging of unique entities, which is not well handled by pre-trained models. Solutions based on enhancing pre-trained models or creating new ones are efficient, but creating reliable labeled training for them to learn on is still challenging. In this paper, we introduce PharmKE, a text analysis platform tailored to the pharmaceutical industry that uses deep learning at several stages to perform an in-depth semantic analysis of relevant publications. The proposed methodology is used to produce reliably labeled datasets leveraging cutting-edge transfer learning, which are later used to train models for specific entity labeling tasks. By building models for the well-known text-processing libraries spaCy and AllenNLP, this technique is used to find Pharmaceutical Organizations and Drugs in texts from the pharmaceutical domain. The PharmKE platform also incorporates the NER findings to resolve co-references of entities and examine the semantic linkages in each phrase, creating a foundation for further text analysis tasks, such as fact extraction and question answering. Additionally, the knowledge graph created by DBpedia Spotlight for a specific pharmaceutical text is expanded using the identified entities. The obtained results with the proposed methodology result in about a 96% F1-score on the NER tasks, which is up to 2% better than those of the fine-tuned BERT and BioBERT models developed using the same dataset. The ultimate benefits of the platform are that pharmaceutical domain specialists may more easily identify the knowledge extracted from the input texts thanks to the platform’s visualization of the model findings. Likewise, the proposed techniques can be integrated into mobile and pervasive systems to give patients more relevant and comprehensive information from scanned medication guides. Similarly, it can provide preliminary insights to patients and even medical personnel on whether a drug from a different vendor is compatible with the patient’s prescription medication.

    Semantic Web and Data Science Integration Using Computational Books

    This paper presents the architecture for the development of web applications for exploring semantic knowledge graphs through parameterized interactive visualizations. The web interface and the interactive parameterized visualizations, in the form of a computational book, provide a way in which knowledge graphs can be explored. An important part of using this approach for building interactive web visualizations is that we can substitute the knowledge graph entities with other entities within the existing interactive visualizations, execute commands in a web-based environment, and get the same visualization for the new entities. With this architecture, various applications for interactive visualization of knowledge graphs can be developed, which can also stimulate the interest to explore the graph and its entities. We also present a publicly available open source use-case that is built using the concepts discussed in this paper.
