Program Overview
Students will develop methods for identifying obsolete or incorrect data, updating knowledge networks, and improving search result relevance.
Program Outline
Other:
This project is about the analysis and temporal modelling, retrieval and ranking of information found in articles and reports. Tasks may include: (1) Temporal Knowledge Graph Reasoning based evolutional entity and relation representations. (2) Design and develop methods for identifying obsolete/fake/incorrect data and for updating the knowledge of the network. (3) Develop methods and strategies for continual learning with focus on temporal information updating. (4) Extend the temporal information search, retrieval and ranking methods with query reformulation and relevance feedback functionality. Temporal modelling of search results. (5) Develop methods for improving relevance of search results. These can include methods bridging vision and language with structured semantic representations with focus on information retrieval. (6) The development of an interactive tool that would include the above functionality. Datasets can be research articles, papers, medical books, etc.
