SLQ: A User-friendly Graph Querying System
Summary: SLQ enables schemaless, structureless graph queries on large knowledge graphs with an intuitive UI. Novelty: auto-learned ranking without labels; mapping via transformations; top-k results on graphs; drill-down/roll-up summaries; elastic GUI for new transforms and feedback.
