Natural Language Question Answering over RDF — A Graph Data Driven Approach

Summary: Graph-data driven RDF Q/A framework; semantic query graph models NL questions and reduces NLQ to subgraph matching. Ambiguity resolved during matching; no-match pruning saves disambiguation cost, boosting precision and speed over SOTA on benchmarks. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
