IMPROVE-QA: An Interactive Mechanism for RDF Question/Answering Systems

Summary: IMPROVE-QA: interactive RDF QA framework refines the SPARQL query (Q) into a more precise graph (Q') via feedback, improving D(Q) to D(Q'). Demo shows per-query lessons that boost precision on future NL questions. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
