Knowledge Graph (KG) Database

AKA: Formal Semantic Network.
Context:
- It can (typically) be composed of KG Concepts and KG Edges.
- It can (often) be represented as a Graph Database.
- It can range from being a Structured KG (e.g. semi-structured KG) to being an Embedded KG.
- It can range from being a Small Knowledge Graph to being a Medium-Sized Knowledge Graph to being a Large Knowledge Graph.
- It can be produced by a KG Construction Task.
- It can be associated to a Embedded Knowledge Graph.

- QUOTE: Knowledge graphs (KGs) store structured knowledge as a collection of triples KG = {(h, r, t) ⊆ E × R × E}, where E and R respectively denote the set of entities and relations. Existing knowledge graphs (KGs) can be classified into four groups based on the stored information: 1) encyclopedic KGs, 2) commonsense KGs, 3) domain-specific KGs, and 4) multimodal KGs. We illustrate the examples of KGs of different categories in Fig. 5.

- In knowledge representation and reasoning, knowledge graph is a knowledge base that uses a graph-structured data model or topology to integrate data. Knowledge graphs are often used to store interlinked descriptions of entitiesobjects, events, situations or abstract conceptswhile also encoding the semantics underlying the used terminology. Since the development of the Semantic Web, knowledge graphs are often associated with linked open data projects, focusing on the connections between concepts and entities. They are also prominently associated with and used by search engines such as Google, Bing, and Yahoo; knowledge-engines and question-answering services such as WolframAlpha, Apple's Siri, and Amazon Alexa; and social networks such as LinkedIn and Facebook.

- ABSTRACT: Most knowledge graph use cases are data-centric, focusing on representing data entities and their semantic relationships. There are no published success stories to represent large-scale complicated business logic with knowledge graph technologies. In this paper, we will share our innovative and practical approach to representing complicated U.S. and Canadian income tax compliance logic (calculations and rules) via a large-scale knowledge graph. We will cover how the Tax Knowledge Graph is constructed and automated, how it is used to calculate tax refunds, reasoned to find missing info, and navigated to explain the calculated results. The Tax Knowledge Graph has helped transform Intuit's flagship TurboTax product into a smart and personalized experience, accelerating and automating the tax preparation process while instilling confidence for millions of customers.

- ABSTRACT:Knowledge graph (KG) embedding is to embed components of a KG including entities and relations into continuous vector spaces, so as to simplify the manipulation while preserving the inherent structure of the KG. It can benefit a variety of downstream tasks such as KG completion and relation extraction, and hence has quickly gained massive attention. ...

- The Knowledge Graph is a knowledge base used by Google to enhance its search engine's search results with semantic-search information gathered from a wide variety of sources. Knowledge Graph display was added to Google's search engine in 2012, starting in the United States, having been announced on May 16, 2012. ...
