Matching tables against Knowledge Graphs is a crucial task in many applications. A widely adopted solution to improve the precision of matching algorithms is to refine the set of candidate entities by their type in the Knowledge Graph. However, it is not rare that a type is missing for a given entity. In this paper, we propose a methodology to improve the refinement phase of matching algorithms based on type prediction and soft constraints. We apply our methodology to state-of-the-art algorithms, showing a performance boost on different datasets.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
