Abstract

As the Web is evolving to a highly globalized information space, sharing knowledge across different languages is attracting increasing attentions. Multilingual knowledge bases, in which the cross-lingual equivalent concepts or relationships are linked together, play important role in multilingual knowledge sharing. They are important sources for harvesting cross-lingual knowledge from the Web and have significant applications such as multi-lingual information retrieval, machine translation and deep question answering. This talk will introduce our research on key technologies on multilingual knowledge graph including cross lingual knowledge linking, cross lingual knowledge extraction and cross lingual ontology building.
