Context:
VASTE project aims at assessing the veracity of epidemiological events by exploiting the knowledge and the data coming from different data sources of different origins and different quality levels: structured data derived from expert reports published by official agencies (e.g. OIE, FAO, OMS) and data produced by a process of text mining from unofficial sources (e.g. local newspapers, blogs).
Objectif :
For this purpose, we plan to develop an approach that will combine data linking approaches and reasoning mechanisms from argumentation theory. Indeed, defining new data linking methods which while considering data quality indicators (e.g., freshness, reliability) will allow to determine the groups of events referring to the same disease, the same species, the same localisation and the same period, and thus will be able to indicate how true is an event. The argumentation reasoning will allow enforcing the obtained truthfulness, by reasoning on positive and negative expert arguments. To prove the effectiveness and the efficiency of the proposed approach, an experimental evaluation will be conducted on datasets that were already collected by TETIS Lab on the animal epidemiological surveillance domain.
Work in progress:
As a first step of this project, we have studied the related work on veracity assessment and on temporal information representation in Knowledge Graphs (KG). We are currently defining an approach that allows to first enrich an existing KG with temporal information by relying on existing knowledge graphs such as Yago and Wikidata. As a second stage of the approach is to assess the temporal veracity of each triple in the KG by combining different kinds of information.
For communication and dissemination on VASTE project, we are replying to a call for workshops at EGC 2019 in which we will target the scientific community working on truth discovery and veracity assessment.
