An introduction to domain-specific knowledge graphs construction



Abstract:
There is a lot of interest in knowledge graphs as a rich structure that can be used in many IR applications like search, recommendations, and question-answering. While there are examples of knowledge graphs in industry and academia, there is little information on the practical aspects of how to design and build them. In this tutorial, I’ll outline why knowledge graphs can be useful in IR applications and describe some of the challenges and opportunities when designing and implementing domain-specific knowledge graphs from the ground up. I’ll present examples from the real world that showcase different design decisions.
