[{"abstract":[{"lang":"eng","text":"Generating SPARQL queries is crucial for extracting relevant information from diverse knowledge graphs. However, the structural and semantic differences among these graphs necessitate training or fine-tuning a tailored model for each one. In this paper, we propose UniQ-Gen, a unified query generation approach to generate SPARQL queries across various knowledge graphs. UniQ-Gen integrates entity recognition, disambiguation, and linking through a BERT-NER model and employs cross-encoder ranking to align questions with the Freebase ontology. We conducted several experiments on different benchmark datasets such as LC-QuAD 2.0, GrailQA, and QALD-10. The evaluation results demonstrate that our approach achieves performance equivalent to or better than models fine-tuned for individual knowledge graphs. This finding suggests that fine-tuning a unified model on a heterogeneous dataset of SPARQL queries across different knowledge graphs eliminates the need for separate models for each graph, thereby reducing resource requirements."}],"publication":"Knowledge Engineering and Knowledge Management","citation":{"bibtex":"@inproceedings{Vollmers_Srivastava_Zahera_Moussallem_Ngonga Ngomo_2025, place={Cham}, title={UniQ-Gen: Unified Query Generation Across Multiple Knowledge Graphs}, DOI={<a href=\"https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-77792-9_11\">https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-77792-9_11</a>}, booktitle={Knowledge Engineering and Knowledge Management}, publisher={Springer Nature Switzerland}, author={Vollmers, Daniel and Srivastava, Nikit and Zahera, Hamada Mohamed Abdelsamee and Moussallem, Diego and Ngonga Ngomo, Axel-Cyrille}, editor={Alam, Mehwish and Rospocher, Marco and van Erp, Marieke and Hollink, Laura and Gesese, Genet Asefa}, year={2025}, pages={174–189} }","ama":"Vollmers D, Srivastava N, Zahera HMA, Moussallem D, Ngonga Ngomo A-C.
