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.","lang":"eng"}],"author":[{"last_name":"Vollmers","first_name":"Daniel","full_name":"Vollmers, Daniel"},{"orcid":"0009-0004-5164-4911","id":"70066","full_name":"Srivastava, Nikit","last_name":"Srivastava","first_name":"Nikit"},{"first_name":"Hamada Mohamed Abdelsamee","last_name":"Zahera","full_name":"Zahera, Hamada Mohamed Abdelsamee","id":"72768","orcid":"0000-0003-0215-1278"},{"last_name":"Moussallem","first_name":"Diego","id":"71635","full_name":"Moussallem, Diego"},{"id":"65716","full_name":"Ngonga Ngomo, Axel-Cyrille","last_name":"Ngonga Ngomo","first_name":"Axel-Cyrille"}],"page":"174–189","date_created":"2024-11-22T12:56:54Z","status":"public","citation":{"ama":"Vollmers D, Srivastava N, Zahera HMA, Moussallem D, Ngonga Ngomo A-C.
