Projects

Yago 4.5
The last version of the Yago knowledge base is out!
This enhanced version of the YAGO knowledge base integrates extensive elements of the Wikidata taxonomy, providing a cleaner, logically consistent structure for improved information retrieval and automated reasoning.
Yago 4.5
MAFALDA
MAFALDA is a new benchmark for fallacy classification that consolidates previous datasets into a unified taxonomy. The benchmark includes manual annotations with explanations, a specialized annotation scheme for subjective NLP tasks, and a novel evaluation method to handle subjectivity. We assessed both language models and human performance on MAFALDA to evaluate their fallacy detection and classification capabilities.

NoRDF
The NoRDF Project is a scientific project at Telecom Paris that aims to model and extract complex information from natural language text. More precisely, we want to enrich knowledge bases with events, causation, conditions, precedence, stories, negation, and beliefs.
