I found reading that new paper very interesting, and also disheartening.

* Refining Wikidata Taxonomy using Large Language
Models<https://hal.science/hal-04687258v1/file/WiKC_CIKM_2024.pdf> - Manual
efforts to clean up Wikidata's taxonomy are time-consuming and prone to error,
this paper introduces WiKC (a new version of Wikidatataxonomy) which
automatically cleans using a combination of large language models (LLMs) and
graph mining techniques. Quality of the refined taxonomy is evaluated from both
intrinsic and extrinsic perspectives, on a task of entity typing for the
latter. By Y. Peng, T. Bonald & M. Alam.
It seems Humans are still much better at classifying things. I am critical of
many of the assumptions that were made, even by their Judge LLM constructed
(which I fear was given sometimes wrong training). As an example, some links
were removed that actually provided value and made BETTER sense of our highly
structured world and brains.
Case in point, they discuss "urban area" <--> "human settlement" or vice-versa.
It's clear to anyone that what defines "urban" to begin with is of extreme
importance - and it differs often depending where you live in the world - so
ranking has to be pulled into the picture to give some general consensus to a
real world model (in all areas of the world, does "urban" mean inside a
"settlement"... always?...everywhere? We know the answer is no.) But
generally we have consensus that there are broad city areas, and human language
terms that relate boundaries of those areas, and further terms that actually
define those boundary areas. Does "urban" itself focus on a boundary?
Sometimes, in many parts of the world, it does. Sometimes not. Regardless,
there's consensus that "urban" would be inclusive of a "city" boundary, and
"rural" would be outside a "city" boundary - most of the time đ. So, exactly
because of "most of the time" this implies that ranking should be applied to
subclass relations.... instead of cutting and merging subclass relations, as
the paper's WiKC model did. What a shame. It should have avoided cutting and
merging, and instead liberally applied better ranking, as a first pass, in my
opinion.
Still, BIG KUDOS, to the team, Yiwen Peng, Thomas Bonald, Mehwish Alam, et. al.
for even approaching such a difficult task and having to spend hundreds of
hours in training and research combined - and attempting to untangle a mess of
"instance of" with machines đ
