   - Blogs: (fr) female authors with male pseudonyms
   
<https://george2etexte.wordpress.com/2024/12/12/autrices-au-pseudonyme-masculin/>,

   - Papers
      - Ontology-grounded Automatic Knowledge Graph Construction by LLM
      under Wikidata schema <https://arxiv.org/abs/2412.20942> - This paper
      proposes an ontology-driven approach to KG construction using LLMs where
      competency questions guide ontology creation and relation extraction,
      leveraging Wikidata for semantic consistency. A scalable
pipeline minimizes
      human effort while producing high-quality, interpretable KGs
interoperable
      with Wikidata for knowledge base expansion. By Xiaohan Feng, Xixin Wu &
      Helen Meng (2024).
      - Knowledge Incorporated Image Question Answering Using Wikidata
      Repository
      <https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-981-97-6995-7_39> -
      Proposes a Visual Question Answering (VQA) model that integrates external
      knowledge from Wikidata to address complex open-domain questions by
      combining image, question, and knowledge modalities. Evaluated
on the VQAv2
      dataset, the model outperforms prior state-of-the-art approaches,
      demonstrating improved reasoning and accuracy (Koshti et al., 2024).
   - Videos: (arabic) Part 6: SPARQL Demo Session: connecting external
   services <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kbuks8jCyGw> - Sparql SERVICE
   clause gives access to additional data such as labels via wikibase:label,
   interaction with MediaWiki APIs using wikibase:mwapi, and integration of
   data from subgraphs (such as the main graph and the scholarly articles
   graph). Integration of data from external SPARQL endpoints such as DBpedia.
