| 1 | +Graph Pattern Learner |
| 2 | +===================== |
| 3 | + |
| 4 | +(Work in progress...) |
| 5 | + |
| 6 | +In this repository you find the code for a graph pattern learner. Given a list |
| 7 | +of source-target-pairs and a SPARQL endpoint, it will try to learn SPARQL |
| 8 | +patterns. Given a source, the learned patterns will try to lead you to the right |
| 9 | +target. |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +The algorithm was first developed on a list of human associations that had been |
| 12 | +mapped to DBpedia entities, as can be seen in [data/gt_associations.csv]: |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +| source | target | |

| 22 | + |
| 23 | +As you can immediately see, associations don't only follow a single pattern. Our |
| 24 | +algorithm is designed to be able to deal with this. It will try to learn several |
| 25 | +patterns, which in combination model your input list of source-target-pairs. If |
| 26 | +your list of source-target-pairs is less complicated, the algorithm will happily |
| 27 | +terminate earlier. |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +You can find more information about the algorithm and learning patterns for |
| 30 | +human associations on [https://w3id.org/associations]. The page also includes |
| 31 | +publications, as well as the resulting patterns learned for human associations |
| 32 | +from a local DBpedia endpoint including wikilinks. |

| 35 | +Installation |
| 36 | +------------ |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +Currently the suggested installation method is via git clone (also allows easier |
| 39 | +contributions): |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | + git clone [email protected]:RDFLib/graph-pattern-learner.git |
| 42 | + cd graph-pattern-learner |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +Afterwards, to setup the virtual environment and install all dependencies in it: |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | + virtualenv venv && |
| 47 | + . venv/bin/activate && |
| 48 | + pip install -r requirements.txt && |
| 49 | + deactivate |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +Running the learner |
| 53 | +------------------- |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | +Before actually running the evolutionary algorithm, please consider that it will |
| 56 | +issue a lot of queries to the endpoint you're specifying. Please don't run this |
| 57 | +against public endpoints without asking the providers first. It is likely that |
| 58 | +you will disrupt their service or get blacklisted. I suggest running against an |
| 59 | +own local endpoint filled with the datasets you're interested in. If you really |
| 60 | +want to run this against public endpoints, at least don't run the multi-process |
| 61 | +version, but restrict yourself to one process. |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +Always feel free to reach out for help or feedback via the issue tracker or via |
| 64 | +associations at joernhees de. We might even run the learner for you ;) |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | +Before running, make sure to activate the virtual environment: |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | + . venv/bin/activate |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | +To get a list of all available options run: |
| 71 | + |
| 72 | + python run.py --help |
| 73 | + |
| 74 | +Don't be scared by the length, most options use sane defaults, but it's nice to |
| 75 | +be able to change things once you become more familiar with your data and the |
| 76 | +learner. |
| 77 | + |
| 78 | +The options you will definitely be interested are: |
| 79 | + |
| 80 | + --associations_filename (defaults to ./data/gt_associations.csv) |
| 81 | + --sparql_endpoint (defaults to http://dbpedia.org/sparql) |
| 82 | + |
| 83 | +To run the algorithm you might want to run it like this: |
| 84 | + |
| 85 | + ./clean_logs.sh |
| 86 | + PYTHONIOENCODING=utf-8 python \ |
| 87 | + run.py --associations_filename=... --sparql_endpoint=... \ |
| 88 | + 2>&1 | tee >(gzip > logs/main.log.gz) |
| 89 | + |
| 90 | +If you want to speed things up you can (and should) run with SCOOP in parallel: |
| 91 | + |
| 92 | + ./clean_logs.sh |
| 93 | + PYTHONIOENCODING=utf-8 python \ |
| 94 | + -m scoop -n8 run.py --associations_filename=... --sparql_endpoint=... \ |
| 95 | + 2>&1 | tee >(gzip > logs/main.log.gz) |
| 96 | + |
| 97 | +SCOOP will then run the graph pattern learner distributed over 8 cores (-n). |
| 98 | + |
| 99 | +The algorithm will by default randomly split your input list of source-target- |
| 100 | +pairs into a training and a test set. If you want to see how well the learned |
| 101 | +patterns generalise, you can run: |
| 102 | + |
| 103 | + ./run_create_bundle.sh ./results/bundle_name sparql_endpoint \ |
| 104 | + --associations_filename=... |
| 105 | + |
| 106 | +The script will then first learn patterns, visualise them in |
| 107 | +`./results/bundle_name/visualise`, before evaluating predictions on first the |
| 108 | +training- and then the test-set. |
