When to Ask a Question: Understanding Communication Strategies in Generative AI Tools

Authors: Charlotte Park, Kate Donahue, and Manish Raghavan

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 368, 7th Symposium on Foundations of Responsible Computing (FORC 2026)


Abstract
Generative AI models differ from traditional machine learning tools in that they allow users to provide as much or as little information as they choose in their inputs. This flexibility often leads users to omit certain details, relying on the models to infer and fill in under-specified information based on distributional knowledge of user preferences. Such inferences may privilege majority viewpoints and disadvantage users with atypical preferences, raising concerns about fairness. Unlike more traditional recommender systems, LLMs can explicitly solicit more information from users through natural language. However, while directly eliciting user preferences could increase personalization and mitigate inequality, excessive querying places a burden on users who value efficiency. We develop a stylized model of user-LLM interaction and develop an objective that captures tradeoff between user burden and preference representation. Building on the observation that individual preferences are often correlated, we analyze how AI systems should balance inference and elicitation, characterizing the optimal amount of information to solicit before content generation. Ultimately, we show that information elicitation can mitigate the systematic biases of preference inference, enabling the design of generative tools that better incorporate diverse user perspectives while maintaining efficiency. We complement this theoretical analysis with an empirical evaluation illustrating the model’s predictions and exploring their practical implications.

CrowdLink: Unlocking Idle LEO Network Capacity with User Terminals

Authors: Lixin Liu, Jinyao Zhang, Bijia You, Yimei Chen, Jiabo Yang, Yuanjie Li, Hewu Li, Qian Wu, Zeqi Lai, and Jun Liu

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 139, 1st New Ideas in Networked Systems (NINeS 2026)


Abstract
The Low Earth Orbit (LEO) network is booming worldwide thanks to its unprecedented number of satellites. However, most of these satellites remain underutilized to connect more users or boost performance, posing tensions for their return on investment. A critical cause is that their gateways to the Internet (ground stations) are geographically skewed or even centralized, forming last-mile bottlenecks. We examine the potential of eliminating these bottlenecks with ubiquitous user terminals (UTs). Our solution, CrowdLink, reuses UTs as local access points to decentralize satellites' gateways to the Internet, and as relays to convert idle satellite radio links into additional paths for more network capacity. This user-centric paradigm is self-scaling to more UTs and satellites (akin to P2P networks), resilient to rapid satellite mobility, mutually beneficial for users and operators, and readily deployable in operational LEO networks. Our real tests with Starlink UTs across three countries and large-scale simulations show that CrowdLink can increase each UT’s throughput by 3.09× on average (up to 65.27×), double the LEO network capacity utilization, and unlock 2.05-7.99 million more users for Starlink without adding satellites/ground stations.

Rule-Based Knowledge Graph Completion (Invited Paper)

Authors: Patrick Betz, Christian Meilicke, and Heiner Stuckenschmidt

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 138, Joint Proceedings of the 20th and 21st Reasoning Web Summer Schools (RW 2024 & RW 2025)


Abstract
The field of knowledge graph completion is concerned with augmenting knowledge graphs with missing information. Symbolic rule-based approaches are not only efficient and interpretable but also competitive with embedding-based methods in regard to predictive quality. Rule-based knowledge graph completion can be separated into two stages, the learning stage and the application stage, which are both individually challenging. In the learning stage, horn rules are mined from a given knowledge graph. Given the vast size of the space of all possible rules, the mining approach must select relevant rules effectively. In the application stage, the mined rules are used to make new predictions which are assigned with plausibility scores. These scores need to be set by aggregating individual confidence values of rules that have the same consequence. This tutorial covers the fundamental aspects required to build a symbolic rule-based approach for knowledge graph completion. It will discuss the different rule types, mining strategies, and how to effectively apply the rules in different scenarios. Finally, we discuss practical examples for rule application by using the Python-based PyClause library.

Planar Stories of Graph Drawings: Algorithms and Experiments

Authors: Carla Binucci, Sabine Cornelsen, Walter Didimo, Seok-Hee Hong, Eleni Katsanou, Maurizio Patrignani, Antonios Symvonis, and Samuel Wolf

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 357, 33rd International Symposium on Graph Drawing and Network Visualization (GD 2025)


Abstract
We address the problem of computing a dynamic visualization of a geometric graph G as a sequence of frames. Each frame shows only a portion of the graph but their union covers G entirely. The two main requirements of our dynamic visualization are: (i) guaranteeing drawing stability, so to preserve the user’s mental map; (ii) keeping the visual complexity of each frame low. To satisfy the first requirement, we never change the position of the vertices. Regarding the second requirement, we avoid edge crossings in each frame. More precisely, in the first frame we visualize a suitable subset of non-crossing edges; in each subsequent frame, exactly one new edge enters the visualization and all the edges that cross with it are deleted. We call such a sequence of frames a planar story of G. Our goal is to find a planar story whose minimum number of edges contemporarily displayed is maximized (i.e., a planar story that maximizes the minimum frame size). Besides studying our model from a theoretical point of view, we also design and experimentally compare different algorithms, both exact techniques and heuristics. These algorithms provide an array of alternative trade-offs between efficiency and effectiveness, also depending on the structure of the input graph.

Survey
Resilience in Knowledge Graph Embeddings

Authors: Arnab Sharma, N'Dah Jean Kouagou, and Axel-Cyrille Ngonga Ngomo

Published in: TGDK, Volume 3, Issue 2 (2025). Transactions on Graph Data and Knowledge, Volume 3, Issue 2


Abstract
In recent years, knowledge graphs have gained interest and witnessed widespread applications in various domains, such as information retrieval, question-answering, recommendation systems, amongst others. Large-scale knowledge graphs to this end have demonstrated their utility in effectively representing structured knowledge. To further facilitate the application of machine learning techniques, knowledge graph embedding models have been developed. Such models can transform entities and relationships within knowledge graphs into vectors. However, these embedding models often face challenges related to noise, missing information, distribution shift, adversarial attacks, etc. This can lead to sub-optimal embeddings and incorrect inferences, thereby negatively impacting downstream applications. While the existing literature has focused so far on adversarial attacks on KGE models, the challenges related to the other critical aspects remain unexplored. In this paper, we, first of all, give a unified definition of resilience, encompassing several factors such as generalisation, in-distribution generalization, distribution adaption, and robustness. After formalizing these concepts for machine learning in general, we define them in the context of knowledge graphs. To find the gap in the existing works on resilience in the context of knowledge graphs, we perform a systematic survey, taking into account all these aspects mentioned previously. Our survey results show that most of the existing works focus on a specific aspect of resilience, namely robustness. After categorizing such works based on their respective aspects of resilience, we discuss the challenges and future research directions.

Quantum Speedups for Polynomial-Time Dynamic Programming Algorithms

Authors: Susanna Caroppo, Giordano Da Lozzo, Giuseppe Di Battista, Michael T. Goodrich, and Martin Nöllenburg

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 349, 19th International Symposium on Algorithms and Data Structures (WADS 2025)


Abstract
We introduce a quantum dynamic programming framework that allows us to directly extend to the quantum realm a large body of classical dynamic programming algorithms. The corresponding quantum dynamic programming algorithms retain the same space complexity as their classical counterpart, while achieving a computational speedup. For a combinatorial (search or optimization) problem P and an instance I of P, such a speedup can be expressed in terms of the average degree δ of the {dependency digraph} G_𝒫(I) of I, determined by a recursive formulation of P. The nodes of this graph are the subproblems of P induced by I and its arcs are directed from each subproblem to those on whose solution it relies. In particular, our framework allows us to solve the considered problems in Õ(|V(G_𝒫(I))| √δ) time. As an example, we obtain a quantum version of the Bellman-Ford algorithm for computing shortest paths from a single source vertex to all the other vertices in a weighted n-vertex digraph with m edges that runs in Õ(n√{nm}) time, which improves the best known classical upper bound when m ∈ Ω(n^{1.4}).

Semantic Representation of Adverbs in the Lexicalized Meaning Representation (LMR) Framework

Authors: Jorge Baptista, Izabela Müller, and Sónia Reis

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 135, 14th Symposium on Languages, Applications and Technologies (SLATE 2025)


Abstract
Semantic parsing serves as a crucial interface between natural language and formal meaning representations, enabling computational systems to capture the underlying semantic structure of linguistic expressions. This paper addresses a relatively understudied area in both linguistic theory and natural language processing: the semantic representation of adverbs. We conduct a comparative analysis of annotation guidelines and practices across two semantic representation frameworks: Lexicalized Meaning Representation (LMR), applied to the European Portuguese edition of the novella "O Principezinho" by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (1943); and Abstract Meaning Representation (AMR), applied to the Brazilian Portuguese edition, "O Pequeno Príncipe". The study reveals significant limitations in AMR’s handling of adverbial constructions, particularly when assessed against contemporary syntactic-semantic advances in linguistic theory. Furthermore, it highlights the theoretical and practical challenges that LMR continues to face in this domain.

Detecting Functionality-Specific Vulnerabilities via Retrieving Individual Functionality-Equivalent APIs in Open-Source Repositories

Authors: Tianyu Chen, Zeyu Wang, Lin Li, Ding Li, Zongyang Li, Xiaoning Chang, Pan Bian, Guangtai Liang, Qianxiang Wang, and Tao Xie

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 333, 39th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP 2025)


Abstract
Functionality-specific vulnerabilities, which mainly occur in Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) with specific functionalities, are crucial for software developers to detect and avoid. When detecting individual functionality-specific vulnerabilities, the existing two categories of approaches are ineffective because they consider only the API bodies and are unable to handle diverse implementations of functionality-equivalent APIs. To effectively detect functionality-specific vulnerabilities, we propose APISS, the first approach to utilize API doc strings and signatures instead of API bodies. APISS first retrieves functionality-equivalent APIs for APIs with existing vulnerabilities and then migrates Proof-of-Concepts (PoCs) of the existing vulnerabilities for newly detected vulnerable APIs. To retrieve functionality-equivalent APIs, we leverage a Large Language Model for API embedding to improve the accuracy and address the effectiveness and scalability issues suffered by the existing approaches. To migrate PoCs of the existing vulnerabilities for newly detected vulnerable APIs, we design a semi-automatic schema to substantially reduce manual costs. We conduct a comprehensive evaluation to empirically compare APISS with four state-of-the-art approaches of detecting vulnerabilities and two state-of-the-art approaches of retrieving functionality-equivalent APIs. The evaluation subjects include 180 widely used Java repositories using 10 existing vulnerabilities, along with their PoCs. The results show that APISS effectively retrieves functionality-equivalent APIs, achieving a Top-1 Accuracy of 0.81 while the best of the baselines under comparison achieves only 0.55. APISS is highly efficient: the manual costs are within 10 minutes per vulnerability and the end-to-end runtime overhead of testing one candidate API is less than 2 hours. APISS detects 179 new vulnerabilities and receives 60 new CVE IDs, bringing high value to security practice.

Polychromatic Coloring of Tuples in Hypergraphs

Authors: Ahmad Biniaz, Jean-Lou De Carufel, Anil Maheshwari, Michiel Smid, Shakhar Smorodinsky, and Miloš Stojaković

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 332, 41st International Symposium on Computational Geometry (SoCG 2025)


Abstract
A hypergraph H consists of a set V of vertices and a set E of hyperedges that are subsets of V. A t-tuple of H is a subset of t vertices of V. A t-tuple k-coloring of H is a mapping of its t-tuples into k colors. A coloring is called (t,k,f)-polychromatic if each hyperedge of E that has at least f vertices contains tuples of all the k colors. Let f_H(t,k) be the minimum f such that H has a (t,k,f)-polychromatic coloring. For a family of hypergraphs ℋ let f_H(t,k) be the maximum f_H(t,k) over all hypergraphs H in H. Determining f_H(t,k) has been an active research direction in recent years. This is challenging even for t = 1. We present several new results in this direction for t ≥ 2. - Let H be the family of hypergraphs H that is obtained by taking any set P of points in ℝ², setting V: = P and E: = {d ∩ P: d is a disk in ℝ²}. We prove that f_ H(2,k) ≤ 3.7^k, that is, the pairs of points (2-tuples) can be k-colored such that any disk containing at least 3.7^k points has pairs of all colors. We generalize this result to points and balls in higher dimensions. - For the family H of hypergraphs that are defined by grid vertices and axis-parallel rectangles in the plane, we show that f_H(2,k) ≤ √{ck ln k} for some constant c. We then generalize this to higher dimensions, to other shapes, and to tuples of larger size. - For the family H of shrinkable hypergraphs of VC-dimension at most d we prove that f_ H(d+1,k) ≤ c^k for some constant c = c(d). Towards this bound, we obtain a result of independent interest: Every hypergraph with n vertices and with VC-dimension at most d has a (d+1)-tuple T of depth at least n/c, i.e., any hyperedge that contains T also contains n/c other vertices. - For the relationship between t-tuple coloring and vertex coloring in any hypergraph H we establish the inequality 1/e⋅ tk^{1/t} ≤ f_H(t,k) ≤ f_H(1,tk^{1/t}). For the special case of k = 2, referred to as the bichromatic coloring, we prove that t+1 ≤ f_H(t,2) ≤ max{f_H(1,2), t+1}; this improves upon the previous best known upper bound. - We study the relationship between tuple coloring and epsilon nets. In particular we show that if f_H(1,k) = O(k) for a hypergraph H with n vertices, then for any 0 < ε < 1 the t-tuples of H can be partitioned into Ω((εn/t)^t) ε-t-nets. This bound is tight when t is a constant.

Uncertainty Management in the Construction of Knowledge Graphs: A Survey

Authors: Lucas Jarnac, Yoan Chabot, and Miguel Couceiro

Abstract
Knowledge Graphs (KGs) are a major asset for companies thanks to their great flexibility in data representation and their numerous applications, e.g., vocabulary sharing, Q&A or recommendation systems. To build a KG, it is a common practice to rely on automatic methods for extracting knowledge from various heterogeneous sources. However, in a noisy and uncertain world, knowledge may not be reliable and conflicts between data sources may occur. Integrating unreliable data would directly impact the use of the KG, therefore such conflicts must be resolved. This could be done manually by selecting the best data to integrate. This first approach is highly accurate, but costly and time-consuming. That is why recent efforts focus on automatic approaches, which represent a challenging task since it requires handling the uncertainty of extracted knowledge throughout its integration into the KG. We survey state-of-the-art approaches in this direction and present constructions of both open and enterprise KGs. We then describe different knowledge extraction methods and discuss downstream tasks after knowledge acquisition, including KG completion using embedding models, knowledge alignment, and knowledge fusion in order to address the problem of knowledge uncertainty in KG construction. We conclude with a discussion on the remaining challenges and perspectives when constructing a KG taking into account uncertainty.

Abstract
In the last decade, there has been a growing interest in applying AI technologies to implement complex data analytics over data streams. To this end, researchers in various fields have been organising a yearly event called the "Stream Reasoning Workshop" to share perspectives, challenges, and experiences around this topic. In this paper, the previous organisers of the workshops and other community members provide a summary of the main research results that have been discussed during the first six editions of the event. These results can be categorised into four main research areas: The first is concerned with the technological challenges related to handling large data streams. The second area aims at adapting and extending existing semantic technologies to data streams. The third and fourth areas focus on how to implement reasoning techniques, either considering deductive or inductive techniques, to extract new and valuable knowledge from the data in the stream. This summary is written not only to provide a crystallisation of the field, but also to point out distinctive traits of the stream reasoning community. Moreover, it also provides a foundation for future research by enumerating a list of use cases and open challenges, to stimulate others to join this exciting research area.

Survey
Towards Representing Processes and Reasoning with Process Descriptions on the Web

Authors: Andreas Harth, Tobias Käfer, Anisa Rula, Jean-Paul Calbimonte, Eduard Kamburjan, and Martin Giese

Published in: TGDK, Volume 2, Issue 1 (2024): Special Issue on Trends in Graph Data and Knowledge - Part 2. Transactions on Graph Data and Knowledge, Volume 2, Issue 1


Abstract
We work towards a vocabulary to represent processes and temporal logic specifications as graph-structured data. Different fields use incompatible terminologies for describing essentially the same process-related concepts. In addition, processes can be represented from different perspectives and levels of abstraction: both state-centric and event-centric perspectives offer distinct insights into the underlying processes. In this work, we strive to unify the representation of processes and related concepts by leveraging the power of knowledge graphs. We survey approaches to representing processes and reasoning with process descriptions from different fields and provide a selection of scenarios to help inform the scope of a unified representation of processes. We focus on processes that can be executed and observed via web interfaces. We propose to provide a representation designed to combine state-centric and event-centric perspectives while incorporating temporal querying and reasoning capabilities on temporal logic specifications. A standardised vocabulary and representation for processes and temporal specifications would contribute towards bridging the gap between the terminologies from different fields and fostering the broader application of methods involving temporal logics, such as formal verification and program synthesis.

Knowledge Graph Embeddings: Open Challenges and Opportunities

Abstract
While Knowledge Graphs (KGs) have long been used as valuable sources of structured knowledge, in recent years, KG embeddings have become a popular way of deriving numeric vector representations from them, for instance, to support knowledge graph completion and similarity search. This study surveys advances as well as open challenges and opportunities in this area. For instance, the most prominent embedding models focus primarily on structural information. However, there has been notable progress in incorporating further aspects, such as semantics, multi-modal, temporal, and multilingual features. Most embedding techniques are assessed using human-curated benchmark datasets for the task of link prediction, neglecting other important real-world KG applications. Many approaches assume a static knowledge graph and are unable to account for dynamic changes. Additionally, KG embeddings may encode data biases and lack interpretability. Overall, this study provides an overview of promising research avenues to learn improved KG embeddings that can address a more diverse range of use cases.

Knowledge Graphs for the Life Sciences: Recent Developments, Challenges and Opportunities

Authors: Jiaoyan Chen, Hang Dong, Janna Hastings, Ernesto Jiménez-Ruiz, Vanessa López, Pierre Monnin, Catia Pesquita, Petr Škoda, and Valentina Tamma

Published in: TGDK, Volume 1, Issue 1 (2023): Special Issue on Trends in Graph Data and Knowledge. Transactions on Graph Data and Knowledge, Volume 1, Issue 1


Abstract
The term life sciences refers to the disciplines that study living organisms and life processes, and include chemistry, biology, medicine, and a range of other related disciplines. Research efforts in life sciences are heavily data-driven, as they produce and consume vast amounts of scientific data, much of which is intrinsically relational and graph-structured. The volume of data and the complexity of scientific concepts and relations referred to therein promote the application of advanced knowledge-driven technologies for managing and interpreting data, with the ultimate aim to advance scientific discovery. In this survey and position paper, we discuss recent developments and advances in the use of graph-based technologies in life sciences and set out a vision for how these technologies will impact these fields into the future. We focus on three broad topics: the construction and management of Knowledge Graphs (KGs), the use of KGs and associated technologies in the discovery of new knowledge, and the use of KGs in artificial intelligence applications to support explanations (explainable AI). We select a few exemplary use cases for each topic, discuss the challenges and open research questions within these topics, and conclude with a perspective and outlook that summarizes the overarching challenges and their potential solutions as a guide for future research.

Abstract
Large Language Models (LLMs) have taken Knowledge Representation - and the world - by storm. This inflection point marks a shift from explicit knowledge representation to a renewed focus on the hybrid representation of both explicit knowledge and parametric knowledge. In this position paper, we will discuss some of the common debate points within the community on LLMs (parametric knowledge) and Knowledge Graphs (explicit knowledge) and speculate on opportunities and visions that the renewed focus brings, as well as related research topics and challenges.
